Dude it is nuts at mongolian barbeque. I had to wait just to get a blinky thing. 😮

I'm bored, tired, and feel like warmed poop.

I was so bored I wrote a SIP implementation (in perl(!)) that can connect to a server, make a phone call, and then starts up its own RTP processor that simply echos back everything the callee says. Becky and I were using it to make funny noises at each other. We're mature like that.

But I had my first real-world use for the fork() system call. yay!

Yea, so I have a cold and am running a fever. I've been feeling it since 25 Dec. It sucks.

Tomorrow I have a site install. It's gonna be fun if my coworker is still ill (different sickness) and I feel like this. And by fun I mean "suck". And I can't loop the SJ on the customer site in fucking Clio, so Friday's install could be … fun… But I accepted the circuit earlier when I could loop it, so maybe at least now I can fire up ebond and open up my first ever DS1 TT. yay.

Work is still awesome though. I bitch about my job but I'd never take a moment of it back.

In exchange for hearing me rant, I give you a picture of my niece reading a book. It's cute and will make you smile.

Blinging out

It's a christmas tree ornament, but it looks funny. I've got T bling now.

Dearest ,

Eight years ago today you stole my ring, my heart, and my hat.

I got a new hat, and 4 months ago, I gave you your own ring. I never did get my heart back but that's okay.

Love,
Paul

This has been one of the most productive weekends I've had to date. I've:
* Got a case for the new server, and cased up my machine in it. It has proper ventilation, a properly rated power supply, and everything. It's nuts!!!! It's also 19" rack mount with rails. I hope the new colo has back rails, because the current one does not and I really don't want to buy a shelf for this thing.
* Replaced my front brakes. My car stops properly now!
* Got my oil changed
* Put gas in my car (I've been running on E all week)
* Shopped for groceries
* Picked up some crap for work at Microcenter
* Dropped off a customer's router at the agent's house so we can turn up the circuit on time
* Watched a movie off my netflix so I could get my queue doing something other than being stagnant
* Set up a proper streaming server so I can listen to my sirius radio anywhere I want again
* Installed an OS and configured some machines for work
* Added additional capacity to our primary voip server at work
* Caught up on my sleep, which has been neglected heavily as of late.

All in all, it's been a pretty awesome weekend. And it's not yet over.

I just came up with a new word you are mandated to use when in polite company and describing phone sex or cybersex. "Telecoitus". You can use it in reference to an act in progress, like "Telecoital", etc.
