washington grand slams our images
By Eric | August 15, 2002 3:42 pm
Wednesday turned out to be a much calmer day 🙂 Work was pretty good, I was keeping busy mostly the whole day, just doing odds and ends, the usual. I came home, ate dinner, and then went out by myself, a couple of CD stores, nothing huge. I picked up the first Reveille CD at Record Theatre on Main street… woohoo 🙂 Came home to find an IM from Adrienne, so I called her up, and Amanda and I went and got her and headed for our favorite place of all time, Denny’s… We actually got there before 10, so we got the big menu, and the 2.99 grand slam! 🙂 hehe! The waitress was all confused about stuff because she said, “I’m usually never in here before 10”, to which we replied “Neither are we!”. We spent the better part of 2 hours in there, just yapping about nothing… hehe.
Work today was a constant busy… 🙂 The morning was dedicated to getting the new images onto the machines in FOIA. Gotta love whoever they got to make these images. These drive images were not made by us, they were shipped to us on CD from Washington, supposedly all configured, and also came with 128MB of memory upgrades for each machine, plus a new PCI SCSI card to replace the old ISA cards for the special scanners they have. They were nice enough to spell out exactly what steps to take to get everything installed. That’s fine, except for the fact that these are Windows 2000 images, and the drivers for the SCSI card are for Win95!! So after fighting with these things to no avail, Rob on a whim tried running the software without installing the drivers. And lo and behold, it worked! Why? Don’t ask me, I just work here. It makes no sense at all, but it works. I don’t ask. 🙂 This afternoon was patching up the rest of that image, and then working on a way to get a different disk image up to the Rainbow bridge over the network. Fun stuff 🙂
As Scott alluded to, Dave Williams, lead singer of Drowning Pool, was found dead on the bands tour bus yesterday. There obviously was something wrong with him, something did indeed give, and his body naturally hit the floor. 🙂 (I could go on, but I’ll spare ya, Scott wants the submissions anyway!) (Check last posts comments for his email)
And now its raining outside. Yay.
Current mood: just vegging 🙂
song: Reveille – Butterfly (no, not Crazy Town!)
