I need to patch up my credit. I don’t think it’s horrible, and I’m not hurting in the $ department, but let’s face it: I’m forgetful. Next month, I am going to follow more the ways of Belen and start being smarter with my finances. That means checking up on myself through and fixing any… Continue reading Monitoring Credit.

Add a protocol to the heap.
So, I signed up for Skype, username revwillcore. I was quite hesitant to even visit the website of a product of Sharman Networks – the creators of that spyware-riddled product, Kazaa. Sonny was really the catalyst in this one. He said it made conferring with other 3d developers much much easier. Especially the ones whose… Continue reading Add a protocol to the heap.
Coming to Terms
I’m sorry. I’d really rather not be writing this letter to you, but I feel it is something that I just have to do. Perhaps I shouldn’t post this on my blog. Perhaps this is something best sent in a letter, or perhaps just not said at all. But that just wouldn’t be right. It… Continue reading Coming to Terms
WMF PSA
Okay, last post today, but this one really is serious. Hopefully by now, you have heard about this very bad WMF Vulnerability. It’s _really_ bad. I’m not going to go into details, don’t worry. Anyways, who knows when this will get patched by Microsoft, so the good guys at the SANS Internet Storm Center have… Continue reading WMF PSA
Looney Tunes.
Wheee! Sleep-dep is fun! Anyways kids, I have kicked asses, and subsequently jotted down the names that belong to said asses. So now, some video clips that I just can’t stop watching. Chances are good that you have seen some or all of them (ad nauseum, perhaps), but come on, they’re great. Watch ’em again.… Continue reading Looney Tunes.
Grrrbiscuits and Praise.
I’m still here at work. I would like to take this moment to praise Spiralcom Communications for two reasons: 1) WinTAR-SCSI – A beautiful piece of software that makes it stupid easy to restore GNU tars from a tape on a Win32 box. 2) Their tech support. I apparently misplaced my serial number. Figuring it… Continue reading Grrrbiscuits and Praise.
Go Figure. PERC Hates Me.
So, in the process of adding a new ~72GB SCSI Drive to my main server here at work, the PERC 4/Di Controller decided to re-initialize my existing array. What does this mean? 1) All work done today is gone. 2) My evening is gone, as I’ll be sitting here in my office working all night,… Continue reading Go Figure. PERC Hates Me.
730 Days and Counting…
Two years ago, I quit smoking. No gum, no patch, no nothing. It’s been hard, but for me, there was no other way. It wouldn’t have felt right otherwise. You know, that whole Principle of the Thing™ thing. And let me tell you, it feels good. Not that whole lung thing, but knowing that I… Continue reading 730 Days and Counting…
Tell ‘Em, Kermit.
Kermit Ruffins has a song called New Orleans is… in which he ticks off a metric assload of things that help make this city what it is. I love this song. It’s a toast to the town. Kermit, I’d like to add another item. Yesterday, Fiorella’s opened back up. I have waited, literally for months… Continue reading Tell ‘Em, Kermit.
Verizon, Bluetooth, and the Treo 650
I’m using my laptop right now, surfing the web through my work cell phone. Since both the Treo 650 and the 12″ PowerBook use Bluetooth, I can connect them quickly, easily, and wirelessly. This is good and all, but I now want to be able to get online at broader-band speeds on my laptop using… Continue reading Verizon, Bluetooth, and the Treo 650
