Asymptomatic

The winner of the first half hat is…. Paul Post!

Congrats to Paul for winning an official Asymptomatic hat!

Just to give you a little idea of what things look like around here at Asymptomatic Headquarters, I filmed this video with an overview of the equipment that I’m using to produce the blog entries and the audio (there is audio coming, I promise!) that is going live today.

The sound is a little funky because I forgot to turn off the ceiling fan, and it’s blowing across the camera’s microphone. All these computers (there are others in the room that are not in this movie!) generate a surprisingly terrible heat without some air circulation.

Thanks, Berta, for retrieving the missing mysterywire from Radio Shack. I should probably have like 30 of these on hand, but for some reason, since I need one desperately, not so much.

I’ve been on support with the host for a while now. Apparently, the database that controls access to their power panels is faulty, and servers are simply turning off willy-nilly. This is how I imagine it, anyway.

I’ll be back on track with Almost Friday as soon as I can stop talking to these support people.

Well, it looks like a short break is in order. I have no idea where the story is going next, and I need to refuel.

I’m going to assemble the audio from the hotline for use. Berta is going to catch up now that the kids are in bed. Hopefully she can come up with some good direction for things to go.
