tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52841042011-12-13T19:54:42.159-08:00This blog is a combination "personal musings" (mostly satirical and dripping with sarcasm) ranging from what's going on in my life to my views on politics and various current events. For 2010 my goal is to make an entry every day for the entire year or at least as close as I can come to that goal as may be practical.Col.

In the unlikely hood I have any readers I will mention I have switched URLs to my own domain name now featuring WordPress...All new entries will be going there from now on.

"Pen Board" Apparently I'm verging on running out of titles. I'm writing earlier this time because I'm think about finally making the transition over to WordPress for this blog. I don't know that this will be successful or if it'll really happen but I'm going to attempt it. So if all goes to plan I'll be writing the next entry under WordPress. I did actually go to the flea market today. Although

"Twitchy" I think I'm just going to go straight into my thoughts this time 'round. Except for this little blurb here at the top explaining how I'm going straight into my thoughts. Ya. Besides that I'm going straight into my thoughts. So, without further delay, my thoughts. I was thinking about my post from last night. Amazing how I'm not 100% remembering everything that I wrote yesterday, since

"The Blizzards are from the warming..." I thought that was an interesting headline. Record cold as a result of warming. Really. Really?  If only I had called this whole every possible weather pattern can be pointed back to "warming" several years ago. Oh wait, I did do that. Yes, in a previous post on this very blog from YEARS ago I expressed my frustration that every imaginable weather pattern

"Back to this" Wasn't sure what to title this one.The only thing that really differentiated today from any other day was the successful trip to the five-mile-trail for the walk/jog. I decided pretty much that I'm going to do the five mile thing every day it's projected to be sunny. Which according to iGoogle the last time I checked is at least through Saturday...well i just checked and now

"Veggie Tale" Like the title? Ya, I thought it was clever. Isn't it clever? Well I thought it was apt in any case. Because I did beyond nothing today. I mean if I do so little I may as well be playing a computer game at least. You know have fun whilst wasting time and doing nothing? Ya that. Well I did go to the local hardware store to see if they had a couple of different torx drivers so I could

"Moving" I'm pretty sure I am in fact going to be moving. I've been at this same location since 2004, roughly 5 1/2 years as I write this, and I've been getting sicker and sicker of it for at least two of those years. A combination of things have finally prompted me to take this whole moving thing a bit more seriously. For one thing when I first moved it was just me and my landlord/roommate. It

"Super" Like everybody else today I watched the Super Bowl. I don't actually watch football at all. Well technically I don't watch TV a whole lot in general but especially any kind of sports. Just never really appealed to me for some reason. Anyway I didn't have any particular emotional attachment to either team and had no idea going in which was the favorite to win. It looked like to Colts were

"Wordpress" Today I spent a lot more time working on the site with Wordpress. I changed some themes, shopped some plugins, messed with the widgets, so on and so forth.There are still quite a few features and details I don't quite get. For instance what if I want to make multiple entries to a page other than the main page? Isn't there some way or doing that? Or do I have to just keep modifying the

"Superior" As you may or may not have noticed I have switched URLs for this blog. I did this, as I mentioned in an earlier post, in preparation for Google eventually turning off FTP support on blogger. I actually have other blogs on another domain name. Well the one main blogs then some other sites in the form of blogger blogs as sub-domains. Anyway I re-purposed the root of that other domain for

"What, Again?" I guess today is pretty much the same as yesterday. I went and ended up spending the day at my sister's again but didn't do any walking this time. It looked like it was about the rain all day but didn't really so I didn't go for any walks. And I've been at my sister's house all day anyway so there wasn't a lot of opportunity to go for a walk anyway. Maybe tomorrow. I did get as far

"Walk" As I write this I am actually at my sister's house, sitting on her couch. Today I watched more TV thanks to Hulu, in particular the first and second episodes of LOST. I didn't think it was a terrible two-hour premier but it still seemed like it was missing something some how. Not sure what exactly. Maybe just some level of energy or pacing or...something? The second episode ended and I

"FTP" I got an email today from the google/blogger people about the eventual end of FTP support. some where in the back of my mind I kind of wondered about this since it said it had to re-upload like six megabytes of data every time I made one minor change to the blogger template. It seems kind of expensive to do that for everybody every time. The email, which blogger saw fit to send me six times

