Soapbox interlude

OK, I have kept away from posting anything political here simply because I tend to stay away from all things political in general. I have strong, generally negative feelings about our government and since I really don't do too much about it, I keep my mouth shut.

Now having said that, I still would like to go on record and say that I am against this war. It is wrong, immoral and just plain asinine. We are being lied to and told half-truths. The masses are being brainwashed with WWII type propaganda that is being force-fed to us. I could do a bit of research and back up my feelings, but I don't want to take the time. I just want my feelings to be known.

May Peace Prevail On Earth.

That is all.

Two days and counting

Only two more days until my birthday. Yay!

I have now set up my virtual server with proftpd with mysql authentication. I rule. Hopefully I will have a real working server in a month or so. I just have to get the hardware and the static IP address from qwest.

Things still have been quite uneventful lately. I blew off some steam at Gameworks last Saturday, killed some zombies and did some DDR. Good times were had by all.

Look! I posted twice in one month.

03-03-03 This is such a cool date. It also means that it is only twelve days until my birthday.

Not too much to report. I am still learning Apache stuff and hoping to get a better job. I got my virtual server up and running and I got php installed on it so far. Tonight I am going to take a stab at mysql. I talked with the manager in charge of the department that I want to transfer to and he liked me and was impressed with all that I had learned in such a short time. He said that he would consider me for the position when it becomes available in the next couple weeks. Unfortunately I accidentally let it slip that there was a position open to another tech and he wants the job too. I might have really fucked up my chances now. I am really not holding my breath about getting the job, but it would be nice. I am still going to continue learning regardless in the hopes that another position will open up if I don't get this one.
