i finally got around to standing this beast back up.  still missing posts from <2006. geeky, but clever trick: imported posts from archive.org’s snapshot of this blog’s rss feed. prefer et obdura: dolor hic tibi proderit olim.

headed to gwx (geowoodstock 10) with my girlfriend.  i had a couple people ask what the hell i was talking about.  it’s a geocaching “mega event.” geocaching.com describes geocaching as “a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using gps-enabled devices and then share their experiences online.” as i said before…

going to geowoodstock, this year.  long weekend over memorial day, hanging out with nerds and running around in the woods, chasing after tupperware filled with mildew-ridden mcdonalds toys.  what’s not to love?

having played with nstx and some predecessors, i recently ran across iodine.  a quite refined pile of bits, this should give any general enterprise it manager an aneurysm. consider… 802.1x generally requires _some_ dns resolution.  and in most cases (small sample set), those are also caching recursive resolvers.

i’m impatient. generally, but also in this specific case: i hate waiting for pathology reports. my gastroenterologist took (his words) “lots and lots of biopsies,” this morning and expects them to be back from pathology in 2-4 weeks. quick update on the scope: this is my nth scope, where n represents “lots and lots.” (10? 15?) i knew…

i’m scheduled to get an esophageal scope on monday. the only appointment they had was at 8am, in the fremont district of seattle. getting to fremont by 8 means waking up at 5am or so. i expect to be fully comatose for the balance of the day. yes, it really has been well over a…

a friend of mine one suggested a rule to determine when you might consider not taking a risk.  the basic rule (paraphrased) is: if you would be embarrassed describing how you got hurt to the medical personnel treating you, you should seriously reconsider your actions. last night, i conspired to violate the hospital rule:  with a straight…
