magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

so today was pretty eventful but i can't really say anything about it. confidential work related stuff. i s'pose i can say that i think if everything works out things will be less stressful for everyone involved. and right now i think that's the best direction that it all could go. writing that, i kinda had this image of a calm descending upon me. that hasn't really happened, but my head hasn't been feeling like it's going to explode either. for a couple of days even. wow.

i bought george a net card for his starmax for the holidays, and he bought one for his linux box this weekend, so we're finally working on plans to get a network set up here in the apartment. at this point i think kiwi (my next cube) will be running as a dhcp server, connecting us to the net. it would be nice to have some static ips, i could get my cam up live again, but i don't think that's gonna happen.

the card that i got from er!n last week was a photo that she took of the lights in hartford. also in it was a photo that ian took of er!n and me. it's nice to have, and it is growing on me, but i think i look like a bit of an idiot in it (one of the reasons i don't smile in photographs). a cropped, heavily filtered version can currently be found here.
