Bond Moment
I’ve decided that my daily 007 time is those few minutes spent on the throne at work. You spend those moments listening in to all the sounds going on around you. Is the person coming in or going out? Did they wash their hands? Why are they making that annoying sound? Also I watch the shoes pass by in front of the stall and try to decipher whom they belong to, maybe this is why women notice shoes much more then men. Generally guys spend their time at the urinal and don’t get to look at much other than what is right in front of them while women have more time to ponder the mysterious feet of the fellow restroomies. It’s funny how much you can key into those things within a bland confines of a stall.
every once in awhile
Sometimes I wonder at all the things I could be doing if I was more focused and could concentrate on getting one project done at a time. Then at times I see an example of someone who has managed to do such a thing and am thankful that I don’t
Facilitating
So it looks like we’ll be moving to CoSentry up north in KC near the airport for our new hosting facility, since the location we are at now will be closing down in a few months. That means as the newly appointed sysadmin I also am plotting out the move to the new hosting facility. […]

sysadmin++
So it looks like I am headed to the SysAdmin role. I had a talk with our CEO today and he’s all for the idea, which is good because I wasn’t sure how he’d feel about it. Ideally it should be the new CTO’s decision but he started just a few weeks ago and Chris […]
More plugins
Well of course it’s not good enough to just have my rantings posted in one place so I’m trying out this Live+Press plugin in WordPress to see if it will kick everything across to LJ. Why do I feel the need to have things like that, I really don’t know. I think it’s because I […]
SysAdmin
Our current SysAdmin is going to move over to another group and become a C# programmer. Which leaves a hole in our group of five geeks at the company, so today I let the powers that be know that I was interested in the SysAdmin position. Currently I do a fair amount of Sysadmin work, […]