"Or not, then" Okay so I don't really want to talk about this any more with anyone. Can't exactly have a complete blog without mentioning it slightly: that job I was supposed to start today, well it didn't go so good lets just say. Actually it went fine, I showed up on time, got my picture taken met who I was supposed to meet, everything seemed fine. Until the lady that I would be working for and

"Interview Prep" For this entry I'm going to spend most to all of it preparing for tomorrow's interview. And perhaps indirectly prepping for the first day of the job. You know, that other minor thing happening tomorrow. The lady related to this interview I have apparently forgot to send me some minor details about tomorrow's interview so I had sent her email mentioning that if there was anything

"Black Berry" Yes, it's time to upgrade the black berry. I've been using it with the same OS and mini-Opera browser for years and it was starting to get a little stale. Pretty much every day that I used it for calls or with the browser I would pull the battery out and put it back in to force a reboot. Please it's a good idea to back up things like the address book and if it will back up my mail

"Balance" It seems like, some how, a lot more of these entries should start out with something other than Today, I. I mean I'm not sure how else I would start a post but it still seems like on some level there should be some other way or perhaps just a lot of vareity of startting posts. Guess I'll have to work on that. Well I managed to continue my balancing act I've been keeping up since

"Choices" Today I have some choices to make. I found out the start day and time of the new job I have agreed to take is Monday at 9am. I also found out I have passed the technical interview of the salaried position and they want to send me to the first in-person "team" interview at 11:30am either Monday or Tuesday. I am having difficulty figuring out how exactly I will be able to accomplish

"Waiting" Today I was still waiting on any news from the staffing service. You know minor details like where I would be showing up, what I would be bringing with me and some form of dress code perhaps. Also, I expected I would have to get a urine test for the standard drug testing. So in all likelihood, everything else being equal so to speak, I think my first day will likely be on Monday. Since

"Offer" Today I got an offer. Actually it's through a staffing service and I haven't actually talked to them never mind interviewed for the position or with this company. Which seems weird. According to the staffing service lady the company had lots of resumes and some how narrowed it down to me as the only candidate left and then decided they were making me an offer having never spoken to me.

"Perot" Today I got the new wheels put on to my car. I also paid them to re-align my wheels as needed which ended up costing me another $60US. On top of the $770 I already paid. Talk about insult to injury. At least my wheels and tires better damn well be fantastic for whatever remainder of life the car has in it! Which I imagine isn't a whole lot. I also got not one but two calls for two more

"Niece" I have no idea what I should really make this entry about since I did relatively little since my last entry. Pretty much all day today I played with my Niece who is a very mature 2 1/2 years old. I say mature because she seems so smart for 2 1/2 and when I show pictures to people and ask them to guess her age the response is usually "between 4 and 6". Anyway to say she is quite a

"Moon" Tonight I watched a little movie called "Moon". Obviously low-budget, if I had to guess, it really wasn't all that bad. It really only had the one actor. Well one actor, possibly his double and this HAL 9000-like computer A.I. system that may as well have been another character. The computer's voice was Kevin Spacey actually. I recognized the main character from a movie from roughly ten

"LAN" I'm ending up writing this entry much earlier in the day than normal to get the post "out of the way". Of course that not usually a good sign one is really enjoying something if said thing has be done to get it out of the way so to speak. I mean it's not that I hate doing entries it just sometimes seems like a chore when I could be doing other things like reading my PHP book. Actually I

"Depressed" Well maybe that's over-exaggerating a little. I don't know that I'm really that depressed. My ego isn't exactly in a state I would describe as healthy but I don't think I'm that depressed. I found out that I did not get the job I interviewed for yesterday. I was actually feeling a little confident, I had some feeling of a glimmer of hope on some level. A hope that maybe this long,

There were actually three stops along the way in this interview, and two other cnad Okay I am going to interrupt my own blog to say I have some how broken my wireless keyboard.

"Excited" Today I am excited about tomorrow. I am excited because I officially have the interview scheduled for tomorrow at 10am, scheduled to last rough two hours as part of a "hands-on" interview. Apparently I'll be demonstrating my skills instead of simply talking about them. Something to look forward to! I still don't feel like I have nearly enough information to effectively prepare for it

"Breathing Room" I'm glad I'm making some amount of progress on this room each day. Maybe if I keep this up I will eventually have a half-decently organized room... That's about all for today really: I put five of the large number of storage bins along side the book shelf/entertainment center and a sixth is acting as a bed-side table sorta deal for remotes and my PHP book. Which I did read

