Send Al Gore!!!

We’re having 2 days of thunderstorms here in Michigan. In January. Granted, rain is my favorite weather condition — but really, it’s odd to know that I just put the Christmas tree under the house for storage this past weekend, and today we’re having a thunderstorm. Weird.

On top of that, I think the pressure tank, and possibly pump for our well is going out. Both not good things to have happen, at all. And my brake light went on today in the van. And the van started leaking transmission fluid. And it’s currently our only vehicle.

So far, 2008 is not impressing me.

Me, In the Winter

This is me, with bunny slippers.

The Garfield comic was particularly appropriate today. I tend to have an intimate (not freaky) relationship with our own thermostat. Sorry I’ve been too busy this weekend to do all those things I hoped to do (I’m looking at you, Nathan) — maybe later on this evening. It’s just been a hectic couple days.

Is Linux Worth the Effort?

Most of you know I’ve been working on servers for the past 2 weeks, often with less than stellar results. I realized that I sound as though I’m complaining about it, when really, that’s not the case. This is my favorite part of the job, and frustrations aside, I’d rather do this than clear 50 paper jams a day. I go into a little more detail at the link below:

Christmas Break?

Servers not working. Installation attempt number 17 in progress. School resuming soon. Not a SINGLE computer in the district working.

Uh… when is spring break coming?
