Buffer Overrun: Oh, dear golly...!
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2008/08/set-phasers-to-stun.html
Friday, August 08, 2008. Oh, dear golly! Has nothing on systems administration. It should be an Olympic sport. When you're dealing with a mission critical server farm, you have to have excellent hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, mental fortitude, physical agility, and an extremely fit cardio-pulmonary system. Because when the server goes down, the gloves come off, and the wrist support brace goes on. The mysterious problems ("Why do I have two database processes now? Para; 11:39 AM. I will probabl...

Buffer Overrun: Breathe!
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2007/10/breathe.html
Friday, October 12, 2007. Now that I actually have a chance to stick my head above water to breathe, I will. It's been, oh, about 4 months since I last blogged (almost to the day, I guess). A lot's happened in the last 4 months. Let's see if I can summarize into a few succinct bullet points. We at unnamed financial services company. Moved our offices from one run-down, defunct old building to a much less run-down, defunct newer building. That transition took about 3 weeks to really settle in. From techie...

Buffer Overrun: I'm Sad to See You Go...
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2005/02/im-sad-to-see-you-go.html
Monday, February 28, 2005. I'm Sad to See You Go. This morning, one of my most best-est friends got on a plane bound for the other side of the planet. She's going to a far-off land for a long time to do noble work. Actually, it's really not that long of a time, but it sure feels like it. Safe journey, Friend. Come back to me in one piece. Call me when you're in town, and I'll be sure to do the same. Para; 12:18 PM. From techie to day trader. Musings of an Astronauts Personal Shopper.

Buffer Overrun: Jingles
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2007/10/jingles.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Whatever happened to the television advertisement jingles, those little 3-second tidbits that get stuck in your head for a whole day - or two? These days, you hear contemporary music on top of some fancy-schmancy graphics or computer effects. Whatever happened to "Frosted Lucky Charms, they're magically delicious"? Or "My Buddy, My Buddy, wherever I go heee goes"? Or "We're American Airlines, something special in the air"? Are they passing on the lost art of Jingle Writing?

Buffer Overrun: Pi + e = Pie!
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2007/03/pi-e-pie.html
Wednesday, March 14, 2007. Pi e = Pie! Today is Pi Day, for all you math nerds out there. You know, π, the irrational number, 3.141592654. Some people will even go so far as to celebrate it at 1:59 today (3/14 1:59 . 3.14159). I'm not that big of a nerd. But I am excited about another thing. Where are you going? The package is all-inclusive, so basically we show up at the airport, then show up at the hotel, and just relax. How long are you gone? We're there for 4 nights. Para; 11:21 AM.

Buffer Overrun: Distraction
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2006/05/distraction.html
Wednesday, May 03, 2006. Some of you have been bugging me about not blogging enough. OK, one. Of you has been bugging me about not blogging enough (you know who you are). Well, there's a reason for that: for the last almost 4 weeks, I've been severely distracted by a certain brown-eyed girl (not that I'm complaining). She was working at the coffee shop when I started there. So who is she? What about culinary school? Besides, there's lots of work for graphic designers in New York. ;-). Para; 9:12 PM.

Buffer Overrun: Ah, Sweet Relaxation
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2007/04/ah-sweet-relaxation.html
Monday, April 09, 2007. Ah, Sweet Relaxation. I'll tell you what - all-inclusive is the way to go. You show up at the airport, you show up at the hotel, you leave the hotel, and you go home. You don't really have to bring any money or monetary instruments. You go, you enjoy, then you go home. And I were noticing on our honeymoon. Last week that for a whole week, we were treated like royalty, even at the wedding. What was it like? How was the weather? What did you do there? Did you have good Mexican food?

Buffer Overrun: Yeah, Baby!
http://bufferoverrun.blogspot.com/2006/12/yeah-baby.html
Monday, December 04, 2006. That's right, Scotch Lassie. Some of you might think this is all so sudden. Well, in a way it is. A year ago. I didn't think I was going to be engaged in a year, and neither did she. But looking back at the whole process, it makes sense. Anyone that knows us knows that we go together (of course, we know that too). 1 April 2007 is the date we're shooting for. Plans are already well underway, and are moving along nicely. It's gonna be super-awesomely-cool. Para; 5:40 PM. Wednesda...
