I’m in the midst of switching web hosts, so if this site disappears completely for a few days, don’t worry, I’ll be back.

network-enabled gremlins [updated]

As I was contemplating decluttering my overly web-enabled mind, I decided that my actual digital existence, aka all the photos, music, files, etc. that live on my iMac and my external drives needed some reorganizing and maintenance. Unrelated to my computer process that has gone quite swimmingly, I’ve been attempting to re-watch the fifth season [...]

Bleak

I got my new backup drive yesterday and after it thawed out for a few hours, I hooked it up, eager to copy all my precious data off my old, ill drive. Unfortunately, the old ill drive is now in critical condition and won’t mount on my desktop and share its data. I ran a [...]

This is ridiculous

Its nearly lunchtime and I’ve been at work since 8am and have accomplished nothing at all related to work. My computer. Still hosed. I can get on this shared PC but it doesn’t have any of the software that I need to access any of the servers I work on and I don’t have admin [...]

Prison Break Lessons

Prison Break is back on FOX this week. I’m really liking this show. Good escapism until 24 returns in January. It felt like I was in prison this afternoon at work. Our network ended up with some stupid virus that cause all the Windows machines to shut themselves down and restart every few minutes. We [...]
