\u00a0I wonder what layer of Hell collections agents are in after they die. \u00a0I&#8217;m not going to talk too much about that here, now. \u00a0I may ramble on about it later. \u00a0I mentioned, in passing, to one of the agents that I was starting to think there wasn&#8217;t an option for me other than to lawyer up. \u00a0I&#8217;m thankful one of my professors from <a title=\"My alma mater\" href=\"http:\/\/cnu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">XKCD.edu<\/a> remembered me when I contacted him back in January after [redacted] laid me off. \u00a0If I have to drop him a few bills to get this taken care of, so be it. \u00a0(Tip of the hat, <a title=\"Marc Messier, not the hockey guy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stephendunniganlaw.com\/Attorneys\/Marc-P-Messier.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Messier<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00a0ISC BIND is still a PITA. \u00a0But I think I got it fixed, finally, on Icecube. \u00a0My v6 resolution will work again, even if the v4 to home needs updating again. \u00a0Hopefully, the SiXXS PoP in Ashburn stays up. \u00a0*sigh* \u00a0Cawcks may be my &#8220;friend in the digital age,&#8221; but they sure haven&#8217;t caught up with non-deprecated protocols. \u00a0(And, yes, I know I need to buy a DOCSIS3 modem, but even if I did, I wouldn&#8217;t get a routable v6 address yet.)<\/p>\n<p>3. \u00a0Rumors on the Internets, and from Sarah, Ethan, are that Enferex is back in Tidewater on holiday. \u00a0(Do the Aussies use that as <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">dingo<\/span>er lingo?) \u00a0I hope I get a chance to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>4. \u00a0Music tidying is tedious. \u00a0See the &#8220;digital cobwebs&#8221; entry a few weeks back. \u00a0I still haven&#8217;t gotten my library where I want it, but it&#8217;s closer.<\/p>\n<p>5. \u00a0The new Facebook plugin setup\/sync is less onerous than the one I&#8217;d tried before (or I&#8217;m just less stupid). \u00a0Comments work again. \u00a0That said, you can register, and comment via the native WordPress stuff. \u00a0I just have to approve them.<\/p>\n<p>6. \u00a0Tecfidera is going. \u00a0Over the past week, I&#8217;ve had flashes of near-adequacy on my vision. \u00a0They&#8217;re still pretty short-lived, unfortunately. \u00a0On the bright side, I&#8217;ve seen things on my iPhone that I haven&#8217;t seen before.<\/p>\n<p>7. \u00a0HRT never called me back. \u00a0Looks like they&#8217;re going to shut down the Dominion Tower bus stop next week. \u00a0This is a problem for me. \u00a0I&#8217;m not saying I don&#8217;t understand, though. \u00a0I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen more than two people get on there, four people on the bus at one time.<\/p>\n<p>8. \u00a0I&#8217;m rambling. \u00a0I probably ought to quit writing now. \u00a0*yawn*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because 110% is lame, cliche, insufficient. \u00a0(And 340 is what I came up with for my current work &#8220;utilization.&#8221;
