Somehow, I don’t think a bunch of evil kitten minions would really allow an Evil Overlord to enact a despicable plan. I could be wrong though. Saturday had a lot of laundry and cleaning. I’ve got plans to shampoo the carpet on Sunday, since it really needs it. No idea how long it’ll take. I’ve [...]

Friday! Always a good day. Sort of. One machine ate all of its disk space for silly reasons. This was not insanely hard to fix, but it took some time to figure out where everything had gone wrong. Those of us who went out to lunch took advantage of the cooler weather to walk all [...]

Thursday had a whole bunch of people protesting the (somewhat defanged) enactment of SB1070 near the Capitol. This really didn’t affect us that much, even though a number of people worked from home because they were worried about traffic or stupidity. I didn’t get delayed coming in to work, possibly because I was coming from [...]

Wednesday, the big excitement was the injunction against SB1070. Here’s what the local paper had to say about the whole thing. Reading the comments attached to that article may not be the best course of action, though. There are a lot of stupid people on the Internet, and they seem to be louder and more [...]

Late last night, they released the “Crafting Buildings” in Farmville. I got a winery and looked at the stuff that you could make. At launch, you could make sake, red table wine, white sangria, and stuff like that. OK, whatever. This morning, I looked at the winery again, and found that now you could make [...]

Monday was actually not bad at work. There were some stupid problems with some old database stuff, which were actually mostly fixed after I found what had gone wrong. It’s amazing how much /opt/sybase/OCS/lib looks like /opt/sybase/OSC/lib, where the second one fails miserably with hard-to-understand errors while the first one works perfectly. Against stupid typos, [...]

Sunday was really not much like this picture at all. I did laundry, got groceries, amused Moira, and watched an old movie after dinner. Work on Monday will probably involve much more chainsaw-balancing type things.

Saturday, right before I was going to go to the grocery store, I got a call from work. Something was screwed up. Of course, this particular thing had been screwed up since Thursday, but it wasn’t important enough to get noticed until Saturday. Good grief. So I didn’t get to go to the grocery store. [...]

Friday had a bunch of stuff at work. More problems and really stupid things happening with one of the machines we’re trying to migrate. But at least we all got to go out to lunch, at Majerle’s this time. I go there every Tuesday night for trivia, but hardly ever eat there. The food’s basically [...]

The person pictured to the right was apparently the guy who made a lot of money selling vuvuzelas. If you were annoyed by the BZZZZZ in the background of the 2010 World Cup televised games, you’d want to pistol-whip that guy. Thursday was decidedly non-fun, mostly because a box fell over on Wednesday and our [...]
