Jury duty is about the most boring thing you can possibly do. If you aren't called for a trial, all you do is sit on your ass and do nothering while waiting to be called. Did i bring a book? Did I have my iPod with me? Damn, its worse than sitting in the doctor's office. At least you have the himiliation of bing seen by a doctor to look forward to.
The do have internet terminals, which is nice, because I can bitch here, but frankly it isn't enough. I suppose I'll have to console myself with the $40.00 they are paying me to waste my time.
What can I buy with $40.00? Another book that I am not reading while I am here. A few albums that I can't listen to whithought my iPod. Yep, screwed.

Some time this week Verizon Fios stopped blocking port 80. I recently upgraded, and I don't know if it's a fluke or whether it is a by-product or whether they just figured "why bother?" but Wild and Bad is now free of port 8181.
Of course I'll continue to listen on 8181 for while longer, and that's just fine. But it isn't required any longer. At least for the moment. Hopefully longer.
I joined twitter. I must be crazy, but I did it. Now you can follow me on Twitter @MrDave2176. If you are into that sort of thing. I'll be following a few people at forst, and hopefully a I'll "get it" at some point. For now, I just sort of want to see if it is fun...or interesting..or both. I need to go back to work or something.
