Ok, for the first time in an age and a half, I’m using a Campus computing cluster machine. It’s kinda freaky.

Server upgrade is all done! Things seem to work, but I’m kinda punchy and may not be thinking straight enough to test everything out.
Took a lot longer than I expected, mostly because I decided to be extra careful and backed up the internal drives from the old server onto an iPod using Carbon Copy Cloner.

A fun entry, totally yanked from MrBarret.com. It’s kind of reminiscent of my own composite 419 scam letter. Normally I’d just link to it but the host site has a combination of font & color that made it tough to read…

So, last night my Wife and I took Dirge and Shar out for a Happy Conbirgrathtudaladaytions Dinner (a combination of Happy Birthday and Congratulations on the new job) last night. There’d been some discussion on heading to Sichuan West, but that didn’t exactly thrill. So we decided to check out an odd little place across town called the Zal Gaz Grotto Club.
