I was surprised to hear that our neighbor Dave (not the hottie) was denied a job this week because he had a misdemeanor on his record. This really surprised me as Dave’s a Grade-AAAAAA Christian who I couldn’t image doing anything wrong, much less something misdemeanor worthy. Turns out that if you’re found [...]

After getting everyone’s email migrated from Exchange 2003 over to Squirrelmail, I was relatively proud of the work I had accomplished yesterday.

(Actually, I very much like Windows 2003 and have no [...]
After powerboating myself to work today (and can I just say that there’s absolutely no smell worse than brackish swamp water that’s been stirred up by an hour of heavy downpours?), I checked the WVEC.com radar to see if I should be looking for an ark dealer.

So I’m digging this new WordPress theme, which is a “hot mess” for me because as sharp as it looks, it was written for Apache webservers (which I’m not running), so most of the features don’t work.
My friends Andy and Michelle are in the process of trying replacing their Windows network at home with Linux [...]
