Mass Go Club

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Last night I went up to Davis Square to play at the Mass Go Club. Being an unfortunate sap with a job, I had to leave my apartment about 6:40 to go up there, and sat in a ton of traffic; in fact it took 60 minutes to travel all of 7 miles. […]

Adult toys

Monday, September 25th, 2006

From time to time I like to browse the catalogue over at ThinkGeek, as they tend to have stuff that makes me go “Whoa!” or generally smirk at the cube-warfare fantasies they perpetuate. I can certainly identify with some of them, but they always seem to lose their zeal in real life.
Now that I […]

Mad World A1 Pulsedriver Remix

This morning starting at 4:30am ET I had to deal with a runaway mail server trying to connect over and over to the GeekISP inbound mail server. Most of my spam countermeasures are somewhat fire-and-forget, or really only require tuning based on message content, so I was a little rusty when dealing with this.
I […]

Work insanity

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Man. I’ve been working like crazy lately. I can practically measure it in the frequency with which I say “gee, it’d be fun to play HL2DM tonight”.

RAID and cache memory

Monday, September 4th, 2006

I recently became aware of an interesting fact about RAID controllers - specifically the ones that come with the option for battery backup units.
This probably comes as no shock to the reader familiar with high end RAID components, but it was to me. Anyway, it turns out that without a battery backup unit on […]

The Big Move - A Belated Report

Monday, September 4th, 2006

I’m now a solid 2 weeks late on this post describing Dori and my move from NYC up to Boston. Oh well, just goes to show how life doesn’t wait for you to get some free time.
First and above all other things, I must thank and praise Dori for the tremendous amount of work […]
