How much memory... or do we have a brain?

Question:
How much memory do I need?

Answer:
The asterisk demo file system is 115 MB big.
Asterisk alone takes less than 3.5 Mb.
In memory, it takes a maximum of 2.3% of the memory.

Okay, thanks guys... that helps a lot.
How much memory do I need?

Grrr....

Last night went out with Ashley to see a battle of the bands at Nevin's in Evenston. Walking Spanish was playing.

It was a good show, but I only stayed for the first three bands because Ashley wanted to get home. It's a good thing because I was super tired and couldn't get out of bed in the morning. It may have had to do with eating an omlette before going to bed.

I'm super bummin' right now. Not sure exactly why, but a combination of things. Luther wants me to go out to Grace O'Malley's for a fish fry, and Ashley is going with his brother to 10pin for some bowling. I'm contemplating just going to sleep because I have a 12 noon soccer game tomorrow, and want to crash Bill Downey's wedding ceremony tomorrow at 3.

Walking spanish is playing again tomorrow night up at the Bottom Lounge... I think.

Starting working on a new project at work. In a week or so we need to have calculated the cost on a board that does essentially a VOIP gateway with ethernet on one side and DSL/T1/Ethernet on the other, and POTS service too. A bit agressive for the price point they want.

Hmmmm. maybe I shouldn't talk about work stuff on this blog.

Anyway, the garage didn't get worked on today. I think they thought it was too cold. The flat roof under the hot-tub was done the other day, and didn't come out quite as nice as it should have. They didn't use the material that the architect had spec'd out. I guess it will work, but I'm not too happy with the results. Fortunately it will all get covered in cedar, so you shouldn't really see it.

I shouldn't leave the default title: poleguy.

Just noticed I shouldn't leave the default title: poleguy... it's not very informative.

Here's an interesting website:
guess your gender

But the best one this week of course is: google maps

No more yahoo, no more mapquest! Yeay!

News of the day: Jesus will be a preemie this year! The feast of the Annunciation has been moved to April 4th because of a collision with Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter, and then Holy Week! Blam! Zaam! Kapow!

Long day. Tired. Didn't eat much today. Updating website. Burnt out.

SSH wasn't working on my box at home lately. Stopped and restarted daemon, which seemed to fix it, but I'm worried it might break again after the next reboot.

I think it's getting time to build a new machine, but I'm out of money because of the garage project. Running over budget a bit.

Time to do taxes. Hopefully I'll be getting something back. Probably not much though. Which means I'll need to pay my property taxes out of my bank account, which means I'll be a wee bit short on paying the overages on the garage. Hopefully I can make up the difference in sweat equity.

Day one of no alcohol. Mike reports that next weekend will be tough for him because his cousins John and Pete will be in town for Bill Downey's wedding. (I might crash the wedding next weekend depending on what time it is. It's at St Vincents.) Julia is having Dim Sum in china town in the evening, but that might not be a problem if the wedding is early.

Left work early today because my office was full of smoke. I wonder if it will be there when I return in the morning. I have grand plans of waking up early and heading to work early and getting back from work early to watch the Illini play ball.

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras. I may give up alki hall for Lent. Chris is going to, so I figure why not?

I baked banana bread tonight.

This morning I kicked James out... I told him no more sleeping on my couch... etc. He didn't like that much, but he's gone.

I sorted through all my mail tonight. I have my tax pile separated from my other pile at least. That makes me feel that I accomplished something.

No word from Shure. Patience, Patience.

I am updating my garage project webpage. I'm still missing the last few days in pictures, but I don't want to run out to the car to get my camera.
