I know of a temporary job doing some web development for the state of NC. ASP, .Net and possibly some Cold Fusion. It is 40-hours/week (or however many hours a state employee typically works. heh.), on site, and should last 4-6 weeks. Oh, and it starts immediately.

I’m the proud owner of a UHF Radio Repeater System. Now, what to do with it?

I helped my friend Mike install Windows 9x on his iBook using the freeware emulator QEMU. To his surprise and mine, everything worked perfectly, aside from some minor keyboard mapping problems.

QEMU is teh bomb. I’m going to use it to install OS X on my Dell Latitude laptop.

On my way to work I spotted the vans of F. Scott Davis Chimney Sweep Inc.

Their slogan? “Your ASH is mine!”

For those of you who asked, ultrasound pictures of The Boy are now up

The MyDoom virus has returned, this time bringing web search engines to a crawl. I just got my first copy, and I feel left out.

As always, don’t open attachments without scanning them. And switch to Linux or OS X. Anything is better than Windows.
