Yeah, um...while driving? Guess you have to live in California.

Well, St. Irish-drink-beer day is over. Funny, an entire holiday devoted to drinking. (Well, I think slowly New Years, Christmas, and Tax day are all de-evolving to something similar- not that I'd know)~
So I'll be leaving this job soon - and I was thinking...is it *really* feasable to install and leave a Linux server here? Not really. Can I leave a M$ machine? Yeah. But that still has problems. It's a lose-lose situation right now. *sigh*
Well yet another Monday here in the server room of the company. Wow our CPU & case fans are loud.
At least its raining today (doesn't happen here often)~
I wish I could meta-moderate my weekend.
I just noticed my
I also notice that the message system is not really set up for a dialogue per se- I wonder how the

Be careful! Watch what you say! You can't even joke around about it, or the MAC zealots will threaten to get into their Jettas and come punch you in the face...hehehehe
Le Idiots~ Yeah, I have a MAC, several PCs etc...get over it already. Easily provked = weak.
hehhe

So I downloaded "Shaolin Soccer" from a P2P network last night...why? Two reasons: 1. I participate in discussions with people in Asia all the time, and that movie has been out there for ages... 2. It is already available for purchase online, even though it isn't out in theatres here in the U.S. YET~
I plan on buying the DVD, in fact I've already ordered it. So no, I don't feel badly for P2Ping it.
That's my thought for the day.
Not that anyone reads these

What a moring. Yeah, it's Friday.

Yeah, I know, nobody ever reads these

OK, so I'm driving to work this morning, and the host (it was talk radio, so it doesn't feel right to call him a DJ) starts asking for people to STOP sending him forwards- he cited a few examples- most of the forwards people were sending him were HOAXES. He went on to try and figure out why so many people send him this stuff, and his best guess was that people actually thought they were sending him (he being in the media) information that hadn't been 'picked up' yet by the media in general- ie they were informing society this great knowledge that they were missing-
Well, I got to thinking...first of all, I HATE forwards...I almost NEVER read ANY forward- and MANY of them come from people who think because it was on the net, or in type that it must be true (same people who believe that anything in print must be true)- So these people forward hoaxes all the time. (Hell, the hoaxes don't even have to be clever, and look how many people fall for it)- SO, as time goes on, TIME AFTER TIME people send hoaxes, and are told they are stupid or dumb for sending them, until EVENTUALLY, for the most part, people will stop sending things like this ALL TOGETHER- now, when we reach that point, I wonder, what will happen when there actually IS something that doesn't get picked up by the media (or worse, the media/government/etc try to supress something)- will people get mail about something of that nature and just dismiss it automatically? I wonder. I guess that's like wondering about which (if any) of the articles in the Enquirer are true in any given issue. I'll bet its safe to say even if an Enquirer article were true, it wouldn't really matter, or be taken seriously by 'main stream society'-
Ok, that was just my drive to work this morning.

So I was thinking this morning...about our good buddy Billy Gates. I wonder how often he lays in bed, staring at the walls, and thinks to himself, "I can buy anything I want. I am the richest man alive." ~ I'm sure it happens quite a bit. How can it not? And what are the effects of this type of thought process on a person? I wonder. You see, his conquest is no longer motivated by money. When you have as much money as he does, its no longer about the $$$- its about POWER. I know, some will argue money *is* power, but this is different. Billy has maxed his "power from money" status, and now its the raw stuff he needs. His next fix has to be pure, uncut power. What else motivates him?
So I was just metamoderating some comments- a few about stem cell research came up, as well as one about abortion and one about the whole anti-US/anti-war stuff. I was kind of disappointed. Probably because I like to think that the

So I started a live journal. Why? *shrug* because it's there I guess. Why do I post in my
At work today. Really tired of the "if it's broken, you should be able to fix it" line of thinking; especially when the problem is either A) THE HARDWARE IS TOO FREAKING OLD TO RUN YOUR NEW SOFTWARE B) YOUR CRAPPY SOFTWARE HAS BUGS, THAT IS LIFE. I DO NOT RE-WRITE SOFTWARE TO FIX BUGS FOR YOU
Ok, I feel better now. Don't you? I knew you would.
Ah Sunday night. Day two of deciding to keep a semi-regular
Ah, the new week hopefully brings good tidings of happy things, such as government completion of the whole hiring process... time will tell. Life starts soon I hope~ I can't take my IT job much longer. Again the guilt of loathing a job my friends covet...but what can I say? To thine own self be semi-honest (as far as the rat race is happening around us that is)~
Went to the Dojo today. Felt really badly, but sparring wasn't much~ nobody wants to spar with me anymore. I really didn't mean to hurt that guy, it *really* was kind of his fault. I know, that doesn't change things. (But he was acting pretty cocky)~

So I log back into my
Yes, I'm glad I worked as the Computer Systems Manager here while I finished college. Because now I know that my computer skills are simply a skill; a tool to be used to better perform elsewhere...definately not an end in and of themselves. Welcome to the real world.
