Weekend? What weekend?

Off

Spent the better part of my entire weekend at work. My company’s moved their entire operation to another location. It began Thursday evening, and I was pretty much involved from day one in the planning stage. We took turns in the server room, since everyone had a different specialty; one would work on the routers and smart hubs, one would work on the firewall, one would run the cables, and one would setup the workstations and coordinate with the contractors. I did a little of everything, including pulling spent power supplies out of dead servers and digging replacements out of the moving crates. I was thinking of getting a few pictures up of the new server room. It’s still a little messy, and a bit of a cabling nightmare — we bought 25′ cables, thinking that we’d need the extra length to run across the room and up the rack, but we had a good 5-10 extra feet per cable, resulting in several large bundles. We used a lot of velcro to keep the beast in check.
I’m probably going to head into work a little earlier today just to put out a few fires. Overall, I clocked about 23 hours. That includes an emergency page from my Dreaded Customer’s servers on Saturday morning.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
