Weekend Baby Shower

This past Saturday, I went to cuddles_cat's baby shower down in Maryland for the afternoon. It was mostly her family, so us guys kinda holed up in one corner and chatted with each other. In attendance from the furry community were nonsanity, roxikat, Kagemushi, Max Goof, and one more gentleman whose name I don't remember but he had a striking resemblence to errorist. I also got to meet Nonsanity's father, who was an UBER GEEK. So he and I immediately hit it off and began chatting about technology for most of the shower.

That was a day trip, so I was back home on Saturday night and had all day Sunday to catch up on some things. The big thing I took care of was taxes. I had enough taken out of my paycheck this year so that I'll be getting some money back from Uncle Sam. I also took care of some issues with daemontools and the tcpserver program where certain kill signals weren't being propagated to the tcpserver program. I was able to fix this taking a similar apporach to getting NRPE to play nice with daemontools.

Other than that, I read some Slashdot and also caught up on my back issues of Readers' Digest.

A beer commercial I'd like to see!

Bud Light Presents...Real Men of Genius.

Today we salute YOU, Mr. Super Wizard Windows Reinstaller.

Only YOU can fully appreciate the difficulty of running a format c: command, while swilling a room temperature can of Red Bull.

"Hey this stuff is hard now!"

While NASA is too preoccupied with things like farway rovers, you take your vocational tech school fueled arrogance directly to the place where it will make the absolute least possible impact: A Slashdot discussion thread.

"Loggin' on now!"

Your unique eye for obviousness allows you to sling turds of obtuseness every which way, and then brag about how you were RIGHT as soon as one of your pronouncements hit true - regardless of how many times you were wrong before.

"See I told you sooooooo!!"

And if some idiot rocket scientist has the unmitigated gall to not bow down to your obvious Geniusdom, you unleash your fury down upon him with all the tenacity and mercilessness of a rabid pit bull with a tender buttock locked in its jaws.

"Total anonymity!"

So keep clicking away, oh Marauder of the Mousepad. Because when the results you so desire finally come about years from now, you can say it was because YOU demanded it."

"How come they haven't fired that dumbass head of NASA yet yet?"
