I have a new crush. I think the system will now rotate on a daily basis instead of weekly. Sonny spurned my advances despite my impressive collection of 'sploits and root kits. So, I found someone else. I predict he lasts a week.

Will concentrate on subnetting math for the weekend. I need to become a genius with it. Many people say "I'm not good with math," but, I don't think anyone truly exemplifies that statement the way I do. If there are numbers, I begin to cry. I got some example cisco rules. They look sort of famaliar, but far too simple. I still believe in letting a computer do the routing and the firewalling and the natting and the dhcp leasing. It seems unnatural to let anything else do it. I'll read up on it I guess. BSDiva.com email appears to be working. Shockingly. I need to edit some sendmail files, but, I'm going to wait to do that until the MX record change propagates. So, if you're sweet, I will give you a BSDiva.com email. If you're a misogynist asshole, I will stab you repeatedly with my scissors. BSDiva.com also currently has one user. I am so happy. Things seem to be going quite well for her. I am hosting images. It rocks, and I feel accomplished. I even set it up so she could scp, but not shell in. How cool, eh?

Someone emailed me the most delicious job posting. It sounds exactly like what I want to do. Except the last line where it goes into all the versions of HP-UX the candidate should be expertly versed in. Heh. Oh well. Maybe I will just give up on this whole technology business and go work at M.A.C. Mmmmm. Hire me: I know about makeup AND firewall rules!

Last night definitely did not go as planned. I love my roommate, but he really just doesn't have the skill for rallying the troops that I do. Can't let people choose their own destiny. That prevents you from choosing your's.

Started cleaning the apartment a little. Jason and I's birthdays are coming up, so, I figured we'll be having people over and I should probably do something about the mess. Took pictures of the computers. Sifl is on the left, olly is on the right. Sifl does the server work, olly does the windows fun. Aren't they pretty? Heh. Need another machine for debian. I want something around a 400mhz, at least 32mb ram, so I could upgrade to 256. A 7gb harddrive and a decent video card because I want to run X. I keep getting out bid on ebay. I think I might have my price expectations too low. I don't want to spend more than $200 including shipping. I really do not want to build one myself, I think that will put me out of the price point I want, and I'm so picky, it would take me months to find the exact parts I want. Sigh. I've been listening to a lot of Jane Jensen lately as well as Gorillaz and Portishead. I have so much to do. Wish someone would come over and talk to me. I made french fries about an hour ago. Food of the gods. I burnt my finger on the oven rack. Then when I put them on the plate I didn't really want to eat them. It was probably more satisfying to throw them to Suede and watch her try to catch them. She's a good catch, that dog.

I'm excited about being able to add January 2002 to the archives. I think that will be a good experience. I like the new layout. I haven't finished so many of the sections though. I can't believe how I always feel like I have a million things to do, yet also live I haven't accomplished anything. This is what makes people go crazy.

I think Jason and I are going to go see Mothman tonight. Then possibly go to Cyberia or Karma. I prefer the music at Karma, but I would also prefer to support Jill. I think there is an 80s night starting at the Rarity. That might not be too bad if Jonathan and Ian DJ. Everyone loves them. I do too. I miss 688. Heh. That's not something people thought they'd ever hear. But, I think most everyone does. I am so stressed out. I really need to go dance and stuff. I have my resume basically finished. I guess I will begin the mass deliveries this weekend or next week.

Oh, and I'm sad that the bunny never has any time for me, makes me whiney. Charette is not a word.

Hugme linked me to this weird shit. Good fucking god. I can't even finish reading it I'm so freaked out. Anyway, take a look at it. If any of you need to contact me, I have recently updated my contact page thing, so you don't need to hire an agency to find me or talk to me. Just email. There's even a form [ummm, that you should use, cause its easy and its PHP and I need people to test it out ] .

In other news, Dustin is a thief.

So, finally! Between kendra on #hackphreak and plord on aim, gimp is now installed and working. I am so happy. Kendra really rocks cause geek chicks are always the best. plord is my friend cause he will sit there andsay 'make' 'now make install' a hundred times until it happens. Yea! Here is my screenshot. I am too tired to make anymore, I want to sleep. But, tomorrow after lug I will be making all kinds of cool stuff. Yea!

Dave Thomas died today. I am going to have a Wendy's cheeseburger and french fries for lunch in his honor. I was never really into Wendy's, but, I love red meat, and he seemed like a nice man. Plord said something about that's what happens when you eat food like that. Heh. French fries are from heaven. I'm currently working on a new content section. Its mainly for my own amusement, but since I don't have lj to post in anymore, I sort of need an outlet. It should be up within the next week or so.

Now, let's talk about my computer woes. I am so upset. I tried installing gimp last night, and it totally did not work. I just wanted to take a screenshot of the pretty windowmaker goodness, but I don't know how to do that without gimp. Sigh. I sort of am starting to miss linux. Will have to practice more. I really don't want to give up on bsd. I like some parts of it, but, other stuff is really frustrating. I still haven't ever had debian on my own machine. So, that is sort of tempting too. Lug @ GT officers meeting tomorrow. Regular meetings start next week. If you're reading this, I expect you to be there. I am very excited about the lug events coming up. They voted me in unanimously. I don't think they understand that being in charge of promoting lug is pretty much what I was meant to do in life. I am enthusiastic.

Jason and I are probably going to have a Valentine's Day party to keep us from remembering how incredibly, horribly single we are. So, most everyone who knows where we live is invited. I will put up more information as we plan things. I think Billy said he was interested in helping, so between the 3 of us, and our wacky ass friends, it should be big fun.

I met up with Jen and Irma from the Jacksonville elist and they took me out to their 80's night on friday and the goth night at the Imperial on saturday. The 80's night was a similar crowd and playlist to the 80s night here at the Masquerade. I had a great time, and got all sweaty dancing.

I can't remember the name of the club night at the Imperial, but it was really quite nice. It had a lot of the same atmosphere as 688 did. But, it wasn't disgusting and dirty and gross. I met a few of Irma and Jen's friends, and everyone was so very nice. The scene kids there are really just like the scene kids here.

Jen has convinced some of the other Jacksonvillers that my alter-ego is one "Mistress Cyberotica" and that I run a pay porn site. In actuality, I don't even have apache installed on sifl yet. I also need to register a new domain. I can't want to make sifl the hardcore webserving, firewalling, network address translating powerhouse that he longs to be. Anyway, the Jacksonville kids are wonderful, and I really appreciate them being so friendly. Thank you.

Last night I went out with Dustin a bit. He wouldn't let me keep any of the pictures, so, I don't have those to show. But, he did give me a good introduction to the web imaging system he is working on. Its really incredible. I am so impressed with people who aren't afraid of programming. It terrifies me and makes me want to cry.

I have so much to do at work and at home. Jason cleaned the apartment and it looks shockingly sparse. I need to make my room look that way too. I need to put the ram I got in sifl, and check into getting some more, actually. I think prices on ram will start going back up soon. I really relaxed over the holidays, and now I need to get a million things done. I think I am going to go out to Cyberia tonight, and hopefully meeting up with some out of town guests. Might even go to the 2600 meeting tonight at Lenox. I think its at 7.30 or something. Not totally sure. The first Lug meeting is on wednesday. I am so excited. I need to make up some fliers, and plan some events. I can't wait to start doing some uber promoting.
