All that work, and I was defeated by the crappy second-hand routers we bought. But I think I figured out what it was. It looks like we’ve got a machine with Code Red somewhere in the routable network, and I didn’t have proxy-arp disabled. Hopefully, the next time we meet, I will no fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, “Hello. "

um, wait a second.

The hardest part about any site on the net is coming up with new content. That’s my biggest problem right now, aside from the boredom.

Anyway, I was reading The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (well, actually it was the third sequel, the one with Fenchurch in it), and I realized/decided that I need something similar, but designed for the handheld-sized computers we have today, instead of for the fictional micro-sub-meson electronic component that was The Guide.

Wow, it’s like I put up a new site every day or two. Anyway, I’ve got a DVD database in the toybox. I’ll probably move it somewhere (more) permanent in a few days. I already put in all the DVDs I could remember owning, and I’ll update it again when I get up this afternoon. Feel free to log in with the guest account (guest1/guest1) and look around.

Oh, and it’s designed to be multi-user, so if you have more than 2 DVDs (and are likely to use something like this), please make an account. When I wake up, I’ll activate it.

I can understand Texans (me included) not knowing how to drive on (in?) ice; I mean, it’s Texas. Limited experience pretty much calls for a lack of knowledge in the subject. But I was just stuck behind some moron going 30 in a 65 zone. That’s just wrong. It’s only rain; once you’re moving, even in a standard, the hardest part is remembering to turn on your wipers.

On the other hand, I managed to work in 9 holes of disc golf down at Pease park before it was raining too hard to see the baskets. So the day balances out (in my mind).

There’s not much to do when you’re working the graveyard shift at Tech Support, so I just spent 15 minutes walking around outside. I do that a lot, just to escape the sterile, filtered-air atmosphere of the office.

Any way, I round the corner of the building, headed towards the street, and there are about 20 crickets climbing on the curb and the wall of the next building. “That’s interesting,” I think. I watch them for 30 seconds or so, but quickly become bored. That’s natural; crickets aren’t really that interesting. I walk a little further, and get to the corner of the next building, and there are a good hundred or two all over the building and the lamppost next to it.

if anyone has good photos of me (preferably in a digital format), please let me know.

OK, so I got REALLY bored tonight, and put up a profile on friendster. I should be pretty easy to find, if you know my name.

Alternately, you can search for my by email address. Here’s the strategy I use when I need an email address for a website:

1. Figure out website’s domain (that’s the easy part).
2. strip off the hostname, leaving only the domain name (e.g., “devlogic.org”).
3. take that domain name, and add “@logic.cx” to the end

and voila! If I ever get spam, I look at what email address it was sent to, and

Put a new site up today here. It’s not going to replace this one, but I encourage everyone who reads the site to go over there, make an account, and post something. It doesn’t matter what. Fiction, non-fiction, a link you thought was neat, or a rant that you’ve been saving up for the jerk who cut you off in traffic the other day. I’m envisioning a “Hitch-Hiker’s Guide”-style site, kinda like Everything2.

How many teaspoons are there in a cubic light year?

On a related note, What is the speed of light in furlongs per fortnight?
