Hrm... still listed as Journeyer. *shrug*
Had a nice lunch at the Encore Cafe with Jeremy, Adrian, Chris, and Chris' lovely sisters.
It was fun. I got there late (because I had to drive across
town from my office, while they all walked about two
blocks), had to leave early (see below), and had difficulty
talking while I was there, because the place is so damnably
noisy. Some heavy duty baffeling and noise cancellation
gear would do that place a world of good. I'm told I'm not
allowed to have a crush on Chris' little sis.... some
technical detail about her being half my age.
While at lunch, I got paged about 30 times for alledged DHCP
problems. Turned out to be nothing... just Haiyen
experimenting with a few code changes. I've GOT to get that
girl thinkin' more like a production service admin. When you
have a backup server for testing and experimenting, then you
USE THAT SERVER for that purpose, and leave your primary
alone. *sigh* Sometimes she's so smart... sometimes she just
doesn't think.
Oh well... I expect she will grow out of it... or she will
suffer my
wrath.
Had a good weekend. I did nothing, on purpose. I sat out on
my new front porch, and reread some more of the
Cryptonomicon. I napped intermittantly. I did enough
push-ups to make my chest hurt. Discovered that I have a TV
antenna (I get like 6-7 channels!!). I arranged some of my
crap.
And eventually I forced myself to take a couple more
jeep-loads of stuff from the old place to the new one.
I'm approaching the point where I'm starting to ask serious
questions about what I need to keep, and what I need to
toss. I'm also getting into the areas where it's difficult
to extract my stuff from my soon to be ex roomate's stuff.
*sigh* This
is going to get worse before it gets better.
Got my 'pute moved, and set up, just in time for a big
electrical storm. Everything still works. Need to move my
desk now, and get the home LAN goin' again. Once everything
is running again, maybe I can get to work on all my
personal programming projects.
The bro came over to see the new place, hang out, and watch
a few movies. That was fun. Then we went to a party, which
held lots of promise, but in the end was just lame. Because
I'd been conducting Tequilla Stress Analysis experiments
(turns out that Tequilla doesn't react as well as you'd
think to having lime jello stirred into it... it never
really 'set'.... it just sort of congealed), I
actually let Wes drive Bettie. Good thing too... we saw
about 40 cops on the way home.
[Man I'm a long winded
S.O.B.]
