Seven Songs Meme

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:58:54 GMT

Got this from Tim H -- my first meme ever. This might be a little weird.

Handlebars - Flobots
I Will Possess Your Heart - Death Cab for Cutie
You Can't Stop the Beat - Hairspray
Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
I Feel Fantastic - Jonathan Coulton
Clocks (and a bunch of other stuff) - Coldplay
Confessions Part III - Weird Al Yankovic

That is a somewhat atypical list for me, the Coldplay thing is because of their 30 days of Coldplay on XM and at least a couple of those songs are there because my kids make me hear them (and one was on TV).

Shaw Cable deal

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:14:58 GMT

We got a good deal on our cable package -- it's like 40% off, Shaw Extreme internet and a bunch of channels (but not the movie channel). We heard about it on Red Flag Deals web page. You have to be a student, though, but I get free tuition (which is also a good deal, but I didn't get that one from RFD.) I like this deal 'cuz it just keeps on, every month...

Back at work

Wow, I was working at another library, then off for a couple of months with the baby, and I just noticed I haven't posted since, like, 2005. Scary.

Day of the Ninja!

But you know, I don't feel particularly Ninja today. And isn't announcing your Ninjaness kind of anti-ninja?

Fudge Factor

Last week I got an article published...my first. It's in Fudge Factor, and my article is here.

Linux is working

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 18:18:23 GMT

Yeah, got some new (to us) hardware and put some stuff together, so I now have a reasonably smokin' Linux box that I can access from wherever.

Also, in other news, I pretty much never up date my LiveJournal.

Truth and Justice

Tue, 16 Aug 2005 19:55:04 GMT

Been really getting into Truth and Justice lately. A supers game that captures most of what I like about comics and movies. Still no luck on the Linux front, but I won a Pocket PC at the end of June. and we had a new baby

And now the Linux box is dead!

Mon, 02 May 2005 17:00:51 GMT

Or maybe just dying...gettin' all kinds of DMA errors all of a sudden, and this after a few weeks of happy VNC connections from all over the place.

Finally fixed my SSH

Fri, 01 Apr 2005 20:17:34 GMT

Was probably a port thing, or maybe my router's settings. Anyway, updating my router's firmware (thus clearing all my old tangled spaghetti settings) + routing an external port to 22 on my Linux box (thus defeating my ISP's block of port 22) did the trick.

Mostly, except that one of the machines I SSH in from doesn't do reverse lookup properly -- auth.log lists it as a possible breakin attempt and I just get "No further authentication methods available" when I try to connect. :-( If there's anyway I can fix that, someone let me know...

Risus Supers PBEM

I'm starting a Risus Supers PBEM to match my Fudge one. Info is here: Chuk's Risus Supers PBEM

Food

I've never had risotto.

Anyone know how to use sshd?

Fri, 19 Nov 2004 22:42:36 GMT

I've been trying to ssh in to my Debian box -- I thought it might be my router giving me trouble, but I unhooked that and still couldn't. Anyone who can fix it will get a free link to their page.

Here's the description: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=248641

Thanks.

Wow, it's still here.

I thought LiveJournals could atrophy...I wonder why this one hasn't yet.

Another good reason for LJ

Mon, 25 Oct 2004 16:52:49 GMT

I just realized that now I can post comments to other people's LJs. Well, there you go!

Why did I get a LiveJournal?

Wed, 13 Oct 2004 16:32:09 GMT

I got one because people were talking about it on the Fudge mailing list. Fudge is cool, and it sounded like everyone else had one, so of course I had to get one too! (I'm sure glad they didn't all jump off a bridge...I hate when that happens.)
