Sleep come to me my elusive mistress!

Well, last night was definately not as restful as the night before. After removing a bunch of accounts (shell access anyway) on ufies.org (due to a DoS attack) it was about midnight. Around then I checked my mail and Cuv from work had asked me to change a DNS entry for his new domain. No biggie, but in watching the system messages when doing it I noticed some errors with another part of my DNS setup. So an hour later that was finally resolved (took more searching and gimping than it should have) and by that point I needed a little urban terror [archive.org link] (oh yea…..).

Course, about then I noticed that a new patch for quake3, and of course I had to get it and report on it [archive.org link]. Needless to say it was a late night for me.

Then I come home today and discover firefly and fireflymom have returned to my place, along with 3 dogs, one of which has had a little “incident” with a skunk. They went for a walk with Circe today or something and Sasha (one of the dogs being dog-sat) came upon a skunk and decided to play, or sniff it’s butt, or something. Either way there is a faint lingering smell that seems to be a combination of dog, skunk, ketchup, vinegar, and skunk-b-gone (or some sort of any skunk-smell stuff). It’s going away, but it was definately a surprise to come home to. The cats were locked up in the bedroom, and I’m sure they weren’t too happy about the whole thing either 🙂

Achoo!

‘scuse me. Allergies. Sucks.

Today was more of the “find the random, un-reproducable, different every time, curruption” bug that’s been my El-Guapo for the last couple of days. It’s been pushed to the top of the stack of stuff to do, and I was going to work on it more tonight but I ended up going out to dinner with firefly, fireflymom, and 3 smelly dogs. Left the dogs in the car, had sushi. Yum. Pumped some plastic at the rock gym with Cat5 afterwards as well, that was good. We’re trying to train better, working with endurance a bit more by getting a moderate climb (this case a semi-overhanging or vertical 5.9) and going up it without stopping several times. Gets a really good forearm pump going, and gets us sweating and getting a good cardio workout. This is a good thing of course, getting us to the point of muscle failure, when you grip and grip but your hands just don’t do anything and eventually you try to grab something that’s not some huge jug, and grease off very unceremoniously.

Lets just say my fingers hurt now 🙂 (but again, that’s a good thing).
