It’s Hot

Sys Admin Day

On July 25 I will silently celebrate my appreciation day. Yes I’ve had to tell coworkers which was the “correct” mouse button, even had someone try and use the spacebar once. Also.. you don’t need to double click links while browsing the internet.

Wall Tattoo

I never really moved into my apartment, it’s always been a “temporary” arrangement. (Going on temporary 2 years now.) Recently I’ve thinking about decorating and found this: http://www.surfacecollective.com/ Maybe I’ll finally replace my awesome Warcraft 3 poster hah!

back in school

I’m taking a SQL Server 2005 class at SPSCC. So far it’s moved pretty slow and from the syllabus I won’t be learning much new stuff until 1/2 way through the course. It’s good review but I was hoping to pick up more info about administration and efficiency. Unfortunately the next class which focuses more [...]

April Fools

Sitzmar reminded me of this hilarious trick. I’d love to do this at work but I’m sure someone would freak out, and it’d be more pain than it’s worth. http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/upside-down-ternet.html
