I never knew this, but shipping items via UPS immediately after a long holiday weekend can be a pricey proposition. I just got back from Office Depot, where I returned an item to QVC1; a set of wind chimes to be precise. I think we paid around $20 for them; when they arrived, [...]

We’re still at WP 2.2.2 here. The admin page was all I could see post-upgrade. My script did its job, near as I can tell.

I absolutely detest having the stinking on-call pager. This was my week in the barrel; it’s been reasonably quiet, but it’s always unsettling; I don’t sleep as well as normal, I have to have the company-issued POS Winders laptop handy, and generally the problems that arise involve failed backups, about which I am blissfully and [...]

Technorati: NASCAR DirecTV HotPass
I recently changed filling stations, from an Exxon, with an On the Run convenience store, to a new Sunoco station, featuring an APlus convenience store. Both are about equidistant off the parkway I take to work, and both offer easy access back to the parkway.
The difference between them has nothing to do with the [...]
The car/driver/channel matchups for today’s running of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 from Infineon Raceway in Sonoma CA look like this:
#2-Kurt Busch, 795
#60-Boris Said, 796
#20-Tony Stewart, 797
#7-Robby Gordon, 798
#42-Juan Pablo Montoya, 799
Since this race is on a road course, it’s fitting that Boris Said and Robby Gordon are in the driver lineup. They can both [...]
My work outfit is basic, and fairly constant from day-to-day. Black chinos, black polo shirt (sometimes with vendor graphics), white socks, black shoes. 1 Shirts and chinos from Land’s End, skivvies and socks from Target, and shoes from Zappo’s.
I went out for a breath of air smoke this morning, and looking at my feet, [...]
Not even an Arkansas Sabbatical will deter me from posting the HotPass Lineup for tonight’s running of Crown Royal Presents The Jim Stewart 400 from Richmond International Raceway. This race also has the distinction of winning the Faulkernesque Naming Award for the first half of the season.
#31-Jeff Burton, 795
#24-Jeff Gordon, 796 (fan choice)
#11-Denny [...]

The Maryland state legislature continues to distinguish itself with inane legislative proposals. This time, the law in question would ban display of fake male genitalia from the bumper hitches of SUVs, pickups, and cars. Yep, says so right here:
Maryland Del. LeRoy E. Myers Jr. to truckers: If you’ve got ‘em, you don’t need to flaunt [...]

OK, the POD is empty and swept out. We rescheduled its pickup for Tuesday. SWMBO and I are awash now in a sea of boxes. As much work as moving to someplace we’d like to live, except we’re still in Northern Virginia.
I can’t say enough good things about PODS. Their customer [...]
