Green Tape

So, last night sucked hard core for me… Most emotional night I’ve had in a long time, and I’m only working on about 4 hours of sleep now. Gah!

I watched Gilmore Girls last night, did anyone else notice the green tape on lor and suki during the flower shopping scene? WTF up with that? And what the hell happened there at the end! That was such a mess.

I found this picture on Digg yesterday:

Anyone notice anything wrong with it?!?!? WTF!?

I installed iLife ’06 and iWork ’06 last night, very exciting, iPhoto really does scroll like a knife through butter or whatever Jobs said… I haven’t played with the other things yet.

My Mac seems more sluggish since I installed 10.4.4, I dunno, maybe it’s just me.

Tomorrow I’m working a normal day (9-4) because I have a doc appointment at 4:30 in Newport Beach. I’m not sure if this is just a consultation or if they are actually going to do the surgery then… Who knows, like I said, it’s just out patient and the Doc said it shouldn’t take more then 30 minutes. I guess we’ll find out… Either way, I kinda wanna go out tonight, but at the same time, just sit at home and be a bitch some more.

Why can’t things just still be the way they were 2 years ago.. I was happy then, what happened?

I’m still really pissed about a lot of things. I’m out.

Liar!

So I caught Blake in a huge lie yesterday.

Just for background information.. He says he has this best friend Jimmy, who moved to New Hampshire back in the fall sometime. And he’s got this BF named Jake. Jimmy suddenly died, Jake takes over Jimmy’s spot in constantly IMing me telling me that Blake loves me, etc… Blah blah blah.

I’ve always assumed there was something fishy with the whole Blake/Jimmy/Jake thing. Something always came up whenever the two were “in town” that they couldnt come visit me. Jimmy/Jake always used Blake’s Yahoo messanger instead of using his own damn AIM name. The one time that Jimmy posted a comment on my blog, he used blake’s e-mail instead of his own e-mail. Just random small things like that.

I just let it slid mostly, not a big deal, it could all be true…

Well, yesterday Jake had supposedly left Blake a comment on his journal. So my curious mind goes and looks at the logs. The comment that Jake left came from the same damn IP address as the person who posted the entry that Blake had just made.

Here’s the comment post:

blake-access.log.1:207.200.116.199 – – [29/Jan/2006:16:30:56 -0800] “POST /wordpress/wp-comments-post.php HTTP/1.1” 302 5 “http://blake2.cjbonline.com:81/wordpress/?p=26” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; YPC 3.2.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)” “-”

And here’s the post post:

blake-access.log.1:207.200.116.199 – – [25/Jan/2006:16:20:14 -0800] “GET /wordpress/wp-admin/inline-uploading.php?post=-1138234810&action=upload HTTP/1.0” 200 8062 “http://blake2.cjbonline.com:81/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)” “-”

Notice the SAME IP ADDRESS and the same AOL/MSIE/WINDOWSNT information?

Also, if you look at all the comments that Blake has left me on MY journal they ALL come from the same IP range: 207.200.116.*

Also here’s a graphical image for you to see as well:

So I ask him about it and he really avoids answering it, but then suddenly he says that he can’t log in. So I go and look and EVERY comment he’s posted on there and the comment that Jake posted on there is deleted. So I start looking at the logs and I can see from HIS IP address that he’s deleting comments.

As seen here:

64.12.116.12 – – [30/Jan/2006:09:49:06 -0800] “GET /wordpress/wp-admin/edit.php?p=26&c=1#comments HTTP/1.0” 200 5557 “http://blake2.cjbonline.com:81/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?action=confirmdeletecomment&noredir=true&comment=11&p=26” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; YPC 3.2.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)” “-”

So anyways, he lied to me about being the person who left the comments.. Then later in the day he says. “Jake e-mailed it to me and then I posted it” Umhm, that would have been beleivable if you had said that first thing that morning and not deleted all the comments.

WHICH, he claims it was JAKE who deleted all the comments… Now isn’t that just SUCH a coincidence that Jake deleted all the comments AS SOON AS I brought up the fact that there was a problem with them!?!? Hmm. How does that work!

Here’s relevant issues in our conversation:

9:43:32 AM blackc2004: So how come jake used your e-mial addy on his comment?

