So I kinda disappeared the last couple of days and I apologize. I think my ankle sprain affected me more that I would have hoped. I literally did nothing this weekend and that kinda sucks. I really need someone or something that will drive me to task when I have things that I want or need to get done, because apparently I’m to much of a sloth to do it myself.

I also have had a bit of a hickup on the Joint Project with Steve and Rob. I know part of it is my ankle has really prevented me from working out, but I’ve also been hungry all the time.

Ugg, this post is way too emo for my tastes. I promise the next post will be less so.

I put the second lol in there because I am not sure if I have “lol blog post” thing.

Yesterday was very informative. It was pretty boring, but informative non-the less. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, I went to a Microsoft TechNet event in Livonia yesterday. They discussed BitLocker for Vista and Server 2008, which seems to be really cool on the fly hard drive encryption. They also talked about some protocol procedures built into Server 2008. Very dry material, but still quite interesting.

The drive down to Livonia sucks as. I do think I have a better idea of what Seattle in Shadowrun is like, which segways quite nicely into my next topic: I’m running a Shadowrun game this weekend (Did you see what I did there?). The guys want to play Shadowrun this weekend. It should be a lot of fun, I just need to come with some ideas to use with it.

I’m falling asleep, so I’m going to post more later

I worked this afternoon. We got the phone system fully documented. It was a lot of headaches, but it’s done. We didn’t rip the rack clean, but atleast we can now. I do get two days off this week also. Working this weekend so I get a long weekend next weekend works for me.

Any, that’s it. I didn’t do anything interesting like nuke my wordpress theme like Rach did.

I haven’t worked on Sunday since I quit the food library. I’ve got to work tomorrow because me and Patrick haven’t finished tracing the phone system. It’s been a good learning experience.

Here’s the mess we’ve had to work with.

Anyway, good job Packers and go Jags. I’ll post tomorrow, internets

quick post from the phone, lolLOL

So earlier today, while playing poker, and sucking, I made a post from my iphone. And the above line was the result. The person responsible for that has been sacked.

I’ve got nothing but the following screenie of some spam I got today. Look at what the spam is promising me.

I’ve been so tired from work the last two days that I have done squat, and I feel bad about it, because at the beginning of the week I was so gung-ho about it and stuff. I’ve got the Caffiene headache going, but I don’t want to drink any more since it’s so close to bedtime.

Speaking of work, I’ve been running, or limp as the case maybe, with my bad ankle, for the last two days. I’ve been moving non-stop doing this and that, which is actually good. I’d rather be busy than bored with nothing to do.

My new graphics card came, which is gonna be awesome. Hopefully its leetness will translate into me being able to run dual monitors and games at the same time. Ever since I’ve started running dual monitors, I’ve noticed that my games crap out if I run them on cranked out settings. The new card has a half a gig of ram, so that shouldn’t be a concern anymore.

That’s all I’ve got. Hopefully tomorrow’s post will be more insightful.

I’d hate to do this, but since Rach tagged me and she’ll get on my case if I don’t do this so here we go.

The Meme:

Share six unimportant things/habits/quirks about yourself.

Here are the rules.

**Post the rules on your blog.
**Share six trivial things/habits/quirks about yourself.
**Tag six people and the end of your post and link to their blogs.
**Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
**Learn anecdotal things about your blog friend!

Now for my six things:

1) I listen to heavy metal to concentrate. There is something about the almost mechanical drum beats that help me focus on tasks at hand, especially anything that involves math.

2) Even tho I am a “Linux Guy”, I am forced to use Windows on a daily basis at home and at work. If it were up to me, I’d limit my Windows use to the virtual machine I’m updating as I type this. I am also a Linux Guy and I use a iPhone. Go figure.

3) I think out loud. A lot. In situations where people look at me weird for talking out loud.

4) I stutter less when I’ve been drinking. It slows my brain down to the speed of my mouth.

5) I do a pretty good Captain Kirk imitation.

6) I am not superstitious, but when it comes to poker, I am a creature of habit. I have a specific routine I have to follow when I’m playing or I find myself not being able to play as well.

Alright, there’s your crappy meme. Rob gets to do it now, I guess

I’ve had one all day and nothing I’ve tried seems to work. Ohh well.

As some of you may or may not know, I’ve been thinking about starting up a side business where I basically do what I do now, which is get paid to do peoples networking stuff for them. Well, I’ve already got a business card design in the works, and I want to make sure that from a tax standpoint, everything I was doing was correct. So I talked to one of the instructors at school to get the skinny on what I should do, should I get an LLC or a DBA. After talking to him I got a lot of my questions answered, and I decided to setup a DBA, mainly due to cost and the fact that this business doesn’t generate enough income to warrent being incorporated.

There’s a Microsoft seminar in Livonia that I’m going to next week. I get out of class for the day and it seems like a pretty cool experience. Also, there will be free stuff. I had to laugh as a I signed up, because I’m going to be a Linux guy with an Apple phone at a Microsoft event.

I actually went grocery shopping today for healthy food. Christ, I feel like a responsible adult.

I’ve decided to join Rob in his exercise challenge. You can find out more at the Joint Project page at the top.
