Well, it’s been a few days since the last post, and I feel like I should write something. But really, there’s not much at all to write about. This past weekend was a whirlwind of a time, and then I got back from Detroit and it was time to go to work again. [...]

Well, it’s been a heck of a week. For a better part of the past 4 days I have harbored an intense hatred for Comcast cable internet. Starting around two weeks ago, we would have spotty slowness around 5-7pm. This wouldn’t happen each day, and even though “everybody’s getting on at this [...]

‘Twas the night before installation
And all through the shop,
Not a program was working
It sure was a flop.
The programmers hung by their tubes in despair,
In the hopes that a miracle soon would be there.
The users were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of inquiries danced in their heads.
When out in the hall [...]

Irony is listening to the morning radio show on the drive to work and pulling into your spot waiting to hear the answer to the question “87% of Americans have trouble doing this in the morning”, waiting and waiting, to find out the answer is “get to work on time”. Whoa.

Tonight, on a whim, I upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress, 2.0, which was released some time ago.
