There’s nothing to eat around where I work, so I usually go to Burger King.  Best Buy is like next door to it so I end up wandering over there way too often, just like I did today! There are new Xbox 360 games: Hitman: Blood Money, Final Fantasy XI, Table Tennis, and X-men 3… [...]

Memorial Day is when we pay homage to the noble Memorions for giving their lives to the evil Lord Vishnu that we might have a day of BBQ and beer.   I cleaned up the OCMS office (my computer room).  I have a closet full of old parts and other various electronic cables and equipment [...]

Well, I have 3x 120GB drives in the server… 1 is the system drive, and the other 2 are setup in a software RAID (JBOD). It turns out that I was trying to install the OS on one of the spanned drives. As soon as I identified the correct drive, then I blew away the [...]

So, I’ve been having problems with my home server (network jack acting flaky), so I decided to replace the motherboard (faster processor, etc).   Sometimes Windows Server 2003 will just pick up the new hardware and run with it, but no bootie… blue screen of death every time.  No problem, and is to be expected.  [...]

Toshiba e335 I originally got a Toshiba e335 a few years ago when Pocket PCs were starting to become popular.  Many of my friends had Palms or other organizers, and I needed something to replace my outdated Franklin Planner.  I had been a Franklin Planner cultist for nearly 8 years, so I always write everything [...]

This weekend is Memorial Day, so most businesses are closed Monday.  I took Tuesday off, so I’m gonna enjoy a 4-day weekend!  Woo hoo!  I have to take my kids to the doctor on Tuesday, but at least I don’t have to go to werk!   Today seemed like Friday, but I still have to [...]

This weekend I went to a LAN party… didn’t end up playing any games, but I did copy a few things.  They had a LOCAL World of Warcraft server and with modified options.  The max level was upped to 255 and the XP to level up was severely reduced!   My freakin’ glasses broke!  I [...]

Talking on your cell phone while driving was bad enough, but now we have a new plague of stupidity sweeping the nation…   I speak of bluetooth headsets.   What is the deal with some a**hole wearing a blinking blue earpiece all the time as if it’s Halloween and they’re dressing up as a Borg.  [...]

Man, DirecTV  has become a little too big for their britches!  It seems like every month our service gets turned off once a month.  If you are ONE day late, they cut you off.  It is kinda cool to see your service spring back to life the INSTANT your credit card is approved. though.  Maybe I [...]

I haven’t been posting because I’m paranoid about werk.  I was under an oppressive regime in development… maybe I’ll write more about it later, but needless to say there is a co-worker who takes too much interest in my personal life, and then went whining to my old manager about what I do in my [...]
