Journal of a Sysadmin

Close to Home

Last night as I sat in front of my computer trying to work out a problem with mailman, I heard a loud bang. Minutes later I could hear a chorus of sirens which lasted at least 15 or 20 minutes.

This morning I read in the Herald that a man died of his injuries from a hit and run at Richmond Road and Sarcee Trail. The person who ran was apprehended and is pending charges.

When I read the news, I felt profoundly sad that a person passed from this world and it was so close to home I could hear the moment of impact that caused his passing. I have no idea who he was, but I can only imagine he had loved ones who will feel his loss so much more than I. Even the thought of this persons suffering is saddening to me.

WordPress automatic upgrade

Woot, it worked. Maybe I won’t have to diff/patch every time there’s an upgrade from now on!

Music in my Life

I was introduced to the sixty one tonight by the woman that has been giving me the gift of music for the past five years. From ska to folk, from Alexi Murdoc to Dar Williams and everything in between.

I had a hard time turning it off tonight because I want to hear all the unheard ‘da kine’ music there is and it just can’t be all heard in one night, there’s too much out there if you have ears.

Thank you again Jaime, some day I hope I get to repay you.
