Lots of stuff happened Saturday night. However, stupid problems with the PHP on the VM this site is hosted on mean that there’s no way I’ll be able to get an update out by 6:30am MST.

Caturday! There’s not a whole lot going on, but I was able to deal with almost all of the junk that I got handed on Friday. Even though I had to get up at 5am and do some semi-complex things with a couple of DRBD cluster boxes. Whatever, the maintenance I did worked with practically [...]

Friday, I have to get up really early and perform some maintenance on the database box and another machine. It should be no problem, apart from the “getting up early” bit. Thursday was fairly quiet. I remembered the book (a short story collection by Jonathan Lethem). It’s quite a bit better than Ink, though the [...]

Wednesday, I unintentionally slept in for half an hour and had to take the late bus. And of course, I realized that I’d left the book I was going to read on the end table when I’d gotten 40 feet out the door, and decided there probably wasn’t enough time to go back. There was [...]

Tuesday was really full.  After work, I thought I had some time to eat dinner and try to clean the place up since the plan was for everyone to show up at my place at 7pm.  Of course, Zach showed up at 6:15pm.  And the trivia contest was at Skeptical Chymist in Scottsdale instead of [...]

This picture has nothing to do with anything, and is just silly. Monday was reasonably quiet. One of us was sick, and another of us took an on-call day, so things were a bit more subdued than usual. I fixed an annoying problem, and documented all the stuff I did to fix it, so that [...]

So on Sunday, I went out and got a splitter and some coax so that I could watch the Cards play the 49ers while still connected to the Net. After I connected everything, the cablemodem went into “trying to connect” mode for over a minute, and I thought that the splitter I’d bought was broken. [...]

The big excitement on Saturday was going to the gun show with Jen and Zach. That wasn’t really that interesting, though. No one was looking for new guns, and I had stupidly left my scope mount in the car, so I couldn’t really look for a scope. I found some reasonably cheap ammo, but that [...]

Saturday was supposed to be lazy. However, I’m going to the gun show with Zach and Jen and possibly some people from the Zombie Squad, because there was some interest in that early on Friday morning. The only things I’d want or need are a sling and an inexpensive scope, though. We might also go [...]

I’ve been reading Ink by Hal Duncan. It’s not all that coherent, but it’s still interesting. Apparently, the apocalypse happened. Except it didn’t go as planned. So the plot has a backdrop of some angels trying to bring some order to chaos, a whole bunch of lost and confused people, a bunch of strange nanotech [...]
