Wow… its been a few days since I have written in my journal. That’s probably not a lot to most people, but seeing as how I am an unemployed bum with nothing but time on his hands, generally… that seems like forever. Been learning Cocoa, for no other reason than I had nothing to do.…

So I was watching Conan tonight with beststephi and  Janeane Garofalo was a guest. She spent her entire segment complaining about the MTV VMAs from the other day. Now a lot of what she said I agreed with, but there was one thing that she said that bothered me a lot. She complained about MTV…

applied for a bunch of jobs on monster.com. Not even sure how many. but it makes me feel less lazy than I had been feeling. Played tennis with beststephi, max1975 and anisodragnfly. First we played a double’s set, which beststephi and I won, mostly due to the fact that apparently no one but me can…

brotherless_one has seen the new truck modification and agrees that it kicks ass. The brief survey of humanity now looks like this: Gender Coolness Based on Truck Mods  GenderMod Vote chrismaverickKOOL BoyKicks Ass! beststephiSTOOPID GirlSo? brotherless_oneKOOL BoyKicks Ass! I think that should answer any questions as to which gender is cooler.

got the truck inspected. Bleah, bunch of stuff was wrong with it. Cost to fix it was over $400,… thus 400x the cost of the truck. Sigh…. I’m glad that my insurance is based on their perceived value of the vehicle, instead of what I actually paid for it… otherwise, every time I ran out…

Well, that was interesting. I liked it for the most part. Curious to see what they do next season. But I think I will watch next season on a week to week basis instead of all in one night. Oprah Log Apparently they have stopped taking problem submissions and are making decisions on finalists. I…

On the TV show 24, Kiefer Sutherland, as Jack Bauer apparently spends 24 consecutive hours on an adventure… I’ve spent the better part of a year avoiding knowing anything more than that. Now, thanx to the braintrust at FX, I am going to live that adventure with him in real time. This is gonna hurt

just played singles against wooble. Ouch… Actually, it was pretty good. Maybe the best series we’ve played. Won the first set 6-2 followed by losses of 4-6 and 5-7. Sigh. My knee started acting up in the 2nd game of set 2, and my stomach cramped up soon after that. So I was hurting, but…

I actually got spam just now offering to sell me something that blocks pop up ads. What is the world coming to? Do they not realize the folly of what they are doing? sigh

sk4p needed one more person for his fantasy football league, so I decided to sign up for that too. Single list offline draft, so its over already. Ended up getting (in draft order): 1.

Puffy is hosting a reality television game show… if its not any trouble, could someone stop the planet, I’d like to get off now. No more for me, please. Oprah Log Noprah for Oprah.

Decided to take it easy today as I was up all last night coding problem #5. As I said before, I mailed it in at like 7 this morning. No word as yet. I am sure Oprah is considering. I did get a call at like 8:30 or 9AM from Sally Jesse (my head hunter)…

Finally got what is supposedly the last test from Telerama. Upon getting it, I immediately made the bone-headed mistake of locking myself out of my own home directory. *sigh* Got them to fix that (i admittedly felt really stupid) and then went to start the problem. They wanted me to write something in C, so…

Finally got my birthday present from Anu and danitapgh. A new Twinview video card. Ok, quartz extreme makes all the difference in the world. Wow.
