This is one of my favorite Scrubs moments....

Love that show!  Think it finally jumped the shark when JD (Zach Braff) and company left, though.

All is not lost, however. Even though the show is going off the air, you can get the complete Scrubs series, seaons 1 - 8 for $177.99 w/ free shipping.

Between a co-worker and myself:

(6:20 AM) co-worker: the most amusing part is that it's all in parantheses
(6:21 AM) myself: (I love parentheses (in fact, I've been told that I use too many of them (actually, an old English teacher accused me of writing in LISP (he was a bit of a geek))))
(6:22 AM) co-worker: at least you close all of them
(6:22 AM) myself: I wouldn't want it to fail at compile.

Sometimes my conversations at work just make the whole day worthwhile... the conversation for the day ended on a relatively tame note... we were discussing Houston weather, and I told him be glad he wasn't in tornado country... this ensued (Oh, yes, parental advisory, explicit lyrics...):

(2:49 AM) Me: we broke a record.
(2:50 AM) Me: record was 28 back in 1997.
(2:50 AM) Co Worker: I'm pretty tired of "breaking records" in houston
(2:50 AM) Co Worker: Ike worst storm in x years
(2:50 AM) Co Worker: coldest shit
(2:50 AM) Co Worker: just
(2:50 AM) Co Worker: Houston
(2:50 AM) Co Worker: figure it the fuck out.
(2:50 AM) Me: lol
(2:50 AM) Me: at least you're not in kansas
(2:51 AM) Me: then you'd have to worry about
(2:51 AM) Me: biggest tornado outbreak in x years
(2:51 AM) Me: biggest motherfuckin nasty-ass tornado ever
(2:51 AM) Me: most pieces of straw driven through your little homie while you tried to hold on to a pipe, screaming while the wind tried to drag you away, ever
(2:51 AM) Me: you know.
(2:51 AM) Me: just kansas.
(2:51 AM) Me: normal shit.
(2:51 AM) Me: cows.
(2:52 AM) Me: chickens through telephone poles.
(2:52 AM) Me: day to day crap.
(2:52 AM) Co Worker: hahah
(2:52 AM) Co Worker: in Los Angeles, they'd say the same about Texas.
(2:52 AM) Co Worker: nuh uh, it's too hot over there.
(2:52 AM) Co Worker: Hurricanes!
(2:52 AM) Me: Yeah well..
(2:52 AM) Me: at least I went my whole life without having to learn how to dive underneath my desk every time the ground moved!
(2:53 AM) Me: I may have a lot of things to be afraid of, but _everything that I stand, walk, move, operate, or live on, around, in or near_ is not one of them.

The day started off even better than that....  we have a very few employees that work in our remote offices.  The joke started a long time ago when the company moved from their old location to their current one. Apparently when we upgraded offices, the remote employees, be they in any of the company's remote locations, keep getting downgraded to smaller and smaller offices.  (All joking aside, the remote offices are pretty much like the local ones. Just on a smaller scale.)  Regardless, apparently their are a lot of towers in India, where companies rent tower-top offices for their employees... or at least in my imagination...

(2:26 AM) Me: and they work like 7 days a week or something.
(2:26 AM) Me: eesh
(2:26 AM) Co Worker: Think so.  In a small office.
(2:26 AM) Co Worker: together
(2:26 AM) Co Worker: It's 145pm MOnday, in India.
(2:26 AM) Me: They work with [a remote admin, my superior]?
(2:27 AM) Co Worker: yeah
(2:27 AM) Me: ah
(2:27 AM) Me: let me guess. Small, triangular shaped office.  One on each wall?
(2:27 AM) Me: heh
(2:27 AM) Co Worker: hahaha
(2:27 AM) Me: trap door in the middle...
(2:27 AM) Me: office is at the top of a tower.
(2:27 AM) Co Worker: HAHAHAH
(2:27 AM) Me: rent's cheap
(2:28 AM) Me: but the owl's and bats roosting overhead get annoying.
(2:28 AM) Co Worker: HAHAHAHA
(2:28 AM) Me: have to keep replacing monitors when they fizzle and die from bird crap
(2:28 AM) Me: and don't even get _statrted_ about the white stuff on the keyboard...

...You don't even want to see the living conditions I came up with for the folks in the Florida offices.  Let's just say that beach access is easy to come by when you only have to open the flap.  It's the rogue waves you have to watch out for, though. They really screw with equipment. And rfc1149 networking is a bitch during hurricanes.

...yeah, I amuse way too easily... see this for proof.

Sometimes there are no words to describe the beauty that is the Internet...

This is what happens when I'm under the influence of pain medication, wake up before anyone else in the house, can't get back to sleep, have too much chocolate, don't feel 100%, and am slightly bored...

Now, I just need to figure out if it's possible to include a callout at that point in exim.conf to a perl script that will randomize the connect messages.

Sometimes, there are things I come across online, that I just have to share... The Lord's Prayer in Pijjin is one of these things.  Here's the text:

God, you our Fadda, you stay inside da sky.
We like all da peopo know fo shua how you stay,
An dat you stay good an spesho,
An we like dem give you plenny respeck.
We like you come King fo everybody now.
We like everybody make jalike you like,
Ova hea inside da world,
Jalike da angel guys up inside da sky make jalike you like.
Give us da food we need fo today an every day.
Hemmo our shame, an let us go
Fo all da kine bad stuff we do to you,
Jalike us guys let da odda guys go awready,
And we no stay huhu wit dem
Fo all da kine bad stuff dey do to us.
No let us get chance fo do bad kine stuff,
But take us outa dea, so da Bad Guy no can hurt us.
Cuz you our King.
You get da real power,
An you stay awesome foeva.
Dass it!

I've been gone for a while. In the hospital. More information on that, later.  For now, here's a video on Barak Obama.
