Built a Debian box to serve as a file server/network bridge/firewall/footstool/web server/mail server this evening. I love doing cool things with old, crappy boxes. It’s name is chupacabra, and it currently sits at the head of our internal network acting as traffic cop. Fun!

I was supposed to call the police when I got home. Damn. I forgot. Tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow.

Time for bed.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to take this time to present to you, one of the most beautiful women in the world. Hold your breath, boys.

Sometime Sunday night, someone backed into the front of my truck and drove off. It wasn’t until last night that I realized what happened (as the damage was not that bad). I called the Carrollton Police Department. They told me that I should call them again when I get home from work, and they will send out an officer to file a report with. I called my insurance company. They told me that since I don’t have uninsured motorist coverage, that this is covered under my collision policy which has a $500 deductible.

How annoying.

Once… many years ago… when I was younger and stupider, I did the same thing to someone. I was pulling out of my girlfriend’s driveway late at night and I backed into the side of a car parked across the street. I thought about leaving a note… but only for a few seconds. Then I took off down the street. I guess this is just payback.

Thanks, Karma. Are you ever going to be on my side?

I told myself some time ago that if you ever remembered my name I would give you my phone number.

Yesterday, you remembered.
