I went to my appointed one-day-job yesterday. I was officially on the clock at noon. There were three techs including me and one lead. There were very few PCs to do though.

We basically just disconnected some old peripherals from the PCs and connect new peripherals back to the same PCs although sometimes in a slightly different serial port. Then the corporate office pushed some images onto the PCs whilst and we finished re-connecting devices. Then the business employees validated these new set ups which only took a little while.

The whole thing, at least on our end, was done by 6pm. Which was fine by me, I would have gone home happy. Easiest day of work I've had in years. Too bad for the back end they didn't have the special printer validated or authenticated or whatever on the back so we had to sit and wait. I don't have much reason to complain though. I mean I was getting paid for doing NOTHING. Fine by me. Still I was tired and would have preferred sleep.

In case you're wondering it's no accident I haven't mentioned the name of the business I was in. It's kind of tacky to go on and on about how you got paid for doing nothing. I mean technically I don't actually have the check in hand yet now do I? Also there may be any number of NDAs I may or may not be under. Probably not but I still won't say the name of the company or the city involved or any detail like that.

Anyway I didn't get to leave until 9:00. So at least three hours of doing nothing. Fine whatever. I was so tired to begin with being trapped there instead of home sleeping was just awful. I felt awful too.

When I got home I was going to go to bed but my room mates invited me to the casino. And for some reason I went. Even though this is usually a bad idea as I always lose at least $100. But as it turns out I did quite well. Any time you can leave with as much or more than you walked in with is a good day at the casino in my book. I mean really.

Today I didn't much do of ...anything...wait. I don't feel like editing that. Piece it together.

So anyway on to other subjects. I have I think signed up for about every web site I'm going to sign up for. Though I have yet to actually produce any actual content for any of them. I'm thinking about converting my other domain to my central "hub" page that just links out to my pages and these various other sites.Something respectable and not in any way associated with this site. Something I wouldn't necessarily give directly to a someone in a job-related situation but wouldn't necessarily frown on if they found it some how.

It would just link to all my eHows, and FixYas and Constant Contents and perhaps a little blurb on what it's about and why it's worth taking a look at.

Actually I just visited that other domain just now and found out there was a pop-up ad. I hate popups. Apparently I had signed up for some nedstat thing and put their JS at the bottom. Well not only have I not used it I have status collection through my web host which I get without having to insert JS or deal with pop-up ads. So I deleted that JS and it's better now. The name is possibly an issue though. I think I can deal though. Even if it doesn't make any sense it's not like I'm going to buy a different domain for my hub page. Pfff. As if. Not even if I HAD a job. No way.

Also I'd like to find a more powerful platform than blogger. I think I may be out growing it. Perhaps WordPress or something based on RubyOnRails. I can dream right?

Ok I just re-scoped out WordPress and it seems some how a lot easier than I remember it being the last time I looked at it. In fact assuming I could install PHP/MySQL on the O!Play I could actually set it up on that thing. But also on my laptop.

Ya see I was going so many places to study the php/sql book that didn't have internet access I actually installed the Portable XAMPP on my laptop so I didn't have to depend on an internet connection. Course now it appears Borders is puting in free wifi so it's becoming less of an issue. In any case I would have to put on the laptop under XAMPP then some how syncronize it back to the web server on the O!Play. Then I assume eventually there would be some kind of synchronize between the O!Play's server and my actual host. Actually I imagine there's some kind of script for that already exists. A fancy name and/or recursive acronym and package. Don't know what I'd search to find it. Perhaps I'll make my own then, perhaps I'll make my own.

I think there was something else but I don't know what it was and I feel like going to bed now.
