I'm back at work for the first time in two weeks. I was supposed to be back in last Thursday, but was out sick.
I'm still sick, tho much better than I was. I brought my codeine cough syrup to work, since I expect I'll need it.
I've no idea what to do with myself today.

Also, I've been thinking of shutting down sixmore. Just release the code to the public (either gpl or just public domain), stop renewing the domains, and shut down the vhost. It's become completely obvious that nobody cares anymore; least of all me.

question...

USB spec limits cable length to 5m for highspeed devices. It also limits you to 5 hubs deep on a connection. I need to go something like 7m or so, from a hub to a hub. So, computer to hub-right-next-to-it to hub-in-next-corner to final-hub. Easy, right? The first and last hubs are powered. Does the middle hub need to be powered, or can I get one of those 'cheap' unpowered things they sell for laptops, just to be a relay in the corner?

I just scheduled the work for my second crown. Turns out they had a cancelation and will see me tomorrow afternoon. Fun.

Is it fair to expect the man you keep giving fish to to pay attention to where you're getting the fish and eventually figure out that there's this thing called "fishing" that he could possible do for himself?

Is it subsequently fair, when he proves incapable of this, to shove the fish so far up his ass that he'll be able to breathe underwater?
