The webcam to the right is not real time.
I’ll just update it as my ego desires.

So I’m an egoist.
Monday, February 27th, 2006Globalisation.
Saturday, February 25th, 2006With the US and Canada being both knocked out of olympic medal contention, I’m struck with an odd sense of deja vu. This just happened in another major sport that North America is supposed to dominate a few years back, basketball.
I think it’s a good thing for there to be more competition in international sporting events, it keeps things interesting. It just goes to show you how much the rest of the world is catching up in various ways.
People don’t need to worry about security.
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006Even though we just spent the better part of 5 years getting whipped up into an orgasmic paranoid frenzy, we don’t need to worry about outsourcing our security.
I find this hard to believe.
Why is this deal being fast-tracked?
Why is W threatening to use the first veto of his tenure to defeat any measure meant to scrutinise this deal?
So I have ads now.
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006They should be unobtrusive and unannoying.
Domestic violence
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006This isn’t about what you think. I might have written about this before, if so, oops.
According to various sources within the government, the most dangerous domestic terror organisations are the vegans and the environmentalists.
Who have never killed anyone.
Not the abortion protestors, who have killed people.
This has absolutely nothing to do with politics I’m sure.

I got contacts!
Friday, February 17th, 2006I got contact lenses today, I’ve never worn them before, and I was just sick of glasses.
I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner.
MythTV
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006It’s an effing nightmare.
I wouldn’t even bother with anything other than Knoppmyth anymore.
I think I have it working.
I’ll write up something of a tutorial later today.

YAY
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006I’m back.
I went https.
Try it out.
Just throw an “s” after http in the address bar.
Although clicking a link sends you to a regular page.
I think it’s an all or nothing deal with wordpress.
Sometimes…

The Bellsouth Story
Friday, February 10th, 2006So I’m in Charleston, moving our offices down here, getting the T-1 hookup and all that.
It’s installed 1-31 supposed to be turned up 2-2.
I call on the second just to ensure this.
No record.
The person I was working with left the company and their backup is on leave.
.....
Needless to say, the T-1 is only half installed, they finish it up.
More bad news.
Their routing is FUBAR, ETR COB Monday.
......
To be fair, once the provisioning engineer figured out that the original person we worked with basically screwed us, she was more than helpful, even though it’s not her department.
I’ll buy her some flowers.

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006I’m so ronery.
Friday, February 3rd, 2006I’m stuck in Charleston, SC through Monday.
