morning waste of bandwidth

dsrtaoI am on the bus. I have the internet in my pants. (Thx, mangosteen.)
The lady at the back of the bus appears to be rolling joints and putting them in a Marlboro pack.
I woke up for a 2:30 data feed issue that I traced to a bad ssh config that had been maniacally reinstalled by a robot that wasn't even supposed to be working today. When I finally fixed everything, it was still early enough to run all the night jobs. It was also 4ish, and I couldn't get back to sleep.
I ground and brewed 8 cups of Tanzanian Peaberry, then drank it all.
I am awake and on my way to work.
It is very cold. Tomorrow we get snow, which means it should be warmer.
I am wearing the default winter coat for very tall and/or big men: an Army N3B parka. It will overheat me in about 20 seconds in an ambiemt temperature of 60F. It feels just a little warm here on the bus.

Eternal September
Date: 2007-02-13 02:55 pm (UTC)The internet is in my pants
The internet is in my pants
Remembering email days and Usenet threads and scans
Got to keep the trolls from posting rants.
The internet is in the schools
The internet is in my school
The network holds their pixel'd ravings on the screen
And every day the RSS feeds more.
And if the network saturates many years too soon
And if there is no coverage on the Hill
And if your Palm explodes with shattered LCDs
I'll see you on the dark side of the 'net.
The internet is in my head
Teh Intarnets are my head
You raise the phone; you mash the keys
You bloginate me 'til I'm keen.
You 'crypt your mail
And throw away the key
There's someone in my blog but it's not me
And if September hits, spamming in your ear
You post and no one seems to hear.
And if the blog you're in starts reading differently
I'll see you on the dark side of the 'net.
