A friend came in from out of town last week and we spent most of the week going places that I always had intended to go to, but never had the chance to see. I have pictures up if anyone wants to see them. My friend went down to North ...

So it's Thursday night and I'm out of things to watch on Tv. I know, I know, hat's not normal for me. However, recently times are changing and I'm withdrawing more from online than I have before. Not sure what is up, though I do know that tomorrow I plan ...

You know, I've done some stupid things in my life. I've done some bad things in my life. I've also done some good stuff that I don't really make too much out of. I would hope that when I die if there's an afterlife I end up somewhere good. The ...

It rained today. Nearly two inches so far with no end in sight. It's creepy out, not really misty, but just generally creepy. I'm thankful that it isn't colder and all of this would be snow, but still was creeped out for most of the day. In the shower it ...

It is starting to get late on a Tuesday night. I remain unemployed, not quite as blissfully as the last time I was unemployed (almost exactly 10 years ago) since debts and obligations tend to change the way you look at the time off. I'm typing now from the computer ...

It's a week later and I'm sitting here getting over life. Actually, I'm getting things done. So here's some random details of my life. Got Iago's ashes today and the nurse said that the doctor said he had an abnormal liver. That's probably what killed him. They didn't do tests ...

Might as well get this out of the way, I'm officially "laid off." They killed my entire division some time ago for the place that I work. I worked through the 60 day transition period and now I'm done and sitting on my butt. I have another week or so ...

During the time away I figured out that it was bad ram on this machine that was causing all the crashes. The hard drive was also pretty fried. My original plan last week was to pull out the sorta-fried 80gb hard drive out of this machine and put in a ...

I'm having some sort of a week. I mean it was exactly 13 days since I've had to do a total reformat of this computer. This time I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2004 (it had decided that I've registered it too many times and Norton's Customer Service's solution was for ...

A week or so later ... It's been the week from hell. I've been saying that quite a bit lately. Every time I start to think that a week couldn't possibly get worse, I go and top myself. Don't ask. I'll leave it at I'm on an old 80gig hard ...

Just don't get me started. I replaced the shuttle xpc sn41g2 with a Biostar box. Same concept (mini-form factor), but a bit more mature and an inch longer so OF COURSE I have to buy a whole new bag for it. The Biostar seems to be more stable than the ...

I was up late last night. Nope, wasn't the fear of that god-awful VH-1 Michael Jackson movie keeping me up, it was Microsoft Windows Update. For whatever reason it was taking HOURS to download 18megs of files. I finally shut it off somewhere around 1am and went to bed. My ...
