( Grrr... and Cycling )

So, it would appear that this year’s two most likely men to win the Tour de France have been pulled by their teams for doping allegations.
So, Jan Ullrich got pulled from T-Mobile first, leaving my boy Ivan Basso. Without the threat of Jan, Basso would be all-but-guaranteed a victory.
Well, CSC pulled Basso. There must be […]

When it rains, it pours.

( Grrr... and Work )

So, I spent about two hours today at work doing damage control. It started raining in my office.
Not _my_ office, but _the_ office.
While I’m up on the 3rd and 4th floors trying to determine what pipe blew up, I get a frantic call. The water is spreading on our floor.
Our PBX (phone system), amongst […]

Halfway There

( NOLA and Grrr... and Geekery )

Well, I kinda have net access at home. Bellsouth still hasn’t been able to make it over here to fixe my line, unfortunately.
So here is what I did: I had a spare USB Wireless Adapter and a USB extension cord. I had to nail the adapter kinda high up the wall to get a signal, […]

6.6.06

( Music and Grrr... )

Well kids, the day has arrived. Happy 666!
May your day be filled with Slayer. And Goatwhore. And Deicide. And Black Sabbath. And Iron Maiden. (all links to videos)
It’s goddamn electric.

Reuters should have waited till today to post this story. Lions 1, Christians 0.
Also, happy birthday to my roommate.

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 […]

God Harp is in the T.V. Laptop

( Grrr... and Drunkery and Linux/OSX )

Just what I need, lemme tell ya. I have relied on my laptop so much over the past months, between being stuck in Texas, N.C., or couch surfing here in NOLA.
Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my living room (Molly’s, at the end of the bar), getting some work done, and the guy next to […]

Where I lay my head is home

( NOLA and Grrr... )

It’s official. I’m homeless. Can you sense my exuberation?
And I discovered that my neighbor absconded with Goatwhore II: The Goattee™. Sadness.

Time to Unmask the Devil

( NOLA and Grrr... )

So, I got my 30-day eviction notice today. Did I not call it?
30 days…
And to think, today I decided to dry up for a bit. Talk about timing.

‘Cause you come from out of nowhere…

( NOLA and Grrr... and Uncategorized )

Drama begets drama. It’s weird. Just by typing this entry, I am getting involved, somehow. Perpetratin’ the Hate™, as I like to say.
The odd thing is, these two recent bits of “drama” (they’re not, really - just examples) seemed to come out of nowhere. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve been known to stir the […]

Grrrbiscuits and Praise.

( Grrr... and Work and Geekery and Linux/OSX )

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 would be a […]
