Journal Journal: Return of the dual screen LCD or CRT? 5

I've found it very difficult to modivate myself to do some heads down work. Maybe its the people that call in for support and the list of things that I have to do that are piling up. They arn't super high priority stuff though so I can't really take the time to get it off my plate but it bothers me knowing how much there is to do. Maybe its because my pregnant sister in law has been living with us the past 6 months. She gave birth yesterday and will be getting her ass up to alaska via plane n

Journal Journal: Bethesda you buggy bastards 2

Pirates of the caribean.

Bethesda, how on earth can you be making games for well over 10 years now and still write buggy software? WHY? What on earth can be holding you back? I first met you through daggerfall, the bugs were noticable but rarely caused me to restart my character (my friend had to once, but not me). I recently returned to your line of products with morrowind. A vast recreation of daggerfall with better graphics. The bugs seems even more noticeable now especially because

Journal Journal: servers in space.

I have come to a decision that we need to focus on moving our internet into outer space. The communication infrastrucure is flawed. First it was phoneline and coax, then its fiber. Next decade its... well its something different I can tell you that. Creating a wireless mesh is still too difficult because you can still have dead spots. No my friends, we need to move to space. Sattelite is innapropriatly slow because of so many round trips, but if we eliminate the middleman which is what I like

Journal Journal: Traffic Ticket

Speeding.
90 in a 70.
In california.

I can wipe it off with traffic school, but I'd like to get rid of it entirely in case I find yet another downhill slope with a cruiser waiting in the mist within the next 18 months.
I've heard extend it, preferably on a day the officer has off. I dont know how to find that out though. Sounds like the proccess is, if you show up to court, you can choose to pay it or protest it. And that they may reduce your fine without protesting it? Everyon

Journal Journal: I got a joke

Heard this one from a relative during easter.

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along for company. One day the dachshund started chasing butterflies and before long the dachshund discovered that he was lost. While wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dachshund thinks,

"Okay, I'm in deep trouble now!"

Music

Journal Journal: lyrics

Ever have a favorite song? A song that you just sat down and could listen to over and over forever? A song that makes you think about it even when its not playing at all.

Then you found out you booched some of the lyrics and have been getting the wrong message this whole time?

Our lady peace - 4Am

in my mind I sing:
If I don't make it know that
I've loved you all along.

It was funny when they did it on the radio. I guess it really is one of those pranks only women could pull off.

Journal Journal: call for help

So today is pc reformat day, I've been neglecting my desktop at home for a while now, been installing stuff without regard. When I looked to see what I should actually save I only found that my pictures and music were worth the space. Everything else is just junk. Amazing how unproductive I have been on this machine this past year.

Journal Journal: the cost of war? 1

I'm curious as to what is the cost of war. It sounds really expensive, people say its really expensive. Why does it cost soo much? The fuel? The bombs? The paychecks for the reserve? Are they just counting the full cost of the operation without regard for what is normal overhead? I mean we got planes, they need to be ridden like a horse or they go sour, ships dont store well in the fridge. We already have a glutten of jarheads taking paychecks to run them with or without an "ongoing liber

Journal Journal: new levels of pissed off I havn't felt before.

yesterday sucked.
worked 13 hours, got a speeding ticket for going 90 and I swear I never pushed 85, and even that was for 1/2 mile while going downhill. It was a 70 zone so hopefully I can just traffic school it off without any more crap. But I get home late, things are going well till I spill the beans about the ticket. Gah that made both our evenings, much more interesting, good thing I got home so late.

Journal Journal: words cannot describe my hate for the DMV. 2

Words cannot describe my hate for the DMV. But I can explain why I hate them so.
My wife and I had the unfortionate task of going to the DMV, Ammy (my wife) told me about this new number system at the local DMV center. So we went down early on a saturday morning, arriving at 7:00. You start with one line, tell the person what you want to do they make sure you have all your paper work ready and assign you a number. Then you wait the neccessary hours for your number to be called. They called