"Wide Screen" Well this is my first blog post using my super-great wide screen TV/monitor of twenty-something inches (I went to say 26 or 27, I don't remember). I'm actually sitting a fair distance back from the screen which is just as well since the resolution I'm running at only support 60Hz. And why is that bad you ask? Because too close up that frequency really makes my eyes sore and

"Boxes" You know that last post where I said i had this idea and I'd better write out so I can do other stuff? Well guess what. Yep, I did it. I went to the Ikea and purchased what are creatively called a "sofa bed". Some people I hear like to call them futons but I guess the swedes do everything their own way, eh? For various reasons as soon as we can back from the ikea with this new bed we

"Futon" So every so often something like this happens: I think of something that I think is incredibly neat or a good idea but I can't do anything at that one moment then no matter what I do I just can't stop thinking about that idea. Maybe it's an OCD thing or something, I don't know. Sometimes writing about it or other-wise thinking it through helps make the obsessiveness wane a little so that

"Together" Today I did actually finish putting together my new uber-PC in its case with all the fans powered up and blah-blah-blah. And I have to say it is rather fast. One bit of news though: last night after I had submitted my post I decided to see if I could fix that little issue with the system only recognizing four out of six gigs of memory by putting the third memory stick in the only

"Pile of Parts" Today I received my giant pile of PC parts and I set about putting the thing together. It was a lot more of a pain then I thought it would be, at least at first. I have learned enough now it's better to put the memory sticks and processor into the motherboard before putting the motherboard into the case. Which work pretty well actually. The ATI 5870 card I purchased was large. I

"Interview" Today I did very little to speak of except for that phone interview I had mentioned previously. There were two of them asking the questions actually. The one guy just asked me a few things from my resume which I expanded on well I think and then he asked some fairly basic (well I would call them basic anyway) questions about PC hardware. Like out of AGP/PCI/PCIe which came first

"I made it by hand...solo" This quote, for those of you not quite geeky enough, is from a little special that aired only once called the Star Wars Holiday Special. It was two hours long, aired on a friday night in December of...197-something, I don't know and George Lucas doesn't officially acknowledge it exists.

"Shelf" Today I finally came about as close to getting those shelves I've been going on about for the past week as I have ever come in that I wen into The Home Depot and look at shelves. Eventually I got a pretty good idea of what I was going to need so all I need is some form of truck or SUV to get it home then some form of skilled hand saw operator to cut it. That's about it. So the shelf saga

"Re-install" Yesterday I had received a call from a friend of the family stating he had seen some kind of error message and he couldn't get rid of it and now the computer was in some kind of infinite reboot loop. So I went up today to work on it. Sure enough it was just rebooting over and over. No form of safe mode or CLI-only mode would work. Fortunately I still had the customized XP install

"Credit" Today I  didn't really accomplish what I would have liked to have accomplished. I did go to fry's to look and see if I could find a replacement back plane. I looked but they only had one back plane, the same brand that I have now and only big enough to support three rather than four hard drives. Well obviously I want a back plane that will fit four drives and I think I want to try a

"Running" Today I haven't actually done a lot. I got everything together to go walk/jogging and a change of clothes then went up to the trail I usually use. I then went to my my mom's house to shower and change clothes. I had planned to go to Fry's but by the time I was done with the run it was 3:00 and that's really too late to do much of anything on account of rush hour, so I'm doing that

"Three Hours" I had hi hopes for today, which admittedly is not yet over. I was around 9am or so (after a really wierd dream no less) and had to whole day almost laid out. I checked some various sites I check in the morning and had breakfast then I found a question I thought I could answer on that question/answer site I sort of work for. The question was about enabling the Wake-on-LAN feature

"Not Much"I think I actually accomplished quite a bit today. I made up a list as a goal of the things I wanted to accomplish and I accomplished nearly all of them. Had I known how easy it is to replace the bulb in the headlights of my car I most likely would have accomplished all the goals.From getting a hair cut to taking clothes to a dry cleaners, I did actually get a lot done today. I'm most

"Back Home"I have finished moving out of my Dad's place and am back into my boring life at my boring old condo in my stupid old room. But I guess it's fine, I was growing tired of that place anyway. I'm not sure how much of a fan I am of living alone now that I've done it a while.Yesterday I almost didn't make it on the blog entray a day ting. Actually I was all set for bed at 11:30 when I

