After putting in 57 hours of work last week, today I only added eight more. Everything went smoothly and faster than expected.
No, really, that’s all I have to say. That, and I’m ever so glad I go on vacation Thursday…

Rude Food, Dude
Via… a series of links I can’t even recall now, I bring you naughty food.
While you’re there, check out some of the other amusing portions of the site, especially the pranks…

Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty
PAST: Even the poorest of us had a few toys, growing up. Which was your favorite?
PRESENT: Constructive playtime is still a valuable thing for us adult-like personages. What do you play with when you need to cheer up?
FUTURE: Setting aside, as we tend often to do here, the established laws of physics, probability, supply-and-demand and common sense… if you could create a fantastical toy, what would it be like? (This can be for children and/or adults, in case you’re wondering.)
Leave a comment with your answers or a link thereto; if you link back here (and we hope you do!) please use the following, which will always point to the latest PPF:

Loss, two years past.
Two years ago on this date my paternal grandmother, Hjordis Kerezman, passed away. She was a smart, caring, capable woman who survived her husband by two decades… primarily by getting out of New York, I suspect. She never knew what happened that morning in her former city of residence, and I count that as a blessing.
While the rest of America remembers events of greater import, I’ll be over here remembering what a neat lady my Grandma Hjordis was. I leave it to better minds than mine to decide if that makes me unpatriotic or what…

GreyDuck’s Anime Site
After more than a year of inactivity, a few days of agonizing and a couple more days of tinkering… my newest web project is alive and kicking.
Allow me to present… GreyDuck’s Anime Site. (If you have a better name suggestion, I’m all ears.) For the time being it’ll be mostly reviews and opinions, but eventually I’ll be posting such tidbits as my AMVs and any anime-related desktop wallpapers I may come up with. (You can find my Washuu wallpaper on my DeviantArt page, by the way.)
In other words, it’s just another geeky anime fanboy page. Enjoy, if you’re into that sort of thing.

The Week Of The AS/400
I worked something resembling a normal day yesterday… 9 to 5, ya know. Today is different.
I arrived at 10:00am for a meeting (yes, I slept in, what’s your point?) and then put out small fires while waiting for the start of this evening’s AS/400 project: Upgrading hardware.
You see, there are four hard drives. They’re not large enough. So we ordered bigger ones. The trick to upgrading ’em is to move all the data off of one, replace it with a larger one, then move as much data as possible onto that new one. Then you repeat with another drive, and so on, and so on.
It’s 8:00pm as I write this. I don’t know how much longer this will take, since it could finish quickly or slowly depending on how quickly the machine can migrate data, and on whether any unforeseen difficulties arise. Even if all goes well I don’t expect to leave here until at least 10:00pm.
Here’s the kicker: I was at 33 working hours when I left yesterday. I’m now at 43 hours and counting, with an unfinished night’s project still to supervise and two more working days left in my week. Nevermind that I’m working another long shift this coming Sunday to match the one I pulled three days ago this past Sunday.
I need a rest. Among other things.
