achievement!
It probably doesn't help to preface this post with a tale of running crying to our webhost's helpdesk — but still, last night's happy hour represented a new frontier in personal geekiness.
"So," says Jeff, "I'd kind of like to see the first season of The Wire."
Well, my good friend, allow me to ignore you and start playing with my cell phone. I'll browse to the pirate bay, find and copy a torrent link to the clipboard, SSH to the server at home, wget the .torrent to the directory that Azureus checks every 15 seconds and BANG! It's sort of like I've accomplished something. The illusion is nearly almost convincing.
This is some kind of threshold. I know things probably can get nerdier, but I'm not yet sure exactly how. Hopefully I'll figure it out before I apply for this.
ALSO: It turns out that Movable Type 3.2 chokes on entries that include the word "wget". Which is pretty stupid, if you ask me.

The first season of The Wire is freakin' awesome. Watching it is more Baltimorish than actually going there. And that's a good thing.
That's odd since the string "wget" doesn't occur in the MT3.2 source.
Just as an experiment I'm including a zero in this comment, right here: 0.
Yeah, perhaps it's some problem with our installation. But I had to remove parts of the entry piece by piece until I had isolated the error to "wget", then ended up getting it to display by entering w<span></span>get.
Strangely, it seems to work fine in comments.
don't forget seasons 2 and 3! those are also incredible.
