Late Night Page

Off

I’m sitting outside the dentist shop beside my office. It’s late at night and I got paged by a dying server. I had to give up a chance to smoke cherry flavoured tobacco out of a shisha (yuck) to come here and work.
The server died (my best bet is some kind of kernel panic) and I couldn’t ssh into it to reboot it. Also, the crap control console the customer has me dial in to doesn’t have the capability to hard reboot the box. Also, the console is toast, and I can’t get into any of their managed boxes. So I called the tech contact and he’s going to reboot the machine tomorrow and pull it out of the DNS loop.
Now I’m just waiting for R to come back and pick me up so I can go home and sleep. I was supposed to be taking tomorrow off to go to the canoe place in London.

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.
