Today went well. I started off the day by driving over to the Comcast office and dropping off the HD box and canceling all the video service. They're gonna send someone to trap the video on Wednesday supposedly. After Dave's ordeal who knows what'll happen though. As long as my cable modem doesn't die I probably won't know (I haven't had a TV connected to the cable for months). After that JoeBuck™ and I went to Chipotle for lunch. Burritos are good. I then went and restocked the dew in the office, as well as acquired some canned food items for the department Christmas party. Bringing those things is a great idea and all, but for those of us who don't normally keep that type of stuff around... It becomes like the Chipotle free burrito day. Maybe that's why I remembered it. I stopped by and bugged the coworkers a bit. The Ogo AIM portals also freaked out for most of the afternoon, and Cingular kept duplicating SMS messages too. We'll see how long this thing sticks around. The rest of the day was spent sitting around, as well as fighting Bethel's horrible latency to try and eliminate some pages. Which didn't work apparently as my phone is beeping and vibrating right now... Actually they're not Dave's servers this time - it's the network being broken again. The server is "OK" now (defined as Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 2088.30 ms). Anyways, some interesting links were acquired. Want to know what happens when you give a writer a camera? It's actually rather funny, especially if you know anything about what the normal photo guys go through. Then there's the case where someone leaves a voicemail telling someone "God hates you and he wants to kill your children," along with a work phone number, and the predictable results. Then there's Roseville being a big shopping area. I'm pretty indifferent on that one, other than I don't mind the fact that there's a lot of different restaurants in close proximity to work.
