I found a tick biting me on Tuesday. This seems to have become an annual occurrence the last several years.

I got stuck in quite a traffic jam on Route 8 north yesterday. Took me over an hour to get to my parents’ when normally it takes 20-some minutes.

I have finally shut down my DreamCompute server on Dreamhost after my recent four day downtime incident. I was waiting on a client to move her DNS to the new server, but the old one was having more problems in the interim.

They must now be in the 192.68.56.0/21 range, which is pretty limited and much less easy to remember or type than the 10.*.*.* that I had been using. I had to change my projects to all be in this range and spread out the IPs to avoid collisions between the various projects when I updated VirtualBox a while back.
My car exhaust was rattling and making noise for quite some time. I finally fixed it, and it sounds much quieter, and even feels better.
