I didn’t even know the restaurant at “the I” was open yet. From the DPS crime reports,

An unknown person stole $1,925 from a safe at the Houlihan’s restaurant, 1902 S. First St., C. sometime between 2:40 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. Aug. 13.

I’m not behind on this: I’ve known about and have been enjoying Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog the past few weeks. I may have put a few things up on twitter about it, but I didn’t think it needed a whole blog post.

That is, until I learned some of my 1.1 readers had not yet seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. If you have 45 minutes, if you like Neil Patrick Harris and the funny, if an equestrian underlord is making you do it, and if that doesn’t make sense to you: go watch Dr. Horrible. Now.

Dr. Horrible. Tell your friends.

I can’t count the number of freeze ray or Captain Hammer jokes were made this weekend. Ideas were starting to form about team costuming the Dr. H group for Halloween. I’m on the look out for lab coats and welding goggles. Last night, I did more Horrible research (I have an MS in searchingness) Since these were new to me, I figured I’d share them here for y’all.

Dr. Horrible’s twitter page

That lead me searching for ringtones (TK mentioned those existed,) and I found not only ringtones, but music and sheet music.

James Tauber: Dr Horrible Ringtones – renaming the m4r extension to mp3 worked for me in WMP.

James Tauber: More Dr. Horrible had not only MP3/midi type things, but transpositions that had the vocal tracks removed — great for karaoke.

(If you believe that I didn’t close the windows, crank up the laptop, find a lyric page, and belt out all the songs at the top of my lungs, you don’t know me very well.) We’re so doing a sing along Halloween skit.

Finally, I found Moses Lei’s Dr. H. page, complete with sheet music, and great MP3s. He doesn’t have as much arranged as James right now, but I like his stuff alot. Have yourself a listen. (And call me; I enjoy his 90s ringtone.)

Somehow, after even more yak shaving, I wound up (as I’m wont to do,) at YouTube. There’s lots of DRH fan covers. Not all are good (but the last one, wow.) Who knows, maybe we’ll have a video up there soon.

I never seem to remember which way this goes, and usually when I need to look it up (like my network is in a weird state,) I can’t check to see how it “should” be. So this post is a reminder — at least on the Foundry equipment we’re currently running.

Spanning tree priorities — lowest number wins. (Unless set priorities are equal, in which case, I think the lower switch MAC wins.) In our environment, a 1000 weighted STP is the root over a 2000 weighted instance.

With VRRP-E, it’s the opposite. Higher priority wins. The default priority with our FI1500s is 100. Any backup priorities lower than that are secondary.

So, the “active” router should have a lower STP priority and a higher VRRP-E priority.

The “backup” router should have a higher STP priority and a lower VRRP-E priority.

Clear as mud.

TiVo’s latest software update for the Series3 supports YouTube videos, so now you “see the small videos on the big screen.” It’s new and interesting. Might be fun at parties. I don’t know how much I’ll actually use it.

But, I had to watch Numa Numaa first. You know. To break it in. Then, I browsed some Numa knock-offs until I settled into the most watched videos on YouTube from all time. That found me this gem, viewed over 56 million times:

Go ahead. Don’t smile when you’re watching it. I dare you. (It’s impossible.) Baby laughing at the Wii is pretty good too. Enjoy!
