I guess it slipped my mind that it gets hot in Texas. :)

/me just noticed the 15 month gap in posting…

Glad it’s finally the weekend. Too bad it’s cold and rainy. :/ #readyfortheweekend #tgif

covers a multitude of misfires…

I’ve never made my bed a day in my life, but I’ve made it virtually everyday for the last three weeks… #strange

Parked by THE boss today… Nice car. :)

Yeah, so while I was gone, it warmed up pretty good over here… :)

Proly didnt but thinks he saw Maria Thayer in lax. While walking down 3 terminals. Lax #fail. Any airport where u have to leave security is dead to me.

Hmm, grandmother’s suddenly in bad health. Details tbd. Prayers greatly accepted.

Anyone have the desire, the means, and the time to spend a week in France to go see Chad?

Strangely in my head last Sunday morning:

zfs and I are not on speaking terms right now…

What do you mean the nearest Sonic is 30 minutes away?!?

At first I thought it was the cold, but now I’m thinking that I must be allergic to something out here. I wonder what my options are for a sore/scratchy throat…

I think my shredder’s on its last leg. I’ve done a crap-ton of paper, but I don’t recall it ever refusing to work. I’m thinking heat issues.

Check. I guess I should use the lack of a neighbor to its full advantage while I still can. :) Also, my monitors better get here in the morning, else I’m going to be pissed. :)

Hookups complete. Washer cycling now. Dryer initial test looked good. (I had to swap out the dryer cord.) Washer louder than I remember…

In my head for the past two mornings: Lisa Loeb – Stay (I Missed You)

It makes the day a bit better when you wake up with Coldplay in your head. :)

The place where people can’t be bothered to figure out where their friends’ blogs are, call, email, or write their friends, nor be bothered to read or write more than 140 characters. Freeloaders welcome.

…is cancelling credit cards he never uses anymore…

…spent the whole day coding up a geocoder…

Let me know if you’re in the market for a simple city geocoder. :)

is thinking that I’ve got a fabric softener allergy. Not sure what else would account for this super itchiness on the soles of my feet. Nor would it particularly explain why it’s only started occurring in the last couple of days…

In my head this morning: Keane – Somewhere Only We Know

…is in circular typedef struct reference hell.

It’s like I’m that kid on America’s Funniest Home Videos picking up one ice cube, only to drop another. Rinse and repeat, except I’m moving #includes around…

apparently forgot how hot a 100° day will make the asphalt. Ouch.

Forgot how much I hate commercials in things I paid for…

Update: The Hangover was awesome by the way. Worth sitting through the Dove and car commercials.

How did this day start out so good and end up so craptastically?

is feeling much better after getting a much needed ram swap (it was panicing all the time). And I am contemplating whether or not updating the l7 filtering on my firewall is worth the new kernel + wrecking its 163 day uptime.

is in awe and utter bewilderment at his uncanny ability to literally and always lose a screw when working on the rear passenger tail light. :(

How these screws fall into the 12th dimension I’ll never know. At least this time, some hard rocking revealed its hiding place. Now if only that other screw would turn up, the tail light would be whole again.

Who wants to go for a week, one of the middle two weeks in March, to see Rob?

I was dumb and when I finally went to eat lunch at like 4pm forgot to take my wallet! Good thing I keep all that change in the console. The lady didn’t bat an eye when I paid her in exact change; $5 worth of quarters.

I’ve spent most of my day packaging up various l7-filter debs. I’ve been meaning to play with qos for forever, and was finally in the mood to fight with it today.

Oh, and distcc has to be the worst packaged thing ever. It absolutely requires you to specify acls (the –allow flag) restricting access, but only allows you to specify to listen on one ip. How’s that supposed to work? Apparently I have to listen on all interfaces, else I restrict myself to only 1 subnet. Like say when my hostname has an AAAA record, distcc pukes. I can’t add my /64 to –allow, so I have to listen on my internal ip. That’s well and good and all, but then what if I want to connect to localhost? Then I’m sol… It makes no sense.

is kicking himself (again) for waiting a day too late to pick up his tickets for Christmas.

is in his head this morning. Oddly enough I’ve actually seen them live in Atlanta.

…is hating on Vanguard and kicking himself for not capitalizing on today’s bounce in the market.

…and for unknown reasons feels compelled to say that the leaves started turning and falling last week.

this morning: Religious Man (I am I am)

is sad because he was just informed it’s been like four years since he’s seen his good friend Chad. :(

is kicking himself because he thinks he got facebook fished. :( And so He’s spending some quality time changing passwords…

We’ll see if I can conjure up a real post…

is happy he got to see the Mertz’s and the Westers last night and this morning on their way to Durham. :)

and the Jets — I dunno why it’s in my head.

And I forgot to post more pictures until tonight, so there was a little hiatus, but we’re back on track for a while.

in my head this morning: Dave Matthews Band – Christmas Song.

is reinstalling his filer yet again. This is like the second time it’s locked up and then decided not to want to boot up after I’ve kicked it. Does not bode well for long term Nexenta stability. Granted I have like zero low level Solaris troubleshooting skills, but I can’t recall the last time it was I had a linux system totally buy the farm. I’ve managed to get myself into some sticky situations, where my linux skills have saved me, but this is ridiculous. Let’s just say I haven’t been impressed with Solaris. Honestly I have no idea why everyone buys their expensive stuff.

In my head this morning: Augustana “Sweet and Low”

is sweating in his own apartment. Not cool.

is buying 1TB hard drives from Frys, one drive at a time.

Yesterday: Coldplay – The Scientist
Today: Daniel Powter – Bad Day
