Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment wasn’t really hitting on anything today.
Instead, I returned to DNS & BIND. And by “return,” I mean “started reading anew.” It’s been a while.
That worked out better.

Even though I’ve never been to the Aspen area, I wasn’t inclined to go out gallivanting today… for two reasons:

  1. SaraRules is at work… and, thus, not around to hang out
  2. I was “on the clock” and had work to do. (I have a work ethic, sue me.)

Today’s reading locations have included:

  • The dining room table… under the lamp of antlers.
  • The window nook
  • The front porch
  • The back porch
  • The kitchen counter

The view from the front porch isn’t awesome, but I wouldn’t mind catching a sunrise over it… if the sunrise wasn’t 5:41 AM. The back porch looks up the mountainside. It’s green and has a few trees. And, by the time I moved out there, it had the sun. Oh, the warm, joyous sun. (Not to be confused with the angry sun.) Aside from a butterfly, some birds and a few other assorted insects, I haven’t seen any of the local fauna.

Speaking of fauna: I saw some deer or antelope (hard to tell in traffic at 80 MPH) on the… dunes?… outside Green River yesterday. And, I saw my favorite not-sheep along Route 6, too.

Stray Toasters

  • The local wireless connection doesn’t like iChat, it seems. Other programs do just fine, but iChat craps out at random. I’ll have to test it with City later.
  • The Food & Wine Classic in Aspen starts today. Check out the ticket prices. Somehow, I think we’re going to skip this.
  • “Unboop”
  • I had iTunes on random and Rocket Man came on.
    Not Elton John.
    Nor Kate Bush.
    Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Interesting version. I checked All Music Guide and it seems as though it’s been on a LOT of albums/CDs.
  • Robert Cray’s Smoking Gun is still a great song.
  • So is Diamond in the Rough, by Shawn Colvin.
  • Thanks to for making sure that I saw Classics in LEGO
    …which, in turn, led me to this…

  • She bop -he bop – a we bop
    I bop -you bop – a-they bop
    Be bop – be bop – a-lu-bop,
    (I hope He will understand)
    She bop -he bop – a we bop
    I bop -you bop – a-they bop
    Be bop – be bop – a-lu-she bop

And that’s all for now.
