Oh, and Caligula loves paper bags
Viruses, and how AOL did a good thing
I was watching TV the other night, and a commercial for AOL came on. Like any self-respecting geek I have no love for AOL, but what did interest me was their new offer, free anti-virus software. I went to their site, and it’s not just a cheesy anti-virus scanner that they created, they’re actually giving […]
Orbach, books, and computers
We got into the car yesterday afternoon to go to our friends house, turned on NPR and got going. We happened to turn it on in the middle of this report “‘Law and Order’ Star Jerry Orbach Dies”. Because it was the middle of the report, we didn’t realize what the point of it was, […]
2004, Caligula is so pretty, and plans for today
I feel as thought the quality of my blog has gone down. I don’t have as much time for it as I used to, so when I sit down my thoughts tend to pour out in a jumbled mess. This jumbled mess isn’t helping my writing skills any. I think I am going to try […]
Fix0ring Gentoo
Over the Christmas holiday weekend I spent some time eating fish, snuggling by the fire, reading, and fighting with gentoo unstable. Apparently Gentoo Unstable is normally fine to use, but over the past couple weeks I’ve encountered a few problems that were making me crazy. I considered reinstalling to get back to stable. I even […]
Feeling lousy and PDA shopping.
I haven’t been feeling very “me” lately. It’s probably because this month has just been lousy. When things get lousy I get lazy and eat food that’s bad for me, I stop doing things I enjoy and end up sleeping and watching TV. Although these things feel right at the time, they end up just […]
My nose won’t stop running, I keep getting sinus headaches, I’m coughing my lungs out, everything aches. Goddammit I have a cold again! Even worse, this week is a crazy busy week at work because of the holiday, more calls to make, less time to make them. Oh and if I call in sick to […]
Office party, cookies, and getting prints of digital pictures.
Last night’s dinner at La Famiglia Ristorante was great. I wasn’t so sure how it’d be, because I have only casually met a couple people from that office, and I’m horrible shy with people I don’t know. We got there a few minutes early, only one other guy was there. Soon enough more people arrived, […]
What do you mean I need to dress formally?
Tonight we’re going to a company dinner provided by a company Michael does work for. The dinner is being hosted at La Famiglia Ristorante in Philadelphia, and we need to dress formally. Dress formally? Egads, I haven’t done that in years! So I looked in my closet. Being more geek and girly, I don’t have […]
Gossip, bad music and a surreal spam book
Working in an office with a bunch of women is an interesting experience. In the past it’s either been retail work, which had plenty of women, or an office populated by men (when I was doing web development work). So when I first got this job I wasn’t sure what to expect. Sure I had […]
