I've been told that this "blog-like" page is an odd amalgamation of server updates/woes and running results.. So I'll combine both in this post.

Here are the times from my last 3 races... not too shabby. I would have liked to been faster last night but had allergy issues all week. But, I beat the mayor, so that's something.

So, I get home from the race and I'm talking to someone over the 'ol instant messaging when the webserver emits a loud pop..whirrr, and the fresh scent of fried electronics into the air. Never good. My good fortune that I was in the room. Anyhow, the power supply finally gave out after at least 6 good years of service... 4 of which were 24/7. This morning I pilfered a spare from an old machine and everything's peachy.

I'd like a notebook computer.. If I were to get one it'd probably be one of these three:

• Fujitsu P7010
  
• Dell X1 (actually a rebranded samsung)
• Panasonic Toughbook W2

Any reccomendations?

Upgraded to MySQL 4.1 this morning.
Should have taken <15min...
1st I forgot to uninstall the old mysql service, so the new install farted there...
(had to reinstall old, to uninstall the services...)
The biggest problem:
I guess I overlooked the "it doesn't work with PHP" memo..
finally discovered how to add "old-passwords" to my.ini
everything seems happy now

Happy Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Groundhog day, etc...

I'm sure everyone that comes here is looking for my political commentary. I'll just say I've voted, you should to. I'm now in a media blackout. Maybe I'll wakeup tomorrow morning and find out who won. It'll be just like Christmas!

On the subject of voting, the Tulsa Zoo has made it to the final five in Microsoft's America's Favorite Zoo contest. Vote for the Tulsa Zoo
