Still feeling a smidgen overtired and generally weary.

I think it’s just been from all the hubbub at work and family-wise. I think being stressed about the bro has given me some clenched muscles and attitude issues, which I am trying to work with, too.

BHK made some awesome quiche for supper… I know how spoiled I am. Two types – broccoli and cheddar, and soy-sausage with mozzarella. Sides of potato cakes, and more broccoli & cheese.

Comfort food for a cool temperature evening. Good stuff.

I’m going back to my 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 year ago archives soon – maybe this entry. I’ve been terribly lax about entries.. just been too busy.. or too tired from being too busy to write much.

Watched the first installment of Feasting on Waves. Alton Brown has a good gig going for him… getting his company to send him sailing around the Caribbean, sampling food and just taking in the life there.

doing archive now, reminded me that I got a flu shot again this year, last Saturday, along with allergy shots… and we saw Tina and Matt on the Boardwalk this time last year, too! When I mention getting a flu shot to people, most seem to say "Oh, I don’t do that" like it’s something terrible. I don’t know… they seem to work for me.

I’ll include more pictures from the ghost walk, corn maze and other goodies sooner or later – they’re all at my flickr account already – just a matter of putting them here.

1 year ago – (9017… 447 entries ago in 365 days) got a flu shot, visited a bunch o’docs, saw tina and Matt on the boardwalk. sore throat, Michaels for craft stuff, fillings, atw man, tiny toys from target.

Back to work. Busy busy, but BHK made an awesome vegetarian shepherd’s pie and I got to snuggle while watching Eureka, so all is right with the world for the moment.

Both myself and Chris a Rita’s cone on the way home – soft serve vanilla chocolate – Chris had straight up vanilla.

Not much else happened today (save for a possible big bang via graypumpkin), but that’s a good thing. Time seems to be flowing front to back, as usual.

Oh! There was some really awesome weather today!

This Afternoon: Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind between 11 and 15 mph.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 60. East wind between 8 and 13 mph.

That made it nice to go out and breathe.

The McCain campaign has accused Barack Obama of sexism, saying the Illinois senator was talking about Sarah Palin when he mentioned “putting lipstick on a pig.” Obama responded that the phrase is just a tired old joke, to which McCain shot back, “WHO’S a tired old joke???”

Sick right after lunch today – stomach cramps, vomiting and a bit of shakes afterward. I wish the bathroom at work was less centrally located.. I felt like I was broadcasting my problems to the whole office. Ah well… no helping that.

Watched season opener for Eureka last night and the start of Death at a Funeral. (spoilers on page – don’t read, unless you care to know.) Both were pretty standard fare for the genre, but entertaining nonetheless. Product placement in Eureka – interesting… I was surprised that we watched it last night -was rather expecting it to be a "see the whole season prerecorded after it’s ended" sort of thing. As for the movie, it’s always nice to see Peter Dinklage.

BHK made salad and queso for me, and had some left over chik-fil-a strips in hers… it smelled wonderful, and mine was delicious.


The Book of Secrets, Back Home Again

Work continues to grind along.. .it’s “in the thick of it” stuff, but I’m glad it’s finally getting to a point where I can see positive closure points to the project ahead. Later, I’ll get to implement the human contact side of things, which will be interesting. I get along well with others very well, especially for a tech-type guy.

Dinner of an awesome spicy bean soup and open-face veggie meatloaf sammiches! BHK makes the most wonderful food, both health-wise and comfort-wise.

We watched Dan In Real Life, which was pretty good… not nearly the stinker I’d heard it was. Nice to see Steve Carell outside of his normal slapstick / idiot character.

That’s about it, dear journal – running on vapors, and will be off to bedski soon – leaving early for work tomorrow. G’night!

Work is getting back to paces – looks like we’ll have a few very solid weeks of care to deal with up ahead. I’ll take my replacement day off at that point.

Not too many people to socialize with out here, and when they are available I’m pretty busy. After this primary project has been done, I can get back to visitors and whatnot.

