Good Stuff Tonight

Make certain you tune into The Show tonight. Perhaps you’re stuck on a train, making your long journey home from the New Year festivities. While you’re sitting there soiling yourself, find the nearest wireless AP and listen to some filthy, interesting characters.

Gentle News for Dinner

If you listen to The Show tonight, it’s guaranteed that you will win the lottery, get your dream job, or win big in some other manner very soon. I don’t make the rules, that’s just how it is. No disclaimers.

You Know The Drill

I should automate this post. I’m far too famous to be reminding people once a week to listen to the best gorram internet show in the word.

Another call for help

If you’re handy with Linux, NFS and possibly EVMS, please let me know. I need to pull in some help on a huge disaster at work.
Update: I finally got the problem solved, without compromise, around 7am. Thanks for the offers and moral support.

Tee Minus Thirteen

In about thirteen minutes, I will pull the trigger on probably the most dangerous IT stunt I’ve ever had to pull. I’ve been planning this for several months, and I have backups upon backups, so theoretically there’s room for a little bit of error. I’m still scared shitless.
With the high-availability needs of my co-workers, it [...]

The Big Homecoming

Tonight will be the first live show of 2006. If you don’t listen, you’re destined to have a terrible year. Also, we’re still looking for some help, so if you want to join us tonight and have a good time, let us know.

All I Want For Christmas, belated

If, like mine, your old PCs,
And peripherals as well,
Remain in piles, long worse for wear,
When they should be sent to Hell,
And if, by chance, one of those piles
Contains an old ScanJet,
Then please, I beg, give it to me.
This act I would never forget.
In the past, I employed many ScanJet 4s,
And, once, a ScanJet 3.
Alas, at [...]

2006: The year of Gettin’ It Done

I mentioned in the Rev’s journal that I’ve made up my mind to be more resolved about everything this year. I’m going to Get It Done, whatever It is. I’m going to start by getting It organized. B is a huge help in this area, as she loved to organize things, but I can’t ask [...]

Happy *SNORT* New *ACHOO* Year *SPLUT*

I’m ringing in the new year with the most awful cold/sinus bout in recent memory. I can’t sleep and I’m exhausted. Baby is doing all she can to take care of me, but I’m just beyond help. I’m cranky and mean and a huge jerk to everybody.
If I don’t wake up 100% better tomorrow, I’m [...]
