  • Oh noes! Guitar Hero is trying to get me!

    So. One of my policies has been “don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it.” I made an exception to this rule and privately knocked Guitar Hero. I want to apologize now for this misdeed. Maybe if I apologize, the ads for it will stop. Oh, please. Also, someone play it with me, so I can…

  • DNS changes

    I’m working on the family’s servers over vacation. I’m moving a bunch of the bandwidth-consuming bits off of the server on the T1. One of the services I’m moving to its own VM is bind9. I figure it should live on its own box that does only DNS-ish stuff. That way I can make sure…

  • spam is getting on my nerves again

    I’m getting too many pieces of spam per diem, so I’ve turned on my “forward to the feds” procmail rule. Enjoy!

  • Would someone just buy one of these?

    I wish they would stop airing this commercial on http://di.fm/. If you buy one, maybe a) the site will run better and b) they’ll stop f*cking bothering me.

  • Morewellian

    A friend of mine and I were talking about working at the evil empire and the politics, culture and happenings that occur there. She said that she felt that has an Orwellian feeling to it. She quickly retorted, saying that it was more than Orwellian. It was Morewellian! I thought this was quite humorous, and…

  • Virtual Reality software

    I, like Jeff B., have been caught up in the wake of Second Life. I haven’t spent a lot of time logged in to their official client, though. I created a user on their web form and verified that it does, in fact, work on my mac laptop. The reason I registered a user was…

  • RIP, lilo

    I just discovered that my friend and mentor, lilo passed away on Saturday, the 16th of September. He was struck by a car while riding his bike. I haven’t quite come to terms with the loss. He meant a lot to many people. I wouldn’t be where I am if it were not for him.…
