For the first time in what probably amounts to a few years I actually got excited about something at work.  After a meeting of more important people than myself it was reported that a big project that originally called for 6 TB of storage was going to need 100 TB.  I thought & probably said […]

At least I know I’m still learning.  Of course I’m only 33 so I sure as shit better still be learning.  What I learned today was the default/native VLAN does not have the 802.1q header added to the frames from that VLAN.  Well this was news to me.  But it sure does explain why a […]

Last night we went to a Kings of Leon concert.  Great show.  The reason I mentioned it was when we got to the concert I was going to go get a beer and the line was 30 deep.  For the first time in my life I actually said to Preggars (the pregnant wife) something about […]

There is only one bun in the oven.  I’m not going to be catching the first freight train to Mexico.  BITW will live to see another day.  Everyone just clam down (calm was spelled incorrectly on purpose).

J. Peterman: Elaine, I’ll be blunt. I’m burnt out. I’m fried. My mind is as barren as the surface of the moon. I can run that catalog no longer.
Elaine: What? Well, who’s gonna do it?
J. Peterman: What about you?
Elaine: Me? Why me?
J. Peterman: Why, indeed.
Elaine: Mr. Peterman, you can’t leave.
J. Peterman: I’ve already left, Elaine. […]
