Journal Journal: World of Stargate Atlantis

There was a cute reference to World of Warcraft in last night's Stargate Atlantis. I wonder with the references to the currently unreleased expansion if they actually meant the episode to air later in the season but was changed given the canceling of the series.

( Rough transcript )

DL: Dr. Lesban
DW: Dr. Weir

Journal Journal: I'M JACK BAUER, I YELL REALLY LOUD

Well it is done. I've just finished the last DVD of 24 season 4. After having watched season 5 on tv I am now glowing in the drama that is 24. Man that Jack Bauer, he's sure something. And what a healthy set of lungs he's got. That's no small feat considering how many toxic situations he's been in. He can even point a gun fairly accurately while serenading his enemies with his bass.

Journal Journal: Anatrove LIVE rwar!!!

Anatrove has a new look. I decided to finally polish it up a bit, and after some help from Rachel it's looking might nice. All the same functionality is there, but Rachel was nice enough to do some wireframes and a new layout that definitely make Anatrove nicer to look at.

Journal Journal: Social Networking++

I'm an active user of Flickr and peruse their discussion folders occasionally, and man if there isn't one mangy user that lights up like a light bulb whenever I come across something they've posted. They're just freaking irritating, and they are very active ( in bad ways ) so it's hard to just forget about them.

Journal Journal: The End is Here, 8/22

I thought this guy was just crazy, but it turns out he was kinda right. The end of the world came today!

Joking aside, it was a good show, but it's time was about up. They more or less tried to rehash the entire original plot recently which was probably a good sign they should have ended it.

Journal Journal: Help: Derby DB Issue

Having some issues with derby and understanding why it may be as such.

I have two table in my DataBase

Table A:
Int
varchar(500) The values have an average length of 19 with a std dev of 10

Table B:
Int
Int
SmallInt

So the Ints are 2 Bytes, the SmallInt 1 Byte, and the varchar ( god help me ) is as small as need be.

I have 2 million record in Table A, 3.5 Million in Table B.

Journal Journal: The Good and Bad of TV on DVD 1

After my switch from Blockbuster to Netflix I've been watching 24 from the beginning. Netflix has yet to not have the next disk available and it's almost always a 2 day turn around; rock on netflix.

As for 24, it's a great show. If you like movies with covert ops, terrorists and writers than don't mind killing important people then I recommend it. I didn't like the show at all for no good reason until I caught an episode in season 5 and got hooked. I don't mind at all.

Journal Journal: Hands on Hardware

Lately I've been playing with hardware more than usual. I don't really like the typical stuff like figuring out why I can boot windows; is it the harddrive? is it the ram? I really don't care. I just want the damned thing to work. To solve that problem I had to ditch a drive, wipe the other and reload everything. Fun. especially for a computer that I only play WoW on a couple hours a week.

Journal Journal: Cat eats Mouse

Abby ate through my mouse cable today :/

She seems to not like it when I'm sitting at my desk on the computer and proceeds to nibble on whatever wires may be snaking around the area. Looks like I'll get to have some fun splicing the wires back together.

Journal Journal: The Juice 2

I need a little jolt, a little bit of energy you know, think you can help?

I'm of course refering to batteries. I need C sized rechargeable NiMH batteries, preferably in the 1000+ range. Problem is I need 16 of these guys, so I need them cheap each like $1.50 each. I've got some leads online, but if anyone has some suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Journal Journal: Take a Look Inside; in Three Parts 3

I've mentioned this to a couple people but not here yet. On the 30th I'll be part of my first ever photography gallery show! It's kind of more random than deserved but I'll take it, and it should be much fun.

Journal Journal: Mapping It All Out

My website really sucks. It's definitely better than some I've had but this one got dropped in the middle of a redesign over a year ago. Oh well.

Journal Journal: Stupid Haverty's

Don't you love it when you think a nasty situation is over just to find out months later that 'they' screwed up and you have to deal with it all again?

I bought a couch and chair from Haverty's back in July, the chair came just fine it was good. The couch however ended up coming about a month late. The main problem was that the local store had no idea what was going on from their supplier/manufacturer, so every couple days it was "it'll be there in a week". I like how a comp

Journal Journal: Stupid iMusic Stuff

First off I love my iPod, I got it back in ... the summer of 2003 and have made good use of it. I was dismayed when about a year ago it only held a charge for 30 min or so, but I replaced the battery myself for much less than apple wanted and all was good. I've used iTunes exclusively for my music library since having the iPod. Winamp was fine before that but it lacked; and I really don't enjoy whipping the llamas ass.
