random ramblings of a crazed nerd

Ah yes… the end is near…

Something like 4 1/2 hours to go…. not that I’m counting (While the world waits for Lepoard run down, I really want Liger!)

http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/829.html <- Go now.

Well this morning started off with a ring, a few rings in fact,  first was one of a server down, a server that has had no issues - it was rebooted from the console so it means a human at the datacenter rebooted it - so after some investigating as to why it was rebooted, it appeared to be a accident, several apologies later, I had pushed a clean reboot, brought the server back up and online to live mode.

Next followed a call from my bro that one of the servers at the office had been down since Friday, its a finicky one - one time we think it’s hardware, another time its software, but no real clues either way so were starting by getting rid of the 64bit Windows, and going to a standard 32bit for now - which does mean a fun-filled night soon, then if it continues to freak, it means buying some new hardware to replace the failing box, but all tests show the memory and drive as fine, so it could simply be a bad motherboard.

This wold of all be fine if I hadn’t finally gotten to sleep at like 9:30am, sometimes I miss sleep! But got to think out some things last night, also got to have some interesting dreams tonight, it was one of those dreams where someone you know not to act a certain way was the oppisite - in this case it wasn’t really truth in appearances, it was the sterotype of one person’s view of this guy (which is different from how he has always treated me, but then again, I’m always a guest in his house - so maybe he’s just being polite) - anywhoo, in the dream he was super nice, we talked, we joked, it was cool - granted it had a lot to do with some of my thoughts through the morning, but apparently my brain was still thinking about it -  ah what a strange brain I have.

So I am looking for something to do here to unwind a little, tired some, but yet, just really want to wear out and crash tonight - considering doing some more work on zagnu.com in getting it all cleared up - just want to find a nice template for the junkies for their new board’s home, maybe I’ll browse template sites… that could be fun right? LoL Time will tell. Night gang.

Well things are progressing well, need to find my USB cables for the CF/SD card reader, so I can get my e-500 photos & A510 photos in quicker, I am currently uploading using the Flickr Uploader - which I missed, just the iBook was running out of space and the E-500 default shots average 5MB and 11+ for the digital negatives, but for now it’s working.

Must say though I really do enjoy Frontrow, really it’s cheezy, but it is nice, I do want to intergrate a TV tuner on this so I can get some love from the large screen and use it as a TV as well, granted a 20inch TV is small in some regards, but larger than nothing! So very happy - I have been having fun with Photobooth… Brace yourself:

Yeah - I’m definately having fun, some early AM work starts in about an hour though, have to start writing a email or two, as my weekend is offically over, but at this rate too my body will be ready to crash in about an hour, so emails may wait till the morning - but it’s going good - if you want to see some random photos taken today here are two sets to view, one outdoors, and one unpacking the iMac - enjoy em! Night!

Well tonight is the night, I am not going to stop till every ounce of this tax refund check is done! The night goes on as long as this check funds things - so mighty tax refund check of $7.00 - party on!
