Some fuckstick hit me with a car while I was out biking Friday night. Although I’m fine, nothing was broken because I actually wear quality gear, I’m still store as hell and not feeling the blogging. Check back tomorrow.

Last night’s CryptoPartyMN meeting, as is usually the case, ran late. I didn’t get a chance to write anything for you dear readers but I can tell you that the next CryptoParty is likely to be on either the second or third weekend in August. It will depend on venue availability though.

My evening was spent finalizing the setup on my new mail server and cursing Xcel energy for failing to actually provide power to my residence. There’s nothing to see here but if you send an e-mail to me you can experience my fancy new server.

Last night’s panel discussion (which was awesome by the way) went pretty late and the after party went later. I’m too tired to write anything of substance.

As a brief summary I just want to say it was a privilege and an honor to be part of a panel with both William Binney and Todd Pierce. Everybody involved in organizing the event did a stellar job as well. I’ll write up a more detailed aftermath later but if you want a good overview of the event now the fine folks at MNAnarchy put up a podcast immediately after the panel concluded.

I was at a net neutrality debate last night. Alcohol and anarchist friends were involved. Needless to say I didn’t get done until late so there’s nothing for you to see here. Move along. Or don’t. It’s up to you.

I’ve got a wedding to officiate. You guys entertain yourselves.

Because there’s nothing here. I’m officiating a wedding this weekend (yeah, I have one of those sweet Internet ordinations) and as part of the ceremony the couple to be wed asked me to give a short speech about marriage. Instead of blogging I’m writing that speech. And because I’m a history nerd this speech requires me to do a bit of research into the history of marriage, which is taking more time than I originally estimated. The bottom line is that you get nothing more today and the rest of the week will be iffy to. If you feel gypped I will be more than happy to send you a refund.

This was a pretty hectic weekend. I attended a 3-gun competition at Pine Island on Monday and spent most of the rest of the weekend doing major server upgrades (thanks Shell Shock). Unfortunately that means I didn’t get time to write anything. It also means that this site, which runs on one of my servers, may run like shit for a day or two while I shift virtual machines from physical machine to physical machine as I do upgrades. That also means the site may go down and come back up from time to time. I’m hoping to have all of the upgrades done by Wednesday but it will depend on my available time.
