Bits And Bits<\/b><\/p>\n

Firstly, if you’ve tried to send me email in the last 48 hours, I haven’t read it because Network Solutions can’t decide where to point my domain. It wouldn’t hurt them to consider pointing it where I told them to, but who can say what’s cooking in their fevered brains? Maybe they’re positioning themselves as agents for change<\/i>. I just wish that they hadn’t decided to change my stuff.<\/p>\n

Jaunty Democratic Convention Analysis:<\/b> Al Gore gets software upgrade, seems much more lifelike in speech, text-to-speech capabilities improved but inflection needs work (inflection algorithm ends each sentence in rallying cry). Dissenters locked in pen, allowed time to concentrate. Margaret Cho disinvited to speak, might say something provocative and unequivocal. <\/p>\n

Work Update<\/b> Couldn’t complete the peecee installation on Saturday, so how about first thing on Monday? While the dispatchers were working? On those very same peecees? I like those guys a lot, but not enough to stick my hands under their hands to change settings and add printers, and that’s what ended up happening. They were good-natured about all of the fuss, but really… We should have got it right the first time, while they were away.<\/p>\n

Then I spent the afternoon chasing a broken network connection to a remote office to find out that it may not be broken at all! Maybe it’s a bad motherboard after all, and wouldn’t that be exciting? No, it wouldn’t. Testing that theory waits for tomorrow. Bah. More jobs not yet done.<\/p>\n

Jeepster Update<\/b> Time for the dwell meter. I changed the points and cap and rotor making what had been a hiccuping acceleration into a smooth purr. Gee, who knew all you had to do was throw parts at the thing to make it okay? Fine tuning awaits, but it fired right up after the installation. Small miracles do happen!<\/p>\n

That’s it in a nutshell (accent on “nut” – ed<\/i> Thanks for that. – bob). You’ll get much more during this week, especially once I resolve the bobtherieau.com problem.<\/p>\n

Your best pal,<\/p>\n
