Almost forgot to post this earlier. Too busy with organizing lease returns. This email came out from the president earlier today. I unfortunatley have to block out the brand names, but let's just say that at least one is alcohol. To celebrate our two, new business wins, let?s all gather

The following is part of an email that went out from the IT department this afternoon. We have instituted a company-wide maintenance schedule in an effort to proactively ensure your machines are tuned up, kept current with the latest software updates and to make sure your virus protection is up

Those of you Nilzero-ers who’ve visited and/or lived with me in New Canaan (the first time around) or Bridgeport will be delighted to know that the Iron Maiden is dead and gone. 'Twas a moldy death. When the tree fell, some water leaked into the basement where the yellow beast

Tree I've been meaning to do things like blog and unpack from the trip to DC, but what you see above has kept me out of the cottage. Half an hour after getting home Tuesday afternoon, the winds from the thunderstorm caused a tree to fall on the cottage.

For whatever reason we decided to come back to the hotel for part of the afternoon after spending the morning at the Air & Space Museum. Perfect timing meant arriving back at the hotel room just as the second half of the France/Italy game began. 1-1. A good game. France

OK folks. I'm on vacation in DC until Tuesday with my mother and Dutch uncle* (here to visit for a few weeks). Of course I’ll have a laptop, Treo and camera with me, so expect pictures of monuments and such on the Flickr account. And I promise, when I return

Really, if there's one thing tonight, it's that I'm not "MX missile-proof," or even Springwater Lane-proof. The Darien Boy Scouts held their annual tag sale yesterday on West Ave, and I was up at 7:30 7:45 to pick up Kon and go bike shopping. It seemed that every Darien resident

How anticlimactic. At the beginning of March, the US District Court chose me as a possible juror. Twice since then I have received summons to show up at the courthouse in Bridgeport at 8AM, only to call the night before and find out that I'm not actually needed. Last night's

Upon entering the attic, it came to me that I have too much stuff. Enough stuff that I can't remember where I picked up that PowerMac G3 with A/V personality card, or when I put those boxes of books up there. Good thing it's spring - I can get my

I really thought that I posted something here last night, before I left work. No, really. The post lost to the ether centered around what was, last night, my latest project: turning my aging electric guitar into a faux mandolin. Ruby and I have decided to get together to play

Last week, I was invited to dinner with part of my department to welcome an employee from our Dallas office who’s in Wilton for a few days to get a feel for how things work up here. This guy’s title is “Manager of Product Innovation” (which is just about as

At some point on the drive back from New York last night, I got the crazy idea to do something I have never done before. This will be extremely intense, very disruptive, and just the challenge I need right now. This insane thought - make My Name Is Rachel Corrie

Kevin and I will be seeing Kronos Quartet at Carnegie Hall on March 25th, with 3rd row seats. I couldn't resist the deal, and bought the tickets this morning figuring that I’d find someone to go with. The program lists Howard Zinn as a special guest. I’m looking forward to

This kind of night is pretty typical of me recently. I can’t get to sleep because I’m afraid I’ll sleep in tomorrow. Among other things (destroying my self respect and instilling a permanent fear of sleep), not being at work on time tomorrow would completely ruin my chances of a

As my final blogging act of 2005, I’ll close out the year with a quote from Jack Kerouac’s recently-published play “Beat Generation” Here I am sitting in Jullius Chauncey’s kitchen in a clear cool morning in October 1955, the freshness of the day’s first jug, ugh..You know Jule, there’s nothing,

Closing the Spring 2006 Norwalk Community College class schedule in disgust after not being able to find a CS class that I could take before or after work, I looked at the cover and realized, “Hey, I know that guy.” There, in the lower-left corner is none other than Tom.

It was the thought process I wanted to put off for just another year. 21 is just a number; other than being able to gamble and drink (coincidence, or conspiracy?), there can’t be any kind of significance other than a fabricated social milestone. Then I received Drakkar Noir eau de

The rumor around New Canaan is that I committed suicide a few years ago. This has been the de facto truth for years. I can’t blame anyone for believing it, but I am quite alive.

