Diary of a Network Geek

Lord, what a boring title.
Hmm, come to think of it, it's not a very exciting update, either. Anyway...

Howdy, y'all!
I've been told that the Houston Chronicle has linked to my blog. I don't know if I should expect issues with the site as a result, but, if the server doesn't crash, welcome. Please, comment profusely and read obsessively. Note that your e-mail addresses are kept private, except, of course, from me and every comment is moderated, so they may take some time hitting the site.

Thanks for stopping by!

The top eleven Geek Pickup lines, second edition, as stolen from BBSpot, for your Friday afternoon funny:

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the blogosphere....

I just had my last cigarette.

Considering what I'm working on this week, it seemed appropriate.
Windows NT had its time. It was good at what it did. It had its place. That place was the early 90's, not in the twenty-first century. So, while I get ready to gut this server setup I've been saddled with and replace it with a shiny, new Linux-based Novell server, contemplate this: Windows Neanderthal Edition.
It's funny. Laugh. Laugh, damn you, laugh!
