I was talking to Krass yesterday and it seems we have a new project for me involving two 2×26 LCD screens to plug into my router. The point for that is for displaying cpu, memory, in traffic and out traffic. It should be nice. Ill give you updates when I start the project.
For now I am off to my aunts house for a “Brunch”. Since when does that sound interesting? Atleast after I get to hang out with the normal crew. You know, Diana, Krass, and Biggs (call him biggles. It really pisses him off)
Later

Today I found out some horrible news about my first car. I had a 1988 Honda Accord 3 Door LX-i. Thing ran like a dream until I got into an unfortunate rear ender on the campus of my college. I started to get fixed up and all road worthy again by buying all the pieces that needed to be replaced, but I started to have a very tough time with my life. Because of this, it ended up being driveway bound for 7 months. My mom gave me an option, either finally get the Honda running or buy a new car.
Well, I did not want to do it but I ended up placing a “For Sale” sign in it’s window. It was the last thing I ever wanted to see on it but I had too. An old neighbor/friend contacted me about buying the car and getting it road worthy again. This was mostly because of his car taking a dump and running on 5 cylinders out of the 6. I did not start it for at least 4 months before he bought it. I went out an bought a battery for the car and being a true old Honda, put the battery back in, turned the key, and it started right up.
Ever since than, I truly miss the good ole’ Honda. Here are the last pictures of it before my accident. I hope he lives on. He will always be in my mind.

So somehow I ended up wandering around Walmart with Carl, Debbie, and Biggs. Also for some reason I have a bar code sticker from a pallet of Sam’s water bottle cases. I don’t know.
Anyway, in other news, I finally received my valves to get my head rebuilt and also finally get back into my car. So far my bill is up to about $1k and still rising but hey, it is all going to be new. Today I also received my German license plate from the Neatherlands. It is so nice and I can’t wait to mount it on my Jetta. I can’t wait to annoy people with the plate on.
So now I am going to get back to my Wallmarting adventure.

Today I was helping my friend Andrew out with returning his new XBox back to best buy, only because it came with the wrong DVD-ROM drive than can’t be flashed, and to get a new one. I was bored and needed to get out today so I said “Why not? Something to do that I am not choking on dust.” When at Best Buy, he ended up forgetting his receipt in his moms car. She said she is at Pathmark. The only one I knew about was the one on rt 27 (Sunrise Hwy) in Sun Vet Mall. Well here is the fun part. While I was pulling into the main entrance, right when I hit the stop sign, the car stalled for no real reason. I try to start it again and all it does is turn over and over. He gets out and pushes me into a spot. Nothing.
At first I thought it was my fuel pump so his mom drove me to my local Advanced Auto to talk with them to try to figure this all out. The guy said it must be my fuel pump that is doing that. Well after what just happened, it is definitely not the fuel pump. Later tonight, Biggs picked me up to try to figure out the problem. Some how while testing out the fuel pump and fuel check value, he got completely drenched in gas. He pulled the wrong line. In the end, it is still sitting in the parking lot all sad and it makes me sad. I hope tomorrow its all fixed and before 11:40 for school. If not I am forced to drive my grandpas Yankees machine around.
Wish me luck.

I can’t understand why my cat does this stuff to me. Last night my cat was was jumping, standing and using me as a pillow on my own bed. I actually woke up with him standing on my chest with his nose almost in my mouth. It freaked me out a whole lot. Than he did this for the next few hours till about 7AM when I woke up. Mind you, this started like 2:30ish AM this morning. He does not make much sense at night at all.
Also, the timing belt cover that I was painting. Yea, I sort of destroyed it yesterday trying to get back into the car and now I have to find another one to paint again and hopefully not break this one.
I am still having problems with my hosts e-mail server. I e-mailed a blog post with something everyone should like about two days ago and it still did not post so keep an eye out under this post for the next week or so. It will eventually pick it up, but who knows when.
I received my new La Fondera a few days ago and forgot to post it. I know, how did I already get it? Don’t ask me. It said like 2-3 weeks delivery when I got it in two days. Well of course the first thing was rip the box open, check to see which model I got, and put it back into the box and back on my shelf. I don’t know when I am going to set that one up but it will happen at some point. The old FON is completely dead. I got the serial cable from e-bay two days ago or something. I tried testing it out and what did you know, nothing at all showed up on the terminal. I was looking up about JTAG ing it but it seems like it is very very hard to get it to work right. That is a future project. Right now I have to much going on.
Krass and me now have a plan, or should I say will have one since I didn’t even give him dimensions of anything in my room, to build my new desk. If I did not tell you, my desk is way way to small for me. I can barely fit my 20″ iMac on it, let alone my second monitor. HUMMM. That just gave me another idea of what to do when this new desk is done. Ill try to remember and post it later on but ill let you all suffer (Like anyone actually cares enough) for awhile.
Wow! This is some random tangent I went of to tonight. I think the 13 hour work day completely got to me. Um, i’m going to just shut up now before I make this a full page.

Some how I ended up at Biggs for really no reason. It’s nothing special but it is something to do. Than out of no where, Jacob pulled out “Dead or Alive: Xtream 2″. Very random it is and very female filled.

Windows 7 is finally here. I grabbed an ISO off TorrentLeech.org and installed within a virtual machine using VMware. Wow, what a difference. It just works so much better in alpha than Vista with SP1. It’s kind of said that it turns out like that. My friend Andrew will soon be posting his review on this very soon (He is slow) so look forward to that.

So I just got out of my Cisco 2 class and I was hungry. So I said to myself, t bell sounds good right about now. Of course I found myself there craving 2 beef chaulpas trying to decide to take the drive though or go inside. I saw from the road that, like the usual night at my local Taco Bell, the drive though was out into the parking lot. I than decided to go inside to stuff my face. When I pulled into the parking lot, the last thing I would expect to see there was anybody I know. It turns out that my friends, Biggs and 40gig (Code name) just happen to be there. So they got there food, I got mine, they left and I left and that was my event for the night.

So last night my friend Krass and his girlfriend Diana told me how interesting my site actually is. I’m very surprised that people actually like it. I hope new lookers like this just as much.
Well I just wanted to say that first.
Here is the bad news. This morning I got a call from the other manager, Jason, because guess what? The one thing we have been trying to avoid for years happened at some point last night. The server crashed. See what sucks is that the server really does host all the six registers in the store. It holds the complete item database and it hosts the program that runs on the registers. I’m just going to try to stay out of this ordeal as much as I can. I have a test to do today for Accounting in which I am probably going to fail anyway. Still it needs to get done and I can’t be bothered with this crisis.
