  • Don’t you just love “name generators”?

    Found… well, pretty much all over the place on the so-called “blogosphere”:

    My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Joyous Icepick of Compassion. What’s yours?

    Sure, that works. I guess. (Go ahead and read the Unitarian Jihad thing. It’s rather amusing.)

    Stay tuned later on; there’s a movie review that needs posting. Yep.

  • City of Heroes trading cards…?

    Because the twinlet did it, and because it’s so damned geekily cool, I went and did it too:

    If you have a good mugshot of your favorite City of Heroes character, go play with the Trading Card Generator.

  • Best. Warning label. Ever.

    I’ve probably walked past it hundreds of times since it was hung there, but here’s what I found dangling from the upper rungs of one of the telco racks in the server room:

    As I was resizing the picture on my computer, I remarked to The Buzz’s program director as he passed by my office, “This should be on every piece of equipment ever made.”

    He replied, “That should be on every woman ever made!”

  • Like brother, like sister.

    My sister Christine’s got herself a blog. Okay, technically it’s for herself and her husband, but right now she’s the captain of the ship (to borrow a phrase appropriate to those two wacky Navy kids).

    Go forth, say hi, and pester her if she doesn’t keep up on the posting and stuff. (Hey, what are siblings for?)

    John & Christine

  • Music doesn’t actually taste that good.

    Hey, it beats reading more about my crappy work situation… (For the record? I’m beyond sick and tired of “flat-screen envy.”)

    Your Taste in Music:

    Progressive Rock: Highest Influence
    80’s Alternative: Low Influence
    80’s Pop: Low Influence
    Classic Rock: Low Influence
    Dance: Low Influence

    Thank you, Lisa.

  • Unusual Commuting Day

    It’s not every day that one catches the 8:07 #9 Broadway bus downtown, twice in the same day.

    This odd little musing is brought to you by the crashing of this very webserver, due to my completely failing to learn one particular lesson from the aforementioned “last year’s debacle.”

    That’s right! Not only did I arrive at work at 9am, I also arrived there at 9pm. This time it was to set the webserver to boot with a uniprocessor kernel instead of the SMP kernel, which was the previous default, and which the hardware in question is dangerously unstable on. Ugh.

    While I was there I fixed a few other things, then came home. Again.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to finish my long-delayed dinner and go to sleep. Bah.
