Department Of Redundancy Department

The daily grind at work has not been all that satisfying lately. I suppose the repetition has begun to wear on my the way Vann long ago said it would. I try to add a little creativity into each demo. That’s usually enough to keep my engaged. But now I’m doing some scripted presentations which take all the fun out of things. If I don’t find a way to jazz these up I believe I’ll quickly go nuts.

The road trips I’ve taken seem like the best parts now. I love the unknown territory each one presents. There’s no doubt that exploring is a big part of my personality. I value the new friendships I’ve made on each trip, as well as the skills I take from every one. If it weren’t for the extended time away from my wonderful family, I’d be happy with the traveling.

I suppose I’ll have to be more creative in how I do my job, so that I can focus on those fun things that made it so thrilling at the start. My job satisfaction is largely up to me.

Red Hat Packages Page Created

I’ve created a page for some of the RPMs I build. You can find things like wx200d and gwx (for the weather station), Liferea (the Linux newsreader), and other goodies. They’re mostly for Fedora Core, but I do have some Red Hat Linux 9 RPMS to add once I get a chance.

Check ’em out on the package page. Linkage on the right of this page, too.

Threading The Moon

Whoa!!
A 100-foot asteroid will just miss the Earth Thursday night. Any time a rock comes close enough to pass between the Earth and the Moon, it’s a close call. Fortunately, this one will miss. But there’s no shortage of Doomsday Rocks flying around out there.

I’m wondering if I can get a newsfeed for the Near Earth Orbit mailing lists, or some other sort of heads-up. I’d like to know when I’m spending my last few minutes alive. 🙂

I found out about this one from Fark. Funny how when the real rock comes a-callin’, I’ll likely find out about it from Fark.

It’s Tourney Time, Baybeeee!

Oh no. There goes any productivity I’d hope to accomplish today. It’s the first day of the NCAA Tournament. Non-stop college basketball for days on end.

Spring really is my favorite time of year! Heh.
