the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Hahaha! @richwolf – http://www.laphil.com/gustavo/bravo.html – It’s Guitar Hero for Gustavo Dudamel. Sadly, with no flailing. #
• iTunes 9.0.1 gave me my mini player clicky back!!!!! YAAAAAAYYYYYYYY. (I am easily satisfied, as it turns out.) #
• Bummer: Thought my iMac had FW800, only has 400. Slow creaky usb drobo for now. Alas. #
• Okay, for real. How much acid *do* you have to drop in order to come up with this? Did you buy it in bulk from CostCo? #
• I mean, from its name, can’t even imagine what a Manifest Operation is, or why I care if package installer speaks it or not. Manifest fail. #
• Congratulations to OpenSolaris, who, with “doesn’t speak a known version of manifest operation,” have moved to #1 Worthless Error of the Day #
• Tonight I must decide which projects make the cut and get taken to #ohiolinuxfest with me tomorrow. Wish I could take a wheel! #
• @shadow It’s pretty bad. Absence may have made my heart grow fonder, but this mess is making it way more cranky. in reply to shadow #
• @Ipstenu Even more objectionably, they advocate actually FINISHING the job when you start going after the evil bad guy… in reply to Ipstenu #
• Okay, whose idea was it to name that table column “key” so now I gotta quote it? (You can alwys tell who never actually types out the cmds.) #
• Oh. I configure static IPs in /etc/nwam/llp now. Well, *obviously*. — This is just a whole operating system full of fail, now, isn’t it. #
• @Ipstenu Some people might call you obsessed. I prefer ‘focused.’ #CSI (There, have done my part :-) in reply to Ipstenu #
• Getting my first real taste of SMF today. Oh Solaris, how far you have fallen, old friend. #
• Useful to fellow Illinoisans: Sec’y of St now compiling emergency contacts w/DL records. http://is.gd/3Dpkm #
• @hubbit English to Hubbit: “I dunno, go ask some people ca. 1400-1700.” in reply to hubbit #
• I think I shall choose to interpret the resumption of being stalked by recruiters as a sign the economy is, in fact, improving. #
• My new drobo has arrived at home! Sadly, I am at work. Can’t play with new toy yet. Booooooooo. #
• @ravelry The art of estimating downtime is more like practicing psychic skills than it is to statistics. Triple yr 1st guess, then add more! in reply to ravelry #
• @smokes70 The one from the same people that did the Jacks or Better app. $2 but pretty fun, and good practice. in reply to smokes70 #

• The Pai Gow Poker iPhone app I downloaded today has a bug in how it pays out envy bonuses. Still, it gave me a royal flush so I’m happy. #
• @Kbcraigs You and me both, pal. You and me both. in reply to Kbcraigs #
• Huh. Turns out, fresh ginger + rice wine vinegar + stevia = a delicious dressing that means I actually liked a spinach salad. #
• home now from post-work shopping. Now have two disks for drobo (to arrive tomorrow), and strawberries and cabbage. Not for all at once. #
• I wish I had brought my knitting to work today. Something to do other than tweet, ‘I’m booooored.’ #
• @writchrd got reorged. Moving to @christensen’s old cube! in reply to writchrd #
• I am so bored I think I might resort to looking at Facebook. #
• Having people pack up and move your cube for you while you sit around doing nothing is very, very boring. #
• yeah! glee > stupid linux problems. RT @Gleeks All we have to do is get through the day AND THEN #Glee will be on! #
• I WILL KILL YOU, UDEV, IF YOU DON’T STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD. #
• @smokes70 WOOTOFF! #

