A to Z meme. Stolen from Emily and Jet.
accent: I sound like a Californian who grew up with parents who had an upstate New York accent who has lived in Texas for the last half of his life. Most people say I have the pace and inflection of Quentin Tarantino. This, by the way, is [...]

In a very strange twist of events, someone who I never imagined would find my writings online found my writings online. Thankfully, despite the fact that I had written quite a lot about them, they turned out to be decent about the whole thing, quite cool, and actually sent me a link to their own [...]

Yes. Oh Yes. GMail has IMAP now.

Ok… you can breathe again.

1. Who eats more?
I do. Although, lately, she eats very little but very often, so it's hard to tell. Generally speaking, though, me.

2. Who said "I love you" first?
I don't really remember. Probably me.

3. Who is the morning person?
Totally me. Not only do I get up the earliest, but I actually like being up that [...]

After fiddling with EVMS for most of the night I finally managed to rearrange the drives and restore all of my data from the backup drive and still make it to bed at a moderately reasonably hour (though my wife was well asleep by then).
Except I forgot one thing: my backup software was still running.

I don't think today could get much worse.
On top of everything else, I got a bad disk. But I'm a good techno-weenie so I had a nice tasty backup nearby. I even had a spare disk in the closet. Unfortunately, Linux Volume Manager is not happy about the fact that I have a Physical Volume [...]

Aside from the fact that 75% of my friends would like to be at Jet and Ryan's movie marathon happening that same weekend that I tried to have the "Welcome Home" party, (I should have actually checked my schedule), some of my dearest friends can't make it at all. So October 20th isn't going to [...]
