The tubes, the tubes!

I strive daily for high availability at my job, and seeing things like this almost makes it seem in vein: The Tubes Are Clogged

I spent an hour this morning researching what seemed like a non-issue on my side. Thankfully I was right, sadly it was because of this outage at Level3.

Big hand, long reach. Touch lots, break lots.

FEAR.

Those dishes won’t wash themselves..

Totally inspired by Wil Wheaton while doing the dishes, something dawned on me. I have a blog; why don’t I use it to catalog the random thoughts I have, not only tech related, but thoughts in general. I’ve been very selective about what I write, but I realize that I don’t just write blogs for everyone else to read, but also as a way to reflect, jog my own memory (holy crap like a journal wtfkickbrains).

So now I bring you; what ran through my head while doing the dishes. Maybe one of many posts that don’t make much sense, but mean something!

  • Pair programming sounds like a neat idea, it could really help me hone my skills.
  • Who the hell leaves this much peanut butter on a knife, it’s a bitch to clean and damn wasteful.
  • Mike Patton is a musical fucking genius and should be celebrated till the end of time.
  • I should have done these earlier, but I was too busy making python do exactly what I wanted, with ease.
  • I really shouldn’t let these sit so long before I get to them.
  • Weens The Mollusk is a fantastic album.
  • My trip to Knoxville this weekend is going to be a long one.. Kinda wish I still lived there, would be a much shorter trip.
  • I should blog about my thoughts, and post it to twitter because I don’t usually do that and that’s what they are for.

So, that’s it in a nutshell. Almost verbatim what I was thinking, put to text. Expect more of this, kind of therapeutic in its own way..