Well, I didn't quite finish yesterday's post. Don't remember why exactly. I was probably really tired. That's seems to be quite common for me lately. For whatever reason I just don't sleep well and it seems like I just lose a little more sleep each progressive night.That does remind me of one thing though: I was really going nuts with the jog/walking for a while there. I found this little trail

"Arrays"Re-reading my last post I know I missed some interesting things but I'm having trouble remembering what they were exactly.I know I mentioned that HTA and that I would be writing a roughly equivalent application in HTA form. That was the plan as I read through the PHP/MySQL book.I'm already starting to lose a little interest in that book. And I've only just finished chapter 3. I started on

"Big Wing Boy"Well I originally stopped writing in the blog in order to write the novel in a month. But I kept saying I to myself I should really be reading and spending all my time studying the giant pile of MCSE books I spent a large sum of money on. So I spent some time on the book, and a very small amount of time on the MCSE books but really ended up doing neither. I think I should have done

"Break"I've decided to take a break from writing by writing. Which seems strange on some level but since the writing is so different I think it will work.No I didn't get the job I mentioned from the last post. The one I figured since I didn't hear I must not have got it. I didn't think I did and the more time went by the more obvious the flaws in my interview became apparent. Although I imagine

"3 for 3"Today I didn't get the call I was expecting. Said call was about the results of a job interview I had two weeks ago. The guy said I would here by yesterday and he didn't call yesterday or today. I think I'm going to assume I didn't get that job.I did get a call from another ski resort I had applied for way back on September 30th. Since it was a reportedly a six month thing ending in

"Brick"I was playing around the O!Play the last couple of days and thought I had figured out some clever things and...whatever. As it turns out I don't know as much as I thought...I...do...because the thing is in a reboot loop right now. And there's no disaster recovery option built-in so far as I can tell. Which is a shame. I found a couple options online already but none have thus far worked

"Hub"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

Today I signed up for one of the "freelance writing" sites called suite101. Or at least I attempted to sign up for it. Sometimes they have you fill out a sample article with your submitting just to imply or otherwise induce a higher caliber of applicant. Or, at least the that is what I would guess from the other site I signed up for that required and a sample and accepted me. That was about the

"Transition"Today I went to a "training session" for an upcoming one-day-only job I've signed up for. Seems like an awful lot of lead up to what amounts to roughly four to five hours of work. Still, too much training is way better than not enough.It was scheduled to last two hours but it didn't go quite that long. More like 90 or so minutes. I don't thinking I really caught enough of it.

"Talking"The most obvious thing for today was the job interview. Yes, I had the job interview today at 5pm at some hotel.I wanted to make sure I wasn't late so I went down to the area at 3:00. I mean I found the hotel at 3:00 or so. I finally found the right turn-in (it was a little tricky) then I just kind of drove around randomly for a little while. Finally I went to the closest starbucks for

"Prose" I managed to use the word "prose" in a sentence. Luckily no one was around to notice or hear it. I'm assuming using such a word in a sentence is not a good thing. Why or how did I use prose in a sentence? I'm still browsing lots and lots of freelance writing sites trying to decide which one or more sites I will eventually sign up for and stumbled across LifeTips. I was reading their

"Busy Mind"So I've managed to be distracted by mutliple things today and yesterday. Yesterday I went down to my Aunt and Uncle's house to help them with their computer. I decided they needed a router so I went to Fry's which was pretty much on the other side of the whole city. I got the router as well as a new DVD-RW drive and an HDMI cable for the Asus O!Play. By that time it was 4:00 on a

"Rain"It was kind of a weird week weather-wise. We've had nothing but perfectly beautiful days of no clouds and between 70 and 80 degrees for a couple weeks. Then it clouded up, got extremely windy, knocked the power out, rained and poured amazingly heavily and just kind of...stopped. The whole weather sequence lasting roughly 36 hours. Now that it has passed we're right back to 80 degrees with

"Word"Other than going to my sister's house and playing with my two-year-old niece nothing of any much significance happened today. Playing with my niece is always fun of course, you never quite know what she's exactly going to do next or what mood she'll be in next. I'm fairly certain that's normal for a 2-year-old though.Yesterday though I found out within 10 seconds or so of opening MS Word it

"Tired"Somehow no matter how much or what I write there's always stuff I realize later I meant to write about. And then next time I still forget to write about it. I think if I just keep writing I will eventually get to everything. I mean how much could I possibly go on and on about without actually saying anything? That's just crazy.Today I actually did very little. I did go on a relatively

"Large, High Quality"Remember when my titles were some how creative? Ya me neither.Today I apparently felt the need to catch up on my lack of cable TV subscription since the TV has hardly been off as long as I've been in the house. And I haven't even opened the PHP book.I did go back to the condo for a while, mailed my one envelope, gave the dog a shot (twice), and then also went down to Fry's.

