| Jan. 29th, 2010 @ 04:39 pm Good article! | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olym While I don't really like the fact that the Olympics are here, and consider them a major inconvenience...if we're going to do this, we may as well kick everybody's ass while we're at it. Very good article. Considering it's an American publication, I'd say it's exceptional in the fairness of presentation and accuracy of research. Canadians really do hold the opinions and sentiments mentioned. |

| Jan. 28th, 2010 @ 12:04 pm Disquiet | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| I'm feeling vaguely disquieted today. I was in an OK mood until I had breakfast. Then I got slightly unsettled by various travel preparations being made by Trapa and Loial. Why, I don't know. Possibly just that I didn't know anything about them. Then I got to the bus stop and got MAJORLY pissed off at some guy who was pacing up and down and weaving from side to side, frequently obstructing my view of the street as I was attempting to scan for the bus. Silly little thing to get pissed at, but even when I moved so he wouldn't get in my way, he would alter course and get in my way again! FIVE TIMES I moved, and he wouldn't stop getting in my way! Then some douche decided to stand in the bus corridor with his backpack on so nobody could get by him. Here I am, watching everybody trying to cram on the front end of the bus, with no room, while this dolt stands there, blocking everybody from getting to the back of the bus where nobody was standing. Aggravating! The rest of the day has really been more of the same, with lots of irritating phone calls and very little running smoothly. User accounts have been randomly disappearing from our systems, emails are slow to come in, we can't dial out, and machines just flat-out refuse to work. Now, I fully realize that once I get frustrated, everything else seems to collapse around me and just keep stoking the fire until I completely lose my temper. So I'm trying to use this knowledge to short-circuit the process and prevent it from building to that degree. But seriously, this is starting to get to me. I want to go home, and I want to sit by myself in peace for a while. |

| Jan. 26th, 2010 @ 08:52 pm When the ISP closes a door... | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| ...you go out the window instead. So! We now have a wireless link extending from the 18th floor (us) to the 3rd floor (Orka and selkit). Upon reaching our kitchen window, it moves into the kitchen switch, through Trapa's rack, to the main wiring closet, and into our router. I've configured the router to re-route and re-NAT our Internet access into the downstairs network, and the only pity is that I can't have it failover automatically. (The re-routing would work if the DSL line went down, but not if there was a PPP problem, like right now. The re-NATting wouldn't work automatically at all.)What does this mean to you, faithful reader? I have Internet again...sort of. Those of you with websites or accounts on my system will be saddened to notice that this re-routing leaves my servers unreachable from their normal DNS names or IP addresses. (Your website is down.) Everything will come back up when our regular Internet is fixed. Conversely, if the downstairs Internet goes offline, they'll be able to use our connection as a backup. This does go both ways. :) |

| Jan. 26th, 2010 @ 03:25 pm Internet troubles | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Internet is down, and has been since 5:40AM this morning. As this also effectively closes my SSH tunnel home, I am going to be largely unavailable until this is resolved. My apologies to everybody. I was looking forward to talking to you, too. |

|---|---|---|---|
| I want to go to FC. :( Also, my shoelace broke today. I must replace it after work. Here's strenuously hoping that friends are online when I get back home. I could use some cuddles. Seriously. |

| Jan. 6th, 2010 @ 12:23 pm General (dis)satisfaction | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Satisfaction: chatting with raptorianone and refueling a lot of creative drive, developing new devices designed for temporary bypass of magical restrictions, going to dinner with a good university friend tomorrow night, being more productive at home in the kitchen Dissatisfaction: experiencing delay on my next special project that I can't do anything about, feeling hungry most of the time (cravings for McDonalds and Fish on Rice are especially strong and generally arrive at least five times a day), feeling so drop-dead tired, not being productive enough at home in the kitchen--or any of the other rooms Overall? Meh, I'm okay. |

| Dad: Our boy is finally starting to grow into the age of romance! Me (under my breath): How little you know me... Dad: Maybe we'll have a daughter-in-law soon! Me (aloud): I wouldn't hold your breath! |
