Please don’t take my stars!

God this is funny. Russell Crowe said the FBI contacted him in 2001 telling him he was a potential kidnap target for al-Qeada.

All part of a plot to take our hollywood elite away from us to cause “cultural destabilization”. Americans must really be seen by the rest of the world as hardcore pussies if taking away actors and those types will supposedly cause our society to collapse.

Or, like the website I read this on speculates, maybe the FBI just overheard someone talking about how good of an actor russell crowe is. I can’t believe Google News actually links to shit ass news sources like this:

Upgrading

0

I’m probably going to be upgrading this system to a Slackware 10.1 install sometime this week. Not going to bother with an “upgrade”, probably just going to do a fresh install.

10.1 includes the vsftpd ftp server, which I like a lot more than the previous ftp server, ProFTPD.

I’m feeling a lot better now. I just have a little bit of a hacky cough left, which is starting to go away.

The webhost switch at work went over pretty well. A couple people were having e-mail issues, but I think they’re mostly all worked out now. I really like our new host, BlueHost. They provided me with SSH access so I can do a lot of things to the server manually. Having SSH access proved to be quite valuable when appending users old mailbox files to their new ones. I don’t think it would have been possible without SSH.

I haven’t heard anything more about Mediacom upgrading their available internet packages. Right now they just have their basic 3000/256 and a lower tier at 1500/128. If their new speed level costs more, I’ll probably shell out the money for it. It’d be awesome if it’s another free upgrade though, if it’s even going to happen.


Holy fuck am I sick.

Yah, I haven’t been this sick in a long time. I think this is the first time in like 3 years I’ve been sick.

I didn’t go to work yesterday. I had a fever of about 102. A bunch of other people at work are sick too. Tom is going home early today and coming back in at 5:00pm to process orders and do a few other things. I called Pam and she said I need to go the doctor so I can come back to work. There’s no way that’ll happen since they won’t even provide me with health insurance.

If I’m not better by tomorrow I’ll probably spend my own money to go to the doctor. It’s a good thing I got my tax return back, or I probably wouldn’t go to the doctor.

One guy at work has walking pnemonia and bronchitis. I almost think I have the same thing, my chest is killing me. I’ve stopped smoking since I got sick, that should help me get better. Hopefully I don’t start smoking again after I get better. I am gonna try hard not to.
