And On This Farm He Had A Blog

I can't get into the software.

What does the error message say

Cannot access database on localhost through socket.

This means it cannot find the server. Go to it please.

Oh, it's been acting weird. That little fan thing in back keeps making a noise so I turned it off.

You turned what off?

The fan on the back of the server. With the switch right next to it.

You need to call your local nerd. Tell her you need a new power supply. Do NOT tell her the part about the switch because she will laugh at you. Please turn the switch back on.

OH! The server was off.

That switch isn't just for the fan, Sue. Please don't flip it again.

You must think I'm an idiot.

I'm not going to answer that

@gtwilson we heard you like Twitter

Then you need your ears checked. Post haste.

@larand CYA is both an art form and a survival skill.

Sidekick planning a weekend full of art museums and such. She's a good entertainment coordinator. Glad I hired her. :)

@skematica I used to think that the Internet was one of those, "Something happens", moments. Sadly, even there, the borders and walls go up and each group can be fed bias by the appropriate media outlet with little tidbits to outrage tossed in to keep the click-income healthy.

I think it's worse than before, actually, because every little nugget of information can be tailor made and consumed. Socially, it's a regression.

@larand Corporate dysfunction is sometimes popcorn worthy.

Okay, time to dive in and finish up application server number one.

I wasted some time putting an About page on my blog, here.

I did this mostly out of spite for Monday.

@larand Oh, and @oluseyi too. Basically any ADN folk who are no longer on ADN or won't come here for whatever reason.

@larand Mine will regardless of the outcome, I suspect. More for the banality than anything else. I only keep up with @redqueencoder, @raybrst and a few of the local (or formerly local) Linux geeks on there.
