swestrupOorgh. I'm just barely awake now. Its one of those OH GOD I NEED SOME CAFFEINE days. Luckily, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taxlady left me a full thermos of coffee when she headed out on her errands this afternoon, and I have a 1-pint coffee cup for just such occasions.
Its because I stayed up until 7:00 am trying to upgrade the house internet server to a new version. I've finally gotten sick and tired of the old version crashing every few hours. The trouble is that the newest release of one of the ether card drivers no longer recognizes one of my ether cards. I spent several hours trying different things before I got too sleepy to make forward progress. I would use the old release of the driver (which I'll try next) but I don't think its compatible with the new kernel I'm using...
Anyway, I just came across the following quote, and for some reason I thought it profound, so I'm including it below. I think misdirected anger has caused untold harm in our society:

Anyone can become angry -- that is easy;
but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree,
at the right time, for the right purpose
and in the right way -- that is not easy.
