Friday – 29 June 2007
The week finally draws to an end. Selah.

Today’s been good, aside from the slight… I’m not really sure how to explain it… feeling that I’ve had since waking up. Light-headed? Swimmy? At first, I attributed it to the differences between wearing my glasses, as opposed to my contact lenses – it was the same kind of distortion/perception. But, it didn’t go away when I reinstalled the integrated secondary optical enhancers.

More studying. Today: Networking – specifically, DNS & BIND. I’m going through a book by O’Reilly & Associates. I believe that this is the first time that I have actually read an O’Reilly book. It’s not bad. Not bad at all.

For “lunch” today, I went to Dr. Volt’s. I picked up my four-color shwag… and my Legion Heroclix. Mm-hmm, that’s right!

Stray Toasters

  • I talked with Mom earlier; she’s doing well.
  • I tried out WordPress’ “Import” feature. It’s not bad; it’s a little slower than I had expected, but it works… and that’s the key thing here.
  • The iPhone launched today. Beware first-gen tech. Consider that your only warning.
  • Coworker Dave(SLC) pointed me in the direction of: Chaco. He apparently used to live not far from here.
  • Grand Funkmaster Dis
  • showed us Sexy Back (Kirk/Spock) at Game Night on Monday… I forgot to post it. Until now.
  • Dasks.
