Drive

February 25th, 2007 No comments

Excuse me being late in hearing this news, but I’m glad to see Fox is actually promoting Drive. Anyone who is a fan of Tim Minear or Nathan Fillion might want to check it out.

Fox starts the series off April 15th and 16th (somehow it’s a 2-night, 3-hour premiere). There are a couple of promos on YouTube to check out here.

SysAdmin Day

July 28th, 2006 No comments

I don’t know how I manage to forget this every year, but it’s SysAdmin Day.

If you’re a customer/user, show your SysAdmin some respect. If you are a SA, go do something vengeful or whatever it is you do.

After several days of sitting, no stick spray is quite sticky and incredibly hard to clean.

Caught in TP support hell….again

June 22nd, 2006 1 comment

So last week I managed to destroy Soze (work laptop). This is pretty normal for me, its summer and the work laptop was the last piece of sanity I had left in the world. I followed the normal course of action and had a desktop student place a service call with IBM (or Lenovo, or whoever the hell else wants to handle support for thinkpads). This usually is followed with a box being provided a couple of days later and a little over a week’s turn around time. Fine, I can live with that….or so I thought.

It has now being a week and a half, and the most acknowledgment of the problem we can get out of IBM is “We tagged your call so people would look at getting to it soon.” WTF! How hard is it to send a frelling box?

And of course, my snobbishness (this is a blog, I’m allowed to create words) regarding screen resolutions has kicked in. With Soze, I’ve gotten used to 1400×1050 res. With my t30 and a t43 loaner, the best I can do is 1024×768. This is just not acceptable any more.

Clerks II - July 21, 2006

So yeah, I guess it got bumped up to July 21. From what I’ve read, it should be an alright movie. I try to force myself not to have expectations, so I also make reviews quasi-neutral.

In other news….I was playing with unixODBC and OpenOffice.org’s Base and discovered that a few people were commenting and having issues with the captcha system. So spam blocking is now off and I’ll just have to moderate more often.
