Random Thoughts of Nothingness

  • Last week we rolled out a new phone system (something I will blog about shortly). We got a new block of DIDs to make our lives easier and the number easier to remember (314.621.8105 old vs 314.622.6200 new). Well, thanks to my direct number, I received my first crazy voicemail. Enjoy!

  • Obituary: After over 3 years with the machine, my Powerbook G4 has come to the end of its life. Arriving it January 2003, the machine served it’s purpose well and did it with all the vigor one could expect of the PPC platform. The tragedy was not cause by obsolescence, but by the unforgiving forceContinue…
