Tuesday : 23 May 2006
It’s been a good day. With bumps.

The biggest bump was finding out that it looked as though ‘Nine had been hacked. *sigh* Some peoples’ children. So, rather than get bent about it and let ruin my workday, I stayed calm and took it offline. I consulted one of the Windows whiz kids at work; we tossed some ideas back and forth and I decided to lobotomize ‘Nine when I got home. And I did. Along with Defiant and Intrepid, ‘Nine is now running Windows XP. She’s packed (SP2), patched and ready to go.

In other news, and I got an eleventh-hour offer to see X-Men: The Last Stand tonight. (Thanks, !) We went… and it was “sold out” LONG before we got there. So, we had dinner. It was nice to sit and chat with her.

Stray Toasters

  • Four days ’til North Carolina.
  • One of the local channels is airing Magnum, P.I. episodes. I’m a die-hard Spenser fan, but I liked Magnum, too. Tonight’s episode was one of my favorites: “Home From the Sea.”
  • “I was kind of hoping for Hawaii.”
  • uath != utah
  • “Oh, hear that old piano, from down the avenue…”
  • Rest a while at Snowybrook Inn

    Snowybrook Inn is an enchanting fantasy set in a backwoods hostel. When you own an inn in a wondrous fantasy world, who needs to goquesting for adventure?  The adventure will come to you.  After all,those heroes out in the world looking for lost rings, slaying dragons and such, all have to sleep sometime, don’t they?  Sooner or later,they will all come through Snowybrook Inn.

  • I read a piece on The Emissary a few months ago… but I had forgotten about it until I read this. I am intrigued.
  • I know that it’s a stupid song, but something about Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone makes me bop around like a fiend.
  • I need to reinstall CoH and CoV. In theory, if I log into CoH before installing Villains, I should once again have access to the flattop haircut that ‘Bolt used to have. And then, I can reinstall CoV. And I still need to decide what changes I’m going to make to his third costume.
