Yay for hamsters! Also, yay for the Firefox Nagios Addon, which showed me something was wrong on Thursday morning right when I was eating breakfast. With that info, I was able to fix everything before anyone noticed and called in a problem. Friday, Trevor’s taping for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, the 10th anniversary [...]

Some names don’t go all that well with some businesses. Would you buy a chair from a store called “Assmann’s”? I’m making progress on the big project at work. It’s moving slower than I’d like, of course, but things are happening and it does a lot more than it did before. It doesn’t work right [...]

Dogs don’t have the cognitive skills to play poker. Robots, though. . . . It was a long day at work on Tuesday and it’ll be a long one on Wednesday. At least I got to work on the big project in between putting out fires and helping other people do stuff. Trivia: The speakers [...]

Old boss is going to Ireland next week, which will be a nice break for him. There was a lot of kvetching about the way upper management and HR [...]

The movie “G-Force” is really lousy according to a review that I saw today. So here’s a much less lousy guinea pig. Not a whole lot of excitement on Thursday. Well, there was a problem when I walked in the door, and I immediately saw what needed to be done and fixed it. “Wait, you [...]

Who doesn’t love a good ferret loaf? On Wednesday, someone found out that you could print out a coupon and get a burrito for free with the purchase of a drink at Baja Fresh today. So we did that. It’s always nice when you can get lunch for $1.72. The only problem was that it’s [...]

The prairie dogs are getting really militant. Maybe we should call in that groundskeeper from “Caddyshack” or something. Trivia: We had everyone there for the first time in a really long time. This was mostly because we all learned that Trevor got selected for “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” and the taping’s July 31. [...]