9:43:58 AM bnett84: he cant put his work address, i asked the same question

9:44:08 AM blackc2004: doesn’t he have a personal e-=mail?

9:44:13 AM bnett84: he is not supposed to use his e-mail adress outside of work, but he does

9:44:30 AM bnett84: it is tied to his work address

9:44:37 AM bnett84: everything is forwarded there

9:44:46 AM blackc2004: well he still could have posted his personal one at least

9:44:57 AM bnett84: he is setting up a gamil account today i think

9:45:19 AM blackc2004: Ohh… i also noticed that his comment and your comment that you left came from the same ip address… that’s really strange

9:45:39 AM bnett84: what comment i left?

9:45:57 AM blackc2004: one where you replied to me.

9:46:18 AM blackc2004: My RSS reader grabs all the informaion when people leave new comments

9:47:19 AM bnett84: are you logged in right now

9:47:24 AM blackc2004: logged into what?

9:47:34 AM bnett84: my wordpress, because i cant get in it

9:49:07 AM bnett84: i cant get in it

9:50:28 AM blackc2004: are you sure you are using the right username/passwd?

9:50:33 AM bnett84: yes

9:50:40 AM blackc2004: do you want me to try?

9:50:44 AM blackc2004: what’s the passwd i gave you?

9:50:45 AM bnett84: you can

9:50:48 AM bnett84: blaker

9:51:39 AM blackc2004: i got in just fine

9:51:46 AM blackc2004: i’ll log out now

9:52:44 AM bnett84: it tells me acces denied, server does not know password

9:53:39 AM blackc2004: I think you’re lying because now the comments are all gone from the main page.

9:53:45 AM bnett84: i am not

9:53:50 AM bnett84: i am trying to get in there

9:54:42 AM bnett84: i got to the main page, there are even post missing

9:54:47 AM bnett84: but i cant log in

9:55:14 AM blackc2004: i don’t see any posts missing

9:55:28 AM bnett84: there are two or three i think

9:56:24 AM bnett84: rememebr the other day i had 20

9:56:35 AM bnett84: now i have 21 and i have posted since then

9:58:03 AM blackc2004: 64.12.116.70 – – [30/Jan/2006:09:49:31 -0800] “POST /wordpress/wp-admin/list-manipulation.php HTTP/1.1” 200 13 “http://blake2.cjbonline.com:81/wordpress/wp-admin/edit-comments.php” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; YPC 3.2.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)” “-”

9:58:22 AM bnett84: whats that?

9:58:36 AM blackc2004: It shows that someone on AOL 9.0 is editing comments this morning

9:58:49 AM blackc2004: at 9:49

9:59:43 AM bnett84: haha it isnt me then

10:00:09 AM bnett84: i dont use AOL 9.0 anymore, i only use Mozilla and Triilion

10:00:33 AM bnett84: are you happy, no more crutch?

10:01:02 AM blackc2004: WEll then, who WOULD be editing your comments suddenly now that I started to question about them?

10:01:31 AM bnett84: JAKE

10:01:47 AM bnett84: i gave him my password last night so he could try and do something with it

10:02:04 AM blackc2004: What’s his screen name, let me talk to him then

10:03:24 AM bnett84: Jimmysbako

10:03:32 AM blackc2004: No, that’s the one you claimed was jimmys

10:03:41 AM bnett84: he uses it too

10:03:55 AM bnett84: he isnt logged on anymore he was earlier this morning

10:03:58 AM blackc2004: wha’st jakes

10:04:53 AM blackc2004: Ok, well why on earth would jake suddenly delete his comment and all of yours and some posts?

10:05:31 AM bnett84: because, i dont want to talk about it

10:05:53 AM bnett84: he is never going to talk to me again is why

10:05:56 AM blackc2004: are you lying to me

10:06:02 AM bnett84: no i am not

10:06:15 AM blackc2004: why is he never going to talk to ou again?