"Busy"I've actually been busy the last couple of days, a slight departure for me. I put XP MCE on my AcerOne netbook (over-writing Windows 7 RC) and then put some movies and a TV show on it in DivX format and let my mom have it for her trip to Hawaii. I got started on this entirely too late in the day yesterday and didn't even get it to her before 4:30. And I didn't get nearly enough movies and

"Considerate"Today I think I was slightly more productive than normal. I went for the long walk again. It was a "warmish" 70 degress or so at 11:30am so that is what I did. I walked. I don't know how long, probably between 2 and 3 miles. Lots of hills and on pavement. I'm sure it's killing my knees but whatever.Then I came home and spent some time on the answer site. Then I went to lunch to have

"Idle"Not sure why I didn't post yesterday. Just didn't get around to it I guess. I did open a new savings account so I had some place to shove all this online money and point my paypal at. I won't keep much in it ya see so if PayPal is hacked what little life savings I have isn't wiped out. That's the theory anyway.Today I didn't get a lot done either. Tried to start working on my PHP/MySQL

"JA JA"I'm not nearly as upset about my bad experience with the question/answer site as I once was. The guy I reported to the site as a jerk (in so many words) refuted my complaint. I didn't think I could rationally respond yesterday and apparently I only get 12 or 24 or whatever hours to do so. So ya, whatever. I'm a little unhappy with the site anyway so I am starting to look for alternatives

"Still Up"I have no idea why I am still up or how that happened exactly. That actually wasn't the plan.I think I actually have a good reason for not posting this time: I was accepted into that paid answer service web site.I filled out their form, answered their ten fairly generic but-not-that-bad quiz questions about computers and then submitted some info to have my background verified.

MCSE Bound(?)Today I was jumping from subject to subject today/this evening. I don't remember my exact path I took to get there but some how I ended up at the MCSE books at Amazon. I thought about it quite a while and at one point I was going to just go down to Borders and buy it in person so I'd have it before I lost my nerve on spending so much. Then I saw that Amazon had what I was looking at

Over the last couple weeks or so I've been driving out to some random coffee shop (usually but not always starbucks) and sitting to try and make progress in that book I was reading (PHP/MySQL Head first). Although I haven't really made a lot of progress.Recently I did see an add for one of those "universal laptop battery" deals for like $30 or whatever. And since my laptop never did have terribly

"That Guy"I hope skipping a day isn't going to become a habit. Like anyone cares.A show I enjoyed to some degree last season has premiered once more. Of course, I don't have cable TV no more so I didn't watch it. But when I found out it had premiered I brought it up on Hulu.The show is called Dollhouse, the latest Joss Whedon creation. That's the main reason I tried to watch it consistently.

"It's only money"I didn't use a title for yesterday's post. That is kind of odd for me. I'll try to do better for this one. Or at least come up with a title.Since yesterday's post was at night right before going to bed not a lot has happened. I haven't finished with the verification for the answer site yet. I think I'm going to go by the college and see if I can get my password reset for the site

Apparently I had to skip a day. I had recieved a call at 6pm from a recruiter. He was responding to a resume I had submitted for a help desk position. Normally I avoid help desk positions at all costs. But I also have to eat. So there ya go. I submitted it anyway.The recruiter said he wanted to meet at 10:00am Wednesday (today). I wasn't expecting anything else from him in the mean time.So

"Optimist"Amazingly, I'm doing another post a mere day after my last post. That's probably not something to dwell on though.Yesterdays was a rather long post but I think I still left some stuff out so I'll cover some more.I know there was once some famous saying about the struggle to draw strength enough to cope with the things we have no control over. Or something. And I think this is very much

"Shriveled"Well I would say how I am going to write regularly now, how this time will be different, how I'm definitely going to make more entries in the blog but...considering I still have post left from my Intel job which ended more than a year ago on my main page I don't know if there's really a point to making the commitment.This time I did make a large table with days of the week and the

"Juxtaposition"Not sure why I picked that title. There was a humorous radio ad that used it so I thought it was cool and used it.Right now I am actually quite sick, which is really annoying. Mostly a subtle headache and occasional chills. The chills could be from the air conditioner though. You know, maybe.I felt this strange sensation in my chest last night but didn't actually know it was going

