This tough year’s end draw’s nigh. After the 11th lets let it finish with a bang!

Defiant, I want you sniping; Killer, you’re on the Negev; Chief, lets take them out. After the 11th I am free until next year! Lets have ourselves a big LAN-party!

Christmas is coming!

From the Your-Tax-Dollars-Wasted-Dept.
It looks like LA County Officials have banned the term, “Master/Slave” from use in computer hard drives and video equipment.

Under orders from the affirmative action office, county departments have surveyed about 1,000 pieces of equipment and taped over “master/slave” and put “primary/secondary” on the equipment, officials said.

This is just great news! For more information read the artical at the L.A. Daily News [dead link, no web archive].

The Falcon Mainframe crashed. It took about 40 minutes to bring her back up and another 20 to check her operations. Everything seems to be fine, a few minor glitches but nothing that can’t wait until tomorrow.

My uptime record is: 229 days, 20 hours, and 33 minutes.

The fire still rages elsewhere but its pretty much contained over here. Some of our friends lost their houses, James McDermith passed on to Glory, and smoke still fills the air. An amazement to me, which probably shouldn’t have been is the tremendous amount of offers for support that were given. My friends said they could put us up if we lost the house, and everyone east of California called to check in on us and pray for us. I really do appreciate all your prayers, and the help and hospitality you offered.
