Fuck you Sun. Fuck you too, NetApp. You can both die in a fucking fire.

Go to Hell, don't come back.

The video card in my machine at home dying yesterday.

This is only the second hardware failure I've had in a machine that wasn't memory or a hard drive over the last 15 years.

Software that worked.

Vendors who cared enough to fix it when it didn't.

Once again, NetBackup is refusing to actually back stuff up. It insists that all my tape drives need to be cleaned, despite my having run shiny new fresh out of the shrink wrap cleaning tapes through them. There's nothing I can do that will convince it that these drives don't, in point of fact, need to be cleaned. All it has to do is a simple SCSI probe of the drives, and it would know this for itself. There was a time that it did just this. It would seem that once again, in the name of progress, shit that once worked has been broken for no known reason.

Fuck you Symantec; die in a fucking fire.

You know, for all the shit people give Vista, I didn't just waste five hours of my life on a machine that I'll have to start all over again on because it hung during a driver update. In fact, the only time Vista has ever crashed on me is due to faulty memory. The more I have to deal with XP's bullshit, the more I won't miss it when it finally gets thrown under a bus.

Important News Regarding Netflix Profiles

Dear Jamie,

We wanted to let you know we will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account, effective September 1, 2008.

Each additional Profile Queue will be unavailable after September 1, 2008. Before then, we recommend you consolidate any of your Profile Queues to your main account Queue or print them out.

While it may be disappointing to see Profiles go away, this change will help us continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers.

If you have any questions, please go to http://www.netflix.com/Help?p_faqid=3962 or call us anytime at 1 (888) 638-3549. We apologize for any inconvenience.

- The Netflix Team


How the fuck is this an improvement? I'm losing functionality and convenience.

Did someone unleash a new bit of malware that's taken over the world this morning? Over the course of the morning I've gone from ~250 pieces of spam a day to over 700 per HOUR.

I haven't posted in a while, but hey, my life is pretty boring if you're not me, and since y'all aren't, I try not to inflict that on you.

I am...odd. Those of you who know me know this. Jamie is not a normal person. I have the meds to prove it. Said meds are the problem.

I asked my neurologist to up my dose just before Christmas, because I was not feeling entirely in control. He agreed, and I started on a higher dose a couple days later.

Man, that was a bad idea.

It killed my physical endurance and pretty much flattened me out as a person you might have to interact with.

I've cut my dosage way back on my own, and holy shit, I can take class again and not feel like I'm going to drop dead at the end of it. I can also hold a conversation again.

I'm also irritable and angry at nothing.

Fuck you and your broken chemistry, brain.

All you normal people out there? I just want you to know that I hate you all.
