Safe to report: I am not the King of Cambodia.

Have finished watching Hero Beyond the Boundary of Time. I don't know where the Netflix people got the idea that Tony's character was a eunuch. Eunuchs who had wives before they were castrated didn't generally have seven of 'em, nor did they retain the ability to tell cops with a straight face that they could withstand the cops beating them, kicking them, castrating them, etc. Tony's character was an old friend of the Emperor's. That's the only indication anywhere in the movie that he might be anything other than an ordinary man.

I thought it was funny, and it was better than my extremely low expectations. Granted, it was rather like an American teenage sex comedy in parts, but it at least tried to keep to regular comedy for most of its length. And it never once tried to convince me Tony had been neutered. (Hence the post title - I told someone 'if Wei is a eunuch, then I'm the King of Cambodia'.) I wouldn't bother renting it again and I wouldn't really recommend renting it unless you're a serious Tony Wai fangirl, but it was fun, and it did better than my extremely low expectations.

grrrgh...

Today the Win2000 servers had to be rebooted. That was fine. I did that.
While they rebooted, I rebooted the Netware 4.11 server. I had some weird messages about the backup software and I needed to detach the Netware server from a hub anyway; the hub belongs to our techsupp outside firm and needs to go back on Monday.
Netware server reboots. No one can properly get into it. An hour and a half later I realize that this is probably because I have plugged the wrong network card into the wall - there are two in the server.
Fixing this does not help. Perhaps the fact that I used the crossover cable instead of a regular one?
No, that does not help either. Much cursing and swearing later all I am left with is a pair of merrily bright lights on the actual network card, and a message that appears at reboot about an NDS failure. I call outside techsupp and leave a message at their office and on their netware person's cell phone. I try to find answers on Novell's support site but it does not help much.
I go to lunch. I pay my car insurance ($276.79 for 1/4 of the year - this includes my defensive driving discount, a whopping $20 for the whole year). I get my lunch. It is a steak sandwich with hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. I turn out to have left my ATM card in my other bag (I used it at Starbucks in the morning) but it is all right because a co-worker is behind me on line and covers my bill (about $8 - sammitch, Blair's Death Rain BBQ Potato Chips, mint Snapple).
I get back. No word from techsupp. Some of the sammitch sauce gets on my shirt but it mostly washes out.
As I am trying to get the server to be visible to my users again - thankfully only four or five people are currently affected at all by this - the chapter CEO asks me to see to a co-worker's printer 'unless you're doing something big'. As I have had no success since 9:30 AM in making the server visible I see no reason to fuss over it further and go to the co-worker.
The paper jam that is blocking a massively important print job is too far under the thermal unit of death (laser printer) for the co-worker to get out w/tweezers. I use a paperclip and it comes out. Yay MacGyver. Unfortunately the back of the printer sports a loose panel that requires ten minutes of wrestling to fit back into place. Stupid Lexmark. Stupid orcs.
Still not on server.
On the bright side I got Seventh Curse in the mail today, along with a biiiiig anthropological text called Together With The Ainu. This is Cool. This will help a lot with VicMage.Asia. This improves today, my 29th birthday, considerably.

Now if I can just get the !&*() server to work again all will be well.

Ha.

Og here. Og hit J. on head with club, then go to server.

J. plug in right cable this time. J. not plug cable into right NETWORK CARD, but J. plug in right cable.

Og try other network card. Og go into next room, get other user try log in. Other user try. Other user type password wrong. Other user ask Og type other user password. Og type. Og hit enter.

Og make server work.

Go Og.

Holy Jesus.
