Not too much to report. I had another 1000km tank, my lifetime average is now just shy of 46mpg and I'm wanting to get some lettering on the back of my golf making fun of all the dipshits driving Hummers.

Outside of that, the boss man said something about maybe having an early day today, tying up loose ends and getting the hell out of...

Well, I had my first 1000km tank.

How's everyone elses' week going?

So yeah... my dream last night... I went to have my car dyno'd, results on the sheet were exactly as if I had just got it chipped... and for some reason my dad was there acting like a beligerant asshole and was trying to tell the people there how to run their dyno safely.

Things we can learn from this:

1) Reading the tdiclub.com forums...

Rock.
tank is back in the rack with apoc, and they've been joined by dozer, my new xen box.

I've got most of my shit rebuilt, transfering my email back to the proper mail server. Things are playing nice and I'm breathing easy again.

Now once the dust settles... maybe I can make some money of all this.

So I've been back for a week and frankly, this place is teh suck. Though there is the part where I have my loving girlfriend here, as well as a couple of employers that seem to appreciate having me around. That's got to count for something, eh?

I'm going to see the UAMC perform tonight at the Winspear, it should be a good time. Then...

Well everyone, I've got today to contend with, but the week has been like nothing I expected.

Not necisarily worse.... just a lot of unplanned shit. Yesterday was a write off, so I get to make up for that today, then I'm getting the hell out of here.

Spending the holy day in Victoria, I'll catch you all on the flipside.

Alright week... you won't like me, and I wont' like you. But I don't care. We've got shit that needs to be done, and we've only got 4 days till the holy day. We got a lot done yesterday, and that was pretty cool. But we've still got a long road ahead.

Suck it the hell up and save the suck for next week!

The machines are winning

So first thing this morning I can't hit the mail server for work. Not a good way to start the day. Dead PSU.

I was staging a new hard drive for that machine anyways, but I was hoping to have some more time to test things.

Long story short, the machine is up and running, that new drive/OS is in there,...

So I dumped my oddly large number of free hours this evening into Katamari Damacy and FF7.

I could've spent the time fighting with the server virtualisation I'm attempting on the server I'm re-installing.

I could've spent it reading more into 2k3, or checking on this for work, or continuing to catalogue my pile of hardware, or fixing MythTV or any number of other things....

So uh... update? Hmmm... I have tasty bread and I'm cleaning my room.

I just explained to my brother how to use a click track when recording and I'm now out of bread. Room is still messy though.

I have too many computers here. But I don't know what to do with all these parts. I'm such a fucking pack rat. Maybe I need more...
