It's a home office... no, it's a sports bar... IT'S BOTH! Now that I've got my own place, I'm closer to realizing my dream of putting a brass pole in my living room. This picture was actually taken last night. To the right of the mirror/glass signs is where this server resides.

"Seven day honeymoon makes one whole week."
(Funnier if read out loud)
Well, I'm on week one of the bachelor life. I've spent more time trying to figure out where to put the beer signs than anything else. I've already screwed up a bowl of Easy Mac (I forgot to put the water in the noodles prior to microwaving them), and I've had beef jerky for breakfast. I've got two lawn chairs where a couch should be, and I've been taking my trash to various receptacles around town, since the previous tenants of my condo left me a full can.

WILL BE DOWN beginning 4pm pacific TODAY: January 16, 2003. It's possible that service will resume as early as Friday, but Monday is more likely. The server and DSL service are being moved to a new location and new equipment has been ordered (not yet arrived).

While the server is down, all email to any of the above referenced domains (unless otherwise noted) will be rejected, and requests for websites will result in a "Page not found" error.

Thank you for your patience in this matter,

Thanks to everyone who helped me move this weekend. - JG

I noticed that I've only gotten 200-300 pieces of email spam a day lately and the sparse personal mail I once received diminished as well. Something geeking out with the goochonline.net mail server. I've devised a workaround. If I haven't responded to email, that's why.

I'm moving soon. Moving to a place where, I hope to God, they have DSL service. Otherwise, this site's going to get a lot smaller. The move means that there will be a total server outage for a day. There are some other sites hosted on the server, I'll break the news to those webmasters probably after they call me complaining that their email/websites are down.

I'm a dick.

I've lost seven pounds since New Years. One hundred thirty-seven, if you count my ex-girlfriend. An ex-girlfriend who, by the way, is awesome for letting me keep the server here until I migrate it over to the new residence, reducing down time. An unlikely hero of the cyberworld.

It's always on the days that I need to get to work that I decide to sleep in. Total elapsed time from eyes opening in bed to ass in office chair: 37 minutes.

That Andy Richter show is the funniest goddamned show on television right now. Simpsons is funny, but worn out (and the writers know it).

If you like rap, particularly the white boyed honkified style of rap like Bloodhound Gang, Beastie Boys, Will Smith, etc... Check out Satyricon on January 14th. It's a work night, so call in sick for the 15th. The show will include Perfect in Plastic, Buttery Lords, and Cool as Cucumbers; all Portland acts. Fun!

I'm moving next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I just found out that I'm moving my office desk as well as a lot of others on Wednesday and Thursday. Five days of moving?

Fuck. If I wanted to do manual labor, I wouldn't have gone to college.

"Gooch," you reply: "If you didn't want to do manual labor, you shouldn't have gone to Portland State."

You think you're so funny, don't you.
