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.
