Never Forget
Seven years ago today, yet a year ago I forgot while drunk. And was ashamed.
Holy shit has today been nutty. When the error “The User Profile Service service has failed the logon.” comes up and you’ve done nothing except try to uninstall some printer software that was seemingly breaking Word, breaking the printer list, deleted ntuser.dat, and has created a ton of empty directories at the root of the drive? And activate the Administrator account when logins are broken? And it just gets better from there? Fun.
This morning, after a morning of dealing with shit not working like it should, a co-worker wished for an afternoon where computers did what you intended them to. I joked that he was planning on spending his afternoon on Fantasy Island, and sure enough, nothing worked for him or I all afternoon. Stuff I fixed then didn’t break when I tried to break it, stuff didn’t work when it should have worked, and stuff was just nutty all around.
I could really go for a stiff drink and some NRG Chips.

One day I’ll do an in depth post
What do you do when your name matches someone in the news? Set up a fake blog about the person, of course!
As someone who regularly has a couple dozen tabs open at any given moment, I’m curious to see how Chrome performs insofar as the back end changes. Looks great in Aero, windexcowboy reports that it’s not so pretty in XP. Will it handle the kingfox load? We’ll find out tonight.
At the post-handout pre-handout party annual BBQ dinner, we had a seating arrangement problem that jasonio ended up solving. He, his wife, windexcowboy, shmivejournal, jedimentat, caniswolfie, his wife, and I were seated at a table. While keeping couples together, people had to be re-seated so that four of us were close enough to have the fatty platter, in as few moves as possible. jasonio did it in only three, which should make his algorithms professor happy. shmivejournal joked about it being bubble sort, which left me cracking up the rest of the dinner.
