And on to OS #2. #
Starting 1st of up to 4 different OS installs on one test host today. I know it’s not going to find the answer, but I have to try anyway. #
Just received pkg that, according to delivery confirmation, took 13 days to go from LA to Chicago. Was it shipped by pack mule, USPS? #
Also, Dear The Entire World: Enough with the “Sammy, say it ain’t Sosa” puns. Once it was the @SunTimes front page it ceased being novel. #

Okay, am ready for tetanus shot related ache in right arm to go away now, please. #
And dear Timetrade: It is fucking stupid of you to “require” IE6 by which I mean it works fine if I make my IE7 user-agent string lie. #
Dear Microsoft: It is fucking stupid to have to go into the registry to modify an application setting (IE’s user-agent string.) #
Dear Recruiter: I don’t run Windows, I don’t know PL/SQL, and I don’t live in Dallas. Am at a loss to explain your emailing me. #
Hey, wait. What do you mean Sammy Sosa was juicing? No way. I mean, golly. I never saw that coming. Gosh, Wally. #

I love my spam lately. Earnestine Idjxeby wants me to know that “Ipod killed a man.” Really, Earnestine? Do tell! #
Busy: first time I checked twitter in like 3 hours. Yay perl, yay code that works, yay script that spews less garbage cron mail at me. #
AJ, I still love you, but I hope you got wedgied for that crack about how Buerhle stinks at hitting, in re: his home run. #whitesox #
Weekend: laundry, cleaning, multi-week shopping, homework, swimming, and still a bit left over to get a good several inches on Nelly shawl. #
