Another Word for Nerd

I don’t think I’ve ever been that sick before, ever, in my life.

Here’s a small timeline.
Monday 11/1: Eh, its just the flu.
Tuesday 11/2: The doctor sends me home with pneumonia.
I spend election night feverishly hallucinating (oh wait, I guess Bush DID win after all..)
Wednesday 11/3 through Monday 11/8: A blur. I sleep about 18 hours a day.
Friday 11/5: Oh? I turn 30 today? wheee! *passout*
Tuesday 11/9: I start to feel almost okay for the first time in a week.
Wednesday 11/10: Okay, going to the corner store still tires me out.
Thursday 11/11: I can breathe semi-normally.

It sucks that I ended up using my vacation time sick in bed.

Firefox 1.0 was released today.

Mac users might want to grab one of the unofficial G4 or G5 optimized builds.

Now if I can just get Amy moved off of MSIE, everything will be great…

I bought an Astro Pop at Cracker Barrel earlier today.

My question is - didn’t these things used to have the pointy end opposite the stick/handle? If so, political correctness and safety have run rampant.

I know I turned 30 yesterday, but does Amazon have to remind me already?

At least it wasn’t Depends..

P.S. I’ll find my frog who took my frog who found my frog.

Both Amy and I have been sick for the past few days. She started feeling ill over the weekend on our trip to Houston, and I caught it on Monday. Yesterday (well, Tuesday) I went to the doctor and they ended up putting me on 500mg a day of Levaquin after diagnosing me with pneumonia. This is some pretty serious medication - two days later, I’m feeling better. Some of those listed side effects are scary - why don’t they just say “we don’t know what it will do; MAY CAUSE DEATH”?

I spent election evening half-delirious with fever, being taken care of by Amy, who was still sick too (its nice to have someone who wipes your forehead and face when you’re too weak from vomiting to do it yourself).

I voted for Kerry, and was disappointed with the results. On one hand, I have to say “What a wuss, for giving up and and conceding the election before they even finished counting” - but on the other, I have to say “Thanks for not dragging us through weeks of recounts and legal challenges like 2000.” Only time will tell if America made the right choice.

I can love my country without liking my President.

I took pictures of the two Mini-ITX PCs I’ve built so far: take a look at my backup server and the in-progress Asterisk PBX server.

I turn 30 on Friday. Birthdays don’t really seem to matter that much anymore.
