One more week and a day until payday and I'm really hurting for cash...today I should be able to pick up my Supra and spend what little money I have on my terribly high deductable. You know, the nice thing about my job as compared to previous jobs that I have held is that I never feel bad on Sundays. I used to hate having to go to work, or to school on Monday morning, but I really don't mind anymore. Hell, if I didn't have to start until noon I'd probably go everyday. I've been really busy at work the previous couple weeks tho, and I think I have to find a better way to keep track of my work. So far I have had a pad of paper on my desk to write down all the jobs I need to take care of. This worked pretty flawlessly as long as I could keep track of the paper, and didn't blow it off my desk with my compressed air can (I love that thing). However, yesterday I had a look at it to see what I needed to do and I came across the phrase "fishbowl comp girl access to something". Does that make sense? It took me two hours to finally remember what that meant and it still didn't really make sense.
This past Friday I ended up at Blue4130's house and had a breif discussion with Unit3 about destroying things. It appears there are plans in the making regarding the TV that is sitting in soul_d's backyard. It seems that there will be a lucky 'prize recipient' within the next week or so. 
 Above are some sweet Volare pictures taken fresh from this weekend by Dog Pound's digital camera. On the left you see the Volare facing some harsh Saskatchewan weather (we get frequent dust storms), in the center is a sweet profile of the super-volare, and on the right is the super-volare pushing a Ford Fairmont (for sale *reduced* $45 - phone 230-6173). Last but not least, I have an article from the one and only Audiophile. In this article, he discusses the state of today's modern high school student, Check it out! I added the pictures to give it some color... Note from DP to soul_d: "FREE JAMES WAYNE OR ELSE!" | |||||

Awwwww.....too late for me. Another day, some more overtime and I'm tired as hell. Some crazy email virus downed the exchange server in a matter of about half an hour and the rest of the night was spent getting the virus software on many of the machines updated so that this thing won't just attack again. What a pain in the ass... On the bright side of things, I finally got a chance to clean up my office today. How? I dumped everything from my desk onto the floor and then used my compressed air can to blow all the dust, dirt, and hard drives onto the floor where the janitors are sure to take care of them. Coming soon: DOG POUND DAY | |||

Damnit...seems like this week should be over already and its only Wednesday. Its a really long time until next payday, and I have a rather expensive deductable to pay for my car (yeah, I know YC, I should have a package policy)...
I caught some interesting news today, which you probably all already know, but I think I will post it anyways: "Microsoft has set internal delivery timetables and design goals for its next-generation Windows release, code-named Whistler. September 18, 2000 4:51 PM ET The product: Microsoft's 'Whistler,' a Windows 2000 successor. The goal: To go gold on April 18." Is is just me or is it a little early to be introducing another Windows version already? Talk about flooding the market, pretty soon nobody will have the right version of windows to do everything and software developers will become so frustrated that they will just go back to writing software for the Commodore 64, and then there would be much rejoicing from my end. C=64 rox. I have some exciting pictures for everybody to get us into the halloween spirit, but they will have to wait for tomorrow because I like to make you wait for everything. Thats right, complain all you want. Wait, I don't hear anything... And start posting on the Discussion Board already, its getting pretty dull...help me hit that 10'000 hit mark! Audiophile the king of kings, asked to be mentioned in this update and I am honored to refer to him on my presigious site... | |||||

Not much of an update today...sorry folks. I've been so busy reading The Sacumbee Affair that I almost forgot about my site. There's something fishy about that Armago, and I can't quite put my finger on it. But there is no question that Mance is the one who must put an end to this Vega fellow, whoever it is. I'm just hoping to see Armago's robot partner appear again soon. Today I managed to get a ride in Blue4130's new Honda Del-Sol. Pretty sweet ride if I must say so myself, and this made me want to re-link to that old site about how Del-Sols are better than any other car, but unfortunately that page has been taken down :( Anyhow, I've been promising myself I'll go to bed earlier every day so away I go. You'll have to amuse yourself by checking out Mel's Page, Razor's Page, or how about a little Mr. T? | |||

Thanks Mel for informing me I had my dates all messed up on my last few updates, sheeesh where did I lose 2 days from?? Thats really weird, I honestly think I slept through a whole day or something... I know the olympics are all over and done with, but there's just something about sports bloopers that makes you have to watch them again, and again, and again. So I present to you another painful sports moment: live from Sydney... Audiophile, one of the two people in my Supra with me at the time I scratched it up, has drawn a comic depicting the reason the accident ocurred. At first I was a little embarrased about the whole ordeal, but the truth has to be told... Oh, and Audiophile, I finally started reading that book I borrowed from you "Advanced Speaker Systems". As soon as I'm done I will have to start on soul_d's book "Sound Systems for places of Worship". I'm thinking of building a church... And speaking of soul_d, I swung by his place tonight to pick up some old tires of mine and got drilled by his parents about the TV they figure I left in their backyard. I kept telling them it was Unit3's TV but they kept insisting that I remove it anyway. To make matters worse, I work with soul_d's dad so this could get to be a daily thing... I should also mention that soul_d gave me a demonstration of his home stereo system consisting of 4 10" subs, 2 15" subs and a pair of horn-tweeters that could break glass. I think he took about 5 years off of my hearing when he blasted some Sir Mix-a-lot towards my fear-stuck face...with bass that actually made my vision blur...I guess thats what you get when you put an auditorium stereo system in a room slightly bigger than my car.  What an adorable bunch... Somebody broke into the Super-Volare the other night. Well, perhaps I shouldn't say broke into, but rather just opened the door and stole stuff. Actually, I probably shouldn't say stole stuff either, but rather just cleaned my car up. As far as I can tell, they walked off with:
I really don't think that I should have to go to work tomorrow. About half an hour before it was time to leave on Friday, one of our main servers crashed. The hard drive died, completely, meaning that the whole damn thing had to be re-installed and restored from off-site backup tapes. And, of course, almost everybody had already gone home (including the guy who handles the backups - although we managed to get ahold of him and force him to come back). Needless to say my first 'on-call' weekend was pretty fun, with 4 hours of overtime on Friday night, and 7 hours on Saturday. Luckily, I was able to pull a lot more information off of the dead HD than I originally thought possible so our loss was minimal...which is good, but I'm still a little tired... | |||

Damnit I feel like shit today, I think I may have been infected by something from one of my many sexual partners... A couple days back I received an email from Javagirl with a poem that describes why it is that computers crash. This Dr. Seuss-like poem explains a lot of things, but works against the whole Rappablords theory which JayB had me convinced of for so long. Either way, its worth a read, so READ IT!  No matter how often you do a job, never comprimise safety. This applies to every proffesion, from Programmer Analyst, to prositutes, to Beavers.... Dr. Razor gave me an mpg of an old Warner-Bros cartoon featuring some good old fashioned racism. I have to warn you - its 80megs and you would be stupid to download it, but here it is: Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarfs. Wow, we are now nearing 10'000 hits, and I am thinking more and more that I need a site redesign. Hmmmm... websites take too much time, its kinda stupid. You know, like I should just be able to think things and they should appear in a pretty layout for me. Damnit, if somebody would come up with software to do that I would give them $1, no questions asked. Thought of the day: It is impossible to fold any piece of paper more than 7 times | |||
