It’s been so long since I blogged last. This will be interesting. A lot of things around me are falling apart. Common Technologies is all but gone and I’m the one tasked with making sure the hosting customers get somewhere they’re taken care of. This somewhere will probably be DreamHost for most of them. Others [...]
I’m currently watching Fox News where Shep Smith is interviewing Bill Black. Everyone is bickering over what we shold do with these banks and their CEOs and this stimulus package. Here’s what I and no doubt many others think should happen: Use this stimulus money to buy all stock in an insolvent bank/automaker/whatever. All of [...]
I had my car fixed today. I can once again make a left turn without worrying about whether my car will fall apart! I’ve also been informed that I have 3,000 to 5,000 miles left on my brakes.
If you’re viewing this post from Facebook you may not see the videos. Visit drewburden.com to see the whole thing! I hate football, but I’ve been watching the ads on Hulu as they’re posted. Here are my favorites: Pepsi Max: “I’m Good” Everyone loves to see someone get hurt. It’s not right but sometimes it’s [...]
Configuring and compiling a kernel under Linux is one of the rites of passage of geekdom. This will mark go number 3 for me, but only because I messed up last time. You see, for the past few weeks my DNS server has been bombarded for root nameserver queries in an apparent DDoS attack on [...]
I sent out an open invitation for anyone who wanted to join me at Denny’s about 45 minutes ago. So far no one has taken me up on that so I believe I will be eating on my own tonight. I will now ramble on about anything that crosses my mind. I really need to [...]
…and that’s even more so when you’re pretty much broke. I think the bottom half of my car is about to fall apart. I’m fairly sure that the alignment is WAY out of whack and I desperately need a brake job. I’m surprised I can still stop the car. On top of all that, my [...]
I just visited the Owensboro High School web page. It has really gone downhill since we all graduated. Here’s a list of things it used to do but does no longer: You could login with your domain user name and know how many new emails you had. It would tell you the weather. It would [...]
So lately, I’ve started having some crazy dreams. Either that, or I suddenly started remembering them. A couple of friends and I went to some restaurant to eat, we ate our food, and one of my friends pretended to break her legs so she’d get her food for free or something. I paid for the [...]
BANG. BANG. BANG. The quick succession of loud beats on my front door caused me to bolt out of bed at 9:15 this morning, and scramble to get my pants on. I already knew who was at the door and what they wanted. I opened the door and in front of me stood a Daviess [...]
