  • Everyone knew it was sorta in work, but CNN starts the new year off right by proclaiming that Indiana Jones 4 is scheduled to start filming in 2007… for real!

    Only a day into the new year and I’m already looking forward to 2008. I can hardly wait to see what other news comes out of this… and the people who try to sneak onto the set, steal script details, etc… har har… can’t wait!

  • Well, tonight is another night for that New Year’s thing. First off, let me say… Happy 2007!

    Today we ate/socialized with Whitey and Vo0 at Cheeburger Cheeburger in Providence. Funtastic time! Thanks for the Christmas gift, guys! I can hardly wait to play it! I’m glad you guys are back in town and enjoying it so far. This town has become so much more interesting lately – and it’s only getting better. Besides, you’re just keeping with the trend of everyone moving away… then coming back… heh.

  • Justice was served… unfortunately, he couldn’t have died like a dog – the way he made so many others suffer.

    Here’s to hoping the virgins waiting for you are all transvestites.

  • BunBun: Anything from Cars or Monster Jam… the remote-controlled Superman is apparently a big hit, mostly because he can destroy our furniture with it.

    Taitai: a Kitchen Aid blender, but it’s the wrong color (dammit)

    Me: an 80gb iPod!Ā  My conversion to Apple begins šŸ˜‰

  • So on Christmas Eve, Buckshot calls me and says his Windows is calling him out for being a pirate.

    It seems that a few days after arriving home from Florida, his computer decided he was running a pirated copy of Windows XP, thanks to Windows Genuine ā€œAdvantage.ā€Ā  The ā€œAdvantageā€ utility had decided that because he left the regional settings set to the eastern time zone, but had modified his clock by hand to the correct time, that he was a pirate.

  • The night is silent once again… time for all of the Santas out there to stir up the dust from the closet.Ā  Merry Christmas from our family to yours šŸ™‚

  • One of the final touches on the migration was getting the Asia Albums back from the Mac iWeb site. This is now done. You can access it here. (Update your bookmarks if you added any because this site’s URL has changed ever so slightly).Ā  While waiting on a server reboot this morning at work, I went ahead and blasted the files onto the new server.

  • You know you’re a Linux badass when you’ve got everything working… and I mean everything:

    • Printing works with cups over USB, shared to another Windows desktop with IPP
    • VPN server works with PPTPD
    • LDAP
    • Webalizer
    • Postfix/SpamAssassin/Courier/ClamAV/AmavisD-New
    • Squid
    • DHCP
    • DNS
    • Dynamic DNS registration for said DHCP/DNS
    • Shares with Windows and Linux machines alike
    • Backup jobs
    • Mailman lists
    • Apache
    • MySQL
    • DVD playback
    • DVD record
    • CD record
    • DVD ripping (har!)
    • Music playback of entire 9.4gb library
    • Rich-media plugins for web browsers

    It’s all working.Ā  The only thing that doesn’t work… and it’s because I’ve purposefully not put any effort into it… is my TV card.Ā  That TV card is going to end up in a MythTV box somewhere.Ā  Just because.
