It’s always refreshing to have a “lightbulb moment” every once in a while. You know the feeling, you’ve been working with some system or on some problem for hours (or weeks or months) and you suddenly find that one piece of information that makes the whole thing fall together and make sense. It’s usually a satisfying feeling.
It’s less satisfying when the lightbulb that comes on is shining very brightly on a bad assumption you made at the outset.
More pictures of the (soon to be our) new house are up over at the gallery.
I got this in campus mail today:
Chancellor Richard Herman and Provost Linda Katehi cordially invite you as an academic employee celebrating an employment milestone to a luncheon honoring 2007-2008 academic retirees and academic employees completing 10, 20, 30 or 40 years of service.
I’ll be celebrating 10 years of service as of June. Wow.
The grandparents have Robin this weekend, so we’ve been catching up on the DVR by watching some movies.
And, now back to your regularly scheduled March Madness.
I have to post this while I can, Sebastien Bourdais has put Scuderia Toro Rosso ahead of their engine supplier Ferrari in the Formula One Constructor standings.
I assume things will change dramatically at the Malaysian Grand Prix, Australia is always a mess.
I went to the Virginia Theatre last night to see There Will Be Blood. In general, I’d highly recommend it, but it is not for children or the faint of heart. As usual, Daniel Day-Lewis gets so far into the character that you think this is some sort of biopic about him. And, if you don’t like grating, mechanical soundtracks, be prepared to cringe repeatedly.
Next I need to see No Country for Old Men.
So, the University is now releasing details on the outcome of the competitive bidding process for the endowment farms. Hopefully, someone else will publish the details somewhere and I won’t have to put in my own FOIA request to read the bids.
These comics really aren’t worth writing about, they are probably old, but several of them made me laugh as we’re trapped in the middle of a Cisco deployment.
It’s 1 year later and now he’s 2 years old and growing like crazy. More pictures of the party and playing with the new toys today.
