I am so incredibly busy that I can’t see straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, I feel a ton better today than I did yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So many forms to fill out because I’m being asked to fill in on positions for people who’ve yet to be hired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been looking back over old entries, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something I put up on OD from some other site people tried to which others tried to migrate in 2002:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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)\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If memory serves, the stations had something like an 80KBps fractional T-1 connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certainly better than my 3.3Kbps home connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *checks old ISP address*<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hmmm\u2026 can’t reach this page<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They were absolutely awesome from their founding in like 1996. <\/p>\n\n\n\n *looks up the WHOIS data*<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ties to some other one-off Intertubes provider. Opening that provider’s page shows some generic portal stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a nerd is disappointing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, too, was diving back through old email to find my Ticketmaster login to try to buy Taylor Swift tickets for my wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uses the email address I stopped using in, uhhh, probably 2004. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am so incredibly busy that I can’t see straight.