10:06:30 AM bnett84: something i said to him today

10:06:35 AM blackc2004: which was

10:06:53 AM bnett84: i dont want to talk about it i feel like shit already for saying it

10:07:38 AM blackc2004: well if you already feel like shit, then you can tell me. it won’t make it any worse

10:08:38 AM bnett84: i told him he is the worse thing that happenen to Jimmy, and he has ruined my life, and i want him to stay out of it

10:10:15 AM bnett84: i feel so bad, i dont know what to do about it

10:11:37 AM bnett84: he just pissed me off with something he said and i just blew my top

10:12:23 AM blackc2004: Umhm, well it’s just sooo coincidental that he deleted ALL your comments as well as his, why would he do that?

10:12:53 AM bnett84: because he is pissed at me, he has already got into my yahoo and deleted everyones contact information

10:13:33 AM bnett84: he is acting like a little kid

10:15:00 AM bnett84: i dont have your information anymore, i dont have my cousins, which i will have to work on getting back

10:15:35 AM blackc2004: I’m sorry, but i’m not buying it right now

10:15:43 AM bnett84: dont then

10:20:06 AM blackc2004: Blake, there’s no possible way for one IP address to have posted your last post, and that comment and a comment that was supposedly by you.

10:24:45 AM bnett84: i will brb

10:26:16 AM bnett84: i am going to kill myself

10:26:22 AM blackc2004: no you’re not

10:26:29 AM bnett84: why wont i?

10:26:37 AM blackc2004: Why would you

10:26:49 AM bnett84: you hate me Jake hates me the world hates me

10:27:09 AM blackc2004: I just think you should come clean

10:27:24 AM bnett84: i have not done anything

10:28:03 AM blackc2004: Then explain to me how 3 things have come from 1 IP address that should have come from 2.

10:30:45 AM bnett84: Jake just said he manipulated it

10:30:55 AM blackc2004: And how did he manage that?

10:31:12 AM bnett84: i dont know he knows a heel of a lot more about computers than i do

10:31:32 AM blackc2004: well why don’t you have him explain it to me.

10:31:38 AM bnett84: ok

10:31:43 AM bnett84: ask him about it

10:31:50 AM blackc2004: No, you have him expain it

10:33:33 AM bnett84: he said he went into a control panel

10:33:48 AM blackc2004: what kind of control panel?

10:34:29 AM bnett84: hilighted the TCP/IP address grabbed it and put it in his network

10:35:30 AM blackc2004: You can’t just put an IP on his network.

10:35:40 AM bnett84: he said he did

Also there was this:

11:37:09 AM bnett84: It was Jimmy’s mom bringing me my work check

11:37:57 AM bnett84: i got a raise i guess

11:38:05 AM blackc2004: why did she have it

11:38:10 AM bnett84: $15.35 an hour

11:38:42 AM bnett84: i dont know why she had it

11:39:22 AM bnett84: she had to sign for it, thats why

I’m sorry, but WHY DID SHE HAVE TO SIGN FOR YOUR PAYCHECK? And There’s NO WAY that a security guard is making that much an hour!

Then, isn’t it convienent that:

12:34:54 PM bnett84: Jake called, pissed off

12:34:58 PM blackc2004: about

12:35:09 PM bnett84: he just got fired from his Job

12:35:16 PM blackc2004: Oh, why

12:35:58 PM bnett84: he didnt say but he said he will tell me later

Then:

5:36:48 PM bnett84: jake said he was sorry for stuff that he did today,he ruined my whole journl that i have online, that i only let Jimmy read, and now none of it is there and i cant replace it

5:37:31 PM bnett84: i was eventually going to start showing you, but you dont want to know about my past my past is so deressing

Then:

5:42:44 PM blackc2004: and if there’s anything you’ve lied about you have to tell me now

5:43:41 PM bnett84: Jake did not post thatcomment today, i posted it for him, he sent it in an e-mail to me and i wanted it to be put on tere

5:44:33 PM blackc2004: i’m sorry, but i still can’t believe that because if that’s the fact you would have just said so this morning

5:45:14 PM bnett84: he hates me now for putting it on there

5:45:33 PM blackc2004: i dbout that would cause anyone to hate you

5:45:54 PM bnett84: yes because he tld me not to pst it on there and i went ahead and did it anyways

5:46:56 PM blackc2004: i still doubt he would hate you for that

5:47:34 PM bnett84: yes ecause i posted it and then proceded to cuss him out about different things

5:48:31 PM bnett84: but anyways, i have to go to class now, i am going to be online around 7

Also, here’s a conversation with the supposed Jake (Which I asked for at 10:03, and he finially IMed me at 10:20, plenty of time for someone to go create another account):

10:20:15 AM jakemills81: Hi

10:20:23 AM blackc2004: Who’s this

10:21:06 AM jakemills81: i am sure you can figure it out, tell you fucking little friend to fucking get a life and stay out of yours if you know what is good for you

10:21:29 AM blackc2004: I’m not sure what yo are talking about

10:21:53 AM jakemills81: Blake, he is so messed up

10:22:29 AM blackc2004: About?

