Dad and I didn't make it to Boston, but it's ok. My great-grandfather lived a happy and full life, and I know it. It's sad, but he is at peace, and that is a comfort. I was lucky to know him so well, and to have heard so many of his stories about life before WWI and the roaring twenites, Babe Ruth, Charlie Chaplin, and life in general. On a ( Read more... )

My great-grandfather passed away this morning. I may or may not be flying up to Boston tonight.

I feel it coming on, the breaking down. It's what I do. I pretend like I'm ok with things, then more crap keeps mounting and I don't know if I can really handle it all. And I don't even really know how to explain it all anymore either. It just boils down to a big "I don't know". I hate that. I hate this... the slow draining in your stomache that ( Read more... )

My computer is running, but we have to get new RAM. The stuff Dad picked up today wasn't good. I'm still using the stuff from his old machine. Whatever works.

We won at trivia. We rule.

I have an exam in a few hours. I'm going to sleep after I install a few more things. That's all I've got right now. Hope everyone is doing well.

Yeah, so my computer is semi-fixed now. Chris and I toyed around with it earlier, and couldn't figure out what was wrong, but Dad and I found it. That thing with the RAM loading at the beginning was the problem afterall, Chris. The system was only using 40MB of RAM out of 256. The RAM was, in a word, screwy. We came to this conclusion after trying ( Read more... )

Alan, Chris, and I dominated at trivia last night. Yes, we went on a Thursday. We played against Ian, Ray, Wes, and Adam and put them in their place. School was canceled yesterday (the first time in my entire tenure at State) and it was very nice. I got to miss a Bio exam, but it was rescheduled for Tuesday, so it's only a temporary reprieve. A ( Read more... )

My computer has crashed rather suddenly. Linux still works, but Windows has crashed completely. Are you aware of any new security threats or bugs? I'll check this tomorrow and call you later to see if we can't figure this out.

I hate Microsoft.

I would just like to take a moment and comment on how glad that Daniel DeWitt is my friend.

Thanks.