• Did you see gawker’s post about giving up on heroes? #
• Yeesh. Ten min wait for the elevator to get to class. Too many people! #
• Jesus. Remind me never to complain about ugly hostnames…someone will find a way to make it even uglier. Gak. #
• Oh sure. Half Acre opens a retail store and starts selling growlers right after I’ve sworn off boozahol for a couple months. Meanies! #
• @hubbit openSUSE 11.1. Just an upgrade. Still, any time I get rid of a 10.2 host, unicorns soar over rainbows as bunnies and kittens cavort. in reply to hubbit #
• It’s a bit sad to think about taking down a machine that’s go a 396 day uptime. Not so sad I won’t do it though. Die, openSUSE 10.2, die! #
• @lizg640 The enclosure’s only like $305 on Amazon after rebate… disks are like $120 each from microcenter! in reply to lizg640 #
• @Ipstenu Or you could be me, who finds it hard to care about Martha much at all, in any circumstance. =) in reply to Ipstenu #
• Ordered a drobo and two 1.5TB disks; waving bye to Lendrum Complete fund. #
• Cold in the office today. Rockin’ the scarlet Swallowtail shawl. #
• @beth825 yum! in reply to beth825 #
• @Kbcraigs You are an insane crazy person. in reply to Kbcraigs #
• @StevenGlassman Well, I guess I’m probably 75% going to get one. Just have to not be sad over spending spinning wheel money on disk. :) in reply to StevenGlassman #
• @hubbit d’awwww, thanks! :) And yeah, hey @gerdesas, where are you? Coming to #ohiolinuxfest this weekend? in reply to hubbit #
• @Ipstenu Neither. I’m half Administrative Fascist, half Technical Thug. in reply to Ipstenu #
• “Sabrina, you’re starting to sound like a sysadmin” – best intended insult = compliment I’ve gotten in ages. (“Starting”??) #
• Ah, so. THAT’s how today is going to go? #

• Eyeing maybe getting a Drobo for home to replace the external disks… Anyone have any feedback? (Besides you, @smokes70 :-) #
• @sanityknit Hey now. *I* haven’t read LOTR all the way through. Great story maybe, but Tom Bombadil is effing *boring*, dude. in reply to sanityknit #
• So close to halfway done spinning up this red merino Cheryl gave me! Man, it takes forever to spin singles for laceweight. #
• @hubbit http://bit.ly/dGQc1 #
• My left thumb is actually sore from spinning fine merino over the weekend, yet I want to spin some more this evening. Hm. #
• @richardroeper Dork. in reply to richardroeper #
• @lizg640 Excellent! in reply to lizg640 #
• Organizing group tix for @EddieIzzard, in town on my totally-gonna-RULE,-now! birthday #
• @Kbcraigs Best practice your ‘how to ignore idiots’ skills… it won’t go away, this is the entitlement generation you’re dealing with. in reply to Kbcraigs #
• way too much email. Sorting coarsely, if I missed anything, please resend, or, like, imagine what my response might be & act accordingly. #
• @InsideTheSox Did you mean to tweet your email address to everyone or was that a mistyped DM? in reply to InsideTheSox #
• eyeing new Virgin Atlantic sale prices… train to NYC + flight to LHR … must resist spending money! #
• I just explained bunch of Jewish stuff to some fellow non-Jews. I really thought everybody knew about the “no meat and dairy tgether” thing. #
• @Ipstenu Same here. The only winner that I watch is Daily Show. Ah well, I embrace my out-of-touchness. in reply to Ipstenu #

• Golly, I’m just so shocked to hear the #cubs are not that pleased with Milton Bradley lately. #
• @sanityknit Oh no, sorry to hear that! *hugs* in reply to sanityknit #
• @richwolf Yeah, but you’d think it would return an error. It just hung, I had to force quit to get out of it. in reply to richwolf #
• @anamariecox Never, ever again put the words “Fox News” and “fan fiction” together. Not enough brain bleach in the *world*. in reply to anamariecox #
• @GayChicago How come God never chooses anyone to preach being kind to each other? in reply to GayChicago #
• @ExampleYouTwit I tried, but UK iTunes Music Store will only let me look, not actually touch. Give you 79p next time I’m in town :P in reply to ExampleYouTwit #
• So apparently no, I can’t actually use the UK IMS. I can look, but my filthy yankee signon attempts fail. Or my network’s broken. Who knows? #
• I was more excited about using UK iTunes MS before I tried signing in 13 mins ago which still has yet to return success or fail. Booo. #
• @writchrd I do like the idea that my presence inspires the #whitesox to inflict drubbings. Sadly, last nite was my last ticket fr the ssn :( in reply to writchrd #
• …I can change to the iTunes UK store? EXCELLENT. Now I will spend so much more money on dance music. Wait. Crap. Undo! Undo! Undo! #
