Fantasy Football

I upgraded the Fantasy Football league to a pay league! This is the First time for this group of guys & gal(s) we played for a prize! We will have a small pay out and the league champion gets a plaque. This time it’s for a prize so we will see how focused people’s attention span to the teams and happenings around the league plays out.
Last year was the most competitive and vocal group we had. We had lots of trash talk (that did not go overboard) and participation. We had more posts talking trash in a few weeks than in previous entire seasons. Now everyone is also a veteran of the Fantasy Football game. Most have been at it for several years and all know football and the players very well.
Let’s get it on!

Strength Of Character

No one is perfect and yes you have to choose your fights but some people just don’t have the character on an everyday basis and you wonder what fight they are saving up for. So many people dream of being a hero but they don’t realize the opportunity when in front of them, these moments come from ordinary everyday beginnings. When a big fight comes they will be overwhelmed by that anyway.
All I’m saying is some people think showing strength is using phrases like 100% sure, I’m confident, I’m aggressive, I go out of my way to be different, I’m independent etc. When put in a situation of true raw aggression of mind, physical presence or emotion they fail which, happens to all but the true strength comes in standing back up admitting fallibility not ignoring it and really fight.
Bottom line I hate weak character & minds that stand for nothing but pretend otherwise. Just stand back listen to their whines and excuses then move them out of your life.
By the way what a great mellow night nice breeze mellow tunes relaxed mind and body with incense riding the currents of breeze.

Computer Room Moved!

All the main components of the computer room are now moved back to the original computer room. Things went pretty much as expected. Moved the shelves and bookshelves first then the main user system, emptied rack of systems moved rack hook routers & hubs on rack, place systems back in rack BLAH!
Really only issue was that I forgot my Linux web servers “root” password. I had to go into single-user mode to wipe the password out and then change it when fully up. Oh and had to fix the motion detector for my alarm in that room and take apart and fix the KVM switch that has been lightly used but decided to start getting flaky when put to true use.
Now what happened to the clips that hold the window blinds up? :/
Now its time to weed out some of the things that do not add to the functionality of this computer room and store in the garage that has more room since I have been steadily moving things out of the garage then moving items from the other rooms to the garage, sorting through them and moving them out of the house for good!
I can feel my “feng shui” slowly creeping up on me! Time to get back to the time before I was buying and selling sooo much!
Then its party time! When that and other things are settled!

Computer Room Move

This is why it took a lot of pondering and wringing of the hands before I moved my computer room back even though its best to go back to the original room! I have a lot of stuff!! Big HEAVY stuff, lots of little stuff that when boxed is really HEAVY.
I cannot believe I still have so much! I literally got rid of several truck loads and had garage sales!!
Anybody wants some nice HP-UX computers who lives in the Sacramento area or are prepared to pay shipping? Let me know I will start posting items for sale just as I used to do with my old website many moons ago!
Trying to get my Feng Shui together crap out of the house or whatever you want to call it!

Moving Computer Room

I elected to move my computer room back to the original room. Finish baseboards move existing furniture out and the computer equipment in!! Started baseboards earlier this evening, costs prevent me from going all out on baseboards. I will move my rack that currently has most of my computers last, time to put my KVM switch to better usage as well as rack mounting my routers and hubs.

What Happened To The Night Breeze??

Was waiting for the nightly Delta breeze tonight and it never came.
The grilled steak, shrimp, fish & beer and bourbon was still kicking though!
Plus cooled off just enough, hey it’s the middle of the week!!
Then ended the night listening to a nice mix by yours truly sipping CBS @ http://www.dhoytt.com/whatson.html
