so last week i went to my first rock concert. it was to be aerosmith & lenny kravitz, but lenny was sick. i wonder how sick one has to be to alienate all of san antonio by failing to appear. i was slightly annoyed at grown adults acting so crazy, but the music was decent. at one point a guitarist took of his shirt and began slinging it down on his guitar repeatedly, making 'music'. it was at this point that i thought to myself, yes, now i have heard music at its finest.
the other night i was doing a bit of cleaning, putting things away in my closet. my eye caught on a piece of fuzz near my shoes. what a strange shape for fuzz i thought. then i thought, wow, i hope thats not a big ol spider. i bent down for a closer look, but only briefly, because in about 1/2 of a second i realized that fuzz was frog shaped. and thus, the mystery was solved...thaddeaus was found....about as far away from his little home as he could have gotten while remaining inside my apartment. he never did smell, which i found to be strange, but he was most certainly dead and crusty. i was most grossed out. i expressed this by repeatedly saying ewwwwwww and shuddering. but i am glad to know there is no longer a killer frog on the loose in my apartment. so, lolly, you are free to come visit now!!
my nana paid me a visit this weekend and we had a grand time enjoying board games, shopping, laundry, eating out, and the botanical gardens in san antonio.
this morning i received a call from work because i was....oncall. i went off oncall at 7am. the call came about 6.30am, unfortunately for me. it was from someone on the east coast, having difficulties. my vpn was not working so i grudgingly realized i was going to have to go into work asap. i wondered if the lady's coworkers were having the same problem she was? she condescendingly explained to me that it was really early and of course no one else was at work yet. ah, really? if its that early on the east coast, why then are you bugging me in the central time zone? the solution to this problem is: go home. lay down on the bed for awhile. then come back to work at a decent hour. if the problem is still occurring, call whoever is oncall now. thanks and have a great day.

my mom says ewwwwwwwww about the frog.
*kcmxzrhh*
she's back.
I think I would have claimed I was driving under a bridge and hung up. You gotta get that VPN fixed! (Ahh, memories of 306 coming back...)
yipee! no more frogs? i am there!
With a layer-2 VPN, Ethernet frames are used across the tunnel. The entire frame, including the layer-2 frame, is encapsulated for sending. A layer-3 VPN uses IP as a means for travel and does not send the layer-2 frame, but instead reconstructs one on the destination side. Layer-3 utilizes IPSec, a set of security protocols designed for IP and can operate in transport or tunnel modes. Transport mode is used only between hosts while tunnel mode is typically used with IP VPNs and adds the ability to work with VPN gateways. “IPSec in tunnel mode also protects against traffic analysis; an attacker can only determine the tunnel endpoints and not the true source and destination of the tunneled packets” (Daniel 66). IPSec is quickly gaining acceptance as a means for security. Jim Seymour sums up what a VPN is in his article in PC Magazine: “A VPN is a way of wrapping the data packets you pass back and forth between your PC and your employer’s servers in a web of data encryption – encryption so strong that shipping those precious packets out over the Wild and Wolly Web is perfectly safe” (Seymour 83)
what a nice paper will!!! i'm thinkin that sounds like about a mmmm 96ish paper.
