I've basically decided to stop writing journals. Not sure why... I'm certainly anti-social enough already. If you wish to talk to me, my email is listed. I'm also on IM fairly regularly these days. Those are also list in my
This is very personal and probably not too bright of an idea. I may get the urge to delete the entry, so I apologize in advance to any commenters if that happens. That said, I've had the urge to put this up, so here you are:
We were asked to re-write a miracle story, but the only miracle stories I know are the biblical ones, and I don't really feel like doing those right now. On the other hand, how do you re-write your life?
How do re-write the converstion you have with your boss, when you tell him that you can't work tonight, because your wife is having a C-section?
Well, this was written based on "muddy creek", and some old ideas I had bouncing around in my head. It's way too short, because I forgot my memory stick with the story on it at work all weekend, and I don't have time to work on it today at work. Enjoy.
I'm looking for some recommendations for reading material. I read a lot. I get depressed and anxious when I don't have reading material available. I'm looking to build up a good list of books that I can order from the inter-library loan to keep myself supplied.
I should know better, but I tried to have a discussion on another site today, and got accused of poor basic math skills. Being generally thick skinned, I shot right back, but the other person insisted on being wrong. Can someone answer a question for me?
So imagine that each person has three kids on average.
Given this, would anyone care to tell me how many siblings an average child has? Assume for the moment all children survive.
Wow... Two journals in two days. That's unusual for me. FYI, Memtest confirmed that I've got bad memory sticks, and of course... I'm just outside the 30-day return window. So, $70 down the drain, and I've got to scrape it up again to get a stable machine. It'll be a few weeks.
OK, so fate and finances have determined that I won't be building myself a new PC anytime soon. What I did do is get myself some new memory, replacing my 2 256M PC2100 chips with 2 512M PC2100 chips. I would have gone higher, but my current motherboard tops out at 1G. Now for the weirdness:
I'm hoping to put together a new PC. I'm hoping to build it myself, mostly because I want to have an upgrade path available, and I hate trying to fit my big hands into those tiny little cases you get from Dell and HP. I'm am, however, more interested in power than upgradability, so if I get a big increase in power for my cash, I could conceivably go with a pre-built system.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
