in a nutshell...

Hey folks.

Last weekend a few of us went down to the Chehalis/Centralia area to help clean up the flood damage. The place is, for those of you who haven't been down there, a serious mess. My post about the situation can be found here:

Anyway, a bunch of us are organizing to head down again this saturday to help out again. Were looking for more volunteers to help. Someone like you!

If you can make it, then PM... read more

Today me and a couple guys drove down to Chehalis to see what we could do to help the flood victims down there. As most of you probably already know, western Washington & Oregon got hit with some severe storms a week or two ago that resulted in some terrible flooding and landslides. One of the worst hit areas was in the Chehalis/Centralia area. At one point a week ago, Interstate 5 was under 10 feet of water, and some many streets in the town were flooded as well.

So, yesterday morning I get a call from the Renton Police. "Do you know where your car is?" Uh oh. I look outside. I know where it's supposed to be, and that's where it ain't.

My first experience with a car theft. Fucking joy.

So we spend the whole day dealing with this. We get a general assessment of the car over the phone. Looks cosmetically fine, but you can smell the clutch a block away. Ignition is all torn apart.

Shit.

So we spend the day dealing with insurance, lining up a ... read more

Fucking drizzle fucking sucks now.

Once upon a time drizzle was the ISP of choice in Seattle. Great customer service, reasonable rates. I cannot count how many people I've referred to them over the past 10 years, but it's been a good amount.

Then they were sold to the aptly named iPNS. And things changed. My DSL has gone down, and it seems they have no one actually manning the store for the long weekend. That is not acceptable behavior from a service-oriented, infrastructure-provid... read more
