Anyone want to do something for my birthday?
It seems that atomic_umber and I will be in NM in October, the 13th through 17th. We're planning to do a birthday dinner or something for me on the 15th (Friday) in Albuquerque. If you're interested, let me know! I have no idea where or what yet, though it'll be partially dependent on how many people there are. Buca di Beppo is a possibility, I guess ( Read more... ) -
This guy is, sort of, my hero
"I wanted to see how much my computer programming skills had improved since the last time I was arrested."
The story isn't actually that awesome. However, that quote? IN HIS STATEMENT TO THE POLICE. Good luck man.

Wherein I leave for Las Vegas during the hottest week of the year

I'll have to buy a cubicle wall to put this up on
I'm not normally the type to have comics up in my officeopen-floor-plan-desk-space. I like a good Dilbert as much as the next guy, but, I don't know. It feels a little too "someone has a case of the Mooondays!" or something.

Thanks, Clear
So, a coworker signed up for this newfangled Clear WiMax service that I've been talking about, and loaned me his spare USB dongle so I could give it a test. Initial impression?
( images, lots of them ) -
Well, I got it
Evidently I passed my CCNA test today. Not too sure how that happened. I guess well?
Unofficial score of ~920/1000 (passing score is 840).
To celebrate, a Cisco router at work made my head explode today. How? Like this.
Well, with more routing and less, you know... scanning. -

This is going to be long, I expect. The book in question is CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide, by Todd Lammle, 6th edition, Sybex.

SWA in-flight wifi
So, I'm flying from NM to IL as I type this, using the Southwest onboard wifi. It cost $10.
First of all, a couple of links: the flyer, and a speed test. Latency is a bitch ( Read more... )
