New Job
Got a new job recently. Pretty cool so far but only doing some simple reports. They have tons of snacks and there's a game room filled with beanbag chairs. I hope to get into more software development later. I think they just needed someone who can make sense of the data right now. It's a very new company and their business people don't have ( Read more... ) -
Etsy thing
Kristina opened up a little Etsy shop called something like "Grandma's tiny house". She salvaged a bunch of old things from the little (slowly collapsing) building behind her Grandmother's house and plans on selling it to help out her Grandmother financially. Very helpful and nice ( Read more... ) -
New toy!
Bought a "special" arduino from an Australian company that can use virtual keyboard & mouse libs. No more crazy long password entry at work. I really hated locking my computer every time you get up. Going to combine it with RFID to make it even cooler.
Will post pictures when it is picture ready : ) -
On the ride to work.
Turtle in the road! Run turtle, run! I usually stop to relocate lost turtles but it was just over a steep hill on joe prather (a country "highway") with no shoulder. Hope the little guy gets across safely. -

In an attempt to figure it out (because the Insight guy ran a test and said everything looked good) i coded up a logger that is collecting info 24/7. Tomorrow i'll throw up a graph and we'll see if there's a pattern to this pain. -
cleaning the compy
Reformat reinstall is almost done on the main computer. So snappy! It's like clean sheets on the bed, or warm pants from the dryer, or sitting in a new car (or freshly detailed), or sucking the warmth from your loved one with cold hands :) -
Selling books
Miss K convinced me to sell most of my books (they take up a lot of space). So we first tried selling them to a local book store, a bin (40ish books) for 20$ was the best rate we could get. Instead of selling locally we're trying half.com and so far it's working out pretty well. It averages two book sales a week ( Read more... )