10:22:43 AM jakemills81: everything

10:23:25 AM blackc2004: I’m not sure what you are saying

10:23:39 AM jakemills81: i dont want to be part of his life anymore, and you shouldnt either, he should die alone

10:23:47 AM blackc2004: Why’s that?

10:24:37 AM jakemills81: he annoys me, fuck, i am trying to ruin his life just as he has mine

10:25:06 AM blackc2004: Oh?

10:26:47 AM blackc2004: How?

10:28:30 AM jakemills81: all his websites, i have done something to, i have outted him to his grandparents

10:29:05 AM jakemills81: im sorry if it has hurt you, but i want to hurt him in some way for hurting me

10:29:17 AM blackc2004: and what has he done to you

10:29:34 AM jakemills81: a lot of different shit

10:29:45 AM jakemills81: i cant take anymore of him

10:29:50 AM blackc2004: such as

10:30:28 AM jakemills81: blamed me for Jims death, assuming he got Jimmys family mad at me and made me go home

10:31:53 AM jakemills81: he cant settle down

10:32:42 AM blackc2004: Umhm.

10:35:52 AM blackc2004: brb – My fridge is rampaging in next doors garden, I need to go cheer it on.

10:41:35 AM blackc2004: back

10:41:50 AM jakemills81: wb

10:43:21 AM jakemills81: tell Blake I’m sorry i am going now

10:43:30 AM blackc2004: you tell him

10:43:58 AM jakemills81: he wont listen to me, he will listen to you

10:45:28 AM jakemills81: im sorry what i said earlier about him too, keep him in your life, he needs it, i am being immature, i should have never stared what i did

10:46:03 AM jakemills81: started*

10:47:11 AM jakemills81: good bye friend

Blake sent me the following e-mail as well:

Hey Babe:

I am sorry if i have ever done anything worng to hurt you. I just want you to know thatyou are a bigpart of my life. I mean if you werent, do you think i would talk to you almost every day? I never should have got involved between you and Austin, because it has hurt our friendship a great deal. I wish we could be back the way we were say four or five months ago. Let me know what i can do to get us back to the way we used to be , because i dont want you to leave my life…btw dont i get 2 or 3 chances? haha j/k. I love you a lot more than you knoe ,and even though you dont know this yet, i look up to you in a number of ways. I wish i could express myself to you more, so you can know my so-called madness, but i am afraid you will not like me anymore. Anyways, i guess i will talk to you later.

Love, Blake–

When i first met you i was afriad to like u, now that i like you im

afraid to love u, now that i love u im afraid lose you!

I’m not even sure I can believe that he has cancer anymore…. I just have to re-evaluate everything.

And lastly, I just want to say how annoyed I am at Ausitn now for letting him STILL COME DOWN TODAY! Hello, after all the shit from today, why WOULD HE LET HIM do that… If they make out or anything, I’m going to be SO FUCKING PISSED. I dunno how I feel about Austin any more, I’m not sure I can deal with this.

Adios.

New Stuff

Hmm, so yesterday… I installed WP2.0 on my dev site again, with a fresh copy of my DB. Then I started playing with it more, got new plugin’s and deleted out old ones that I don’t use any more or were broken. I even updated a few that were broken and I wanted to keep. So yeah.

I also found a COOL new feature that I’ve actually submitted code for twice. If you are logged in, you can now see your private entries right in line with all the other posts. Which is very cool! Something I’ve been asking for since the early days of B2. I wrote code for it way back then and had it on my site. Submitted th code to the b2 guy and he said it was a feature that not enough people would use so he rejected it. Then when wordpress took over the b2 code, I submited it again with the same rejection. Now YEARS later, I’m glad to see they finially implemented the feature! 😀

Anyhow, I’ve started designing a new theme, it’s going to be all original too, something that I haven’t done in a very long time. Most of my themes are ones I’ve simply modified with new colors/graphics, etc. And usually the graphics are all stolen and just modified a little bit. This one is going to be a personal graphics and all! Don’t hold your breath though, it’s going to be a while.

