I spent nearly three hours this week looking at packet dumps and coming up with a TCP-level explaination for a customer’s problem, only to have it shattered by bouncing it off a coworker. grr. Tickets from AUS to AMS in mid-March are $371. That’s nearly what I just paid to fly to Boston!

Wow, what I said goes double for long disclaimers that are translated into two different languages on every email!

Dear business world, Please stop with the legal and confidentiality disclaimers on emails that stretch out 10+ lines. Same goes for top-posting on a thread of five e-mails in one. You’re annoying me to no end, especially when your added contribution is only one line.

I am officially alergic to cedar pollen. It’s everywhere. Constant sneezing, runny nose, very itchy eyes. I started taking Zyrtec which helped some, then changed to Claritin-D.

AT&T finally ported my number to my iPhone. This means I am finally back to carrying one phone. Last night it felt weird not hooking my Nokia to the charger on my night stand. I’ve been doing this action right at 10 years; it’s quite the habit. This weekend I was browsing through textbooks at […]

The past few days were spent in Oklahoma visiting the family. I left Austin at 3 AM on Thursday morning and made it up in record time. Very little traffic, and that was the point. Despite repeated pleas to “eat more” by my grandma, I managed to put on four pounds between all the turkey […]
