First episode of season 2 is done...
I am exhausted.

They gave us a 1972 Renault 12 and wanted us to build a land boat out of it.
A ship that travels on wheels.

Here is what the car looks like:
(Not the actual car)





Aand, this is what we built in 24 hours:

But wait.... There IS more.











Thanks for the stickers, Steve.. (paging @sixshooter )

This is me, all beat up during lunch break.



One disappoint.
We lost the race.
Ahem, I lost the race.

Apparently, I am not a fast captain in a land behemoth racing in reverse on a tight course...

Awesome work, Hakan!

I found where the vultures go for the summer.

When I saw that video, I was going to comment "Brainey doesn't like her, because she's pretty, and according to his reality, if you are both pretty and popular, then you are popular because you are pretty, not because you are talented. Ergo: she is not talented."

But the ops manager came into my office with an emergency that I had to solve, which I solved.

Then the news director called with some bullshit from Studio 2 which turned out to be that one of the anchors had fucked with the video settings on their laptop, which took 60 seconds to fix and 15 minutes to explain that, no, there is literally nothing that we in engineering can do to prevent the talent from dicking around with the settings on the on-set laptops, and that they shouldn't touch things they don't understand.

Then my PM construction crew came on shift, so I spent the next hour reviewing drawings with them and handing out work assignments.

Then my #2 guy came in and we spent the next hour reviewing the plan for tomorrow, when we're going to update the firmware on the whole Wheatstone audio system for all three production control rooms (to be fair, this is a major deal which I do not take lightly.)

Then I realized that I hadn't yet gotten back to my counterpart at our backup uplink / master control site in Indy about a rather complex question he'd emailed me about this morning concerning a new program that we're going to start carrying on one of our national network starting July 1 and for which we still have not had a single completely successful transmission test from the provider (Comcast is dropping the **** out of our packets somewhere between the CHI headend and our local NOC, and they can't figure out why, despite the fact that we just payed a bunch of money to upgrade our extranet circuit to ******* 1 Gb/s (This is in addition to the other two internet circuits we have with them, one of which is ALSO 1 Gb/s, the other is 400 Mb/s)), so I called him back and we chatted for a while, and came up with a plan to do a backhaul from them to us over one of the MPLS circuits as a backup starting this coming Monday.

And then I went home and poured a glass of scotch.

And then I realized that I hadn't hit "Submit Reply."

So **** it all. She's both pretty and talented, and I don't give an inverted pork rectum if you think she's not expressive enough.

Gmaps is looking particularly gay in the area around my house today:





A little hard to see in the photos, but yup, thousands of runners out there in Montrose Beach park being gay.

Racecar is nothing. You would rather have everything else in this room I can't show you.

Also, guess who just got a shiny new pallet jack?
