Saturday didn't feel like a Saturday. It's just not normal to wake up and go to work at 9am on a Saturday morning... Although there were two boxes of Krispy Kremes at the end of the hall which Dave and I put to good use (we stopped before a half dozen, each...). I discovered that apparently Dell Poweredge machines when they go to sleep and don't have a console hooked up, don't like to wake up if you plug the console back in. And because of the weekend it was doubtful that the company's tech support would be available if something went wrong when we power cycled their database server, so that's what Tuesday is for - they can figure out what to do then. I did a bunch of little things, and ended up starting to put together the new email list server. No software yet, just hardware. Lunch was Chipotle, which is always good. Joel Calhoun stopped by for the end of the day, and I hadn't seen him in a long time so Dave and I chatted with him a bit. After work a bunch of us went over to Betsy's place, apparently to watch brooke and Betsy play Nintendo, and try to get them to eat the remaining Krispy Kremes. Watching Nintendo isn't too entertaining, and although I somehow managed to end up with a controller in my hands for a while and it was better than watching, that bubbles game (don't have a clue what it was called) just doesn't do much for me. After that I went to Noodles with Dave, Joel Calhoun, and brooke. That was good, although I don't think any of us were that hungry. Then we all went over to brooke's place and a ton of people joined us to watch Grosse Pointe Blank as long as one could stay awake. Missing Saturday sleep-in time is a bad thing... Of course then I had to get up for church in the morning, which I managed to stay awake through, partially because I remembered caffeinated mints. Then lunch with the family at J.Cousineau's, even though I was still not hungry because of Saturday. I think I chatted with people for a while, but was tired and don't remember a lot. I did end up upgrading my mythtv install to 0.11 to fix some bugs, and the hardware encoder was a little goofy putting vertical blue and yellow stripes in the picture, so had to shut down and power cycle the box. Works great now though. Watched Die Hard 2 which is another great movie in the Die Hard series. It even had DTS which sorta puzzled me, since DTS wasn't invented yet when the movie first came out... After the movie I found out that Jeff and Dave were looking for me as they were both bored. After chatting for a while about what to do it was finally decided that they'd come over and bring Nate with, and we'd all watch The Transporter. Upon commenting within the first minute that the composer must have liked bass, I was informed that he is a bass player. So yea, the music had as much bass as the explosions, which isn't bad I guess, just unusual. Overall it's a pretty good movie, lots of action, decent plot, although a few continuity issues. Then chatting, and eventually watching the previews of the extended version of Two Towers and the preview of Return of the King. Too much fun on too much caffeine... And I'm in a linking mood, as you've probably noticed if you made it this far. The scary part is I'm too tired to actually look anything up (other than the specific movies and like 2 clicks into the dell site since I started with good intentions), so those are basically the links off the top of my head (yea, I'm way too much of a geek - I did type most in to make sure they hadn't changed though).
