I wrote about our new set of wheels a few posts back. It’s my little bride’s car1; I’d have chosen something different for me, but she seems tickled, and that’s all right. I have no complaints about price, terms, or payments. And it is a fine looking rig.
Today at work, I got [...]
The stinking on-call pager weighs only 3 ounces or so. Why do I feel 100 pounds lighter when I get shed of it?

I’ll be at work then, handing off the stinking on-call pager to the next sad sack sysadmin professional in the barrel rotation.
I think our work group is overstaffed by a huge margin; the silver lining is that there are more candidates for the stinking on-call pager, which limits my exposure.
That’s a Good ThingTM.

The nation’s first sports journalist, Jim McKay, has passed away at age 86. I grew up watching Wide World of Sports on teevee; I have seen countless Olympic Games.

I’ve not posted the results of an online quiz in quite a while. I like this one very much.
Still waiting to take this one, which remains to this day the funniest thing I’ve ever encountered on the internets.

I’ve done something about getting involved in the Fedora Project. Step one was to create an account, and sign the legalese otherwise known as the Contributor License Agreement(CLA).
I’ve also registered a nick with IRC, generated all the ssh and gpg keys necessary, and uploaded them to my Fedora account.
Now, there’s tons of reading to do, [...]
Tomorrow, the running of the Belmont Stakes, the third jewel of the Triple Crown. Having been an admirer, if not a good judge of horseflesh for a long time, I’ll just say Go Big Brown. Even if $2.00 gets me $2.10 for the win.
It’s been a long time since we’ve had a Triple [...]
