Best line of the day so far: I was in training this morning, and while we were working on one of the in-class examples, the instructor started whistling. Without thinking I said, “Please don’t whistle while we work.” Ok, written out, it’s not that funny, but it was funny in context.

I updated my linux newbie page to tell you how to start XWindows from the command prompt. Also, if you were planning on installing YellowDog Linux 2.2 on a newer quicksilver G4 – don’t. Let me save you the trouble. There’s a problem with the new kernel and the installer that will totally hose you. […]
It’s never a good idea
It’s never a good idea to eat Tums when you have a cough drop in your mouth. The Tums get all over the drop and make it extremely nasty… just thought I’d share.
Done done and done
I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel of the craziness that is work. I’ve submitted what I was supposed to for QA today. I have one more that has to go tomorrow, but it’s done and ready to go. The thing that was in QA before is out and installed […]
Sorry, Sweetie
I have a new love. It’s not really new, but I just thought I’d spout off a bit about how much I love this part of my life. Linux, I love you. I love you so much in fact that I want to write a sonnet to you. I just moved a bunch of stuff […]
Stupid
I was going to write about this last night, but it would have been overly profane and who needs that on their conscience when I know at least my mother-in-law reads this stuff? The last episode of Once and Again aired last night on ABC. It was depressing and it ended poorly. The last episode […]
Dude, I thought he was going to crap himself
I came up with a great line in a meeting the other day. We were talking about bad news, of which I had dispensed a large amount that day. I decided then and there that I’m going to buy a box of Depends adult diapers and start bringing them to all my meetings. For severe […]
My brother beat me to
My brother beat me to it. He’s writing a children’s book that I’m going to host here as soon as he’s finished. I haven’t even read it yet, but I have seen some of the character paintings and they’re hilarious. I was going to use the ape to replace my spaceman below, but there’s just […]
Listen to the dog, y’all.
Listen to the dog, y’all.
I am numb.
I am numb. I spent too many hours in meetings fighting people, and now just want to go home, read Dr. Suess books to Max, kiss Jen and let my brain and voice recover from all the arguing and chest-thumping. I wish it wasn’t so hard, but sometimes it just is. Best line from today: […]
