Wireless, take 2
This morning I wrote a really long post, about how I got wireless working. I had lots of spelling mistakes, and rather than using LJ's primitive spell-check correction mechanism, I figured I'd copy it to another text editor and do it more easily. For some reason, opening the text editor (which I use for ALL of my software development) crashed my ( Read more... ) -
Biodiesel
When doing a little maxxing today, I stumbled upon this picture of a biodiesel motorcycle. I had to find out more, not about this bike in particular, but about diesel & biodiesel bikes. I found this very informative page on diesel motorcycles & how to make Biodiesel. I also found this(expired) eBay auction for a 1965 Royal Enfield Diesel. Of ( Read more... ) -

It seems that recently people have been catching up with their journals, whether it be bluechromis saying what she's NOT posting about, or jjharris1978's brain dump of the last 6 months. I've certainly had a bunch of stuff going on, so I'm going to try to keep on top of it better.
This just in...This morning, I got some good news. I'm not going to need surgery on my ( Read more... ) -

Weird weather... I'm looking out my window right now. It's pouring, and I can only see blue skies. My window, or rather the distance from it, restricts me to about a 30 degree angle from the horizon, so I can't see above me. But still weird.
I'm going to go see Howl's Moving Castle with bluechromis this evening, and then perhaps some pool (hiddenbear?). But first a ( Read more... ) -
Trial by water.
I made a bad decision this morning. It looked like it was going to be a perfect day to ride to work. The temperature was in the 50's and it was cloudy. Brisk baby! Weather Underground showed one storm that was in western mass, that looked like it was going to miss us ( Read more... ) -

So, this morning, I met motospeedfreek's younger sister. After hesitating (I knew she had multiple sisters), I congratulated her on her recent high school graduation. Uhhh... wrong sister. This one is 31!!!!!
motospeedfreek, what the hell did your parents feed you kids when you were little? Did you happen to build your house over a fountain of youth or something??? B & ( Read more... ) -

Wow was this a busy weekend. I collapsed into bed both nights exhausted.
Friday night, I went to F's b-day party (after work drinks & dinner). motospeedfreek & I went in on a tasty bottle of Talisker for the birthday boy. All in all it was a fun night, I got to spend some time talking to what_do_we_know, more than I think we've ever sit and chatted, just the 2 of us, ( Read more... ) -
Book Meme
1.) Total number of books owned.
Tough to say. Like hiddenbear I'm a slow reader. So I'd have to say I've probably got about 100.
2.) The last book I bought.
Like bluechromis, I just bought my text book for the class I'm starting today, Relational Database Systems. Other than that, I just bought two repair manuals for my motorcycle, one a general motorcycle ( Read more... ) -
Great Email
bluechromis & I are going to run a race on thursday. Due to the terrible weather, they must have been getting tons of emails begging for it to be rescheduled. We got the following in response:

payday blues.
Why, oh why, did they have to pick this month to mistakenly enter in that I worked only one hour this past month... thus no paycheck.
all snide remarks about how I actually don't "work" are not appreciated ;)
Ok, I finally got in contact with someone, and they'll mail a replacement check. Which doesn't help me for the weekend... but its all that ( Read more... )
