WBUR - Listening Center

Hah! I can listen to special coverage of the Fitzgerald press release. They’re doing special coverage. Dubya is supposed to come on in 10 minutes to say that Libby is innocent until proven guilty and that Bush has never met the man.

This is my guess.

Looks like work modified their firewall so I can listen to streaming audio from WBUR.

ABC News: Scooter’ Libby Indicted in CIA Leak Case

I got this email a few minutes ago:

Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:

http://abcnews.go.com?CMP=EMC-1396

This isn’t helpful news!! This isn’t “breaking” news! This isn’t news! They’re saying “Something has happened, but we don’t know what!!”

Grrrr!!!

I spent three flipping hours this morning trying to resolve a problem with a development and quality assurance servers. This morning our server and network teams decided to reset the network card configuration so it would start using gigabit ethernet instead of 100/full.

Great.

That shouldn’t have any bearing on why my application won’t connnect to the database. They’re on the same machine. But its CONCEIVABLE that the change did something unintended. So I spent three hours trying to track down the problem.

FINALLY a DBA says, oh by the way, we installed some new software on those two machines that changed the PATH environment variable so SAP was trying to connect to Oracle with an incompatible DLL!!

THREE HOURS!

And they knew what I was doing for the last TWO hours! This is what kills me. They don’t let people know what’s going on. If I had known there was new software that had been recently installed I wouldn’t have been so focused on the network.

Razzafrazzagrazzit!!!

He’s what?!

CNN.com - George Takei, ‘Trek’s’ Sulu: I’m gay - Oct 28, 2005

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — George Takei, who as helmsman Sulu steered the Starship Enterprise through three television seasons and six movies, has come out as a homosexual in the current issue of Frontiers, a biweekly Los Angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community.

This doesn’t bother me, it just suprises me, you know? Its like finding out that he’s a gourmet cook or likes to tan his toes — just an interesting and unexpected tidbit of information.

You should go to the article, though, because they have a picture of him looking REALLY gay. After seeing this picture you immediately say to yourself “well, of course he’s gay!”

duh.
