Archived System Update
I’ve moved Leinninger.com to a “new” server. The old server (dual Pentium Pro Compaq Proliant w/ SCSI RAID and tons of ram) suffered from over-heating that surely would have worsened in the summer. The new server is an older Macintosh G3 (~333 MHz, 315 megs of ram, Fast SCSI-2) running OS X Server 10.2. So far I’m thoroughly impressed.

Memorial Day autocross. Brad was faster… I’m still more cool.
Yesterday (Memorial Day) was my first Autocross. Brad and I did well. Brad’s time of 41.191 beat my best of 43.447… however, he’s been in 3 autocrosses and I set my tire pressures way too low. In any event, he drove better than I… I just like to justify things with lame excuses. It was a lot of fun. I think autocrossing will help me find the limits of my driving. This is probably the last one I’ll participate in until August due to a very full calendar.

I’m going racing. Stay back 100 feet.
I’ve officially signed up for my first Autocross race. It’s the only race of the year that’s not on a Sunday. (Hey, I can’t interfere with our dance lessons!)
Work has been a little hectic recently. A new system to bypass all of our deployment rules has been created by marketing. They call it a “fast track” swat. More or less, they make a request (that is supposed to be 100% final) and we’re expected to get it to the production environment in about 2 business days. At least I got a pseudo-promotion a few weeks ago. I’ll remember that as I drink my way to happiness. 😉

Upgrades to WRX. We learn to dance.
Well, I finally put lighter wheels and stickier tires on my WRX. Me likey. The extra roll and understeer found under strong cornering has disappeared. (The OEM WRX sedan swaybar I installed earlier probably helps.) Although, the car seems to require a little more involved steering input at times. I hope to participate in an upcoming Solo II (autocross) event. Since the weather has not been cooperating, there have been no trips to Milan this season. Maybe I can make 1 or 2 this year…
Gina and I have been attending dance lessons. I’d like to take a moment to emphasize that I’m not gay. Not that anything is wrong with that. I’m just not. However, I think I like dancing… or at least I like dancing with Gina. Hmmm… probably the later.

Critical mass… approaching… iTMS announced.
Augh! I need a break. My schedule is packed for the next 2 months… How am I supposed to do yardwork, car stuff, or relax (heaven forbid)?!
The racing season has started. This contributes to the congested schedule mentioned above. It’s fun being back at the track, but with only one car to shake down, it leaves a lot of extra time to just sit.
Apple‘s music store is very cool. I hope it supports Windows users in the near future. I’ve already bought an album. Me = impressed.
