Iron Man (spoilers behind cut)
For anyone who is wondering, Iron Man is several kinds of awesome. Not a perfect movie, but a very good one. I haven't been a huge Iron Man fan over the years - I've really only encountered him in other people's books - but this drew me in and was completely credible.

The scenes testing the armor components are worth the whole movie, but there's more there too.






arrr, here be spoilers )

PS: stick around for the end of the credits, you'll be glad you did.

P.P.S: there were a zillion previews, including the new Indiana Jones, the new Batman, Prince Caspian, The Spirit, and then a couple more which I'll likely be skipping (including a new Hulk). This will be a good year for superhero movies. yay!

bleh
I've been a bit "off" all day - I'm not really sure why, but lots of things just haven't quite set right with me. I'm hoping that a few episodes of family guy and a glass of cabernet can fix this...

inhale, exhale
The past couple of weeks have found me writing very little here - this is largely due to my butt being kicked thoroughly at work. My current project overlapped with my last project, and the new one is high-stress, high-risk, and started out being behind schedule. Eeek! But we finally had a test with the end customer on Friday which we passed well, and so I think that things will be a bit more manageable in the coming weeks. I've got a couple of guys working under me - one of whom is solid, but less of a router guy than a server guy, and the other of whom could be well described as "perfect." So there's hope, and I think that we'll be able to deliver on time, if not actually ahead of schedule.

===

Here are a couple of technically interesting things I've recently discovered:

(wan cloud)
|      |
R1 -- R2
| \  / |
| H1 |
\      /
\    /
H2

Assume that H1 sends multicast data to H2, and H2 sends multicast data to the WAN. Assume also that R1 is the primary path for both hosts. Standard design, right? R2 exists for backup, all is right with the world. Assume further that R1 and R2 are ISRs which have the built-in ethernet switching modules (this is typical of the 18xx, 28xx, and 38xx line). The ESWs behave like 2950s which happen to be internal, down to requiring the use of the (shudder) vlan database.

Well, there's a little gotcha here: if the wan link from R1 fails, you'd expect the data to flow from R1 to R2 and then to the WAN. However, it doesn't actually do that - what happens is that packets are seen on the inbound ethernet interface on R1, on the outbound VLAN on R1, and on the outbound ethernet which corresponds to the outbound vlan on R1, and on the inbound ethernet on R2, but are not seen by the inbound VLAN on R2.

PIM works fine, completely as expected - you see mroutes populate, both *,g and s,g joins, but you don't get any actual data flow. Worse, if you shut down the any of the interfaces on R2, you get a brief data flow, but then it stops after a minute or so.

Why is this? This deviled me for quite a while, but there is a helpful document on cisco's webpage about multicast and vlans which totally nails the issue -

it's IGMP snooping, which normally is a helpful feature which limits multicast traffic to those switchports which requested it - basically, R2 doesn't receive an IGMP join on it's interswitch vlan, so igmp snooping kills the flow - it receives the packets but doesn't punt them to the L3 process.

The solution? Disable IGMP snooping. Try this, and all of a sudden, it's like clicking the "don't suck" checkbox - everything works like magic, birds start singing, and toast is toastier.

An era closes
Noah and I finished recording New Song in my Head tonight, and once we can all agree on the order of the songs, we'll send the CD off to the duplicators. IY"H, we'll have plenty of time before the release party on June 7th.

Yep, that's right - The Franchise will be releasing Lingua Franchise on Saturday June 7th, at the Grog and Tankard in Washington DC at 10:45 PM. w00t!

I've definitely got some website updating to do...

===

Today was frustrating, but finally productive. I've got a particular set of coworkers who are challenging - they're quite set on their processes, and think that it's completely reasonable to require that a customer conform to their particular business process. I'll give them points for tenacity: on an escalation call with folks oodles of levels above me, they didn't back down an inch. My view is that the customer's business process and needs are more important, so if the reason we can't do X is because "that's just not our process," that explanation fails to move me. Even more annoying was that particular approach being described not as a bug or other limitation, but as a feature - "we make sure that Y problem won't happen" (yeah, because you don't have Z capability...).

sheesh.

But in more positive news, I didn't have to go to Miami after all (although really, of all the places to go, Miami isn't a bad one), and we were able to find a workaround which didn't break the internal process too badly and still meet the customer requirements.

===

It turns out that a project teammate is a board gamer, and he even lives in DC (yes, we carpool). Even better, he's interested in Civilization (!) and he and one of his frat buddies are going to go run with the bulls in Pamplona, SP. To me, running with the bulls sounds like something which would have to be inspired by more beers than I could count, but hey, everyone's got their jollies.

A snarky thought
Democratic party politics are the most amusing blood sport for Republicans in a very long time. Yes, of course, John McCain won PA: duh. But one question for the Democratic party is this:

Are the American people supposed to believe that you will successfully end the US involvement in world wars if you can't end a primary?



