Where to begin?

Yeahhhhhhh….I’ve really done well keeping up the site. Six months without a single update. Wow.

The short answer to “Why the hell hasn’t this site been updated?” is: Work and Facebook.

After working all summer, putting in a little overtime and tweaking a few settings, the Cisco NAC is finally working (for the most part) as it should. I now have 16 locations being monitored and very few issues. I get a few other projects thrown my way but it’s still not as bad as when I was first trying to get the NAC working.

Facebook, on the other hand, may cause me to go to Internet rehab. Mafia Wars and Yoville sucked me in and haven’t let me out. If you want to friend me, just search for my email address. If you know me, you know what my email address is.

I won’t promise frequent updates but I will try. Maybe keeping up my own site will help me break out of Facebook.

It’s been a day or two

It’s been a while since I last updated this site. Between my professional and personal life, I’ve had ZERO time to post any updates.  Thankfully, that has changed and I am going to be updating on a regular basis.

I miss writing the How-To’s the most.  The problem with How-To’s is that there are so many already out there.  I’ll just have to find a way to make mine stand out.

Direction determines speed

See if this makes sense to you.  I was driving to a client’s house yesterday to fix a computer. As soon as I turned on one of the roads, there was a speed limit sign showing 35 (north bound traffic).  Almost a mile after passing that sign, another speed limit sign is on the other side of the road showing 45 mph (south bound traffic).  There was no sign on the northbound side showing 45 mph.

What the hell?  I wonder if anyone on the south bound side has ever been pulled over by a cop sitting on the north bound side for speeding even though they were going 45?  I played it safe and took a different road home (one that has the same speed limit on both sides).

Before I forget: Happy New Year!

Answer: 72

Question: How many sparklers, bundled together on the end of a metal pole, does it take to make a wicked fireball?

The first one started sparkling like normal.  Once it hit the other 71 in the bundle, there were no more sparkles.  It was a pure, unadulterated ball of fire.  It burned for about three seconds and it completely incinerated the sparkler sticks.

Next 4th of July, that number will be doubled (at least).

Death rattle

I’ve been under the weather since my last post. Starting four days ago, I would be lucky to get two hours of sleep because of the congestion. Breathing started to become over rated because of the rattling and wheezing noises. My voice also started sounding like puberty all over again.

I finally went to the doctor this morning. She ran a few test and took a chest X-ray. Good news is that I don’t have pneumonia. The bad news is that I have a cold, sinus infection and bronchitis.  I’ve stocked up on OJ so the Florida orange growers should get a nice bonus this year.

Better, more informative post are coming. Stay tuned.

I’ve seen the end, and there is no light. Like deadly snakes, death rattle shakes.