I went out and bought a new computer last night as well. It’s an AMD 64-bit, 1Gig RAM, and 200Gig HD. It’s running pretty nicely. But OMG, I fucking HATE the way that windows computers are shipped. WHY is it impossible to get a windows computer with just simply the fucking OS installed? Why do they insist on installing all this extra CRAP galor! In fact, the first time I started it the extra crap that they installed cause the damn thing to kernel panic! How horrible is that? I had to start it in fucking safe mode and delete the offending program before I could even use the damn thing. WTF.

So I played around with it some and installed Sim City 4 and have been playing with that for a while now. I’m not too sure yet if I shall keep windows on there, or if it will be replaced with Linux. We will see. If I do keep windows, I WILL be deleteing the one that was pre-installed and installing a fresh copy.

Every morning on my drive into work, I listen to star 98.7 here in LA/OC. They claim to be the station with the most variety. Yet, in the 30 minutes that I drive to work, they play about 2-3 songs… And every day I hear the SAME FUCKING SONGS! How is that the station with the most variety, if all you are playing is 1 song every 10 minutes in the morning, I should NEVER hear the same damn song. It’s the same thing when I drive home, they are always playing the same songs! It’s getting really old, but I really enjoy the morning show people there. THey are funny

I haven’t seen Austin since Tuesday, he’s been busy with his family and doing interviews. He’s taking his mom to the airport at 10 today, and I think he wants me to leave work then and hang out, but I think that might be a little to early to be leaving. So maybe I’ll leave about noonish. Though I don’t want to make him wait around in the area till then. Who knows.

I also really want to get camping since I didn’t get too last week and I still have all the food in my fridge that is going bad. So I have to either eat it all or go camping and eat it. I vote for camping, but it seems that Austin isn’t too hot into that any more. Maybe I will still have to be going alone. Oh well.

I’m surprised that the Audi A3 is winning on my poll in the previous post… I thought most people hated the way it looked!

Adios!

Sex, Gilmore!

ARG! Can I fucking SCREAM at our Helpdesk guy? He’s telling LIES, LIES I tell you! God, so fucking annoying. You know, if I called and got someone like him at the Helpdesk, I would fucking hang up on his ass. Our software is slow NOT BECAUSE we as SA’s and DBA’s haven’t done our job, there’s MORE then enough power to serve the sort of application that we host. Someone fire him!

Anyways, so yesterday was pretty busy… I had lots of stuff to do in the morning and got that going, then right before lunch I got a huge project that I sorta stole from someone else. It’s going to be exciting, getting Oracle 64bit running on x86_64 Linux. 🙂 So yeah. But as I was going to go talk to someone about it Austin called, so we went off to lunch. It was a nice lunch we went to this mexican place and I had a Cheese thing. I was so stuffed! After that we walked over to Staples cause it was right there and he tried to convert me back to windows and I tried to convert him to apple! I’d have to say so far that’s the only annoying thing about him, is that he’s a windows geek! Gahh! Chris Pirillo comes to mind. That man annoys the hell out of me!

So I got back from lunch and started talking to people about it and got CentOS installed. Also someone else showed up and I had to help them with an RCF file. I finially got out of here at 2:30 and got home and then went on my bike ride. Got home and showered then talked to Austin and invited him over to watch the new gilmore girls, since he had never seen it.

So he went to the gym and then came over and we hung out. Watched an Episode of Sex and the City, which I have to admit is a very funny show. After that we talked for like 20 minutes till GG came on then watched that. It was an OK episode, not the best ever. I think this series is really coming to an end. The whole Luke has a daughter thing is a little out there.

Speaking of though, The West Wing really needs to end. This season has just NOT been that good. I’ve heard that this will be the last season and it will end with the announcement of the new president. So we’ll see.

After that we watched House, which was ok, but I didn’t really enjoy it that much and then we watched another epsidoe of sex and the city, then he gave me a nice back rub, then I kicked him out cause I had to go to bed. It was nice hanging out with him.

