Things are getting worse at the San Mateo DA.  It seems like they don't appreciate anything I do.  I'm getting more and more unhappy there.  Last night I woke up in the middle of the night coughing up bile.  Bad sign.  I sent an email to the clinic professor, maybe I can get transfered out.

This proves it.

This is my first new post with password protection. Thanks to all of you who are interested enough to ask for a password.

Work was good today. Got a handful of cases so I won't be terribly bored this week. I have one case where the defendant's name is Nepoleon Baltazar. Awesome name. (Is it a breach of confidentiality for me to reveal his name? No. The fact that Mr. Baltazar is a defendant in a criminal case is public record. The hearing on April 11th will be open to the public. Come to the county courthouse in South San Francisco and you can watch the hearing.)

And I'm sticking with it. I made the technical/psychological leap today that makes me feel comfortable sticking with Ubuntu. My printer worked fine "out of the box," without having to install any extra drivers or anything, and Gnome (part of Linux) even had a built-in print manager. Awesome. But, turns out that sharing the printer over the network is something for which there is no easy answer. After three days of wading through /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I finally got it working. BUT THEN I was only able to print from OTHER COMPUTERS, not from my own!

Well, not really. But I realized today that I really shouldn't talk about work. I am an employee of the San Mateo District Attorney (albeit an unpaid one) and therefore I am a public representative of the office. I wouldn't want to inadvertantly say something and have anyone think that I was actually representing office policy.

Let me be clear: this is a personal blog. When I write here, I am not representing the office.
