Wednesday had what may actually be the end of the whole week-long wrangle over how the e-mail we’re sending out looks. Of course, it took all day, but them’s the breaks sometimes. So tomorrow, we hope everything goes back to normal and nobody has to work a bunch of overtime at home.
What else. [...]

Work on Wednesday wasn’t really all that interesting, though some folks decided to wait until 5 minutes before quitting time and say, “Can you do (complicated stuff)? Right now?” I don’t know why people do that. They have a great talent for that, though.
We had Rock Band at my place, since Steve’s [...]

Tuesday had a bunch of stuff to do at work, including fooling with mail servers and doing something that we described as “teaching a chicken to ride a pig”. At least most of that worked properly. We were discussing sites like Groupon, and I said, “We should make a website called dealvampirebat.com! [...]

Wednesday had relatively normal work things. I also gave blood in the morning, which didn’t hurt as much as it had previously. However, I filled the donation bag relatively quickly, and felt light-headed after it finished. I had to lie down, drink water, and eat Chex Mix before I felt good enough [...]

Tuesday was pretty normal at work, with the exception of a small machine that had something weird happen to its filesystem right after I got in. It was relatively easy and quick to fix. It’s just. . . strange that so many things have had weird filesystem problems in the last few weeks.

Somehow, I don’t think this picture is totally legit. Otters have dextrous paws. They also have better taste in beer than to just take a Bud Light.
Wednesday was reasonably normal at work, though I didn’t get the chance to test a large new script fully and was reluctant to put it into production [...]

Tuesday had less stuff happen at work than usual, which was sort of good. On the bus home, I saw a pickup truck that had “NCC-1701″ in stencils along its left side. Who says truck owners can’t be geeky?
Trivia: almost everyone was there, and we ended up winning. Also, apparently Trevor has [...]

Wednesday at work was a lot like this picture. I fixed one problem and then another one cropped up.
Fortunately, I got to leave a few minutes early. Had Rock Band at my place with Steve and Stephanie, with leftover chicken lasagna, beans, and rice. Moira sang along with me for a bit when [...]

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 [...]

This is not really what Wednesday was like. No, it was harder than that, as there were a bunch of stupid problems with moving a service over to another box. What made it even harder was that one of the test cases we were using didn’t work at all, and it didn’t show [...]
