STOP SPAM IN ITS TRACKS!
Just to let everyone know, I have absolutely nothing to do with the “STOP SPAM IN ITS TRACKS!” spam that was sent using inertramblings.com as its return address. It appears that Robert Todino (aka Bill Jones, aka Brian Appel, aka Bob White, aka John Miller) of Woburn, MA sent out the spam and forged my […]
Pulp Antigenre
After reading all of the rave reviews, I decided to go see Kill Bill with my Father the other night. Absolutely amazing. Quentin has managed to accurately capture the feeling of, and make fun of, Japanese Anime and fight genres at the same time! Some of the scenes were dead on accurate to the culture […]

Because of this I tend to write using my own personal set of rules that I’ve put together […]
The mystery bag made its way back to its owner…
I left the mystery bag in front of the garage at the address on the envelope I found in it. This morning I got a voicemail from its owner thanking me profusely for going out of my way to return it. How many karma points is that?
Tis only a flesh wound!
Yesterday evening’s commute home was quite amusing. I found a leather bag in the middle of the road leaving work. You’d think that the owner of such an expensive bag filled with medical course notes and textbooks would at least tag it with their contact information. No such luck. Not even a name written on […]
Don’t fsck ext3 disks…
The storm last night caused numerous power outages both at work and at home. Unfortunately, the Web server UPS died and caused some minor disk corruption. No problem, the disks are ext3 with journaling enabled. But, when I got home, instead of allowing the system to come up on its own and recover the journal, […]
Breakfast
