Right now, at this very moment, I am sincerely considering an enormous career move. I just wish I had the nerves right now, at this very moment, to come up with even a clue of what that new career would be.
I’ve never been one of the “FUCK MICRO$OFT!” a-holes, but in the last several months, [...]

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.
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 [...]
All I Want For Christmas, belated
January 9th, 2006 in Audio, Media, Potpourri, Tech and code. 3 CommentsIf, 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 [...]
BREAKING NEWS: The Gentle News Streamin’, Screamin’ Intarweb Show debuts tonight!

If you call it a podcast I will make you pay, I will make your family pay, and I will make your pets pay. [...]
Well, not really.
Go add yourself to the GentleNews Frappr map. Just a silly little app to track friends, readers, etc. Looks pretty benign to me.
I’m shuffling around all of the PCs at home. The two main goals are to (1) give B a nicer machine on which to play her silly human simulator games and (2) to have a more robust and snappy file/game server in the living room.
The bitch is that I have about 500 gigabytes of data [...]
A year or two ago, I would have blown money I couldn’t afford to blow on this, because that’s what I did. But not today. I’m better now, though I can’t say I wasn’t tempted.
It is a damn good price though… Hmm…
NO! I won’t do it. I can do all that shit on any one [...]
I’m sure most people who care already know, so I won’t go into details at the moment (especially since I’m late for training), but due to some bullshit my main page and a few others have been bumped back to out-of-the-box WP for now. I’ll get to work on a redesign soon, and fix that [...]
Nimble Acrobats, Transformers, and Dead Spammers
November 11th, 2004 in Blogging, Potpourri and Tech. 3 CommentsI still don’t have this place organized the way I want, so I’ll just stick this here: If you’re using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (reader or writer), and you’re sick of it taking so long to load, just go in and remove a bunch of the included plugins that you know you’ll never use. Mine went [...]