BHK made tasty sausage (tofurky italian sausage for me) and veggies on whole wheat spaghetti with garlic bread. Yummitty yum yum! More tomorrow for lunch, and that’s fine by me!

Middleman tonight was fun – I don’t blame the aliens at all for minding our intrusion, and it was nifty seeing inside Ida’s noggin.


Joe Biden’s pro-RIAA, pro-FBI tech voting record

By choosing Joe Biden as their vice presidential candidate, the Democrats have selected a politician with a mixed record on technology who has spent most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders, who ranks toward the bottom of CNET’s Technology Voters’ Guide, and whose anti-privacy legislation was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.

That’s probably okay with Barack Obama: Biden likely got the nod because of his foreign policy knowledge. The Delaware politician is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee who voted for the war in Iraq, and is reasonably well-known nationally after his presidential campaigns in 1988 and 2008.

Sweden bans teaching of religion outside of religion classes in government-approved schools.

In what could possibly be a major blow to a scientific consensus that has held for decades, recent research suggests that the traditional conception of Neanderthals being “stupider” than Homo sapiens may in fact be misleading. As articles about the research findings state, ‘early stone tool technologies developed by our species, Homo sapiens, were no more efficient than those used by Neanderthals.’ The data used in the study is available on-line along with a visual description of the process used.

Another *busybusy* day at work, but eased when I got home – BHK made supper of the remainder of the sloppy joe mix became taco salad fodder, with a side of veggie taquitos. Good stuff… BHK and I watched the Vampire Ventriloquist’s Dummy episode of Middleman – the show continues to shine. Venture brother’s first half was pretty spiffy, too.

Other things that brought cheer – seeing these kitty pictures in the archive… both were taken at the same time – both kitties sucking up as much sunlight as they could hold. Newt was totally whited out, and pye looks very comfy on the purple couch.

Metro’s official stance on begging on the trains and buses –

Dealing with panhandlers

-Panhandling and soliciting of any kind are prohibited on Metro.
-Donate your money where it can do the most good by supporting local social service programs.




The nice folks at NPR have done us all a favor and taken some used Kinoki foot pads to be tested to see if they’d drawn anything out of a guinea pig reporter’s body. Guess what? They didn’t.

Reporter Sarah Varney bought some Kinoki foot pads and wore them to bed. She also subjected her husband to the (alleged) detox treatment. In the morning, they both awoke to the stinky brown mess that the advertisement had promised. Not convinced that the brown stuff had actually come from their bodies, our hero took the foot pads to a lab and had them analyzed and compared with unused pads.


“Compared to the blank that’s almost identical,” said the scientists. “It looks like three of the same sample, basically.”


A doctor from UC Berkeley confirms the scam diagnoses. Your body already eliminates “metabolic waste” and “toxins” through, um, other means…

“For many hundreds of thousands of years we’ve been successfully eliminating them through the usual means, which is urine and feces, and there has been no demonstrated need to accelerate that.”

So what is all that gunk in the pad? We’re not really sure, but it shows up if you hold the pad over a pot of boiling water. Who knew distilled water had “metabolic waste”?

I officially know more about Rsync than I ever thought I would. It’s a mighty handy tool.

Long story short –

rsync is written as a replacement for rcp and scp. One of the earliest applications of rsync was to implement mirroring or backup for multiple Unix clients onto a central Unix server using rsync/ssh and standard Unix accounts. With a scheduling utility such as cron, one can even schedule automated encrypted rsync-based mirroring between multiple host computers and a central server.


Currently doing a master <-> master -> offisite slave config.

Also set up a sql-based login system for both the primary and backup servers for ftp – annoying, as the backup’s mysql config is just different enough to give a man fits. in the data directory rather than usr.


Beefy mac & cheese (made with veggie-meat, of course) with the remains of the rattatouile and green beans made for good eats while BHK and I watched the Kevin Sorbo episode of Middleman. The show keeps getting better and more entertianing… I wonder how long it’ll last? I hope it’ll keep steam going for another season.