For my equal-opportunity snark, what I'd like to see all candidates asked is this: "You have all been in politics for a long time. Please tell me an issue about which you changed your mind and position in the past 15 years, and what is it which led you to change your mind?"

Because if you haven't changed your mind on something in the last 15 years, then you're not learning from the changing environment in which we find ourselves, and I don't want you as a leader.

Back to work: booked 56 hours in 4 days last week, on track to do the same this one...

I can almost taste the freedom
Sarah and I just finished searching for hametz (leaven) - this year had lots of high-risk moments where weren't sure how everything would come together, but it always seems to. Now off to bed, and hopefully to find some acceptable romaine lettuce in the morning (what I found was all wilty and gross).

An update
The maple tree in our treebox is finally starting to leaf out - I don't know why, but it always seems about a month or so behind other trees in getting and shedding its leaves. This makes me happy about outside.

However, the fact that all of the other pollinating plants are pollinating this week has given me misery++ in the form of pustulent eyes et al. Given that pollen is how plants reproduce, I think I really can blame this on the fucking trees and mean it literally.

===

I've given our "here's a serious whack at the album" mix to the band. We're just starting to set the dates for a release party now - I've been aiming for the night of June 7 (erev, erev shavuot).

I picked a bonus track, and the current tentative order is:

New Song in my Head
Static
Chick Magnet
The Benefit of Knowing Jane
Absinthe (makes the heart grow fonder)
DCeasons
Big Bad Wolf
Storybook Romance
Analog Boy
Zombies
American Cyborg
Cyrano
Shopping Blues
Psycho Neighbor
(bonus track, and I'm not going to say what it is now...)

The total is something like 52 minutes, so it'll be a decent amount of music for $10.

===

I finished rereading The Mote in God's Eye and The Gripping Hand, and I was a little bit let down- TGH ended with a bit of a whimper instead of the bang for which I longed. It's still good, and they're both still recommended, but not quite what I was hoping for.

ugh
I went to Arlington Urgent Care last night, to have them tell me that the pus coming out of my eye is allergy-related (!)

I took the recommended Zyrtec last night, because apparently the world consensus is that it's a sedative - but my body doesn't know anything about consensus, so I got a grand total of 1.5 hours sleep. Clean bathroom? check! Mixdown most of album? check!

Speaking of the album, we're almost done! All mixed but one song now.

Civilization!
Thank you to everyone who seeded the civilization game during March:

The votes went like this: Andrew 56, Elanit 54 (3 1st place), David 54 (2 1st place), Matt 42, Keith 41, Michael 28, Sarah 25 (!) and Shoshana 23. Sarah is of course the "bye." I tried a different strategy this game: I figured I haven't treated civilization as a wargame in a really long time, so it was worth a shot - you can judge for yourself how it worked out.

The variations we played were:

1) 15 card limit. This didn't actually come into play, because when we ended (at the 1300 marker on the AST, near havdalah), the leader had 14 cards.

2) stoic option. This also didn't come into play - noone happened to get more than two calamities at the end of a turn.

3) Civil war <-> civil disorder. Matt pointed out that having civil war come up as a "4" does provide a lot of "shake the board up" impetus - after each civil war in this game, the couple of people who were far behind the others got a quick boost for a while. Perhaps we should go back to regular?

4) Selecting countries based on pseudorandom order. Based on a name based algorithm, we selected in order: Shoshana picked Babylon, Matt picked Egypt, Keith picked Africa, I picked Assyria, Elanit picked Illyria, Andrew picked Crete, and Michael picked Thrace.

Here's the final score:
Elanit - 3573
Matt - 3190
Shoshana - 3120
Michael - 3034
Keith - 2652
Andrew - 2616
David - 2107

And here is the bracket:



I spent the vast majority of the game attacking Andrew and Michael - largely fruitlessly. However, it is noteworthy that they had to use an awful lot of resources in fighting with me, so I think that the warfare did serve to take us all down. Shoshana and I had a peaceful border through the entire game (!) although I've got to say that I was pretty darn tempted to break it about every turn - there were several cities which would have been ripe for the cracking.

One thing I've noticed is that having lots of cities on the board = larger treasury = fewer farmers = gets to move last. Perhaps one of the problems with my war strategy is that I didn't strategically reduce my population at the beginning of the game... There were a ton of fights I lost because I had to move first, giving either Andrew or Michael the chance to precisely calculate the best way to respond.

All in all, that was a great game. (I admit to being terribly frustrated by getting blocked at the Iron age for three turns due to inability to keep 4 cities...)

And the biggest thanks of all go to Sarah, for putting up with the Barbarian hordes...

It's Tuesday, so this must be Nashville.
Some quick hits:

Dave turned me on to a moment of sheer awesomeness:


===

We finished Cyrano last week, did the coda for Zombies, and are almost done with DCeasons. I think Jackson's vocal there is just stellar.

