Just a quick post (still crazy school time). I like LOLCats a lot, but by far, the funniest, albeit geekiest, photo I’ve ever seen is: It’s funny because of Schrodinger’s Cat Thought Experiment. Basically, quantum physics says a quantum particle, at any moment, may or may not exist. Honestly, there is still no “official” way for the things we know … Read more
This week and next are insanely busy for me, so you’ll have to forgive my sparse posting. As you probably know, last week we went camping. It was a great week, but one of the things you notice more when you’re away is how often you go to the restroom. I’m actually on a blood pressure medicine that causes me … Read more
One of the joys of camping in a state park, is that everyone uses community showers. (No, not like that…) The park we stayed at only had 3 showers for the entire park. There are well over 100 campsites, and camping creates lots of reasons to bathe. Every morning, as I walked to the restrooms, I’d see people waiting outside … Read more
We don’t have a junk drawer in our house. That saddens me immensely. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of clutter, but it’s very strange to live without a junk drawer. At work, it’s not really been a problem, historically, because I’ve had at least one place for junk. For example: But here at home, my wife … Read more
I love Pop-Ice. You know, those plastic tubes filled with flavored goodness, which are frozen, and eaten right out of the tube? My favorite flavors are pink and blue. I know, those are colors, not flavors, but really I don’t think they contain any natural flavors at all. I could say my favorite flavor is bimethylhexaflorimine, but really, isn’t it … Read more
Sometimes I do things for no other reason than being different. Maybe it’s because I like to do things that annoy people. Here’s a short list of 8 things I do off the top of my head. 1) I like to set my alarm clock to PM when it’s AM, and then set my alarm to go off in the … Read more
John Scalzi (one of my favorite authors) is busy this weekend. Normally, he posts lots of things to entertain his fans, but is unable to do so now. So this inside joke won’t make sense to most, but ya know, anything to keep his fans entertained. (And no, he didn’t solicit help, it’s much more fun this way.) If you … Read more
I received the following on a t-shirt for my birthday: And I love it. Really, it is hilarious, and when I first saw it, I almost spit coffee all over my laptop. But there is a problem. It’s really hard to explain what it means to anyone that’s not a Unix/Linux geek! I have a couple other t-shirts that are … Read more
Yep, today is the 8th annual Sysadmin Day. Every summer, the last Friday of July is the official Sysadmin Day. And every summer, here at the school, the entire staff works (4) 10 hour days, so they take off every Friday. You might think they do this to avoid buying me gifts and whatnot (the thought has crossed my mind), … Read more
