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 […]
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, re-installing Gentoo, […]
A quick setup:
Windows 2000 Server on a Dell PowerEgde 2600 - Xeon 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, ~34GB of Hard Disks, RAIDed.
Whoever set it up, decided to put the OS onto an 8GB partition. What the fuck?
We’re using 2 out of 8 drive bays!
On top of that, why would you dedicate 1/4 of the OS drive to […]
Last night, I dined with friends at Al Copeland’s Sweet Fire & Ice.
The name of the place, coupled with the fact that it is located in Metairie should have tipped me off.
Let me get this out of the way first: the food was splendiferous. If you go, get the Santa Fe Eggrolls and the chocolate […]
Whiskey is a bitch.
I really wish I had been better in English class, at least when it came to eloquence as opposed to grammar or spelling.
I’m sorry, that is all.
Throughout this whole thing, I should have acted better, more reasonable.
But, as much as I hate to admit it, I am only human, and are therefore […]
Not counting city driving, I have driven over 4,600 miles since Sept. 5th.
This.is.not.regular.intra-city.miles.
I haven’t owned a car in years.
I’m not going anywhere for a while, dammit.
I ran across a video of about 30 Giant Hornets slaughtering about 30,000 bees today.
The ruthless effiency, the sheer calculating brutality of this footage is awe-inspiring.
This is so ninja.
So, you can watch the video as is, or try my method.
Note: This method is not for those who dislike Cookie-Monster style death metal.
Would you at least […]
Want to kill me easily? Put a mini-claymore in my mouse.
The slightly less easy way? Make me fall for a girl.
Ah, the wanton click of a mouse.
Connections made, connections rended.
Wrought? Rent? Eh, I’m not not sure what the proper word is.
Either way, it’s temporary (in reality, a year and a half? more? i forget; seems […]
Oh, and i just got my eviction notice.
I have two days.
I have lived here for nearly five years, without any complaints.
The letter was mailed Sept. 16th. You know, when nobody was allowed in the city, because it was all underwater, and toxic and everything.
Tomorrow, I talk to my lawyer, and the rental management people.
Immorality such […]
okay, it’s just been a fucked day, so i am foregoing my quest for better capitalization.
1) macromedia - fix your fucking dreamweaver. you are now at rev 8, and why is it that i still can’t run the app if my disk is formatted UFS (Unix File System) on OSX?
get off your fucking asses and […]
