Open like yo Moms.

( Work and Geekery and Linux/OSX )

I work for a Marine Insurance Underwriting company. I don’t really feel like going into what our role is, but just know we deal with insurance for boats.
Part of the Patriot Act states that when a policy is being created or is up for renewal, we must check the insured’s name against the OFAC (Office […]

Lawd, I’ll be in that number…

( NOLA and Drunkery )

Just got my Saints season tickets. Will be sitting with Jonah, Sonny, Jude, Chris, and others.
Section 630, Row 8, Seat 8. We’re gonna have us some fun.
Who Dat?

Shoot me. Please.

( Grrr... and Work and Geekery )

I have one of my users’ computers in my office, as it seemed to completely bork yesterday. Nothing like the Three R’s of Microsoft (Reboot, Reformat, Reinstall), right?
Anyways, her tower is currently in my office, down the hall from hers. I’m running 47 critical/serious patches right now, and doing a general reinstall. Let me re-iterate […]

Christopher Miller Bozeman

It is with profound sadness that the death of Christopher Miller Bozeman is recorded. Chris passed away on March 29, 2006, at his home in New Orleans. He was 30 years of age. Born in New Orleans on August 26, 1975, he was reared in Houston, Texas, and lived a number of adult years in […]

Sypmathy Pains

( NOLA )

So, an otherwise good weekend (and what looks to be a similar week) is shadowed by crap.
Today, I’ve been having odd shots of pain / spasms running up and down my left arm. My friend Chris (not Rose’s boyfriend, the cyclist) died the other week, and up until this weekend, we (Sonny, Lara, Tara, myself, […]

Seventh Season Stretch

I just wrapped up the 6th season of the West Wing this weekend, after a month-long hiatus. In anticipation, I have already downloaded 5 or 6 episodes via bittorrent (and I’m about to grab some more), to catch me up to the the close of this final, 7th season.
Damn you Dave and Belen for getting […]

Shake it like a Polaroid picture

( Photos and Amusing )

I ran across Jowlers.com somehow yesterday, and couldn’t stop clicking. This lead me to of course get out my camera and make my own, and submit one.
Here are three that I took:

I’ll have to work on my technique when I don’t have a headache.
For best results, use a flash kiddies. Please post up pics […]

Praclarush Taonas

( NOLA )

So, it looks like we may have to rename New Orleans to New Atlantis. Brings a whole new meaning to the term “Deep South”. Yeah, that was bad. Sorry.
And to think, we’ve always joked about it would be San Francisco that would end up falling into the ocean.
I sent that link to Jonah on Monday, […]
