Well, the time disappeared again, mostly in the Sinkhole that is my Job. I really feel like I want to update a little more frequently, but there’s simply not THAT much going on, besides the usual. Work, Computers, and New Friends.
Ok, that last part isn’t that Usual for me.
We had an employee that [...]

So things were pretty hectic at work today. Insurance inspectors, contractors, speed freaks, domestic violence, etc. The usual. While this stuff was going I realized our Surveillance System wasn’t outputing footage properly. So I opened it up and found the problem, and a bit of soldering later it was fixed.
But that [...]

Been a few days.
Well first, a Happy Belated Valentine’s Day to everyone.
Speaking of which, “Miles” took me out for dinner last week and he got me a lovely bouquet of flowers. We had Sushi at ‘Yoshi’s’, and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. Yum Yum.
Afterwards we went out for drinks [...]

Well, here I am, reporting from my Brand New Macbook Pro. It’s like riding a dreaaammmmmmm……

I luv it, but times are rough. [...]

It was a very rushed night. I planned to nap after work, take a long, hot shower, and sort of ease into the night. Instead ‘Jewels’ stopped by early hungry, so we went out to eat. I was trying not too eat too much because I didn’t want [...]

Well, here it is- another year has crept up and taken a bite out of me.
Tonight I plan to go out with a few friends to a club/event I’ve never been to before, but is supposed to be pretty good. I’ve taken the day off of work tomorrow in preparation. I’ve also stocked [...]

Wakeup at 4:30, down a ‘No-Doze’ pill, snooze til 5 and get up Groggy free and ready to go. I better enjoy this before my body builds up a tolerance.
Getting a lot of work done, at any rate. The boss has been dragging his feet about redecorating, so I’m going to take the [...]

As I speed-read through my RSS feeds, soaking in the moment before it leaves me behind, I came across this 1981 Bay Area news clip on Gizmodo. It’s basically the birth of Online News Media. It’s very retro and quaint- two hours to download a single newspaper (without pictures)- through a rotary phone, [...]