Unfortunately, it's one step forward and two steps back: we've got a few more vocal takes to do - if we're lucky, we might get at least a couple done this week.

Mikvah, smickvah.
(written yesterday, not posted until now)

Yesterday was a shitty day in some respects. Specifically, helping RG troubleshoot and clean up the Mikvah from a main sewer line blockage. That was multiple hours, and required that we drain, clean, and refill the immersion pool (on the chance that dirty water had gotten into it). But I was pleased to still make it to the KI banquet honoring the Fellners and the KI Sisterhood (KIS… there has to be a joke somewhere in that acronym).

I’ll say publicly what I told to them: regarding the Sisterhood, I was an early and harsh skeptic. I was one of the folks who argued all over the place that this was a relic of a more sexist time, and much as there was no “brotherhood” there was no need for a sisterhood either. I reveled in the schadenfreude of their growing pains when events would fail.

But somewhere along the way, I realized that they were actually both trying to do good, and even mostly succeeding at it. I’m pleasantly surprised by this realization, and taken aback that I had such a knee-jerk cynicism about it. I’m glad to be wrong, and perhaps I’ll treat the next idea which comes down the pike with less skepticism than I did them.

Now Baruch, he’s been a light in dark places: he has a type of moral clarity and willingness to stand firm on principle which are tremendously inspirational to me. He’s the kind of man who puts the yashar in yashar koah. I’m honored to be part of an organization which has him as a member.

There were a couple of lovely speeches (by folks who remember that brevity is the soul of wit), and wicked-good meatballs. Definitely good times.

Play that Funky Music, White Boy
My quest for live music last night was thwarted by coworkers. However, tonight, I managed to ditch them successfully without giving offense, and found myself at Robert's, where I heard The Don Kelley Band. Aaaah... now THAT is some good country-rockabilly. Their lead guitar player was nothing short of amazing: think about how fast bluegrass banjo players play, and he was abusing a telecaster just like that. I did like his taste in pedals: I noticed a Fulltone Clyde Wah, and a board about my size.

Notable covers include a Johnny Cash song whose title I forget, Muddy Waters' Got my mojo working, Ramblin' Man, and something by Conway Twitty. hehe. All I can ever think of when I hear that name is the rap done by the scab replacement for Oliver Wendell Jones in Bloom County: "I seen the moon / all white and pretty / just like the hind / of Conway Twitty." Curse you Burke Breathed!

===

I've now tried the local kosher restaurant twice, and it's quite pleasant, with a couple of caveats. It's called Grins, but they pronounce it "greens." Yeah... put the bong down, guys. Yes, it's strictly vegetarian, and so there's an aglutenation of hippies present. All that said, the food's pretty good - it's clever and different (humus wraps, pizza panini, etc), and the service is exceptionally friendly (see, it's that bong again...)

One surprising element was the demographics of the clientele. It's on the Vanderbildt campus, in the Hillel there, so I figured it would be a little like the other Hillel-based restaurants I've seen. I was wrong. Next to nobody in there is identifiably Jewish, and the male-female ratio has to be about 5%. I asked Sarah whether Vanderbildt was an all-girl school after leaving there. She laughed a bit.

Hypothesis: more college-age women than men are vegetarians?

===

I really can't wait to get home - all this traveling lately is sucking mightily. I miss Sarah.

Album state
Patrick and I independently realized that we were holding at 13 songs for the album, and both decided that that wasn't the right number, so we wrote two more songs. The one he wrote would be a full-band song, so I don't think it'll make it on (that's just a lot of work), but the one I did was a little multiple guitar piece called Tzipor Dror (the joke, for those who don't speak Hebrew, is that that means "Free Bird"). Of course, the song has nothing whatsoever to do with the more famous Lynyrd Skynyrd song of that name. I did want a non-English song name to go along with the "lingua" theme...

This Thursday, we'll hopefully decide the final album order, and get the vocal for Cyrano recorded. Patrick wanted to redo the drums on "new song" - we'll see how that works out.

Here's one possible order:
New Song in My Head
DCeasons
American Cyborg
The Benefit of Knowing Jane
The Big Bad Wolf
Static
Chick Magnet
Zombies
Absinthe
Storybook Romance
Shopping Blues
Cyrano
Psycho Neighbor
Tzipor Dror

Aside - Dullstar's song "Arrival" has a really neat Hudson River School meets The Pixies thing going on.

===

Something about traveling messes up my circadian rhythm - I just can't stay asleep for more than 2 hours at a time, and that's not doing me any favors.

I'm certain that there are surly people here somewhere, but I haven't encountered them yet - everyone is tremendously friendly.

Vigilante or Evil Tyrant?
The most obvious landmark in Nashville is what regularly gets called the Batman building, although I think that the AT&T logo there makes it a decent ringer for the Eye of Sauron.

