martin, your machine is fixed. it wasn't quick and it wasn't 'easy,' but it appears that everything is back in line more or less. what a pain in the ass windows is. atlanta is still here, too, which is cool.

so the weekend with my mom (now long over) was great. we went to the garden and ate out a lot and had a generally riotously good time. we fought (argued about stupid shit) a lot, but that appears to be our dynamic these days. i don't say that approvingly, really; but that's the way it is. sigh. also, i (with the help of the mom and the mn) built the new terminal station. it's pretty nice. gotta figure out something to do about the printer, however. i got a cd storage solution, but it's the wrong answer. when the engineers return, i'd like to get their input on some designs for a homebrew.

also, i got the led sign. oh yeah. it's not 'web enabled' yet, so people can't tell me not to suck any dicks on my way through the parking lot or to get back to work or any shit. but i'm working on it. the software is actually coming along pretty easily, but wrestling with the bastards at biltmore about static ip, billing and the like is throwing a monkey-wrench in the proverbial works. anyway, i expect mark's computers to arrive today or tomorrow, so that'll give me something new to play with (woo!). hopefully everything will be going and playing nicely together and shining in the sunlight when all the peeps get back from the west.

come home, you fucks.
