Yay, I got my Macintosh working!

Anyone got System 8.5 laying around on CDROM?

Note to self: When setting up backup DNS on a machine, make sure it's actually mirroring the DNS zones that you have pointed at it. Damnit.

If anyone wonders why my mail is bouncing, it's because I'm an idiot.

Allergy pills + Alieve + no sleep + hunger = really bad things

ugh, I feel so out of it right now. Thank god I'm still mentally sharp enough to do my job, and do it well, I just walk and talk like a drunken idiot. :->

On the other hand, I feel REALLY good, and my allergies are being really cool. w00t!

Spiderman rocked. Go see it. If you already did, go see it again. That is all.

'8 mile' looks really cool. i gotta see it when it comes out.

spider man is sold out. i had to get tickets to the 8pm showing. it better be good :->

It's pretty bad when you can throw me a linux box and a cisco and I can make you a secure server with an internet connection in under an hour, but you give me a microwave and I spend 3 minutes figuring out how to use the damn thing.

I wish I were kidding.

I can grok the command line like it's nobody's business, but man, you throw something with beepy buttons and I'm all like "huh?". I manage to pop popcorn everyday at work because it has a button that pops the popcorn for me. I try to warm up a burrito at home, and it's like rocket science.

I think my brain has been fried by technology. Today I was discussing how to multihome a laptop with it's own ASN and /24 using a Verizon CDMA modem and a Sprint CDMA modem for your redundant connections, and using zebra to establish bgp sessions.

I'm just a sick, sick bastard, that's all there is to it.

Blah, pretty interesting evening. Not too bad, not to exciting. Radio shack phone people are idiots. So is verizon. Their own CSRs didn't know about a service they supposedly offer according to their website.
Oh well. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Anyway, today we had excellent propogation of 802.11b waves today. Picked up APs I've never seen before, quite well even. That reminds me I've gotta upgrade the firmware on B's card next time I'm there. I think it improves range slightly.

Apologies to and for waking them up. People asleep at 3:30am? Who would have thought?! 😉 My bad. 🙁

Anyway, I'm exhausted, and I can't find my fuzzy again. I need to get that thing surgically attached to me or something. 🙁

update: I found my fuzzy. w00t!

Got pulled over again today. Another waivable headlight ticket.
I tried turning on my interior light in addition to the way I usually make my hands visible. The cop seemed taken aback, and quite at ease. He even forgot to ask me for my proof of insurance. It was funny.
I was pulled over because my brake light had part of it that was "visibly white" (it's a tiny bit cracked, I'm going to put some red tape on it today I think so I don't get pulled over for that again anymore.. That and he didn't notice the turn signal on that side was burned out. woot.)
Anyway, I got a headlight ticket, as usual. Now I just gotta toss a few bucks at a bulb. I think I'll wrap my headlight in packing tape to see if it will keep the bulb dry so it doesn't explode again. One of these days I gotta get myself a recently new used car that doesn't look so suspicious. :->
