Today the following was direct-deposited to my checking account: · Regular bi-monthly paycheck. · Vacation days check (5 days worth) · Fat bonus check. What I don’t like is the several thousand dollars I had to pay to Uncle Sam, but that is all part of being a Responsible Citizen™. I agree with the concept… Continue reading Damn it feels good to be a Gangsta.

Page Files, Partitions, and Fragments
A quick setup: Windows 2000 Server on a Dell PowerEgde 2600 – Xeon 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, ~34GB of Hard Disks, RAIDed. Whoever set it up, decided to put the OS onto an 8GB partition. What the fuck? We’re using 2 out of 8 drive bays! On top of that, why would you dedicate 1/4 of… Continue reading Page Files, Partitions, and Fragments
Sweet Fire & Ice
Last night, I dined with friends at Al Copeland’s Sweet Fire & Ice. The name of the place, coupled with the fact that it is located in Metairie should have tipped me off. Let me get this out of the way first: the food was splendiferous. If you go, get the Santa Fe Eggrolls and… Continue reading Sweet Fire & Ice
Shave and a hair-cut; two bits
I got my hair cut yesterday. And by cut, I really mean two or so inches taken off the bottom. Second trim in 4+ years. I had to. It was the first Haircut and a Shot™ at the R Bar in I don’t know how long. When I actually get a haircut, you can bet… Continue reading Shave and a hair-cut; two bits
If it weren’t for my horse…
What you are about to read is something I copied from fstdt.com, a long-time favorite site of mine and the Spork™. The site is a collection of posts or comment from various Christian “Fundamentalist” sites/blogs/forums/etc. The one I’m about to post took me a couple of times to read. It’s actually a collection of posts… Continue reading If it weren’t for my horse…
The map is not the territory
Whiskey is a bitch. I really wish I had been better in English class, at least when it came to eloquence as opposed to grammar or spelling. I’m sorry, that is all. Throughout this whole thing, I should have acted better, more reasonable. But, as much as I hate to admit it, I am only… Continue reading The map is not the territory
5 Days
My company gives us 5 “Personal Days” and 10 Vacation Days a year. I have taken 0 vacation days so far, and few personal days. This was just brought up to me. Unfortunately, our policy is that if I don’t take my vacation days, I don’t get an extra paycheck or anything. But, due to… Continue reading 5 Days
NOLA Municipal Wi-Fi
So, it’s up. I’m typing this post from inside General Zod™ at the corner of Carondelet and Common Proof (taken by the new camera): The antenna is the light-colored box with two vertical antennas on top of the traffic light pole. Hooray, NOLA.
Ooh! Shiny!
So, good news: My new Digital Camera came in today! Firefox 1.5 was released! NOLA CBD/DDD Free Wi-Fi! Jonah is worried about what kind of fiscal effect this will have on his company, but I think he’s overly concerned. At it’s current speed of 512 kb/s, and the future speed of 144kb/s, there is no… Continue reading Ooh! Shiny!
He catches thieves just like flies
So, there are a few pictures of me as Peter Parker from this past Halloween. Travis however, has me beat, hands down. I tip my hat to the better of two Spideys. And for those of you not on MySpace, here are some more of Travis. I have to cut this post short – I… Continue reading He catches thieves just like flies
