Provider Annoyance: The Return
So apparently AT&T's found a new way to piss me off; make Kingdom of Loathing unplayable, by dropping the DNS cache for all images. A router reset, and the DNS cache rebuilds, so I get about 3 minutes of play time, then it drops it, and all images are unviewable again. Problem is, I don't know where the cache is stored; on my router or at the CO. ( Read more... ) -
How to Make a Hobo Happy
GROCERIES! I have groceries! So much food, I've missed so much! Also BOOZE! Sweet Baileys, oh how I've missed you. I've missed your rich creamy goodness. -
I'm coming Hooooooooome
Today, I say goodbye to bauske and ebdain's couch, and hello to my own bed again. The original plan for this couch surf was to only last 2 weeks. In the end, I've effectively doubled that. Right now, they're near the top of my mental karma list for the help they've given me. But now I'm back on the horse and running again. If only for 3 months, as it is right ( Read more... ) -
Shopping List
While this new job of mine is only a temporary contract job that will run into the end of February, it has become blindingly obvious that there is something that I WILL have to invest money into getting in the near future; a laptop.

WOOHOO!
I HAVE A JOB!
More importantly, I have a job that actually PAYS! I start training tomorrow. Which is PAID! -
Working For Free
So...that job I didn't know what exactly it was; turns out it was for Kirby vacuum. Went through their training, all signed up, and have worked three full 12 hour days, at no pay. No sale, no commission. So I'm not sticking with them (though I do want one of their vacuums). Thankfully, I haven't gotten word back from one of the tech support jobs I ( Read more... ) -
New Panic
So I'm here at Mike and Dustin's (ebdain and bauske respectively) place. Did my grocery run earlier today. Keeping a minimal footprint for my stay, and somehow becoming my father. After getting my groceries, I looked at their kitchen. Looked, as my father would have seen it. Scrubbing commenced. Grr ( Read more... ) -
