CharmingGeek.net Funness

I moved a couple of weeks ago, which means new ISP, new networking hardware. None of that matters much, because at about the same time I completely reinstalled my operating system and all my programs. The net result is that all the internet services I was hosting disappeared.
But they’re coming back, and better than ever. CharmingGeek radio is back online. See the player and link to the top right.
The control module still isn’t set up, but don’t worry I’ll get to it. For now, you can enjoy my collection of Al Green love songs.

Last week I started classes at GMU. I’m going to the Fairfax once a week in the process of earning a Masters in Sofware Engineering. It’s been almost three years since I was in school, and it’s all coming back to me. I first knew it when I stayed up late Tuesday night studying for a quiz and got up to study some more on Wednesday morning. (We won’t bother with defining late. Just remeber I’m older than I used to be.) Turns out I could have done the quiz without waking up at all.
On campus I was aware not so much of looking too old to be in college, but just like one of the old guys on campus. So, since I was 20 minutes early for class and my professor was 35 minutes late, I started to take notes on how I can look more like one of the regular undergrads.

1. jeans
2. lose the leather briefcase
3. GMU T-shirt
4. flip-flops
5. look more confused (tired?)
6. stop paying for everything with Visa Platinum card — suggestion: Mason Money
7. I haven’t actually seen undergrads doing this, but more handstands in the hallway can’t hurt

I’ll let you know how it goes. Meanwhile, check out the handlebar on this fellow.

Halloween is coming up. I need ideas for a costume — one that I can either get together myself of con somebody into making for me. What ‘cha got?

Maybe I’m a little slow in getting to this, but here’s the video of the day.
