  • Bath administered, Dr. Dolittle read, vitamins given, teeth brushed, pajamas donned, goodnight kissed. I love being a dad. #
  • Just seen in my Gutsy -> Hardy upgrade terminal: "Removing liboobs-1.3…" Hehe. #
  • Apparently the Hardy upgrade is now complete. Time to restart! #
  • …and we're back, running on Hardy. Hooray! #
  • I heart Hardy Heron. Ubuntu FTW. #
  • VITA is here, handing out the new laptops. Sadly, I am not among the first to receive one. Tomorrow, perhaps. #
  • They are HP 64bit dual-core jobbies with 2GB of RAM. Not too bad for gubmint issue. #
  • Incidentally, everything is HP now. DEQ gets hardware from VITA, which is run by Northrop Grumman, which has a deal with HP, I guess. #
  • Interesting side note: Northrop Grumman owns every PC and server used in the Virginia state government. #
  • If the state ever ends the contract, they either pull all the machines, or sell them back to us for more money than the state can pay. #
  • So: Northrop Grumman's contract will never ever be pulled. You can see why they are in this business. #
  • Hacking on PearBudget a bit. #
  • Triumphant after attacking my lawn with a gasoline-powered ruminant. #
  • I'm a world-record-holding baby-wrangler. Just sayin'. #
