geekGuilt

I feel guilty. I just unsubscribed from the YellowDog Linux Listserv. I know! What’s wrong with me? The group is extremely active, helpful and all around cool. I just don’t use YellowDog anymore, and haven’t for quite a while. They’re a great group for general linux tips and will even help (without flaming) when folks […]

The Ethics Of Blogging

I don’t talk about a lot of things on this site. I’m sure that if I did talk about some of this stuff, I would be a much more popular blogger. I self-censor constantly. I’ve only ever written something unpleasant about someone at work once where that person might be able to recognize themselves (and […]

Ummm, So If They’re There, Why Aren’t We Here?

According to this article from CNN, Al Qaeda says they’re “in partnership with Iraq”, at least according to the State Department, in a new statement from the elusive Osama. Didn’t Osama say the same thing about the Palestinians? So, if Al Qaeda is in “partnership” with Iraq AND the PLO, why aren’t we threatening the […]

The Conspiracy Theorists

It feels really good to be back at work. I’m doin’ stuff, writing code, etc. Three more days before I can show you all the big giant thing I’ve been working on for the past several months. I told you before that I’ve been watching this show on Trio called The Secret Rulers of the […]

Visual Proof Of Healing

And this is MUCH better than it was even yesterday. I meant to take a picture Thursday when both eyes were bright red (no, I mean it, like stoplight red), but I felt too bad to bother getting the camera. Now, you can see at least some of it. The left eye’s a little better […]

Daredevil In A Blue Dress

I’m a little better. My eyes are a lighter shade of pink and I don’t feel like death warmed over. I feel a little more like death over ice. I saw the band sausages idea over at A Small Victory, and remembered that my friends and I used to do this at lunch in high […]

Ooooh, Someone’s In Trouble

No Other Funny Pink Eye Jokes

292.5 – Yeah, the diet’s on even though I’m sick and want to claw my eyes out with gardening tools. I’m watching John Ashcroft’s press conference about the raised thread level, and well, I’m not sure why, but I’m not terribly worried about going to ‘orange’. Daytime TV sucks. It’s just plain horrible. TiVo is […]

Argh! It’s The Infamous Pink Eye!

It’s even worse today. It took 5 minutes to get my eyes open this morning, and they sting like crazy. Visine helps a little, but not enough for me to stop squinting like a mole. Needless to say, I’m home again so I don’t infect anyone else. What 27 year-old gets pink eye in BOTH […]

Givin’ Me The Sti… Pink Eye

I’m at home. Why? I’m the monkey from Outbreak. I’m extremely contagious with conjunctivitis. You got it. I have the dreaded Pink Eye. On top of my itchy painful eyes, I have a sinus infection! My doctor said not to go back to work until it’s cleared up, which means I could be here the […]
