Oh what, you mean to say that moving my one main Access Point for wireless service impacts the performance results of my QA testing of our product, the wireless sensors? Gee fucking whiz.

For a while I was struggling to fill up the pages but wanted to get through my 10th anniversary and write about our trip to NH. I'm not sure if it's coincidence that I stopped writing after a dear friend passed away not long after that. With all that being said, I killed the blog once before and it came back in this form. I'm sure I'll be writing again soon but for the time being FB and Twitter reach a larger (albeit brief and superficial) audience. |

| Watched Conan last night, the first time I've watched any of them in years. I accidentally came across him between periods of the mighty Blackhawks game. DVRed it and came back after the victory. It was pretty damned funny. I'm actually amazed NBC is letting him continue on as he's having a field day with it. Robin Williams came on and immediately flipped off the NBC Tower in the (fake) background and pretended to show them his willie. Then he pretty much tore NBC a new one the whole time he was on. It was like he was saying everything Conan couldn't say himself. Tonight should be a treat. I can't see Leno possibly raising the ratings at all after this. This thing really blew up in NBC's face. Carson and Paar must be rolling over in their graves right about now, or maybe just looking down on this and laughing their asses off.d |
