Another one of those getting-along-with-Cynthia rules—one that my family of origin would do well to note. Don’t play crazy-making memory games with me. I had my memories questioned and denied so often in my early life that I: 1) Developed…
Ever Been Zen?
Katie wants to find a song she’s heard on 99X at some point, but which is too old to be on the playlist on their website. She thinks the title is “Ever Been Zen” or something like that. She doesn’t…
LJ Commenting? And Happiness
LJ is all weird. Comments I’ve posted just aren’t there, so I don’t know if they were really posted. ::pout:: I have a Leatherman now, thanks to sambear! Yay! It’s the little Squirt model. My long-time multitool died during our…

DJ Sam
Dear Gods. Sam got this thing that’s allowing him to broadcast to all the radios in the house from his PC, and he’s absolutely dangerous. I love the man, but he’s very, very silly!
Toys!

The Samba server lives! And it serves both printers, and I made a PDF server so that anyone on our LAN can create PDFs. Legally, even. For free. Now I wanna set up a fax server—not that we need to…
