My wife just taught me, a twit, how to tweet via twitter.com. Who’s more the fool? The twit? Or the Twitterer who teaches the twit to tweet?

This is a live and learn moment. When I did my last update, I had a lot of old libraries hanging around. I thought that portupgrade would recompile all of my ports, but it didn’t. Most had been recompiled in the interim as I had been upgrading, but Apache, well, Apache upgrades are hardly for the weak. So, when I deleted a bunch of crud laying around. I broke SUEXEC. SUEXEC is what allows scripts to be executed under my various users’ home directories. Well, a recompile and reinstall, and things are working much much faster. Always fix your architecture kids.

Is getting over a nasty cold, and trying to get SASL and SVN working.

I’m cooking homemade Chicken Nuggets with MacNCheese.

I’ve decided to get my learn on, so I’m going through Juniper and Cisco training material. It’s fun, actually. Juniper certs are free, for now, so I’m starting there. Most of their material seems to compare JunOS to IOS anyways so it’s a two for one. Now to get a lab going…

“The original title of this book was ‘Jimmy James, Capitalist Lion Tamer’ but I see now that it’s… ‘Jimmy James, Macho Business Donkey Wrestler’… you know what it is… I had the book translated in to Japanese then back in again into English. Macho Business Donkey Wrestler… well there you go… it’s got kind of a ring to it don’t it? Anyway, I wanted to read from chapter three… which is the story of my first rise to financial prominence… I had a small house of brokerage on Wall Street… many days no business come to my hut… my hut… but Jimmy has fear? A thousand times no. I never doubted myself for a minute for I knew that my monkey strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo… dung. …Glorious sunset of my heart was fading. Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my space. But Jimmy has fancy plans… and pants to match. The monkey clown horrible karate round and yummy like cute small baby chick would beat the donkey.”

Getting excited for PAX!