Blake says that today is Jimmy’s funeral, or something like that. Seems really quick to me, that they could cremate him and ship him back so fast. But I guess that’s the way it is. Sad as it is. I’m strangely effected by it. I’m not really sure how I can explain it.

Susan e-mailed me again yesterday. It’s nice that she keeps e-mailing me and asking how my life is, but I’m just not too sure about what to say back to her anymore. I haven’t talked to her son in like over a month now, so it just seems wierd.

OMG! Yesterday was a HUGE day for us Apple fans! TWO Intel macs introduced, and some cool new software! I can’t wait! Who wants to buy it for me?

With that, I have to go work on Oracle 64bit. Adios!

Geek To Me

Blake sent this to me a while back… He said it reminded him of me.. I thought it was cute:

How I learned to stop fretting and love a computer nerd

I had been going out with him for about four days. It was summer, and we were lying on a blanket in the park, shaded by the whispering leaves of a tall maple. I was trying to remember the age of a mutual friend.

Without saying a word, he sat up and pulled out a tiny zip-lock bag from his backpack. From it, he extracted a square of paper and unfolded it until it turned into an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet containing in 6-point print the addresses, phone numbers and birth dates of all his friends and acquaintances.

What kind of alien life-form was I dealing with? He had thick eyeglasses and mad-scientist hair. He wore T-shirts commemorating computer conferences. He used CD-ROMs as coffee-table coasters, and his china cabinet housed electronic gear.

I knew he was a computer programmer, a self-proclaimed “geek.” But I had counted on there being some self-mocking irony in his proclamation.

Instead, he was the kind of guy who opens the door for you and offers to carry your bag. He was attentive, ready to take you home as soon as you showed signs of tiring. And he could write e-mails with a humorous edge. Plus, behind those thick lenses he had large blue eyes.

When he asked me out for coffee, then for dinner, then for dancing I could not quite say no.

I came to understand that he didn’t mean to be socially inept; he was just on a perpetual quest for efficiency. He wrote his grocery list on the back of debit-card slips. He named items in the shortest possible form. Sometimes it was “tom,” for tomatoes. Once I stood looking at the list on his refrigerator, trying to figure out what “zalm” was.

“Oh, that’s ‘salmon’ in Dutch,” he explained.

He had a huge music collection, which he had meticulously converted into MP3s and sorted into categories on his computer. But I couldn’t figure out how to access his music because, of course, he didn’t use Windows; he used Linux.

When my birthday rolled around, he secretly e-mailed my friends and relatives to ask if they wanted to chip in to buy me an LCD screen for my office computer. He suggested a PayPal account. (My parents preferred to drive over and hand him a check.)

At some point I can’t say when I began to use double digits to program the microwave (33 seconds, 99 seconds so much faster!). I organized my storage closet, adopting his system of labeling each box with a letter and keeping a list on the computer of what each contained. I even found myself perusing one of his favorite Web sites, the one with the motto, “News for Nerds.”

Soon I concluded that resistance was futile. I moved in with him that fall, only to discover that living together meant…sharing all his toys. I could borrow his laptop and sit in the backyard, writing e-mail via our wireless connection. We could sit in bed and watch DVDs on his laptop’s deluxe 16.1-inch screen. Once, we went to a cheap motel and cozied up with old episodes of “Fawlty Towers.”

There were practical advantages too. He offered personalized tech support, 24/7. He provided free Web service, thanks to the server in the living room. And he could combine all the leftovers in the fridge into a scrumptious meal. Most of the time.

He was always open to trying things, whether it was a camping trip, a new restaurant or a classical music concert. And he always seemed to be able to put what I was feeling into just a few concise, efficient words.

Six months after our first date, we were sitting at a Spanish restaurant. He took my hand, shyly, and blurted out, “I made a New Year’s resolution that I would ask you to marry me, and I see no reason to wait any longer.” It was January 4.

I agreed that we would send out the invitations by e-mail. He agreed to wear clean socks for the occasion. The following September, we wed.

And now, every morning I get up and face one fact: I married a geek. I made my choice, and I’ve never been happier. Now if only I could find some teacups to go with those CD-ROM coasters.
