Me running in a 10k?!
Last night I decided to run a 10k with my girlfriend Cathy and her brother. I really wasn't sure how it would go, considering the longest distance I have run in any recent recollection was just over 2 miles (I probabably ran longer when I played lacrosse, but that was like 5 years ago). Anyway, I started off slow and kept a decent pace (around 12 ( Read more... ) -
New blog
As I eluded to in my last post, I am going to be making some changes. Well one thing I thought I'd start with is a new blog. I wanted the challenge and freedom to create my own thing, so I went with pyblosxom. Check it out, here I will probably syndicate it here, so ya'll can still keep up with my updates and whatnot.
EDIT: Changed the link, ( Read more... ) -
Makin changes
So I figure it's about time I started making some changes. I'm done with school and gonna be starting working full time within a month or so, so I think it's high time I get my life straightened out. Not that it's in disarray, but it could be better. I'm pretty much giving up drinking for a while, maybe I'll have a drink with dinner or something ( Read more... ) -
Looking for a GPS
So I'm looking to get a GPS. Not something too expensive, mostly for 2 purposes. First, I'll be driving cross country in a few weeks, and it would be nice to make it back. Second, I want to start geo-tagging pictures I take and having a GPS in the pocket makes that really easy. I don't really know anything about GPS's or even what companies are ( Read more... ) -
Volleyball nationals, part 1
Well day 1 of Nationals went pretty well. We were the 17th seed overall out of 48, and the second seed in our pool. We won all three matches and won our pool. First match we started a little slow against St. John's, but then got the jitters out and won the games 25-21 and 25-13. Next was College of NJ, we lost the first game 24-26, but won the ( Read more... ) -
Graduated from college
Well I finally officially graduated from college. I had to get 2 letters for previous co-ops in to the CS department and have them reviewed and approved. The problem was, I needed this done by Wednesday to be able to play in volleyball nationals (more on that a little later). So I faxed in copies of everything, and talked my advisor into getting ( Read more... ) -
DD-wrt + squid +3am productivity binge = awesome
A few weeks ago I was having lots of trouble with my Linksys WRT54G rev5 router, so I decided to give DD-WRT a shot. It definitely works like a charm, and I have been tweaking with the settings (such as upping the power on the wireless to see if it makes a difference). I then decided it would be cool to set up a squid caching proxy on my box to ( Read more... ) -
Fuck Delta, take 2
Surprise, surprise, my return flight to NYC is delayed at least an hour. Seriously fuck delta. I just heard the pilot talking to the copilot, apparantly when they were on the plane and doing the routine preflight check, the oxygen masks randomly dropped and they had to switch planes. As of an hour past my flight time, they hadn't even taken off ( Read more... ) -
Delta Sucks
So I had to fly Delta up to Rochester this weekend for a volleyball tournament (waited too long and Jetblue flights were sold out). Never a-fucking-gain. It was possibly the worst flight of my professional bull-fighting career [1]. I think the thing I hate the most is how much they screw the coach passengers over the first class/business/ ( Read more... ) -
Wow, college is over
Wow, so I am stopping packing because I can't function anymore, but in a few hours I'll be loading up my van and leaving college for good. I can't believe it's already been 5 years. I can still remember the layout of my first room and sitting up late that first night just talking to my roommate and not being able to sleep with anticipation of ( Read more... )
