It doesn’t feel like a year.

One year ago today, I lost my best friend, partner, and wife of eleven years. I love you, Amy.
I now seem to own a silver bucket.
Suggestions (please leave them on Facebook, not here) on what to do with it are welcome.
From “fourteen years ago today”. An old friend and ex-coworker sent me this, found while digging through mail archives.

Jeff's comment, "No matter how bad things get, they'll never be as bad as duplicating install disks for Win95 at ioNET."
When I tell people that I was a country radio DJ for four years in high school instead of flipping burgers, they tend to not believe me.
Well, here you go. 103.7 FM KRPT, Anadarko, Oklahoma. This was 1993 or so.
Thanks to my very good friend Cassandra for the picture, which she sent along with many others taken when we were dating sixteen years ago.

I should probably upgrade the IOS image on this switch (this is what it shipped with), but I don’t have a Cisco CCO account with access to download the latest version.
According to Typealyzer, this blog is:
ESTJ – The Guardians
The organizing and efficient type. They are especially attuned to setting goals and managing available resources to get the job done. Once they´ve made up their mind on something, it can be quite difficult to convince otherwise. They listen to hard facts and can have a hard time accepting new or innovative ways of doing things.
The Guardians are often happy working in highly structured work environments where everyone knows the rules of the job. They respect authority and are loyal team players.
I don’t entirely agree, as I’ve gotten commended at work in the past due to my innovative ways of solving problems.
When taking an online Meyers-Briggs test, I usually get identified as an ISTJ.
Hurricane season is coming up, so I ordered a few “Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight” from Amazon in black, blue, and gunmetal colors. They were only $5.50 each, so I ordered five of them to qualify for free shipping.
The package arrived today, and I proceeded to de-blister-pack all of them.

Then I noticed the disclaimer on the back:
I think these may qualify to be the World’s Most Dangerous Flashlight, and an example of overkill on a warning label. I blame California.