I want to start watching Dexter – BHK is about a season ahead of me. Time to put episodes on the PSP for the commute to work.

Nice day at work today – we took a field trip to the Port of Baltimore and a CSX location.

Some piccies – click to embiggen, as always, dear journal.

Nifty container lifts, a burned out building that was used in Enemy of the State, and some giant bumpers.

Got home, and… had some dinner! BHK made an awesome dinner of pizza and salad yum-noms!

Additionally, the video card installed, quick as a wink, while the pizza was being put to the last heating phase.

The 8800 GT is at *least* 4x faster than my old ati x1600 , and I haven’t had any of the hot pixel problems so far now. The old ati x1600 still plays games pretty well. Maybe I’ll put it in my server just to have a backup game device.


“A lady noticed her computer was running slower after she had brought her computer in to be repaired. She took the computer to a second repair shop where they found that one of the problems was that her webcam would turn on whenever it detected her around and was taking photos and uploading it to a website. The repair technician that installed the software has done this to at least 10 women and has photos of at least one undressing.”

This morning’s Harvest – BHK plucked this beastie before I headed to work.

If you enlarge the photo, or look carefully, you’ll see Tsuro, Marriage material, Canasta Caliente, Rook, Kahuna, Balloon Cup, Catan Dice, umm.. Carcassone H&G, and nibs and nabs of other part of the game shelf. Some printer cartriges and screen wipes.

Looks like I’m going on a trip to Port of Baltimore either Thursday or Friday next week! I’ll be in the field that day from 9:30ish to 2:30ish, give or take.

That’s a good thing… my port knowledge could use a little visual update – my last trip through Port Everglades was years ago.

Polished off the Tim Powers fault lines stuff I’d been meaning to read again… I may have to get back to Fluke and polish it off this week!

Big salad and a side sammich for dinner tonight… those quick pickles are lasting a long time!


I missed a veggie hot dog eating contest?!?! I bet I’d have cleaned up. (via Mr T in DC )


Forgot to mention that we pre-ordered Monty Python Fluxx, Marian Fluxx, and Pink Treehouse at Aardvark‘s. Just doing our part to keep the Looneys in business!

I added a new video card to my amazon wish list – my old one is just that… getting old.

I still don’t know what to get BHK for her Birthday next month. Tricky when we’ve already got the bulk of our hubbub out of the way now – she doesn’t really want for furniture or jewelry or books…. I suspect I’ll have to take a slightly different tactic.

Folks in the lunchroom today were making claims that “USA torture isn’t as bad as foreign torture” – Isn’t that splitting hairs? Drowning to get info someone isn’t torture?

Light supper tonight – tube and cool dinner on the love couch. Some pre-emptive fireworks being launched by the neighbors.


DevilPlay.de is a free German online gaming site that features a handful of solitaire, arcade-style games as well as three multiplayer games. While two of those titles are Vier Gewinnt (Connect Four) and Revello (Othello), the other one is Ingo Althöfer’s fascinating EinStein würfelt nicht!.

Bonus mini-review – The goal of the basic two-player game is simple: Get one of your stones to the opposite corner or eliminate all of your opponent’s stones by landing on them. Your six stones are numbered 1-6, and on a turn you roll a six-sided die and move the stone with that number or the stone closest to that number. Movement is always toward the opponent’s goal.

More news from my neck of the woods –

PRINCE FREDERICK, MD – In the middle of the afternoon on Sunday, Police were called to the Rite Aid in Prince Frederick for a theft. According to a press release, at 3:45 p.m. an employee of the store called police to report that an unknown suspect stole more than $1100 worth of electric toothbrushes from the store.
The employee described the thief as a medium build white male. The reports states that the man filled two baskets with the items and then fled the store. His getaway was achieved with a green Ford Thunderbird, however, the store’s surveillance video was able to record the suspect during the broad daylight theft.
Deputy Seth Mitchell is continuing the investigation.

