Sick at home with a head cold.

So far I have 4 vacations plotted out for this year:

L.A. in March
L.A. in May (E3)
Vancouver, B.C. in July (Large LAN party)
Vegas in August (Defcon XI)

A transformer attached to the power lines at work blew a fuse at some point yesterday, taking down my network and webserver. The backup systems powered down the fileserver and other machines shortly thereafter, to conserve power for the phone system...yet when the power came back up, the machines didn't turn back on. Now I get to go in and assess damage, and hope that...

7am after Stewd's bday party, time to pass out.... *YAWN!!!*

I had fun, hope everyone made it where they were going safely!

Word.

Went to a rad bday house party last night for a buddy of mine. I was the first to show up at 7:30pm (sometimes typical of me, if I know the person throwing the party), with a liter bottle of the Captain. I was also the last to leave (driving 2 people home so they could finally pass out), at 6am. Gotta make sure...

The time has come. It's been 2 years that I've led the Dream to Kill Counter-Strike team... 1.5 years that I've funded our server(s). $1600+ later, tons of memories, lots of good times, some bad ones, some really annoying fucking kids, and plenty of real life visits...and I'm done funding the server. I'm not sure entirely what this means for the team, since we are...

In the sanctuary
Of private rhetoricy
When a bustling crowd intrudes
Where rival ship meets no incentive
To impale its reckless course
[1234]
Where all is lulled
To peace and quiet
Is of all places
The most appropriate
To illuminate
The sparkling fires of love
And receive in turn the electro-darts
Of sweet devotion.
Doo doo dee dah dee doo doo
Sparkling fires
Electro-darts

I'm not sure why I had problems the last time I attempted it...but I've finally upgraded both Apache and PHP on my work box. No problems with the PHP this time...so now I'm at Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.3.0 on win2k. The Apache upgrade is probably the most significant...I've been running off the 1.3.x track, so to bump it up to the 2.0.x track...

*Yawn*

Rocco's was fun, seeing people dance in some garage in NE portland was interesting, the mexican food was tasty...good times.

G'night.

w00t w00t! The winter term at PSU is underway, and I have people that I know in all of my classes; my friend Jessica is in two of the classes. Plus, she shares a break between classes with me on Tues/Thurs, during which I eat a snack, and she rants about her boyfriend, former job, or anything else going on in her life. I don't...

The last day of winter break...

All the kids are at home doing whatever it is they do the day before school starts again...

But where, oh where, is the district's IT Manager???

Why, at work, of course!! Rearranging the computer lab, fastening down cables so high school kids don't trip over them and bring monitors crashing to the ground, and whatnot. Oh, and while...

Fischerspooner - Sweetness

I love energy songs, something with a good beat, where the feeling of it just motivates me to get shit taken care of.

I've been away from work for a week and a half...it's time to get back to it. Tomorrow, at least. I think I'll work through the weekend. I have to re-do the layout of a computer lab at work;...

Ugh.

Missed Genesis' bday party....couldn't catch a cab from Dante's, and then we thought Ah-So closed at 2 or 2:30 for some weird reason, so we stopped in at another bar and drank till 2:30. Then came the bright idea of calling Ah-So to check when they close...4am. Damnit. So we walked over to it, but the party kids had already left. We did get...
