Here’s an entry I’m pasting in:
I’m at my father-in-law’s house between Goldsboro and La Grange NC,
writing an offline entry. Today we did something I wanted to do last
XMas. He has this habit of just driving us around, and last year we
were in Smithfield, 2 blocks from the Ava Gardner Museum and we never
went. This time [...]

I’m in a hotel room in Florence SC. Shoret entry as the dialup is
ticking. Today, a belated XMas with my family. Tomorrow, on to
Goldsboro NC.

Well, not six - actually four. Heading out tomorrow for a belated XMas
festivities in Augusta GA and Goldsboro NC. We really don’t much feel
like making this drive, but obligatory it is.
I saved off the MP3s from the WREK Merzbow Marathon and will
preserve this as a document of the madness. I found it very funny [...]

That XMas is over fills me with a complete feeling of relief. The day
itself was good, filled with lounging and fun and food and no
obligations to go anywhere or do anything. We watched some of the Trading
Spaces marathon on TLC (or rather, my wife watched while I played on
the computer.) I did research on JDBC->ODBC [...]

We all seem happy in this house. I gave my wife the new Flaming Lips
CD, some coasters made from mineral slices and some amethyst earrings
and necklace. The latter gifts where purchased at the AGU meeting, and
I had to carry them around San Francisco and in my carry-on luggage
whilst worrying about them getting smashed. Luckily that [...]

Just waiting to open presents - which is sort of a semantic quibble,
since nothing is wrapped. It’s cold here, and I’m still grumpy but
I’ll put that aside for a while. Happy holidays to all! Hang in there.

Did a little XMas shopping this evening. We got run out of the office
at 2:30 PM (those of us who were still there and working.) You
normally don’t have to tell me twice to make me gone, but today I did
have something I needed to finish because it gated other
developers. Companies do so much to instill [...]

For reasons that aren’t for public consumption, this is shaping up to
be the worst XMas in many years for us. I just want it all over. When
things are going poorly, this is the absolutely worst time of the
year. Some of us may not want the cheer and festivity, so keep it out
of my face, please. [...]

Oh goddamn it, how did I miss this? Joe Strummer has died (Reuters
story). How fucking depressing. We have lost far too many
musicians that I love this year, and my hero Warren is not long for
this life. Not to mention the horrible feeling it gives me to have the
angry young men of my youth dying of [...]

There weren’t as many takers as I was expecting for the Zevon
concert. Later today I’ll be posting it to Usenet so mail me soon if
you want it, as I expect that I’ll have given away all the copies
within an hour or two of the original post.

I e-mailed about the new/old Mac today. We’ll see if the guy still has
it. $300 for a 300 MHz Blue and White G3, with an OS 9 and OS 10.1.5
on it. The cool thing is that it has Firewire. Last XMas my wife got
me a CD burner that has both USB and Firewire interfaces. It’s [...]

I almost missed an entry at all today. I got WREK’s Bugzilla install
working and we took our dog to get a photo made with Santa. Big day
around these parts.

Today has been a charity day. We wrote a bunch of checks to various
organizations to get them in on this tax year/XMas season. My wife
came up with a plan last year that we didn’t actually follow this year
but is a great idea. Decide how much we want to give for the year,
divide that into monthly [...]

I was wondering if the station would play Tift Merrit (who I saw at
that thing with the Indigo Girls a few days ago and is from Raleigh)
and as I was pulling up her web page, one of her songs came on the
radio. That answers that question. I liked that song too.

Band of the day! Month, really, but house sets the rules. This
is the band I called Raleigh about an hour ago, The Jam Pain Society. It was
tough to get this information over the cellphone with a noisy studio
in the DJs background and I thought he was saying “champagne.” The
song I heard on the radio was [...]

The WREK Merzbow marathon is over, but until late next week it will
still be available in their week-long MP3 archive.
Here’s something I found out from John Bartley
(from whom I’m getting a lot of these links lately) in a newgroup
post:
There is a station in Research Triangle, NC called WBZB 1090 AM that has [...]

So I have this Perl script that reposts this weblog daily to my
newsgroups on SFF.net and Dueling Modems. This thing uses the
HTML::Parser module and I have some rudimentary formatting things I do
to make this log become a raw text news post. Those tables I’ve been
pasting in of the search engine hits on the weblog really [...]

And I see now Lott has stepped down and won’t fight to remain as
Majority Leader. I won’t cry for him. Merry XMas, cracker boy. This

Before I got my Trent Lott thoughts written up, here is a similar
sentiment expressed by Jon Carroll at the SF Gate. I agree with
most of what he says. I don’t think being a racist crackerass renders Lott unfit to
lead the Republican party in the Senate - it should give him extra
credit. As a white man [...]

I got a copy of Jill Sobule and Warren Zevon’s show in Fort Worth, TX
in April 2000 yesterday. It is a part of this bootleg CD tree thing. I
got my copy from a cool but odd dude named “Freelance Fred, whose slogan
is “Small enough to care, large enough to feel cramped in coach.”
Under the terms [...]
