Apparently, Sci-Fi has decided to change their name and adopt the new moniker “SyFy” – stating that they’d like to get away from the “geeky nerd in the basement of his parent’s house eating Cheetos and drinking Mountain Dew while updating their apt repositories and setting up mirrors of their favorite Buffy web site and…
Decked Out for St. Patty’s
Here’s what I wore today for St. Patrick’s Day: I would have worn the necklaces and other garb, but this was a little neater and cleaner for work. I was already sort of pushing it by wearing the “show me your shamrocks” t-shirt. I like the “Eat, Drink, and be Irish” button though. Tonight after…

These things are great because you don’t have to hook them up to a computer (they’re really just small computer servers with huge hard drives). Also, you can make user…
Ow. It Hurts to be Awake Right Now.
I think maybe I should have gotten more sleep last night. Today was kind of rough. I got up early to take my roommate to the mechanic for his car troubles. Then we went to the bank and then I got into work. I don’t think there is enough caffiene. Got to work, settled in,…
