  • Getting set back up after the move.
    Things have been a bit dodgy over the past couple of days. I haven't written much because of stuff going on at home. Somehow, Leandra's systemware got horked along the way
  • Rhianna gave birth!
    At 2302 EST5EDT last night, our friend Rhianna gave birth to a 6 pound 14 ounce baby girl at a hospital just outside the DC metroplex. Rhianna and Rab named the baby Skya
  • Still alive, just busy. And tired.
    I'll have stuff to post about New Year's. Really. Right now I'm still trying to adjust to something approximating a normal diurnal schedule and not having too much luck at
  • So, where have I been since Snowpocalypse '09?
    Much of the DC metroplex is still digging out from under what has been dubbed Snowpocalypse 2009. At least where I live, the main roads are in pretty good shape, albeit th
  • Another Samhain, more or less.
    Let's try this again, without the "Oops, I just lost everything you wrote." Another Samhain has come and gone, which means that we have yet another chance to make things t
  • Not dead, only sleeping.
    I'm still alive, but with everything going on at work and at home I'm pretty ragged right now. I've been working on an essay or two that I wanted to post but it takes an a
  • Life is so much more interesting when you don't get any REM sleep!
    It's a sure sign that you're trying to accomplish too much when you start forsaking sleep for other things. Lately, work has been running me ragged so to compensate I have
  • Piercings, watermelons in hydraulic presses, and Shakespearean zombies. Oh, my.
    Lyssa and I packed up our stuff and set out around 1100 EST5EDT on Saturday morning in the general direction of Rockville to Laurelinde's place, where we picked up Cate an
  • We lost Pigpen.
    I took Pigpen out to run around the apartment in his ball a couple of days ago and used the opportunity to refill the water and food in his cage. After I put him back he p
  • Life and sleep deprivation.
    Disclaimer: I got three hours of sleep last night because my sleep schedule is screwed. This post will probably not make a whole lot of sense. Lyssa and I organized craft
  • 2079?

  • Wow. My vacuum sucks.
    That is all the lint that was clogging the motor.  I field stripped the carpet sweeper this afternoon and pulled it all out.  Now it'll actually pick stuff up from the ca
  • You're probably wondering where I've been lately.
    By and large, work has been, well, work.  Lots of hours at the office, lots of hours stuck in traffic sweating like Kevin Mitnick during a traffic stop.  When I haven't be

    Last Monday night Lyssa and I took to the DC Beltway in the middle of rush hour, cast caution to the wind, and set course for the Meriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland to

  • I'm here today with absolutely nothing to talk about.. and that's what I want to talk to you about.
    Still not dead. Still not sleeping, either. Work has been keeping me busy lately, but thankfully not due to a certain beastie that was supposed to go off last week. Confli
  • Lost weeks.
    I haven't been posting lately due to the fact Real Life (tm) has been keeping me away from the Net and generally too busy to write about what's been going on. Two weekends
  • It's amazing what a couple of pots of coffee can do.
    It's been one of those weeks where I've got nothing I wanted to get done accomplished, but a great deal that I needed to do got taken care of. Wednesday afternoon was my r
  • Oh, hi.
    I just found my first gray hair. It's right in the front of my forelock, over my left eye.
  • That coughing you hear isn't from consumption.
    At first scratch, it would appear that respiratory troubles are fast becoming part and parcel of my winters in the DC metroplex. Two weeks ago I was fighting off a cold, a

    I spent a good ten minutes marshalling my thoughts to write at least a semi-interesting post about the past couple of days but every time I start typing I can't seem to st
  • No time to write proper posts lately.
    It says something, I think, when someone spends most every day of the past week going to bed at 2100 local time and sleeping clear through until 0600. Plus a nap after com
  • UPDATED: Busy life, busy times, and Greene County redux.
    Work and life's kept me too busy to post much lately, so I'm trying to play catch-up in between driving all over creation for work and finishing preparations for the weddi
  • Busy times.
    I haven't been writing much about what's been going on in my life lately because there's been so much of it. Working out wedding plans, picking out tuxedos, trips to the H
  • Privacy, anonymity, and security, part the first.
    Longtime readers of my weblog are no doubt familiar with my preoccuptation with security, which lead to my working in that field of endeavour, and also my interest in pers
  • Happy (belated) Fourth of July, everyone.
    Contrary to most years, my Fourth of July weekend was far lower in impact and more relaxing this time around than it usually is. I've been running short on sleep for a whi
  • Where's the Doctor?
    Running between work, home, and the bed to sleep, mostly. It's been an unusually long week (and it's not even Friday yet), and rather than write incoherent posts in the ev
  • It seems that I'll be in town for a while, so I'll actually be able to post.
    This is week four of my "three weeks out, one week in" work cycle, so I'll have much more constant net.access for at least a couple of days. I may as well take the time to
  • The Pixies almost had it right.
    Yesterday wasn't so much a wave of mutilation as it was a stormfront of WTF sweeping across the land. While I can't really put my finger on any one trigger event that caus

    Well, let me see... it's been interesting times the past couple of days, which has left me precious little time to write about what's actually been going on with my day to
  • Dammit. I lost the update for this weekend again.

  • Situation report: DC
    Jean and Chandler went home early yesterday morning, something that's taking Lyssa and I a while to get used to. They're almost like family to us, and it feels weird to co
  • A busy couple of days, to be sure.
    The past couple of days have been busy, highly eventful, and fruitful, to be sure, which is why I've only been posting terse updates here and there. Here's what happened:
  • Now I've got some free time, how about a bit more about WtT X?
    What a week. As the Finn once said, "There's no rest for the wicked," and that seems to be the absolute truth anymore. Between driving, running around, paperwork, getting

    I still have to write about the rest of Thresholds, going to see Daywatch, and on Sunday night going to The True Colors Tour to see the Dresden Dolls and Cyndi Lauper perf

    As you've probably guessed, I've been too busy to write at the moment because there are a lot of things happening. This weekend past, Lyssa and I were going crazy getting
  • That's something that I never thought I'd do.
    I proposed to Lyssa Heartsong tonight around 1930 EST5EDT. We're getting married. We don't know when yet, nor do we have any solid plans, but we're getting married. Here's
  • This week is going to get better no matter what.
    "Lyssa Heartsong.. will you marry me?"
  • There just aren't enough hours in the day.
    I haven't been posting much lately because I've been too busy to sit and write anything coherent, save for a quick blurb a few mornings ago. Things are, to be honest, goin

  • Easter weekend 2007 in review, or, "I can't believe we made that much ham!"

  • A snapshot of life, or, why I haven't been writing about what's been going on lately.
    Frankly, I've just been too tired. Not so much physically tired, though that has been creeping up on me over the past day or two, but a sort or weariness that has settled

  • A relaxing Wednesday night hanging around the apartment.

  • Random knowledge IX.
    When all else fails, try doing what you know shouldn't work. I don't care if the docs say it doesn't work, if the FAQ says it doesn't work, if the books say it doesn't wor

    Last night, I got home from work around 1730 EST/EDT. Lyssa worked from home on Tuesday, so she had dinner, one of her Indian cuisine experiments, waiting as I arrived. By
