Saturday didn’t actually have a lot going on. Fuzzball was awake and meowing all day, I got some reading done, and I finally got Teh Nacho’s Christmas gift out. Seriously. I was going to give him an Amazon gift certificate, but I forgot to bring it to the last rifle range day. So I used [...]

Caturday, and the cats are singing old Bruce Springsteen songs. Friday was pretty good, except for a series of problems that all happened one right after the other around lunchtime. One of our customers had a database problem. Then a bunch of our machines freaked out for no apparent reason. We got it all under [...]

Thursday was a lot less hectic that Wednesday was, mostly because nothing broke horribly. And we had a short informal meeting about what we might do if we had some new hardware that had more RAM and CPU than the stuff we’ve currently got. That’s always useful. What else. . . not much, really.

I am not that hardcore, so I made a tuna noodle casserole instead. Sunday was really not that exciting. Well, there were [...]

Movie ideas that are completely silly? On the Internet? It’s more likely than you think. Saturday didn’t have all that much going on. Did laundry, catered to Fuzzball, read a book, relaxed.

Sometimes, you can fits in these pants. Or something like that. Friday was good, mostly because it was a Friday. There were a few work annoyances. About twice as many people as usual wanted to look at the website throughout the day, which meant I was constantly fiddling with things to make the performance not [...]

Sometimes, you just have to show off the classic cartoons of the 1980s. “Pear Pimples for Hairy Fishnuts”? Genius! (link goes to full cartoon) Thursday, it was raining almost all day. The greater Phoenix metro area didn’t actually have a lot of problems despite the rain. Well, they canceled incoming flights in the early afternoon, [...]