Let me back up a minute: my customer in California ended the engagement (a little abrupt, but given that they have a lot of financial services business, not too terribly surprising), so now I've been given a new customer in Tennessee. GSRs and 7600s and 7200s Oh My!

Minor rant:
USAirways sucks. They can't seem to figure out that spacing out boarding intervals by about two minutes will dramatically improve compliance about getting into the proper line. Also, the CRJ-200 is a crap airplane. I'm exactly average height & weight for an American male. I shouldn't have to extend the headrest, and if I do have to extend it, it should make it to the back of my head, not the nape of my neck. Also, window to seat placement should be set so that I can look out the window without crouching.

Obama's race speech
First of all, I've gotta say that I've been surprised that Sen. Clinton came back from all of those losses, and is now so close to Sen. Obama in the Democratic primary. Of course, the head-on collision between those two will be music to the ears of many Republicans, but it should at least remain an interesting match.

Now, on to the real meat - I posted this in response to [info]theferrett's reaction to Sen. Obama's speech today, and thought I'd re-post it here.

===

I was impressed with the speech, even though I do not agree with chunks of it. I greatly respect Sen. Obama for not throwing Rev. Wright under the bus, even though it would have been expedient to do so. I also really liked his phrase about "binding our particular grievances .. to the larger aspirations of all Americans" - that is a beautiful phrase, and a noble sentiment. More please.

However, let's look a little bit more closely:
But it also means binding our particular grievances - for better health care, and better schools, and better jobs - to the larger aspirations of all Americans -- the white woman struggling to break the glass ceiling, the white man whose been laid off, the immigrant trying to feed his family.


But later on, he says
This time we want to talk about how the lines in the Emergency Room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care; who don't have the power on their own to overcome the special interests in Washington, but who can take them on if we do it together.


So wait - the special interests are to blame? In the words of Walt Kelly's Pogo, "we have met the enemy, and he is us." All of the special interests represent some particular community - there are no faceless lobbyists yearning to oppress the citizenry! Instead, what's there are legions of people who have a particular focus, who care deeply about something, and who think that their particular interest is what should recieve government assistance / money / favorable treatment.

So while the speech was excellent in a way that political speeches (very) rarely are - it inspired, and frankly dealt with an issue which has been pretty radioactive until now - I see a type of populism which could easily become demagoguery. I would love to be wrong about this, but have not yet seen that which would make me think that I am.

It's march, and I don't have a beer
So the next best thing is the madness of brackets! In my case, that's for the next civilization game in a couple of weeks. The problem is that the BCS turned out to be provided by Diebold, and it got hacked - so I need help with the seeding. So you tell me: who's going to win?

Click here to seed the bracket

Voting closes on April 1.

The bracket from last year's civilization game is here.

The overall history of winners of the past 6 games is this:

Rebecca EB has won 3 games, which is why we exiled the EBs to Philadelphia.
Andrew, Elanit, and I have won 1 each.

The exact variations are still to be decided upon, but I'm thinking of a couple of interesting ones - I'll post them once we have the bracket ready.

belated
[info]carbonnelle asks "tell us a funny story from when you were a child..."

Now, to be fair, most of the stories I know from my childhood are either painfully self-deprecating, or painfully self-magnifying, and those are a tad on the uncomfortable side. Many of the rest fall into the "oh God, why have you inflicted this boredom on me??" category.

So you asked for it -hopefully this passes the "funny" test:

I had a pair of friends from South High named Sonny and Jason. They were fast friends going back many years, and they took me in - I was new to Utah and had apparently gone back for an extra helping of "dork" in my mannerisms; but they didn't mind, and they weren't exactly the coolest kids either, so we hung out a lot.

They had an idea that they should start a company, called "Jasonny Co" (awesome portmanteau). With me along for the ride, the naming scheme had to change, so we decided that the villains in the GI Joe cartoon (no, not Cobra) would have to do: "Extensive Enterprises." But then we had a brainstorm that ripping off Jay G wholesale (though we didn't know him at the time) wouldn't be the best idea, so another element got lumped in: the Swedish Chef's explanation of a 3D movie: that "neener neener popcorn is 3d oh de popcorn's just poppin' in your face and it's just... 3d." So we became "3D Enterprises."

We had this idea that the name made the thing: that by picking a name which could easily belong on a large sign, people would be fooled that this wasn't a trio of not-quite-delinquent kids from high school in Utah.

This company showed up later as the bunch that Chris C. and I used to sell individual "Garbage Pail Kids" to the students at the elementary school across from his house - I used to wonder whether I should feel bad about the markups we had set on such a silly item, but then I realized that "value" was inherently in the eye of they buyer, and the kids were satisfied, so why should I be worried about it? We were just providing a service that no one else did at the time...
