VIVA LA DAYLIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Published by Nathan Powell on March 16, 2009 under running

I left work around 5:30, drove back to Carlisle and and still had time to pull a 4 miler at the barracks before dark.

Sweet mother of mercy I hate the dark.

I like that guy

I like that guy that misses trash day by like 1 hour, and then leaves his bag at the curb for the week.

I like him, because it’s like he stands for something. It’s like he’s saying: “I stand for more flexible meanings for ‘Garbage Day’, and I am going to live in world with that flexibility.”

Things I have been into lately…

1. I have been running a fair amount for the last month. Averaging 14-17 miles a week. My heel feels pretty good and overall I am healthy. It will soon be time to think about something a little more regular

2. FreeBSD. For some odd reason I have been bitten by the *BSD bug and have been making vm’s of them, and have been reading the Handbook for FreeBSD. The documentation is fantastic. Although it is a little dated. Most of the partitioning guide talks about multibooting OS’s that no one would still be using.

3. Shooting zombies online in the game Left4Dead. So much fun. Highly recommend it.

4. Went to Hollywood Casino with my girlfriend and her parents. We had a lot of fun. However the smoke was a little much to bear. I had a headache from it yesterday. I was actually a little surprised to see that they allowed smoking. The really stupid thing is that it’s this huge open air building, and there are non-smoking sections. Cheers to the fun, jeers to the smoke.

5. I have been attempting to get into Robert Jordan’s first book in the Wheel of Time series. So far, it’s not taking. I need to sit down uninterrupted for a few hours and get into it.

6. Work is going well. I have been virtualizing a lot of stuff. Setting up Nagios, and hacking on some Google Maps for a customer app. We also started migrating our directory server from FedoraDS to OpenDS. My LDAP skills were non-existent before hand, and now I can at least get around on it.

I think that about sums up my life at the moment. I am sure as soon as I publish this, I’ll remember something else.

K, later.
