I have an appointment today to have a full MRI done on my spine.

The current theory about my ongoing leg issues (read: intense debilitating pain) is caused by a pinched nerve coming out of my thoracic lumbar. Back in 1985/86 I was run over twice durring a 9 month period while riding my old motorcycle (causing me to give up riding for 15 years).

Hopefully I can get copies of the images to post on the website.

On an unrelated note… anger ensues over a collection agency. I was involved in a legal battle 4 years ago with a company that I had borrowed money from. After all was said and done, they ended up eating the bill but have now turned it over to another company (second time this has happened) to collect it. It’s not that I don’t have the ability to pay it (seriously… it’s a very small amount), but it’s the principle of the thing. They broke the law and I caught them at it.

Time to release the hounds again.

Oh yeah… and the link of the day is here.

The weekend was wheeeee-fun!

My neighbor (the one who only talks to me when he feels the need to bitch about something)came over last Thursday and informed me that he was selling his house. He wanted to know how much I paid for mine, what the appraisal was worth when I refinanced, and if I would I clean my back yard (because there was a dog toy lying on the grass).

Saturday morning was spent cleaning the back yard (I picked up the dog toy and mowed the lawn) and working on the new server (the drive that was donated wasn’t recognized by the bios, so I had to do some creative swapping between machines to get one that would).

Saturday night, my sister and her man-toy came over for dinner. Of course, the Jagermeister ended up coming out of the freezer and they spent the night in my guest room (jager gooooood!).

Sunday was fairly gloomy overall (hangover’s all the way around… jager baaaaad!). The weather was nice but I wasn’t up to getting the bike out of the garage, so I spent the day reading email and playing games on the PC (Moo2 was the flavor of the day).

Today’s link of interest is here.

Big things on the server front!

Mr. Jess and I have been formulating a plan to upgrade the dump. We’ll soon begin building a new server to replace the current one (it will become a firewall).

What this means for the 20 some odd domains that I host is: buttloads of new features (woot!). Spam filters, a better online mail system, better statistics tracking, etc. Life will be very cool indeed.

Donations have been pouring in from some of the folks I host (thanks to Neil for the 60GB drive!). I still need either a deceint CD-RW or tape drive for backups (hint-hint, nudge-nudge).

“Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s first bionic server. Pixelthugs will be that server. Better than it was before. Better … stronger … faster”

My friend Jess just sent me a link to what has to be the most beautifully done site I’ve seen in quite a while:

Enjoy!

I wanted to post something entertaining today, but life is pretty crappy at the moment.

Rather than boring you with the tedious details, I present to you, the loyal viewer (or, more likely, the 14 year old boy who randomly surfed in while searching for bestiality and/or interracial porn) the following link (click it, you know you want to!).
