Here it is, one o’clock in the fine, fine morning. I just got home, and am working on the dinner I bought some seven hours ago. Once I crank out this entry and decompress a bit more from the evening’s fun-and-frolic, I’m going right to bed.
I, along with the other two-thirds of the “engineering staff,” put in *mumblemumble* hours today, first doing our normal work and then doing a three-sided server swap on the digital audio system. We took Enco-PDX, the former primary server, and made it the secondary server. Enco-FS1 is the new primary, while poor old Beast is finally retired. (Don’t worry, I’ll find something to do with an 800 GB drive array. Bwahahaha.) We faced a myriad of challenges tonight, including “how to recable the entire Enco networking system without taking any stations off the air.”
We were thorough, we were organized, and we were careful. I know; I’m just as shocked as you are. There’s even a chance I won’t get called on my day off tomorrow… er, today. At least, if I get called it shouldn’t be about anything we worked on tonight. Heh.
During my lunch break (oh, let’s not think about how many hours ago that was) I installed Spam Karma 2 on both this site and the anime site, ’cause I’m tired of “moderating” annoying spam comments that WordPress 1.5’s built-in system can’t quite prevent me from seeing. Oh, and don’t go trying to sell me on that Akismet thing of theirs… anything that has to “phone home” every time someone posts a comment is something I want to avoid. Hell, I eventually gave up using Blogrolling.com because I don’t like being reliant on anyone else’s servers to keep my content running.
Anyway. I need to get some sleep tonight. And clean up the place a bit in the morning. And meet my beloved at the train station on time. And… well, you get the picture…

Seems to be the week for stupid things that cost time and/or money in ridiculous amounts. I hope you & Dawn have a wonderful, relaxing, satisfying (wink, wink) weekend together!!! Gawd knows you both deserve it.
I’ve been doing a bit of tech support myself. Our school is launching a program, which is distributing old Mac 5260s to people who don’t have computers. The computers are REALLY old, but all they need to do is have a word processor and a few old games.
The Advanced Computers class has been working on that. We’re trashing old documents (because there once was a time when they were USED), putting in more memory when needed, installing a few games like Number Munchers (*shudders*), and junk like that.
I haven’t been as hard pressed as you, of course, but I think I can sympathize to a degree.
