The Caffeinated Penguin

Sorry folks, I've just been rather busy.

Friday I went out to see Kill Bill 2 with Liz. Definitely a fun movie.

Saturday, I had to work. Not fun. But, then I took Liz out. We were going to go to Crazy Burger (a local Bohemian-type gourmet-ish eatery), but it was packed (as it often is) and so we went down the street to Fair Winds, a seafood restaurant. Very nice, small restaurant. Wish we had a bottle of wine, but such is life. Then, we went to see Jersey Girl. Also a cute movie.

Went to breakfast on Sunday, and then Liz was heading out to see The Graduate with my mother. Simon called me, and we hadn't seen each other for awhile, so we walked around, rescued a damsel in distress (she was trying to carry her very heavy Dell computer), had a cigar, grabbed some Spike's hotdogs for dinner, and just basically caught up on stuff.

Then I came back, and worked on my server. LVM2 is quite cool. Now I'm just moving about 200GB of data which, of course, takes time.

My office full of computers. There are 5 computers in this desk.
- The blue one with the RedHat sticker
- The small one under the desk (not visible)
- The black server case (under the laptop)
- The laptop
- The humidor pc (on top the hutch next to the white laser printer)

And I still have another one that is in the stereo rack.

I love computers.

My job just finances my technology addiction.
