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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
FRAUD! My new credit card is on the way. Since apparently someone had their way with my last 16-digit mash-up. Some weird charges from Handango showed up on my January statement that I’ve been wrestling with ever since. And then today the bank calls to check in because an “internet transaction” on my card was […]
Scientists estimate that I moved over 2 million pounds of snow over the weekend to dig out the front of my house.
Ever since last July, our basement has been all but useless. It was just never the same after that sewage incident. Which (I suppose) is just as well since we’ve really needed a junky area these past few months to paint things and stack things and store things and just generally have one less room […]
Nice little condensed piece from techsoup.org on setting up an OS X server. Saving for later… *snip!* Another idea I find very appealing: iPod shuffles at libraries for Audible content. Supa cool. On the close to home front: “Dartmouth retools for Wi-Fi video”— Potentially disastrous if not executed properly. If I’m reading this correctly, this […]
A found_drama & dopaminergic tag-team post! What does a proper home bar require? (a.k.a. what’s in the medicine liquor cabinet?) We asked ourselved the question: If one were to stock a mini-bar in their home, what are the required items? brandy gin (preferably Hendrick’s) “clean” vodka (preferably Ketel One) one or more flavored vodka(s) (w/ […]
Via x180, this is perhaps the most fucking brilliant convention wisdom I have heard to date: The end result is that it’s essentially impossible to become successful or well off doing a job that is described and measured by someone else. Indeed. currently playing: Depeche Mode “Dream On”
