OK, OK, OK, -1, -1, -2, -2, -3, incap, regenerating, dead.
I haven't been posting a whole lot lately since Lyssa and I got back from Pittsburgh two weekends ago; we'd gone home to finalize the wedding plans that remained, such as getting hold of the marriage license, agreeing on the floral arrangements, and whatnot. Unfortunately, this involved a lot of driving, totalling out in the neighborhood of twelve hours behind the wheel, a bit more if you factor in actually driving to and from Pennsylvania itself.
The first thing we ran into was the wedding license. To save ourselves some time and energy we decided to go to the Greene …Read more...

Seen while on the road.
While en route to Saloncon a few weeks ago, we came across

Just like your friends, don't abandon your boxen, either.
A basic maxim of information security is that when someone has physical access to a machine, all bets are off. If someone can touch a box, they can do pretty much whatever they want to it: if the console is unlocked they can poke around at whatever the access privileges of the logged in account will allow (how many of you configure your screensavers to require a password to turn off? how many of you walk away without logging out?), and possibly copy data to a removable storage device, such as a USB key. An intruder can also power the …

I'm not dead, I'm just at incap!
The trip that Lyssa and I took to Pittsburgh this weekend to finalize wedding preparations has all but wiped me out. Between all the driving, not sleeping a whole lot lately, and possibly getting some bad Chinese food while in the old neighborhood, I'm clinging to life and consciousness with the nails of all twenty digits. I'll post when I can walk around without weaving as if I'm drunk and when my stomach and I are on speaking terms once again.

Saloncon 2008: Adventure! Excitement! Romance! Sleep deprivation!
I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last Thursday night due to getting ready for Saloncon 2008 and general problems getting a decent amount of rest these days. I think that part of it's the unusually high pollen count in the DC area right now and part of it's the air conditioning filter in the apartment (which Lyssa is having fixed today due to the fact that we can't get into the locked room in which the air conditioner is installed). Also, wedding stress is starting to mount with the end more than an month away. At any rate …

What a weekend.
Lyssa, Laurelinde, and I returned from Saloncon about four hours ago. We're dead tired.
I'm going to bed.
What a weekend. What an adventure.
What a success.Read more...
