Now I hurt. My legs have decided to go on strike and cramp up. Ouch ouch. Katte and I watched some The Young Ones last night and I had to keep stretching my legs to relieve the pain. I knew in the back of my head that this would happen, but once I'm better I'll convince myself that it was all worth it. And then I'll do it again next year. ( Read more... )

The warehouse and the corporate guys all went paintballing today. I got hit in the arm, the thigh, the thigh, the thigh, the thigh, and the thigh. No big bruises though, 'cause I was smart enough to wear heavy clothes this year. Unlike last year when I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt. I was also smart enough so that the one part of my body that ( Read more... )

Never, ever, ever buy Jetway brand computer components. Ever. Never ( Read more... )

I really gotta stop doing this not-sleeping thing. After karaoke last night, I decided there was no point in going to sleep, since it was 2:30 AM anyway. So, I didn't sleep. Now here I am at work sitting in my comfortable executive chair writing articles and reading detailed technical reports. You know, the kind of reports that make people ( Read more... )

Fortunately, when the big boys' version of GNU/Linux sucks, you can just get a distribution from somewhere else that fits your machine perfectly. Quite ( Read more... )

So brideofsatan23 has been feeding me dinner lately, which is really nice because even I get tired of fast food and instant soup. Yesterday she decided to make me stovetop casserole. It was raining when we made it home to the grocery store, lightning, thunder, the whole bit, and as we were about to get out of the car, there was this BAM and I saw sparks ( Read more... )

The worst part of waking up in the morning is that my head won't lift up from the pillow, like it weighs fifty pounds.

Jen gave me some makeup tips last night. She's cool. And she's right about facial hair. It doesn't go well with makeup. Now I face a major life decision: should I shave my beard? Oh, what a wretched life that I should be ( Read more... )

Usually Fridays are pretty slow at work, and management locks up the warehouse at about 3:00. Turns out they were waiting for a shipment that never arrived, and that's just as well since I found myself busy setting up Windows XP Pro for a couple of new motherboards that we carry. Side-by-side, there is a noticeable difference between a $1000 ( Read more... )

I used to be really on top of things, Internet-wise. Email through a dial-up BBS. Downloading MP3s in '95. Downloading dirty pictures on a 14.4 modem. Those were the days. Thank God they're over ( Read more... )
