My day is just dragging. I've gotten so much done, and (of course) I'm going to keep working until 5, but I feel like I've done a day's work in half a day (which is good; I don't feel so far behind).
So, tonight it looks like the Shadowrun game is going to start up [...]

Sort of a screwed up day. I wanted nothing more than to putter around the house, but the new 320GB SDLT drive for the server came in on Friday, so Liz had to put it in the server today (Sunday). I figured we'd go out to breakfast, then go to work and do it, and [...]

I just replaced my 19″ KDS CRT monitor with a 19″ NEC LCD monitor.
The story:
I'm in Staples with Liz. It's right next to the supermarket, and I needed computer paper, so we stopped in. I see it, from across the store. $529 on clearance – $30 les than the 18″ NEC. $300 less than [...]

I'm pissed. I've been pissed for a couple days. Behind schedule, and of course, and I helped with the server migration, and it's been two fucking weeks since I touched it, and the guy talking with the database company hasn't done anything, so it's still “broken” (which has more to do with the busted-ass [...]

Waiting for folks to come down for a demo of a printer again.
Of course, this is the “beat to hell, on it's last legs, relegated to driver testing because we don't care how good the cards look” printer. But, the good printers are on a FedEx truck somewhere between New Orleans and here. So, suddenly, [...]

Liz and I went to a computer show yesterday. It was basically dead. I suppose the problem is the internet. Why bother to buy lots of stuff and cart it around to shows when you can just set up an online store and ship it to people? They had some cheap media, but that was [...]

, told me that Magnolia was a good movie. What kind of drugs were you on there, hun? I mean, the character development, all 2 and a half HOURS of it was very well done, but there was no freaking PLOT! The only good part of it was the frogs, because they were funny.
Hannibal, on [...]

Finally. Long week at work, but it's finally done. Plus, most of the major problems that were bugging me this week seem to have been resolved.
In the news:
New PC form factor : BTX.
Friendlier, more insecure ATM's – they run Windows.
1000MB != 1GB = sue.
Yet another Windows Worm.
There's a computer show this [...]

The domain migration is done. We moved 3 Windows machines to 2 Debian GNU/Linux servers. They're beefy. Dual Athlon MP's of high spec (2600? 2800? something like that), ICP Vortex SATA raid controller, 4 120GB drives in a RAID-5 array. Gigabit ethernet. And there are 2 of them. They're beefy. Cheap too. Like $3,000 for [...]

So, I have to work tomorrow. G/f Liz and I are migrating all the computers from the old Windows domain over to the new Linux domain. So, I whipped out a quicl perl script to handle the mailserver inbox migration. The old server was almost mbox style, except that they were split out into different [...]
