I am so incredibly busy that I can’t see straight.
Thankfully, I feel a ton better today than I did yesterday.
So many forms to fill out because I’m being asked to fill in on positions for people who’ve yet to be hired.
I have been looking back over old entries, however.
Something I put up on OD from some other site people tried to which others tried to migrate in 2002:
Read a promotional book sent to the station last night while I waited on Debian to finish downloading (building a small server to act as an Appletalk to windoze gateway)….
The Internet connection at the stations wasn’t great, but it was certainly better than the dial-up I had at home. Assuming everything worked, I could download the installation ISO in the first part of my shift, and burn it to a CD-R before the end of my shift.
I did this stuff at work because the Intertubes connection was quick for the time, and the CD-Rs were kinda-sorta free out of the production studios at the station.
If memory serves, the stations had something like an 80KBps fractional T-1 connection.
Certainly better than my 3.3Kbps home connection.
*checks old ISP address*
Hmmm… can’t reach this page
They were absolutely awesome from their founding in like 1996.
*looks up the WHOIS data*
Ties to some other one-off Intertubes provider. Opening that provider’s page shows some generic portal stuff.
Being a nerd is disappointing.
So, too, was diving back through old email to find my Ticketmaster login to try to buy Taylor Swift tickets for my wife.
Uses the email address I stopped using in, uhhh, probably 2004.
No, I’m not that interested. But she is, and it’d be an excuse to go to New Orleans. Concert(s) are a couple of weeks after our anniversary; why not?
