I’m just sitting here, starving at the airport. But since I’m stuck here for a bit, I thought I’d hop online (through my phone – woo!), and give you a piece of Delta advice. If you show up and there is a long line at the ticket counter, simply walk up to the self-serve terminal… Continue reading We Love to Fly, and it shows.

Getting Ready to say Goodbye
When I awoke this morning, there was a work crew at my six-plex. The renovations have begun, and it is only a short matter of time until William (the other tenant) and I get our respective eviction notcies. It was really only a matter of time, really. I figure I’ll recieve mine at the end… Continue reading Getting Ready to say Goodbye
Crises Precipitate Change. (office)
This title is used as a sample from Deltron 3030‘s track, Virus (video). I don’t usually cite the refences for my titles, but I felt this was extra appropriate. We (as people in general, but sysadmins specifically) try to prepare for disasters. In the even that one does occur, hopefully we take something from our… Continue reading Crises Precipitate Change.

Monitoring Credit.
I need to patch up my credit. I don’t think it’s horrible, and I’m not hurting in the $ department, but let’s face it: I’m forgetful. Next month, I am going to follow more the ways of Belen and start being smarter with my finances. That means checking up on myself through and fixing any… Continue reading Monitoring Credit.
Add a protocol to the heap.
So, I signed up for Skype, username revwillcore. I was quite hesitant to even visit the website of a product of Sharman Networks – the creators of that spyware-riddled product, Kazaa. Sonny was really the catalyst in this one. He said it made conferring with other 3d developers much much easier. Especially the ones whose… Continue reading Add a protocol to the heap.
Coming to Terms
I’m sorry. I’d really rather not be writing this letter to you, but I feel it is something that I just have to do. Perhaps I shouldn’t post this on my blog. Perhaps this is something best sent in a letter, or perhaps just not said at all. But that just wouldn’t be right. It… Continue reading Coming to Terms
WMF PSA
Okay, last post today, but this one really is serious. Hopefully by now, you have heard about this very bad WMF Vulnerability. It’s _really_ bad. I’m not going to go into details, don’t worry. Anyways, who knows when this will get patched by Microsoft, so the good guys at the SANS Internet Storm Center have… Continue reading WMF PSA
Looney Tunes.
Wheee! Sleep-dep is fun! Anyways kids, I have kicked asses, and subsequently jotted down the names that belong to said asses. So now, some video clips that I just can’t stop watching. Chances are good that you have seen some or all of them (ad nauseum, perhaps), but come on, they’re great. Watch ’em again.… Continue reading Looney Tunes.
Grrrbiscuits and Praise.
I’m still here at work. I would like to take this moment to praise Spiralcom Communications for two reasons: 1) WinTAR-SCSI – A beautiful piece of software that makes it stupid easy to restore GNU tars from a tape on a Win32 box. 2) Their tech support. I apparently misplaced my serial number. Figuring it… Continue reading Grrrbiscuits and Praise.
Go Figure. PERC Hates Me.
So, in the process of adding a new ~72GB SCSI Drive to my main server here at work, the PERC 4/Di Controller decided to re-initialize my existing array. What does this mean? 1) All work done today is gone. 2) My evening is gone, as I’ll be sitting here in my office working all night,… Continue reading Go Figure. PERC Hates Me.
