 Well hello there world! As it turns out, running a set of VM's and playing games works on the same machine, but not very well (Even a super beefy one). So as to meet both goals, I will temporarily be keeping the site on the server it lives on. I will eventually find a new home for it, but for now it stays where it is. Other than that, I don't have much news. I do have a boat load of work this week so there may be some sporadic updates. I'll be testing out a new webcam floater gave me a while back, to see if I can put together some low resolution video and convert it to flash for a webcast. I'll see how that works out. That aside, not much else to tell. So here are your updated goodies from ATN:
Nic Cage as everyone - I keep trying to get out : But this site keeps pullin me back in! This is a new movement on the interwebz to photoshop Nic Cage's face onto everything. Some of them are so good it's difficult to tell it's shopped. ZOMG! A smiling dog - Look it thinks it's human! : Nothing like an anthropomorphic dog to pick up your day! American middle class get ready to be f**ked - Backdoor taxes coming in 2010 : I wonder if when you become president you are injected with some serum that instantly makes you hate the middle class. YAY lets f**k the middle class AGAIN! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying taxes to help out, especially in times like these, but even it out across the board for Christ's sake. China warns Obama not to meet Dahli Lama - Don't do it..... doooooon't do it : If I were Obama, I would throw the Dahli Lama the biggest party of all time, in Tokyo or something about as close to China as I could get. It would be like an MTV sweet sixteen party on crack. It would be televised, and broadcast across the world. Spray on glass about to revolutionize everything - Sort of..... I think : Hey! You stepped on some glass and got some in your foot? Here, spray some glass on it! But no really. It does hold some serious promise. It will probably come in handy in the medical and food industries, as glass is much more sterile than other porous surfaces. Classes on abstinence can delay teen sex? - Yeah sure. I believe that : Can all you right wing wingnuts do me a favor and just go find the nearest gun, stick it in your mouth and pull the trigger? Thanks. Kids are gonna have sex no matter what. If you teach them abstinence, then you won't have time to teach them about prophalactics. Then when they have sex, they will have it unprotected and spread disease and raise unwanted pregnancy rates. I swear the religeous right is trying to bring us back into the goddamn dark ages. Apparently I'm going to have to home school my kids because the government is too impotent to doo anything about it these days. Kthxbai. Last surviving american-born WWI vet celebrates his 109th - That is one tough man : Apparently even old age can't kill him. 33 Haitian children returned home - After good Christian Baptists kidnap them : I love how they are all incredulous like they didn't know what they were doing was wrong. The old dissapearing water trick - This chick gets owned : Too bad I posted this already, cause my wife would totally fall for this...... Chat Roulette - A site that connects you to random strangers : With webcam and audio support. The only reason I put this up here is it's all over the goddamn internet now, and it appears there are some serious shennanigans going on that you might not want to miss out on. Keep in mind it's frequented by teenagers and there are some creepy ass mother f**kers on there too. But it should provide some entertainment should you get bored. There is a very good explanation of what it consists of here.

Good morning, good afternoon and good Friday to you! May the beers flow, the music resound and the men and women fall at your feet! It's 9:40 am and I'm just getting into my first cup of coffee. Work has been especially brutal this week. One of the only hard drives with critical data in my entire organization that was not being backed up failed terminally last friday and was sent to a data recovery center. They orignally quoted 31 hours. It's been a week now. As of this writing one of our production DB servers has decided to take a crap. And we're buiding out a clustered Drupal CMS system for our coporate website in the EC2 cloud, that my boss won't let me touch. YAY! Other than that I'm good. I recently finished writing a screenplay. Sort of. It's a first draft. I'm going over it with my family now, to see how they recieve it. If they give me the green light I might try shopping it around. We'll see. Either way I've got a few goodies for you today. Being back on the interwebz lately has gotten me back into digging up some pretty great stuff. So let's get to it!
Okey dokey. Well I'm now in the process of putting an action plan together for upgrading our clustered SAN (NetApp) and after that zeroing and initiating a new 1 TB Fiber Channel Disk Shelf for it. Turns out the shelf we bought from our partner nearly a year ago is finally going in, and it took me nearly a week to figure out that it was already associated with another filer. Go figure. On top of that we're scrambling to bring on a gigantic frickin client and I'm preparing to move all of our data center assets to a managed solution. Fun fun fun. On top of that I'm also researching Amazon's EC2 cloud to see if it would be a good temporary home for our corporate website. So needless to say, I don't have much time to do these updates, but I've found myself in the position today, where I don't want to work for the next hour or so. So I figured, I'd gather up all the little nuggets from ATN and pile them all in a little corner for your inspection. Let me know what you think!
