Another move… Check the archives and you’ll see mentions of many other moves. This time we moved about 25 feet to the right of our old desk. This desk is a bit smaller, and looks a little odd with 4 monitors on it. (There would be 5, but that’s getting a little out of hand.) everything is switched around as well, the PC is on the left side and the phone is on the right, I keep picking up the mouse and saying “Hello?”

This is all temporary, and I will quickly adapt to my new surroundings. Any second now my productivity will start to soar, and then… well, watch out!

I really should have given out a nice ‘thank you’ to bill at brilliantcorners.org who answered almost all of my ASP questions for the last few weeks…

I’m even tempted to downgrade ASP from ‘hate’ to ‘extreme dislike’ on my list…

Ok, well, I won’t go quite that far…

I’ve used a poor combination of dos2unix, unix2dos, mac2unix, and unix2mac for far too long, due mainly to lazyness. Well, flip is here now, and working quite fine. (Thanks Mac OS X Hints!)

Gizmodo points out that controlling TV‘s is fun. And who can disagree? But let’s not forget history here…

If I rememeber correctly, woz was the first to resort to this type of trickery. Woz being the practical sort of joker used to use a TV jammer to mess with people. Read all about woz’s TV jamming (find the part that mentions “TV jammer”)

Say what you want about Steve Jobs, but the other Steve just plain rules…

A while back I mentioned Windows uptime, and we actually put it to use today. I alerted our server admin to one of our IIS servers that had puked on us. He usually kicks it and it gets going again. This time no good. So, as I often suggest when Windows is involved, I say “reboot?” and he is reluctant, but says “sure” but not before wondering about uptime. So I ran the uptime.pl script for Windows, and lo and behold, it had this to say: up 49 days 16:50 (since Wed Aug 27 22:33:24 2003)

Wow! Alert the media! Call those Guiness folks! I did mention this was a Windows server, right?

Oh BTW, the reboot solved whatever was ailing the poor box.
