Happy Easter!

I hope everyone is having a happy Easter today. Me, I’m having a good day – especially since I’m not leaving for DC until tomorrow. I get a full day more to spend at home with my wife. For such blessings as this I am truly thankful. I hope you, too, are spending some time [...]

Server Downsize: Part II

I have now transfered my second server into a small form factor case. The web server now resides in a cube taking up about one fourth of the space that the old tower did. I must say, I like it. My next move will be to downsize my desktop case into a small box. Then, [...]

A Photo-Memorial For Jason

I have created a special album which contains all of my digital pictures of Jason. There is even a slideshow feature which will let you view the pictures in random order. This Memorial will stay on this server for as long as I own this site. These are pictures of Jason doing some of his [...]

Political Inconsistencies, Part I: Abortion And Environmental Activism

The world we live in is a bizarre, inconsistent place where you seem to never know what to expect. As with life, politics reflects our vacillating minds with flair unrivaled in any other human endeavor. Following are some issues that seem to not fit with political ideology in the parties that support them.
Abortion And Environmental [...]

Unwired In New Jersey

Since my meetings have been canceled today and I don’t have any scheduled for tomorrow, I have managed an early flight home. Right now, I’m sitting in the President’s Club in the Newark airport and taking a bit of a rest.
I didn’t HAVE to come to New Jersey, but the non-stop from DCA to IAH [...]

The Glory Has Departed

[BEGIN RANT]
Some times, it seems that one never gets good news, only news about the slow, steady decline of one’s own situation. Yesterday evening, my employer announced that it was re-instating the stock purchase plan [which ran out of shares earlier this year] but at a much reduced discount of 5% instead of the 15% [...]

Replacement Successful!

I have successfully replaced my “flaky” server with a new barebones system. There was a small outage last night, but you might not have noticed. All is well, now and maybe soon, I’ll replace my other two towers…

Homeless WiFi Consultant

Today, I didn’t have to go into the office, so I worked from the hotel. Work, that is, until check-out time at noon. Then, I had to leave and find another place to work. I didn’t want to go into an office to work, but I though a cafe would be nice. However, all the [...]

Server Downsize

After my “catastrophic failure” of last week and a minor one this week [you may have noticed... or not], I have decided to replace certain parts of one of my servers. These being the case, power supply and mother board. Since the replacement is so wide-ranging, I’ve decided to go small. Yes, that’s right: small. [...]

Wasn't There Long…

Now, I’m back in DC. Stayed home one ENTIRE night! Well, at least I can focus on work better now. Too bad I’ll be lonely.
Now that I am back in the area, even though it was around 70 degrees yesterday, this morning it began blowing snow. It’s not that nice, dry snow either. It was [...]