"I'm out"I've decided I'm going to post to this a lot more often. I realize I say that nearly every post any more but this time there's really no excuse. I can't believe I haven't posted since February.I finished out the project at the hospital in March. If I'm lucky I will never have to through something like that again. For two weeks straight I worked twelve hour shifts two or three of those

"Sleep"For the record I'd rather be sleeping. But I can't sleep. I've been planning to go back to writing for a long time anyway so here I am doing so albeit possibly against my will. Like I said: sleep. Rather be.I'm starting to accept despite all intentions I'm not going to ever get back to writing regularly, am I? Well I have different plans this time. It's never turned out very well before.

"Hospital"My job at Intel has ended. It ended a week early actually. Had I known they'd do that I probably would have left it earlier myself. Fine, whatever. I didn't make nearly the friends and contacts I would have liked at that job.During the last weeks there I got a call from a recruiter for a new job in Sacramento.

"About"Every time I come back to make an entrance in this thing I end up reading so old posts. And I'm always surprised in what they say. It seems given the number of entries I can't always actually remember the whole entry so it's almost like reading some blog I've never seen before.I have actually successfully re-arranged my room so I can use the Ethernet-over-power adapters I bought. It

"WiFi'd Out"Man, where's the time go? Keeps on slippin' as they say. Plenty of stuff has happened.Firstly I finished out that week of training the replacement (obviously). By the second day I started to realize I didn't have to cover everything in the first day. It was okay to slow down and just cover the one thing at a time. Which I did. Started going through the most important things more than

"Pre-Mature Intelligence?"Thought I would write again before bed. This is the beginning of the end for my current job. The new guy, the one that will probably be taking over where I leave off, started today. This is probably the kind of guy they should have hired in the first place: the kind with little experience Ghosting PCs and creating images etc. He's a little older than me. In his 40s if I

"Intelligent"Well I haven't done anything with my Episode three re-dub idea. I think of re-dubbing the Knights scene with kind of a kung fu sound effects. How those sound effects could need improving to make any more entertaining I don't know.But the real reason for writing is because I am excited about a new job. I put in a two week notice for my current job ya see. That would make August 3rd my

"Too Late"I have a lot of things I could write about but it's 10:00pm and I should be going to bed so I'll keep it short. Firstly if you were to go back far enough in the archives you see a reference to this movie called "Knights". Well now the clips are on YouTube (it's a mystery who posted them...wink-wink). Here is the best scene split into 3 pieces:Part 1 of 3:part 2 of 3:Part 3 of 3:I've

"Where do ya plan to stick that thing?"So it's the Fourth of July and everyone else, normal people, are outside doing stuff. I'm inside typing on a laptop while babysitting a dog. I don't mind though. It's cool where I am. Outside it's about 102 degrees. And I have a black car so it's even worse.Anyway not a lot has been going on. About two weeks ago a co-worker of mine started making my life a

"Wake-up in a coma"Again with the month between posts. What's the deal? The last post was literally a month ago. April 18th. I didn't plan to back posting again a month to the day and yet here I am. I do sleep better when I write. At least when I make it a habit anyway. Somehow I didn't get the job mentioned in the last post. The recruiter called back at the last second to leave a voice mail

"Surprisingly Well"So it's been like six weeks since I posted anything. All that reading last year got me out of the habit. Which I've said before.I went back and read the last post. Some how I'm always surprised at a past post. I mean it seems familiar but it still hardly seems like me for some reason. I did notice I use the word "any" too much. Anyway. Any case. boooo. So I'll try and avoid

"Half Asleep" For what seems like months now I have like I was on the cusp of a cold. But it's never quite materialized. This may or may not have something to do with taking Niquil at the slightest sign of cogestion in the hard or lungs. Also, on account of sometimes I can't sleep. I supposed that could be good or bad. As I may or may not have mentioned in the past I developed this strange

"Whatever, Man" The title is supposed to be a reference to Wednesday's episode of Lost. But in a clever-for-me double meaning it also references actual life. For one thing the job I've had a whole year has just ended. The job I was actually enjoying for once. That job where I got along with everyone and felt like I was bit more than "minimally competant". Ya, that one. Yesterday was my

