Sunday Morning Coming Down

Why is it that some people use products like Microsoft Office to write web pages? Oh sure, it’s easy, but does it display worth crap in any other browser? Course not! Who cares if your vital information is unreadable to 10% of the Internet? Just got back from the gym, munching down my protein bar. […]

An Agreeable Arrangement

My cat and I have come to an amicable agreement regarding the office chairs. He gets mine, I get the wierd yuppy kneeling chair thing, and I pet him, in my chair, while I work. Sounds fair doesn’t it. <pause to pet cat> I converted my root partition to RAID0 (striping for speed) today. First

Hardware Prices Suck

Just found another local place to get hardware cheap… A-Power Online. They sound like atic.ca, another hole in the wall. Of course, they have the hard drives I just bought for more than $30 cheaper 🙁 I realize a whole week has gone by, but geez….

Ugh

Slept horribly last night. I went to bed just after 11 with the intention of getting up at 6am to go to the gym and then go to work. As time ground on it was 12:30 and I was still lying in bed unable to sleep. Shouldn’t have had that cup of tea I guess.

Crack Smocking Microsoft

What the hell is it with Microsoft that makes them change the key configuration on their keyboards each revision? I realize that people need reasons to get the newest and best in the MS Natural Keyboard (which I have and like), but the last four keyboards I have had or used have a completely different

Sunny… oh yea!

Nice day out after some wacky morning fog burnt off…. looked like there was a fire or something when I got back from my run. Not long after, just after breakfast, there was a power outage too, lots of fun. Sat around reading for a bit, then started cleaning. Lucky for me the power came

Da Fingertiiiiips

Got up at 8, went for a run. Came home, eat, showered, vegged a bit and played around with a backup program called mondo-rescue. Cat5 came by, went went to the climbing gym and discovered that my fingertips are in no way near the same shape that they once were, and that all the work

Hardware Love

I was up till past 1am last night, after a long day at work (which went fast which is good) and a good (well, “Ok”) workout at the gym. I finally got around to installing some new hard drives that Cat5 brought over a couple of days ago and discovered that my current workstation case

Day 1 Report

Was good. Not too brutal on the getting up in the morning thing, as 7:00am is when I get up to go to the gym. It was relatively easy to get up and get myself awake and alive in the morning, even with making a lunch (well, throwing some leftovers in foil and into a

Day 0.25

Yesterday I went into the place that I’ll be for a while to do a meet and greet with the main programmer there, J. He’s a decent guy with wild hair that makes me think a haircut was completely un-needed. I got a good feel for what the project will entail and how it is
