Weekend of Whoa
The weekend oh whoa started early friday morning when urgo.org lost its connectivity to the internet. It turns out that at&t wanted to switch ips on me. Instead of 65.96.45.246 urgo.org is currently @ 24.218.103.37, a more cableish ip. Downtime was waaaaay longer then I wished for and ended up in a reboot.. :( Oh well. urgo.org being down is by far not the most unfortunate part of the weekend. On Friday I was driving with russ to the monthly 2600 meeting in Northampton. We got more then half of the way there when I hear "ding ding ding ding!!!" and look at my temperature gauge and notice it is up all the way.. again! (Am I not supposed to go to northampton? Twice my car overheated on the way to there). I was in stop and go traffic at this time and pulled into the driveway I was stopped at. It turns out that I was right at "Saturn of Hadley" and they were just about to close. They took a quick look at my car and told noticed there was oil in with the coolant..... a broken head gasket..... AGAIN! The good part of this story however is they let me park in their parking lot for the weekend (I gotta get it towed tomorrow), the bus stop (to northampton) is at Saturn of Hadley, and right across the street is AAA. Since I needed a car this weekend to dog-sit at home (my parents went to parents weekend at my brother's college, Ithaca) Martha err I mean Brian was nice enough to let me borrow his car. I wish my car was as cool as his heh. Anyway yeah. So Conway is cool. The rest of the weekend really wasn't that bad. On Saturday I went out to pizza with Big Dan, then to Amherst to get chinh and company (Dan drove) to see a movie (Ballistic.. bad plot, but pretty good movie), then back home. On the way to Amherst we stopped at my car to pick up some stuff I had left in there, but I forgot to take it out of the trunk when he dropped me off! I ended up driving to Sunderland early sunday to pick the stuff up from his car while he was inside some building working. After that I got a bit of reading in and did laundry before coming back to umass. So I guess the weekend wasn't all bad (except for urgo.org/dotget.org/etc being down), just Friday. Friday the 4th is my Friday the 13th I guess. Tomorrows going to suck though. I need to do something about my car. =[ Posted by Urgo at October 06, 2002 08:18 PMComments

Woah Pulski, that IS scary. What were you doing there? :) And was is is unless they moved it on me w/o telling me. Posted by: Urgo on October 9, 2002 02:51 PM"Was" meaning that he went home afterwards and took his car with him. :) He was doing server work for them migrating from Novell to Win2k. I wasn't there, I just know that is what he was doing that day because he had mentioned having to work on Sunday. Damn weekend of Whoa? Gotta be a little better with those titles.
