Shocking discovery: walking is easier if your shoes are properly laced.
@silicongirl I did warn you it was *that* bad ;)
Transferred a server's "memories" to a new "body", a virtual machine. Transfer of consciousness?
A nasty trip on the deathbus really puts the city's transportation dilemma into perspective.. at least I made it alive!
OK, this server is more like it: 5 500-gb disks on a raid-5 array! and Dell's PERC controller seems nicer than HP's smartarray.
uh-oh. Our insurance company offers, as part of our benefits, "driver's accidental death". Sorry but, could you strike out that clause?
I freaking hate all these Fedora installations where someone just up and chose "install everything". Makes for a mess of a system.
oh, spiffy new version of SSH does "randomart"!

I'm sad the Olympics are over, but I'm glad I can say goodbye to mexican TV's horrendous coverage of the games. I'm getting cable next time.
Updating a system I wrote about 4 years ago. My PHP is quite rusty.
debugging a weirdly-behaving rails app.
Twitter poll: which one has more keys, your office/work keychain or your home keychain?
Munching on some saltless assorted nuts. Didn't know they tasted so good without salt! It sure ruins their natural taste...
@El_Chaco_Veloz odio ser yo quien te diga pero... Una guerra de película it is ;)
I foresee hecticness until tomorrow, luckily this little restaurant we're at is pretty quiet. An hour to relax and then it's back to hectic!
Dare I say it, I liked hahlo better than twittelator or twitterfon. Have yet to try twitterrific on the iphone.
@silicongirl http://hahlo.com try it, your mobile twitting will never be the same
grand opening in about 2 hours. Never mind the building has been operational for 2 weeks now.
Palms were ok but they started going the WinMo road and went all to hell. Glad I jumped ship, the new Treo Pro just proves me right. Yuk!
Sunday's mantra was "tulibu dibu douchoo".
I feel like some yummy chocolate-covered raisins. Unfortunately I ran out of them about 2 weeks ago!
World's fastest office chair! http://tinyurl.com/6grcru
ho-hum. Preparing result lists for yesterday's test and scheduling tests for next week. Sounds like a full-time job to me...
Twitter SMSing never worked for me anyway, so I don't care ;)
Long runs twit-kill me; yesterday's took me until today to recover.
I applaud the humility and sincerity of Madaí Pérez, mexican, finished 19th on olympic marathon. Didn't win a medal, sure won my respect.
As always, the olympic marathon is a great drama; Lesotho's runner just cramped, is limping, hopefully won't have to drop out.
oops, deena kastor out due to injury at approximately kilometer 5!!
Olympic women's marathon about to start! I foresee a couple of hours glued to tv
Olympics: being a favorite for the bronze medal, is it good or bad?
14 Day Activity - 280 SPAM, 30 Good. Bah, I remember when I got more legitimate mail than spam.
Bound by the shackles of work :( LOL
So if my Dom0 is amd64, I can't run a 32-bit 686 DomU. Next option: install 64-bit ubuntu.
installing an old-ass kernel to see if I can get Zimbra to work. What, no amd64 version? bleh!
"The dodo rampant appears on the coat of arms of Mauritius". Sorry but a "dodo rampant" hardly sounds impressive.
@El_Chaco_Veloz van dos días seguidos que me encuentro a Carlos Chávez (cursor) caminando por la calle :-O sigue igualito!
There's no picture worse than the one you never took. So go wild with your digital camera!
Linux server backed up on Windows machine, of course it screwed up all permissions which I'm now having to fix manually.
If we're in the basement and a Ceiling Cat shows up, is it a purgatory cat? and would that be a plenum cat? pondering..
LOLCODE: lolcats' programming language. If you ever learn ONE esoteric, useless language, this should be it. ROFLing!
Turns out, I'm not such a bad program architect OR perl programmer.. hmm. I still prefer Ruby or PHP.
For a brief, horrible moment I thought I'd deleted ALL of my organization's email. Phew!
The idiots at cinépolis charged me 2 days ago for tickets I purchased in *june*. Way to go. They're big Windows users, must be why.
Stuck in traffic, so I'm texting, quite dangerous!
dovecot is so much easier to install than courier. Bleh, I'm to lazy to dovecot-ize most of my mail servers.
over the course of 3 weeks, I've realised this: the phrase "easy run" is an oxymoron !!
Took me until today from recover from saturday's long run, but here I am!
Microsoft VP says Wii has "gimmicks" instead of "solid gameplay". Sour grapes over the Wii outselling Xbox. http://tinyurl.com/6kvgsy
Great, we're all upgraded to Wordpress 2.6. Was a bit messier than expected; I shouldn't be so long between upgrades.
