Tonight I took some good advice dispensed by my good buddy Trent and dusted the inside of my Media Center PC.  I voided the warranty on the power supply, cracked it open, and removed a truly staggering amount of Teddy hair and dust from its internal workings.  With any luck this will solve the random […]

As far as workdays go, today was pretty good.  I got a few small tasks completed in the morning, then had a leisurely meeting with Paul to review some documentation.  It wasn’t much fun leafing through a 27 page document but it had to be done.  After that, I grabbed some Sonic for lunch and […]

Tonight is the second-to-last gig that we’ve got on the schedule for 2010: Crowded House.  I’m not a huge fan (in fact, I only know a song or two) but the tickets were cheap and my buddy Paul wanted to go.  So I’m headed to the Fillmore auditorium for some rockin’ out, New Zealand style!

I’m off to a long weekend!  A few days ago, I installed WP Word Count, which informed me of several things.  First, I have written 567,077 words on this blog since it started in June, 2003.  It provides a view into which posts are the longest, and I found that my longest posts to date […]

Today saw my work issues largely resolved.  I raised my issues to the appropriate level so that more analysis can be done, and if decisions are made that come down and bite us in the butt later I have a paper trail that absolves me from responsibility.  This dramatically improved my workday today, and I […]
