Diary of a Network Geek

I have a window.
Have I mentioned that before? My new cube at my new job has a window. It's nice, especially on Friday afternoon when I'm trying to figure out how to fill the seemingly endless hours of weekend without thinking about how lonely I am or whether I should just swallow my own tounge and not worry about it. Much to my own surprise, I usually find things to do that have more merit than choking myself on my own tounge. I wonder how long that can last?

Just a little...

You know, sometimes my silly Friday Fun Links have themes.
Lately, it's been a casemod theme. I guess, I've been feeling creative lately or something and the way cool casemods have caught my imagination. In any case, my freakish, albiet subconscious, obsession is your gain. This week, two links to freaky, fun casemods, both of which come to us via Gizmodo.

Great, something else for me to worry about...

No, I don't have a girlfriend.
No, I met the "Senior Partner" from Louisiana today. Apparently, he's done some checking up on me with former employers. He mentioned Kirby by name and talked about people in management there. Not sure who he talked to, but they seemed to have liked me okay because he said they had nice things to say. Sort of interesting, considering the somewhat dubious circumstances under which I left that job. Well, I guess I did better at not burning bridges there than I thought! Yea for me!

No, that is not what I'm doing these days.

Well, I survived my first day at the new job.
Oh, what's that? New job? Oh, didn't I mention it before?
Yeah, okay, there's a funny story behind that. Well, there's a story behind that which involves things like lawyers and teenagers and medical insurance and divorce. Come to think of it, it's not a very funny story at all. But, I hope that it will be one day.

Not sure how this slipped by me last month, but, well, here it is now.

Wow, German engineering at its finest.

Okay, this is a little stale, but...
WOW! According to this press release on Adobe's website, Adobe plans to acquire Macromedia via a massive stock purchase. The plan is for them to buy all the stock at the Friday 4/15 price.