Without planning it this way I have begun writing exactly once per week. I actually intended several times a week. Ya, whatever. At least this time I really am up early in the morning writing. This week went by incredibly quickly. The first part of the week I barely remember. Tuesday I was preparing for the trip to Reno. Yep, me back in Reno for work. How fun but not really. Course my employer

I'm getting into the writing habit slowly, but i'm getting there. It's like I do a lot or something. Program my home-brew PVR, ready my "the dark tower series" (finsihed book 6 of 7!) and tell me self I should be writing. I already did some reading so I am writing. Finally. I do work also on occasion. For instance next week I'm going to spend a day or so in Reno for some reason. Apparently the "

Alright so the get up every morning thing hasn't quite happened (yet). That's ok I'm still writing some now and that's what matters. Writing something more often than every four weeks I mean.Have I mentioned I'm taking a creative writing course at a local community college? I think I mentioned I was thinking about it. Well at the last possible second I did it. I signed up for it. Unfortunately it

I'm starting to realize for some planning on doing so much writing in November I don't do a lot of for-fun-writing. I have reasons though, really. Mostly I realized writers can't be writers without a lot of reading. Of which I was doing little. So, and I know I have mentioned this before, I started reading the seven-book-long "The Dark Tower" series. I am now (finally) on book six. This book was

"Dreams of November"So I'm thinking about re-joining martial arts. I can dream, can't I? I mean I feel like some old guy with the aches and pains I already get in my wrists and hands. I really feel like I gotta do something though. I mean I'm 27 and I only seem to expand in all the wrong places and/or directions. It would be nice to have some place to exercise in the winter. I was always

"Kingdom Come"Ya, it's a clever title. I have been reading a relatively lot these last couple months. First a few Heinlein books: Stranger in a Strange Land and Job: A Comedy of Justice (both very good) and have started some Stephen King books. My first Stephen King books in fact. Specifically the seven book epic The Dark Tower Series. I'm on the second book with 120 pages left. The first book,

"More Posting"So my plan was to go back the post right before this one and continue it. I was going to do that some time later on the 22nd or the 23rd. Well it's now the 30th and I never went back to finish it. So I'll write more in this post instead.So where was I? Ah, the new PC. Yes it's pretty sweet. It's a 7600 NVidia video card. Any higher and I'd be paying way to much (think $500+). For

"Wow, a long time"So this time I've really waited too long to write again. I can go through phases of heavy and light writing, right? I'm aloud! As mentioned in the last post the contract is "supposed" to last until late July. Well it's late June and I have no idea when the contract is ending. I'm assuming I'll make into July if not to the end of July. There just isn't anything to do for the

"The New Job"It's been another month since I posted in this thing. And I wouldn't be now but there's no AC outlets provided in starbucks and those games suck a lot of juice.In any case it's march and it's friday. So as you may have guessed Winter just started. Yes, I will probably get snow at my house tonight. In my area of the world, ya see, it snows maybe once every 15 years or so. So when it

"Not Whining"Alright, I am done whining about little things like employment and possible week long jobs that will cost more than that of which is made.Instead I'll complain about my stupid mini-itx mobo that has apparently died. See the stupid thing has stopped turning on and I do not know why. Could be the PSU actually. Could be the ATX power button's wires are loose. Could be I abused it a wee

Yesterday's post seemed incomplete. I'm finally learning when I stop writing a post even if it's not finished I should just publish it. Or it will sit the queue for several weeks. That's happened before. So why not publish it even if not complete?Not much else to say. Except I got a call from a job recruiter. He says he has a possible week or so contract lined up that he recommended me for. That

"Sacredity"Several weeks later here I am writing in my blog again. And what's happened? Oh why bother? Alright I'm back to "between jobs" right now. I had a short contract at a local company. That contract expired. So here I am, between jobs. Only for a week now I've been unemployed. I've mostly played my latest game, "Sacred Gold". This game I have several things I like and several things not

Writing backHere it is another week. I've been using my laptop pretty much constantly. I figured out the CPU in the laptop has a feature SSE3 and there's a certain thing I can do with a processor of this type. So I have spent about two weeks trying to do this. I'm to paranoid to say what exactly I am refering to. But it has been a fairly fun two weeks trying to get it to work. That SSE3 thing is

SpacedLets see I haven't written in this in five days. So before this post I glanced over the last one and ready some things I don't even remember writing. Ya, that's a little wierd. Especially that comment about Office Space since on a whim I just went and purchased the "special edition" tonight. I was looking forward to hearing a DVD audio commentary from someone related to the production. But
