Diary of a Network Geek

Life of a Professional Geek

Ah, the old days...
Yes, this past week or two sure has felt like the old days. Long, long hours that are appreciated only by a select few. Coming home to an empty house. Being at work late on a Saturday night. Yep, it sure seems like old times. The joys of being a Professional Network Geek. Well, at least I solved my little "issue" and, with the help of an equally dedicated co-worker, I have just a bit of testing to do tomorrow and we should be good to go for the mini-rollout.

Eating My Own Dogfood

That's just an expression!
Oh, for Pete's sake, it really is just an old Marketing expression that means, "use our own product". In my case, I should take my own advice. I was reading something I posted on someone else's blog some time back, where I was telling her "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on." Good advice, and I should take it.

Printer Sushi

Oy, more sushi?
Oh, yes, more sushi. And, you know what? There's more to come, too! This time, though, it's "printer sushi". Yep, that's right, there's a nut out there "printing" sushi. Actually, he's printing things on the seaweed wrapper that makes the sushi, but still, it's sushi that's been printed out, or on, and served up. And, people seem to dig it! Oh, what a world.

I know, I know, it's goofy, but it's also Friday, so just click on the link!

Duchess!

My parents are getting a dog.
We've always been a doggy family. (And, no, I don't mean that I used to pee on the rug!) When I was a toddler, the family dog, a Collie named "Lady", taught me how to walk. Literally! I used to grab onto her and she would walk forward very slowly, dragging me to my feet. Then she would slowly walk forward while I held on for balance. She was a great old dog. Patient as the day was long.
