I'm about to take off for San Diego for a couple days. Gospelcom hosts a bi-annual conference, and I'm teaching a seminar on RealMedia. Should be interesting. I can't wait, I love San Diego.

Internet sites just aren't made to run without power... The show must go on, though. Gospelcom lost power for 2 hours today, and when I went to implement our normal alternative power scheme, some cablexs didn't work and random machines started rebooting, and... I'm tired. I'm going to be so sore tomorrow...

If you've tried to send me email in the last day or two and it hasn't worked, try again. Everything's back up now. And if you haven't tried to send me mail... try.

Possibly the funniest thing to ever happen to me here in Michigan happened today. A couple days ago I got a 12-pack of mints from the penguin group, and over the last couple days I had sold a couple tins to people at school.
Anyway, today they had a parent-teacher forum at school, and the first thing to get brought up is "someone selling caffeine pills at school." My mom, after turning bright red, informed them that they were only caffeinated peppermints, but now they're (the school and my parents) want my "drug trade" shut down. Heh.
I'm taking a tin of mints to the principal tomorrow (free of charge, BTW). I guess I'll quiet down sales a little, though. I sort of want to fight this, because there's absolutely no way I could lose, and it's something to do, but I don't know if it's worth it. I just can't wait for the rumor toblow up that I got busted selling drugs. That's worth every bit of it. :)

I started listening to Massive Attack yesterday... Good stuff. Very Portishead-ish. Lots available at Scour
I spent a good hour today trying to get Linux networking working on a couple machines at school, before finally realizing they have those stupid 3C905B cards that Linux doesn't like. Now I have to install 3C509's just to get that going.
Yesterday I redid my Enlightenment theme with backgrounds from Digital Blasphemy. The night scenery section is really good.
