I took a quick jaunt uptown today to help my friend, a (quasi-?) retired lawyer, hook his cable internet line up to his shiny new wireless router.
About 15 minutes after arriving at his house, his two laptops and his wife’s desktop (who was up until today connecting via dial-up – *the horror*) were hooked up [...]
Possible alternate titles: ZOMGBIES! or Zombies? In my New Orleans? It’s more likely than you think.
So, the demo for Left 4 Dead 2 became available today for those who pre-ordered it.
HOLY KATRINA FLASHBACKS, BATMAN!
The short of L4D: it’s a first-person shooter set in a zombie apocalypse, and 4 people have survived – you have to [...]
The other day, the server I share with the other bicycle/computer nerd Will (yes, there are two of us) went down.
I called my friend Paul who basically runs the datacenter the box lives in to give him a heads up I’d be heading over. Paul was already having a rough work day, but still carved [...]
If you follow me on Twitter ( @dubtea ), you would have seen that yesterday that Bea had completed her first bike commute from our house in the Marigny to her office in Harahan. As you may or may not remember, she had quite a bit of trouble the last time she made the attempt [...]
I need to get back on this horse. I got called out (not by name) by Pistolette, and need to take action.
I actually updated my wordpress installation (oooh, shiny!) and installed a new plugin, so it will x-post to my old LJ account – I notice that some of you post on the LJ feed [...]
Bea’s Mom couldn’t have known the full extent of what she was doing when she bought a Wii. Classic case of good intentions gone awry.
I spent a good part of the evening tonight doing two things: reading Neil Stephenson’s Anathem while compiling software packages in the background, and playing the following on the Wii: [...]
I got a call (well, a text, really) this morning, prompting me to hurriedly run out of my house and head to the office. My linux server, the workhorse, the reliable one, was apparently offline. Suck.
I get there, and while it is powered up, it is absolutely unresponsive. Might as well had been off. So, [...]
Well, things are a bit up and maybe down today, despite my mild hangover.
For the definite up, my pay cut will be $5k, not $10k. Definitely makes me feel a bit better. I was feeling better about the $10k the other day, as new work with new clients was developing. I am very excited about [...]
I was just combing through my spam filter and noticed a certain number of emails, all with a similar theme: my stupid face.
While not particularly effective, it is nonetheless extremely funny.
I ran across this, and found it interesting: Mux Tapes. Create an account, upload up to 12 or so songs, and share it with people. I took a sampling of what has lately been in heavy rotation, and ordered it alphabetically.
Here’s mine, so go forth and enjoy.
And if you create one, let me know [...]
