Guard dogs protecting a fruit orchard in Malaysia have met their match – a 7.1-metre long python that swallowed at least 11 hounds before it was finally discovered by villagers.
If you thought your Exchange deployment ever made your life miserable, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. If you’re the Exchange admin of a small business deployment, you’re likely to strut around your office and just tell people to get over it.
If you’re an admin of a large enterprise, March is your Month of Suffering. Prepare to sob like a baby.
Congress enacted this little thing called Daylight Saving Time, right? Well, then they decided to make it happen three weeks sooner in the year 2007. They passed this law in 2005.
Apparently my dreams are shattered. Zhang Ziyi isn’t into fat, balding, married men after all.
I cry now.
So today I had the chance to wander a bit. My friend/coworker picked me up for a ride around town in his very lovely Porsche. We tooled around the capitol a bit and ran in for a quick visit to the Aviation and Space Museum (Smithsonian). What a lovely, lovely treat. We blazed through it pretty quickly but being in the presence of that much Great Stuff is humbling.
I was especially taken aback at the small spaces our astronauts have grown accustomed to for space travel. The capsules and living spaces in Skylab were all extremely claustrophobic. I’m not sure how we’ve been able to come this far with things that have just been… err… passable? I dunno. What we’re capable of is quite amazing.

In other news, this is just what the doctor ordered to give Linux a swift kick in the arse.
Here is a nice, thought-provoking article about Bernie Sanders. Bernie is a Senator – and a Socialist.
Interesting story and very, very well written.
It’s funny to know that for the first time in my life, I’m setting foot in a state that I’ve often written stories about.
Tonight I arrived in the D.C./northern Virginia area. My hotel is in Alexandria, VA, so I had to jump on the Metro and ride out to there. Unfortunately, I missed my stop and had to turn around and come back up one station.
Then comes the walk. The hotel was actually two blocks away from the Metro station, but I accidentally took a wrong turn and walked about 7 blocks in the wrong direction. Let me tell you – making a walk in the wrong direction in 30’F weather with a brisk wind SUCKS.
Via digg… some beautiful pictures from Hong Kong.
I’m proud to say I’ve been there and laid my naked eyes on those very same buildings.
Sorry I’ve been quiet the past few days. I didn’t mean to be. But I was.
The major project at work is jumping whole-body in tomorrow. Tomorrow’s D-Day. I’m not worried. Not a bit. That not-worrying is definitely not what kept me awake until 3am last night, especially since I wasn’t working on the migration at all. Not a bit. I also don’t believe in this much negativity.
Coming up this Saturday I have my first trip to D.C. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a hair nervous about it. I’m not nervous about the city or anything – hell, if I can navigate Taipei, I can navigate a large American city. No problem. I guess I’m more nervous about making sure I’m fulfilling expectations. I spend a lot of time wondering if I fulfill expectations. This boils down to the even the tiniest of levels. This weekend, for example, I finally told my wife…