Kon's flight was supposed to get in to La Guardia at 12:31 this morning. Last I checked, 2:49 is not 12:31. Evan and I discovered that at 12:30 AM, no shops at the United terminal are open. Not even the coffee shop. There are no vending machines. Just some tired,

On the eve of my twenty-first birthday, I"m thinking less of what to have as my first drink, and more of the chance I'll have to do something right the second time when I'd thought the first was all I had.

I spent election night at Danbury’s Republican election headquarters. And you thought you knew me… I haven’t turned in my ISO membership card, put a "W: The President" bumper sticker on my car and conned the local poor kid into enlisting. We played volleyball outside the election night stronghold. Volleyball?

I have to agree with Daily Kos’Hunter on this one: There's nothing fucking "Italian American" about being an ultra-far-right conservative jackass. You will not drag my heritage into this like you shoved Alito's well-groomed hand up Rosa Parks' corpse, or I will bury you, you loathsome little egg-humping fucker. And

My cell phone vibrated as I was repatching an Ethernet drop around 6:50 tonight, so I ignored it. By the time I got to Danbury, I remembered to check that voicemail. On the first (and second) listen, it sounded something like: Hi Chris, it’s Emily. Do you know where I

1. Enter a support request the night before leaving on your 3-week honeymoon. 2. Assume that just because we said we’d help you out and upgrade iTunes to the latest, we meant we’d do it today. 3. Furiously ask why we never responded to your improperly-addressed email to us asking

It was surprising to see traffic on the Merritt Parkway (southbound) at 8:45 on a Sunday night. WCBS AM radio said there was a tractor trailer on the road near the exit 37 rest stop. Considering the low bridges, this is a no-no - in fact, commercial vehicles aren't allowed

Regardless of what anyone tells you about this “city that never sleeps” business, getting a meal at 4 on a Sunday morning anywhere near Grand Central is not an easy task. The closest area that is of any use to a hungry, thirsty traveler is the Starbucks in Times Square

Leaving work around 8 tonight, a call came in from area code 718. Still trying to avoid the Sparticist League and knowing that 718 is a New York area code, I almost didn't answer it. At the last moment, something changed my mind. Luckily, it wasn't one of the Sparticists

To sum up my review, I can only say that it was a mess. Anything overly positive (providing custom programs on request, overhauling two major database systems, taking control of CD production) was contrasted by something equally negative (often late - this is when I lived in Bridgeport, no concept

The Pope's still dead, of course. Saturday afternoon, I woke up around 2:00, and lazily turned the TV on. I had been coding until about 5 that morning, working on MailCount 2.0 and attempting to limit the coffee. As an astonishing feat, I kept the intake to under one pot

Gidian and I went out for coffee tonight, getting to Starbucks just about an hour before they closed. Somewhere in the conversation, I reminded her of something I don’t think I’ll ever forget… The scene is LaGuardia Airport, around 7AM on a December day. None of us had slept much

All the buildup, all the planning, all the worrying… And just under 12 hours after I got on the train to New York this morning, I’m home. I awoke at 7 this morning, got on a train at 8:13 and was walking through Harlem by 9AM. Most days I’m lucky

Saturday brings another nationwide anti-war rally, with local actions being held in Hartford, New York City and New Paltz. I’ve written before about these events.

If I learned one thing tonight, it's that the NYU/Village chapter of the ISO is comprised of great people. I also learned that getting on the uptown 6 train in Astor Place at 12:10AM will not allow a person to make the 12:22 train to South Norwalk. Additionally, I learned

I’ve opened a shop at CafePress. There's a small selection of items there now; more will come when I find my external hard drive and touch up some works-in-progress I had. Admittedly, the CP prices aren’t great. I’ve only added a dollar to their base price (so I won’t be

I returned home from DC around 1:15 this morning. There’s much to write about, but getting it all into an understandable bit of prose will take some much-needed sleep. For the meantime, I offer this, my impression of what the anti-war movement has to say about George W. Bush’s second

Last night was the company Christmas party at the Maritime Aquarium in South Norwalk. All week, I debated whether or not to go. Hanging out with my co-workers while we all get drunk? That's something I'd done at CA, and didn't really enjoy it. TL is a different company, though.
