    Today I learned that playing too much Metal Gear Solid online isn't necessarily good for you, and if doing so on the PSP, doubly so.

    Also: using the PSP is even more challenging and fun...not to mention painful.

    Today I learned that I'm going to have to bust my ass after finals to get the server moves that need to be worked out worked out and get a static-routed vpn up and running so I can put my users in useful places when they remodel my lab. My deadline for moving the rack out of my lab (and thus for moving the servers that need to move out of the rack) is Wednesday or so of next week. I was hoping for another 2 weeks or so to write good firewall and routing rules, get agreements negotiated and control of the servers that are going transferred over, and generally make sense of things.

    So I've got a week to do what I wanted 3 weeks to do. And until I spend half of that time in meetings, I won't have any idea how to proceed. Feck.

    Today I learned that the rudimentary sewing skills I learned when I was 12 during home economics classes are enough to fix the knees of my jeans. Two more pairs I don't have to replace for a couple months.

    Like a lot of thing you can learn that don't seem useful at the time you learn them, being able to sew (albeit not that competently) helps out a lot more than you think.

    Quoted for truth about the cooking. Sewing has never come in handy for me, though.

    Today I finally figured out the bass part to Sweet Child o' Mine by GNR. The hard part was figuring out how the intro was supposed to sound and also the notes in between the root notes of every chord. I think I've got it down now, just need to practice for speed and accuracy. I love being able to play along with the song now.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Today, I learned that I don't fail at computers. I also learned that I do fail at Geometry. YAY!

    Today I learned that I too fail at Geometry. I also learned that XanBcoo's signature is as ugly and grotesque as sin.
