travis’s brain dump

You ever have one of those moments when you just have to giggle to yourself over something kinda funny?  You know, like one of those moments when you’re looking over communications logs on your servers and notice someone from dhs.gov has become a regular visitor to your blog? LOL (dhs.gov is department of homeland security for those that don’t quite understand… if you need further details, feel free to visit their site)

Seriously… it’s one of those things that just makes your raise your eyebrow and think to yourself  ‘does someone think I’m a threat or are they just some individual who finds my technical posts helpful or my rants entertaining?’ With the regular visits monthly why don’t they just sign up and get subscribed to my posts so they can get full copies when I post up?

It certainly wouldn’t offend nor scare me to have a dhs member as a subscriber. lol

The first visit was on May 5th, then a month later almost to the day a visit with more content viewed. I must be getting more interesting or something.

One of my all time favorite quotes:

“Computer games don’t affect kids, I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.” – Marcus Brigstocke

Lol

Shortly before we left for GA there was a mouse we had busted digging into some things in the garage. This little isolated incident turned into a huge mess in our absence adding to the phrase “while the cat’s away, the mice will play”. Seriously, it was like an army had moved into our garage while our house sat quiet for that week and a half.

My solution?

… the most painful looking, horrific feeling device I could find for a mouse trap. It’s got teeth and all. PETA eat your f`n heart out!! So, I’m not completely without a heart though… I did buy one of those ultrasonic devices to ward off the little buggers. But in the mean time it’s open season on those rodents! So far the score is 1-9. Only one trap has been robbed of the bait but I do believe that crafty mouse bit the big one when he hit the next trap for some more peanut butter. We even got a two for one special with one…

So until they stop coming in, I’ll get excited every time I hear a “snap” or walk out to find another one bit the dust. >=D

Today, Matt proved an age old thought, I know Jay will appreciate this one. If you don’t get it, don’t try, you might just hurt yourself.

Me, “Hey Matt, can you crank me out a login script for Rock Springs?”

Matt, “Yeah, it’s already out there.”

Me, “Ok, so what’s it called?”

Matt, “umm… f`n-ninja.bat?”
