no successes to report so far. i’ve got a busy weekend. my final project report is due, which probably involves some modification to the final project to make sure i get maximum points. i also have to put time in to work, because i’m losing sleep since my project isn’t finished.

i just received an email from an upset webmaster who recevied a forged virus-filled email which looked as if it came from me. this stuff is really unfortunate. not only are these spammers costing me money as a percentage of bandwidth, wasting my time (which is money) – now they are soiling my name. my mail server currently has 89 requests, which are all bounces for bogus addresses. i’m very annoyed.

i don’t know how good it is, but the article is shipped off to sysadmin magazine for review. =)

i just called Linda in order to get access to the inspection report etc. and it arrived in the mail. now i have quite a bit of leisurely reading (hah) ahead of me.

well, i paid way too much money for some guy who didn’t seem any more qualified than me to ‘inspect’ my condo. i certainly expected him to be much more knowledgable/talented. perhaps my condo is just to small to have many things of interest, but if i did that again i think i’d keep the money for myself and spend 3 or 4 hours (instead of the 30 minutes he spent) looking the place over.

after 5 months of nothing, i finally managed to start my article. i wrote about four paragraphs. i would estimate that i’m about 1/5th of the way done with the rough draft of content. i’m going to have to average over 3 paragraphs a night (plus time to revise). if i actually learn not to procrastinate, this might become a regular thing…
