Monday, February 25th, 2008On numerous occasions, I have heard Democrats mock President Bush’s speaking ability. Clearly, the man is not the world’s greatest public speaker. I do not know if he has an actual speech impediment or if he just does not care about the way he sounds, or if some mis-guided analyst focus-grouped things [...]
Questions
Monday, February 25th, 2008Do you really think our public schools are doing a good job? Keep in mind that most of the teacher’s union dollars go to the Democratic party.
Do you really want to see our medical system go the way of Canada or the UK? Keep in mind that 1/4 children in the UK cannot [...]
No Snow
Friday, February 22nd, 2008So the snow and ice last night was utterly insufficient to overwhelm VDOT’s efforts. This is highly unfortunate because rex et al chose today to be unstable.
Snow
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Snow, snow go away, come again on Friday. Luke wants snow when Lauren is home.
Seriously, why does it always pick days when it does me absolutely no good?

You’re a pretty quirky person, but you’re just normal enough to hide it. Congratulations - you’ve fooled other people into thinking you’re just like them!

OpenAFS
Friday, February 8th, 2008Apparently OpenAFS does not really use unix accounts, and some chicanery is required to get the two to work together, and for all to be kosher. I am not a fan.
cluster woes
Friday, February 8th, 2008We are having issues with ocfs2. These might be solved by upgrading to a newer kernel, but it is not easy to find newer amd64 kernels with xen support. Either way, it is leaving us in a bad position, where one node will frequently find itself unable to create more than a few [...]
A Scary world
Thursday, February 7th, 2008A U.S. Department of Education report, in compliance with the 2002 “No Child Left Behind” act, found that up to 10% of public school children across the country have been sexually abused or harassed by school employees and teachers.1
We, as a culture, are obsessed with abuse in the Church. It is a huge scandal, [...]
A reason to worry
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Despite his pro-life stand, Senator John McCain is now the favored candidate of the Republicans for Choice Action Committee following Rudy Giuliani’s exit from the presidential race, Cybercast News Service reports.1
CNA did not provide a link to the original article.

Better than I thought
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008As results were tallied, McCain led with 345 delegates, to 129 for Romney and 115 for Huckabee. It takes 1,191 to win the nomination at this summer’s convention in St. Paul, Minn.1
This surprised me. I had not realized that Mr. Huckabee was doing so well. Perhaps he was not, going into “Super Tuesday.” [...]
