Let us take count of what we have and what’s to come.

Happy 2012 everyone. 365 to go.

About the museum: Now that I’m at the new place, I have much more room for equipment, and because it’s in the basement on a concrete floor I can acquire much heavier stuff without worrying about the house collapsing.

I’ve cleaned up the computer room/museum, too. Here’s what “clean” looks like. Trust me, it was a nightmare about 5 hours ago.

This is what it looks like, August 2011, in "tidy" mode. You don't want to know what "messy" mode is.

Also – work on the file server, and replacing door knobs.

FUN!    ahem…

I’m making a note here: I’M DISTRESSED!

It’s hard to work on this thing after work.

I am still alive and I want to complete the theme, but I have no energy after work the past few weeks – that’s kinda how my job goes. I get a few weeks of quiet and I have energy to work on the theme, and then I have a few weeks of INSANE and I barely have enough energy to feed myself and crawl into bed.

Don’t worry, I am committed to getting all your suggestions into the theme, get all the bugs fix, get out of beta and release on time.

Oh, and the cake is not a lie – it’s just so far afield it’s difficult to see right now.

I am not entirely certain the purpose of your message. You sent me a message giving me the WHOIS information for the Inanis.net domain (that anyone can find), then taunted me by giving me a “Tor” IP address like you were trying to hide where you were (which was 66.230.230.230 based in California – likely fake because of the repeating numbers). You gave your email address as a Mailinator address (M8R-lc06bv@mailinator.com) so you presumably couldn’t be tracked.

By the way: My contact script gave me a different IP from the one you said was your Tor IP. This IP, which I am going to presume is either your real IP (or your Tor address rolled while you were typing your message ) which is 94.23.44.129, which originates in France.

In any case, I still don’t know the purpose of your message. You wanted to show me information I already know? You were trying to extort something from me using information unsuitable for the purpose? You were trying to get my real email address for spamming purposes? Maybe I’m being a bit presumptuous, but I think I’m safe.

Not sure what you were going for, but at the very least, I found your reference to ROFLCoptor amusing.

Two points for you.

*watches the stupid box*

Here: let us translate these apostrophied words into their full and obvious meanings to see if the resultant sentence is coherent.

“Silly Boy is Truck is are for Girls”.

An alternative translation might be the following fragment:

“The Truck of “are for Girls” of the Silly Boy …”

Does that make sense? Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

I won’t claim to always get things right when spelling or speaking, but in the context of vehicle lettering – there’s no reason not to get it right. What I am most curious about is this: did the customer get it wrong and the vendor, acting in “the customer is always right” mode did not have the guts to correct the customer, or did the customer get it right and the vendor got it wrong? Alternative theory: both parties got it wrong and absolutely no one caught the problem until it was too late.

I die a little inside each day living here…

Working on Saturday sucks, but it pays the bills. Trying to figure out some odd glitch on a client machine with Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5. Windows installer/LiveUpdate tries to install updates for the thing, and fails. The application itself fails to run. Right clicking in an Explorer window and selecting ANY function crashes the shell after a few seconds. WEIRD!

I want to set up the Inanis Sandbox, so you can see what I’m working on and I can play with WordPress junk without killing Inanis.net. I have a sandbox running, but there’s no content. I’ll have to work on that.
