Last Saturday, SWMBO and I had the distinct and once-in-a-lifetime pleasure of being in attendance for Dave Slusher’s 40th birthday celebration. Though Dave’s actual birthdate is in August, the celebration was held on Saturday, so that Michelle Malone could come and perform for the revelers.
And what a time we had; there were mounds of food1, [...]
SWMBO and I are safely ensconced back at tbbs World HQ, following the drive from Conway SC back to Northern Virginia. The trip was routine, except for a real “flat rock” rain that happened just north of Richmond. A little time in a nearby Walgreen’s parking lot, along with the munching of a [...]
Last evening, SWMBO, Dave, his wife, James, their mom and her husband, and I had a magnificent meal and a large schooner of some fine micro brew at the Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery, which is in the Broadway at the Beach section (I guess that’s the right term) of Myrtle Beach.
After dinner we walked around [...]

Looks like Larry Mac will be on ch 796, following Smoke’s progress. Good Deal. Larry knows his iron.

Today, the Search for America Tour headed from Raleigh to Myrtle Beach, where I picked up SWMBO at the airport. Our worst fears of her being in alien probe line hell were unfounded. I’d taken her luggage with me when I left for Raleigh, so she was bagless. In addition, she’s riding back [...]
Today is System Administrator’s Appreciation Day. If you can’t provide h(im|er) with donuts or beers, for heaven’s sake, please don’t treat h(im|er) like (s)he just fell off the yam wagon.
For just one day, OK? Damn, we don’t ask much.

The last day of my Red Hat class was today. It was without a doubt one of the best training sessions I’ve ever attended. The instructor was really on top of his game, the class attendees were from a variety of backgrounds, and the interactions amongst the group were a training bonus.
Tonight, I’ve [...]
Downright depressing, isn’t it?

I need to get to class early (around 7am or so) tomorrow. Having put a lab session totally sideways, I need to salvage that. I’ve been assured that if I get there early, I can complete the current lab, then backtrack, and repeat all the lab sessions by 10:30 AM. This is [...]
Paula Zahn is jumping ship being released from her excreble prime-time CNN gig, to land again at Fox News, where I’m sure she will continue to distinguish herself in “broadcast journalism”.
Campbell Brown, currently at NBC will take over Paula’s prime-time slot. I actually liked Campbell Brown.
And the whole story differs little from the A-list blogger [...]
