In which this site is moving. There’s a server co-located in a data center somewhere in California, and it’s been acting weird. Every bit of hardware in it has been replaced except for the hard drive itself, and it still hangs and needs to be rebooted at least once a day. That server is the […]
In which I gig and consume media. Friday night I waited for nearly an hour for my bro to finish an instance in WoW, then we went to Rosita’s for dinner. Mmm, chile rellenos! I went to bed early Friday night because I was tired from going out Wednesday and Thursday. Saturday I woke up […]
In which the sci-fi I’m reading totally fucking sucks, but I was lying in bed trying to watch a vid the other day and got irritated with the fact that I had to have my head upright in order to feel comfortable. Being a creature from the bottom of a gravity well means that in […]
