If you were offended …

… by my previous post, well, too bad. That’s just the way it goes when you step on my tail. Get used to it or get a life. Who cares what games we choose? Little to win, but nothing to lose. If you don’t like me pouring tomato juice all over you when you come […]

Got an Emo?

If you’ve got one of these at home … then it probably sucks being you. I got one and it sucks being me. “Don’t judge me.” The Emo mantra.

Spokane’s Proposition 1 (Prop 1)

Well, here we go again. The Alliance for a Competitive Economy of Greater Spokane Incorporated, A.K.A.: Greater Spokane Incorporated, (GSI), the same people who, a few years back, advocated, on their web site, that local businesses should engage in business with Red China, are trying to whip-up the panic-susceptible electorate into a frenzy over an […]

Man alive. That was weird, really weird.

The above picture I found illustrates how some network engineers view Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.  This is the sort of thing that we’ve been contending with the past couple of weeks. Thankfully, since reconfiguring the DNS servers to be non-recursive (they should come that way by default Centos folks) it seems to be […]

I’ve made sure that […]

Internet Movie Watchers

Just sending out a great big “Thank-You” to all those people out there clogging up the Internet with their movie watching. How about taking in a concert, eh? How about this one: What? Whaddya mean you missed that one? Well, that’s too bad ’cause it was a lot better than watching movies on the Internet.

Serenity – My Big Rig

I want to show-off my big truck. Her name is Serenity and she’s a 1978 Kenworth K100. She’s one of the few things remaining to me that puts a big smile across my face. I do love driving her. She sure fills my driveway. Doesn’t she? Here she is shortly before I bought her. Now, […]

Welcome to my world!

Well, if you’ve seen this before, you’ll notice that it’s changed.  That’s the nature of new things. They change until they finally arrive. I think we’re getting close. Big Trucks, Kenworth K100s exclusively; Ham and CB radio; Personal computer networks; Alternative Medicine; Matters of Faith; Politics; are things I like (or hate) and will either […]
