Well, the Vols got their first ever number one ranking in mens hoops on Monday, and it looks like they’re going to hold onto it for a little under 30 hours. Am I upset, no friggin way. You see, I have endured Wade Houston, Kevin O’neal, Jerry Green, and Buzz “Dribble Drive” Peterson as a Tennessee mens basketball fan. Seeing the Volunteers put away Memphis on Saturday night…..<insert dramatic pause here>…….was the single greatest moment for me as a UT hoops fan (sorry Doug Roth, you flipping the bird to some LSU fans after sinking a three has now slipped to second). Tough loss tonight, but we will recover. Congrats to Vandy, Foster’s a player. Go Vols!

Hey, guess what, this doesn’t work. I have spent a couple nights trying to get my two Airport Express AP’s to participate in a WDS network. The Apple knowledge base article (#107454) says I can do it with two Airport Express AP’s (one as a main, and one as a relay or remote station), but it is my opinion that the dude or dudette who wrote this article may have a heroin addiction. If you know this person, I would consider some sort of intervention. From what I can gather, heroin can do a real number on your choppers (I may be thinking about meth here, but for now lets just go with heroin). I think this person may have authored the Airport Express FAQ as well. See the following question & response. ”

Question: Can AirPort Express be used for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)? Answer: Yes. AirPort Express can be a WDS main, remote, or relay station. It can function as a WDS main whether or not you are using it as a router to share your Internet connection (NAT).“

Again, this person is on some type of schedule 2 narcotic.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Internet <-> DSL <- (ethernet) -> FW <- (ethernet) -> Airport Express <- (wifi) -> Airport Express <- (ethernet) -> Mac Mini

I am basically using the 2nd Airport Express as a bridge to the 1st Airport Express. The Mac Mini I have didn’t come with a wifi card installed and therefore I am trying to use the ethernet port on the 2nd Airport Express to get to the Internet.  If anyone, outside of the two junkies who wrote the documents referenced above, can provide some insight, please send it to me ‘at’ jackascii.net.

I have some Jack Ascii buttons to give away. If you would like one, send an email to me ‘at’ jackascii.net. Just send me your name and address, and I’ll send you a button. It’s that simple. Don’t tell me why you want the button, or where you’re going to wear it, cause I don’t care. Also, don’t be sending me an email asking if there are any other colors available, cause there aren’t and I don’t really give a crap if white and brown aren’t your cup of tea. Finally, if you send me an email asking for two buttons, you might find yourself getting zero buttons. Next! This post was inspired by the second greatest Craigslist posting ever.

I am sitting in bed watching some college basketball. There is 16:07 left in the 2nd half of the Kentucky/Vandy game, and Vandy is holding onto a slim 41 point lead (55-14). Life is good.

If someone kicks you in the groin but misses the jewels, its best to just to fake it. Nothing good can come from telling them they missed.

Tiki Barber is still a jackass, but I think I’m just going to harp on him this week. First and foremost, congratulations to the New York Giants. No chance, no way, no how; that would have been my reply to anyone trying to convince me they had a shot six weeks ago. Anyway, I’m not going to rehash the game, talk about the catch, or even discuss the pro’s and con’s of sleeveless hoodies. Instead, I just a a few brief comments: 

Who knew Tom Petty was dead? I didn’t, but that corpse can still bang out “Running Down a Dream” just like when he was still breathing 

Tiki Barber is a jackass (had to get it in here again, sorry). Karma came and kicked him in the keester. 

Eli Manning is not cool. He’s dorky, goofy, dumb looking, throw’s ducks, is awkward in interviews, cannot wear a hat properly, and kind of reminds me of the fat kid in Stand By Me (not sure why, he ain’t fat). And, he’s a winner. Sports needs guys like Eli. I appreciate his team first attitude. He genuinely doesn’t seem to care about touchdowns or completions, just wins. And he’s a good guy. Please trade him to Oakland. We’ll give you Al Davis and a case of beer. 

Michael Strahan got a ring! I want to say something here about the prenup he signed with his ex wife, but I’m not gonna :) 

Jeremy Shockey, happy trails. Looks like you and your team chemistry killing cancer of a personality are expendable. 

All the sports guys were talking about how surprised they were that Plaxico Burress not only played with the dinged up knee, but was a major factor (scoring the go ahead touchdown). For me ,however, I was more curious as to whether Tom Coughlin’s cheeks would have had time to recover from the beating they took in the Packers game. 

I am 2/3 of the way to my sports reverse grand slam (With the Yankee’s and the Patriots already coming up short, I am just a Laker’s collapse from the perfect year). I’ve given up on my true grand slam of the Braves, Atlanta Hawks, and Raiders winning it all. 

Superbowl ring for Ben Rothlesberger - Check, Superbowl ring for Eli Manning - Check, Superbowl ring for Phillip Rivers - …. The next two years are looking pretty good. The class of 2004 was pretty good.

It’s probably not a good idea to eat sushi at an Airport.

Question: Can the CheckPoint Firewall Web Visualizer Tool (R65) be used if firewall enforcement module and management server are both on the Nokia appliance? (standalone environment)

Answer: No. At least that’s what Nokia Technical Support is selling.
