NASCAR Flu Day

Tomorrow, after the rainout of today’s race. The green flag drops tomorrow at noon. But I’ll have to Tivo it. I need to pick up the stinking on-call pager from the poor sap systems administration professional who currently has the duty, and soldier on. This is the worst part of a SysAdmin’s [...]

Adobe Crumbling

Was Adobe Acrobat Reader ever a stable product? My memory is short, but I seem to recall raving about it in years past. The honeymoon is now over. I was researching coffee makers from the Linux laptop the other day, and Fedora’s document reader wasn’t up to the task of displaying Bunn’s PDFs. [...]

Hot Bunns

SWMBO’s and my aging Melitta coffee maker made its final pot last Friday. Half of its final rendering leaked out onto the kitchen counter, along with a liberal portion of grounds that bubbled up end over the basket. We determined that the pot was unsafe to operate, and was decidedly going to be [...]

Nuts to You

The latest version of the Search for America Tour has wound down; the credit card bills are in and paid, and we’re left with the memories of a good time, and anticipation of where we’ll head next.
Regrettably, we’re also nearing the end of a magnificent 2 pound bag of salted in the shell peanuts that [...]

Friday Nights

SWMBO and I were up far too late last night, or far too early this morning, depending on your point of view. We’re big fans of the TV series 24. We bought DVDs of the early seasons that were aired before we got hooked on the show. Last evening, we watched far [...]
