Saturday. Not that much to talk about, really. It’s really hot in Phoenix. I haven’t been doing that much.
I did run into some trouble with a badly documented wireless setup, though. They said “use ESSID ‘thing1′ and password ‘1234567890′.” This was, of course, not correct. The thing that worked [...]

Monday actually felt great, mostly because I didn’t have to answer any trouble tickets. I felt a bit like this snow leopard, who finally caught his own tail and is obviously pleased with that. There were ordinary things like banging on webservers and databases all day, but that’s part of the job.
A co-worker [...]

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 [...]

This guinea pig agrees: “Inception” is definitely worth seeing. It’s not that often that you see a movie that works as an action movie, a (sort of) love story, and a heist movie. “Inception” fits all of that. Of course, you have to suspend disbelief, but it all works if you [...]

This cat looks sort of like Moira with much longer hair. I wonder if it’s as loud as Moira.
Wednesday was reasonably normal at work. Got some stuff done, even though I got a totally silly request that took a long time in the middle of doing stuff.
We had Rock Band at my place, [...]

Kittens really know how to party.
Let’s see. . . not a whole lot to report for a non-work Monday. I finally got the new board, CPU, and RAM installed in my desktop box. Now it’s a dual-core Sempron with 2G instead of a single-core Athlon64 with 1G. (Translation for non-techs: it’ll run [...]

Monday, it was time to go back to work. This wasn’t nearly as bad as it could’ve been. There were some hassles, of course—mostly related to a piece of hardware that had broken, and was going to take a lot of annoyance to fix. There was also an internal server that we’ve [...]

I don’t know that guinea pigs have ever been possessed by demons and attempted to kill or eat anyone. But their eyes sure reflect camera flash if you catch them right.
Sunday was a lot more relaxed than Saturday. No need to go anywhere, no lost luggage, just doing laundry and grocery shopping and [...]

Monday, I really didn’t do a whole lot, since I didn’t have to go to work. Read a book, dealt with some oddness in Gentoo’s GNOME packages, and had ramen for dinner. Moira meowed a lot.
I also see that Wordpress 3.0 is out. I think I’ll hold off on installing that. [...]

Friday, I got up really early to try to do some stuff. I found out that something was broken somewhere. Then I fixed it (I think), but by then it was too late to do the stuff. So I’ll be getting up really early on Saturday morning.
This website was down for a [...]
