I’m blogging. American has wireless, at last, at last. Now I’ll never get away…
In the airport book store, I saw an intriguing title: “Five Secrets To Discover Before You Die.”
So, what happens if you don’t discover them allby then? You die?
That sucks. I guess. But how is it worse than not discovering them?
How about if you get the fifth one just a few minutes before you die? What do you win?
Heading back to Colorado for a couple days. I’ll check in later. It’s been an exciting day.
Light blogging due to a weekend trip to the Central Coast. We stayed in Cambria last night, then back to LA later. And Monday, we’ll have a better idea of what the new space policy is, though I suspect that many questions will remain.
Samba seems to be broken on my server, and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. But at a minimum, this is:
# nmblookup -B 192.168.0.100 _SAMBA_
querying _SAMBA_ on 192.168.0.100
name_query failed to find name _SAMBA_
#
The only things I can find on line are that it means that nmbd isn’t running. But:
# ps -e | grep nmbd
8176 ? 00:00:00 nmbd
#
Does anyone have any ideas for how to troubleshoot this? Everything I find on line is distinctly unhelpful.
Posting is light because I’m both busy and have a head cold, which makes it hard to think seriously about anything (and spare me the “how can you tell the difference?” joke attempts).
This is the second day, and I hope I’ll be on the mend tomorrow.
If you’re going to try to slip through a generic comments post saying that “I never expected to see this on a Friday night,” or “Wednesday,” it would behoove you to actually post it at the time that you didn’t expect to see it. Not that the very premise isn’t stupid.
I mean, what does the day (or night) of the week have to to with the contents of the post?
Idiots.
Thankfully, it makes filtering the morons easier.
I’ve been driving all day, but am taking a break for the final leg. We’re climbing up the Cajon Pass from Victorville, and are on the home stretch. And I’m using my new Verizon AirCard, which works great here, but there was no signal in the outback of Utah.
After an exhausting two weeks of house renovation (plumbing upgrades, bathroom tearouts, painting, electrical, etc.) in Colorado, we’re on the road back home to LA. Stopping for the night in Glenwood Springs, and hoping to get home later tomorrow night, with an early start. Regular blogging may resume thereafter.
I’m renovating a house for re-rental in Golden, CO, including a kitchen remake, and two baths, one of which is essentially gutted other than tub. So all work and little blogging makes Rand a dull boy…
Heading out of Vegas north to Arizona, Utah, and eventually Colorado. I may check in from the road, since I bought myself a Verizon Aircard for Christmas. Hope Santa was good to everyone…
[Late evening update]
The plan had been to make it all the way to Denver tonight, but we got a late start from Vegas, and we would have gotten in very late, so we stopped in Grand Junction. Looking at the weather in the room, it looks like it was a good move, because there’s a lot of snow on the road up ahead at the Divide. I hope it will be better in the morning.
[Saturday morning update]
Well, it’s better this morning, but still looks like a slow drive. The snow isn’t blowing any more, but there are icy patches and packed snow ahead. I’m guessing five hours, but maybe we’ll be able to do better.
[Evening update]
We made a lot better time than I hoped — about three and a half hours. The only places where the roads were a little iffy were in Vail Pass and climbing up the the RooseveltEisenhower tunnel, but it generally moved at better than sixty and eighty for much of the trip. The nice thing was that there was little traffic, and virtually no trucks, doubtless due to the holiday.
Are there any Denver-area blogger parties for New Years?
