Sunday a.m. meditation

by Rob Friesel

Always wait until you’re about to turn the page in to Spring to make you New Year Resolutions…: toughen up (being nice and supportive is great and all but sometimes threats are the only medicine) re-learn all that MySQL stuff like I said I was going to bite the bullet and learn a little Java […]

13 Moons

by Rob Friesel

Alexandre Rockwell’s 13 Moons pretty much comes out of nowhere as an absurd freak-show comedy that’s ever so slightly ambiguous in its ethics — which is probably its strongest point. This one scores high in the “WTF?” department, with fortunately low scores in the cliche area; kinda runs out of steam at the end but […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

by Rob Friesel

Management states in advance that it separates the cultural and religious heritage from the implicit expression above. Frankly, at this time, we really only care about the beer. Update on yesterday’s downtime — drive failure at the server farm. No catastrophic losses for founddrama other than downtime. Annoyance factor — high. Devestation factor — low. […]

downtime.

by Rob Friesel

FuitadNet crapped out and lost the server aliases for my sub-domains today. More/less translated directly into downtime for the better part of the day. Had to recreate one of those sub-domains after the others came back online, too. Ugh. Plus the SMTP server seems to have flaked out as well. At least I’m ~~receiving~~ messages. […]

/sigh Fighting w/ CSS. This wiki thing is working out great (certain … uh … politics aside) except for how it seems to only play nice in Firefox. Haven’t checked Mozilla but I’m sure it’s fine in there. The IE and Safari caveats are driving me fucking bananas though. Wrestling w/ stylesheets written by other […]

like adding cornstarch

Poor Detonator-3, you’ve just never been the same… In this on-going saga, the plot thickened recently as this poor box continues to choke on Firewire. It seems to do OK if a device is attached briefly (maybe 5-10 minutes) but anything beyond that and the whole OS just staaaaaaaaaalls… And eventually either crashes altogether or […]

dream.20050312: grand theft oil

by Rob Friesel

I was with like 4 or 5 other people that in the dream I knew really well but upon waking realize are just “dream folk” that don’t tie in w/ anyone from reality. The initial setting is pretty unimpressive despite the fact that you can tell there’s a great deal of urgency all around. Very […]
