Whoops.

(I managed to free up some space. And yes, I did name my file server after a tennis player.)

Here's an off-topic response.

We are looking for a few mic stands, another mic, and maybe a body mic for our ceremony sound system. What would it take to borrow/rent these from you?

Barring schedule conflicts, not much. I've got two stands and a couple of mics to put on them, plus a lavalier mic if I can find the tie-clip for it. I'm hoping you don't need it to be cordless.

Do I already know the date? (That is, did I just forget where I wrote it down, or do I really not yet know it?)

I think you never knew it. April 30. During the afternoon.

Heh. And this is strange how? Three of our four cats are named for

* a male Canadian figure skater (Elvis STOJKO)
* a female Japanese professional wrestler (Sugar SATO), and
* a gangster profiled in Coppola's _The Cotton Club_ (George1 "Big FRENCHY" DeMange, as played by the incomparably phlegmatic Fred Gwynne)

Skye came to us already named, although we may have orthographically added a final "e" because "Dowager Princess Skye" looks so much better on paper...

1A previous cat actually named George was so named because of this line from a character in a Bugs Bunny cartoon: "I will love him and hug him and pet him and squeeze him and I will call him George."

I didn't consider it strange so much as "yes, I went with something that corny".

As for cats ... what counts as a "strange" name for a cat?

I think I'd name my servers after butlers, that is, if I had servers.

IIRC, that's what Karl G. does. Lurch, Jeeves, Ruggles, etc.

I've got my workstations and the main Linux box named after musicians (tipton, rupaul, boygeorge, carlos), the name server named for a movie director (wood), the firewall named for a soldier (stjoan), the syslog/timeserver/etc. box named after a governor (cornbury), and the dialout machine named for a diplomat (eon). Ifwhen I've got a laptop running, I'll name it after a travel writer (morris), and when I get around to configuring an IDS machine, I'll name it after someone from law enforcement (hoover).

I don't remember whether you were around the last time I talked about it, but yes, there's a unifying theme. ;-)

Sorry to be a bother, but could you please cut this? I have a too narrow screen.

(I know; it's about time to change. But I love my tablet dearly.)

Yow -- here I thought I was the outlier in terms of small screen/window size. Is making the font smaller enough? If not, I'll start thinking of how I want to phrase the cut-label. *sigh*

Don't bother; the entry's passed so far back it's not of any consequence any more...

My screen is 640 pixels across, but since icons are off to the side, I have a very narrow reading window...