Telecommuted in today -some slight bumps when Comcast passed out on us, but it was restored quickly enough, and I had the fallback of the cellular modem if I needed it.

Epidural went ok, painful, but hopefully productive. I got a bit panicked when I read the release forms this time (My heart rate went from 134/68 to 164/99 and back down to 139/95, once I focused. My average heart rate is still 119/79. – I certainly didn’t want to die as the result of a pain block, and once gave myself a little self-awareness, everything worked out for the best. I spoke with the doc about my rattling lungs, and he gave me a cursory look – it seems like they’re doing ok now, and the cough should be history soon.

Went to Mexico for a very late lunch (maybe 4?) and I chowed down, as I had to fast for the procedure. BHK didn’t eat very much, but she had a little nibble in the morning.

Swung by verison for a replacement holster, but they said it’d take at least a half hour to review records and check on the receipt.. we didn’t want to lurk that long, as my anesthetic was beginning to wear off and it was time to head home.

Saw the finale of Farmer wants a wife, and he took the better of the remaining options open to him, I think. i’ll be interested if he comes back next year for “farmer wants a divorce” and / or “farmer wants a baby.” Hell’s Kitchen wasn’t bad, down to two people I find interesting and both seem talented.

Tomorrow I go to the doctor for a review and another epidural. Hopefully I’ll get a lead on something for my nagging cough.

Went to go see the Hulk movie (I’m sleeping in until 7:30 tomorrow, so I can pull it off) – It was a whole lot better than what I was expecting. BHK liked the movie more than Iron Man, and I am certainly more sympathetic to Banner – I feel that Iron Man was better acted and had better effects, but Hulk was more enjoyable overall – I didn’t mind the CGI Hulk and Abomination at all.

Watched the 2nd episode of Middleman, and it was a lot smoother than the pilot. I’m enjoying it so far.

Nasty thought, resulting from last weekend’s dining out – “Crab dip stuffed crust pizza”. I bet it would make a mint along the Chesapeake… sprinkle a little old bay seasoning on the pie, and I suspect that you’ve got Maryland gold…. and I’ve got a tummy ache just thinking about it.

Joke of the day –

Q.What’s Brown and rhymes with Snoop?

A: Dr. Dre.


Well, BHK thought it was funny, dear journal.

Forget about the joke and just gaze into the eyes of telekinetic monkey. Ooeeeooooeeeoo! I hope he uses his powers for good!



Got this in the mail at work – That’s pretty cool of the building to do for the critters. 

The saying is something like: "Don't ever come between a Mother and her babies"
 
Well, here in Calverton, it's proving to be true.  There is a Mother 
Eastern Kingbird nesting in one of the trees in the back parking lot (*)
that has felt a little threatened by some of our staff members. She's
even attacked a few staff members. (thankfully, they are OK)
 
(*)She's in one of the trees at the right of the rear entrance in the
first island that is parallel with the building. Currently, 8:45 a.m,
there is a black truck parked near "her" tree.
 
PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT TREE AREA AND LET HER HATCH
HER BABIES.  WE DON'T WANT ANYONE HURT BY HER PROTECTIVE INSTINCT AND WE
DEFINITELY DON'T WANT HER TO ABANDON HER NEST.
 
Kate Flint did some research and found out some facts about Eastern
Kingbirds:
 
*   The Eastern Kingbird is highly aggressive toward nest predators
and larger birds. Hawks and crows are attacked regularly. A
kingbird was observed to knock a Blue Jay out of a tree and cause it to
hide under bush to escape the attack. 
 
*   During the summer the Eastern Kingbird eats mostly flying
insects and maintains a breeding territory that it defends vigorously
against all other kingbirds. In the winter along the Amazon, however, it
has a completely different lifestyle: it travels in flocks and eats
fruit. 
 
*   Parent Eastern Kingbirds feed their young for about seven weeks.
Because of this relatively long period of dependence, a pair generally
raises only one brood of young per nesting season.
