Daf's Journal - Apply directly to the foreheadDaf's Journal - Apply directly to the forehead - LiveJournal.comOn rituals- May 27, 2008 Well, I think I managed to save some smal semblance of cookoutery on my way home yesterday. I nearly managed without having to do any work, but at the last minute had to drive down to Orange to fix a terminal at a customer site. But on the way home, I bought hamburger and buns, rum, mint, and the most expensive limes I've ever seen. ($.50 each!! Jesus!)But burgers were made and then every so slightly undercooked. And MOJITOS!I do so love mojitos. I would be...http://daf666.livejournal.com/248672.html Wee, Bowling!- May 26, 2008 Second time we've gone since getting the new balls, and it seems like we're up to speed already.Andre's bowling really well, and managed a 147 today. Nice!I rolled a 152, 188, and 174. I've gotten used to the new ball, and though it's not as highly reactive as I'd like I can put it into the pocket nicely on ocassion. I managed a 5-bagger in the second game.Mmmmmm... bowling.http://daf666.livejournal.com/248452.html Technicide- May 25, 2008 I'm guilty.I think I may have killed my image server today. It's a MicroITX based small PC with a 250GB 3.5" drive shoehorned into the case. I use it for work; it hosts Drive Image image files for all the major terminal typesOS installations. It saves me hours of toil reinstalling OS's and drivers and whatnot wheile I'm on the job.I was finishing up my last call tonight and I still had the server powered on. Since I needed my keyboard for a different terminal, I grabbed..http://daf666.livejournal.com/248309.html Blah.- May 23, 2008 I love my Xbox 360. I'm so glad I got it. Really.See, because, otherwise, I'd have nothing to do with all the spare time not having a life gives me. (This is not a whiny, angsty post begging for attention. I'm just telling it as I see it.) Anyhow, Bioshock has absorbed many hours of time time, and it's soooooo friggin sweet. I love this song, BTW.We went bowling again! Man, it's been too freaking long. Andre, Heather and I hit the lanes last...http://daf666.livejournal.com/247912.html On fiscal responsibility- May 9, 2008 I think I'm addicted to spending money. It's as though I can't help but give my money away to people once I get a little bit of it. For instance, I recently debated for about 15 minutes on how much money I would spend on some replacement vacuum cleaner bags. I swear, it's true. I finally decided on the kind that help filter dust and crap like that.But that's not the end of it. I said I would do it, and once I got my large disbursement (see earlier posts) I went and.http://daf666.livejournal.com/247654.html More good news- May 6, 2008 Incredible!I just discovered today that my PTO balance stands at 148 hours. (Yes, I've accrued more than 3.5 weeks of paid time off and not used much.) I don't go anywhere, I don't do anything, and it shows.On top of that, I still have one floating holiday left. We're all getting all of our PTO paid out to us in a single check along with our last days with Innuity.Hmm. My remedial math skills (I stopped taking math around differential equations, one semester past calc...http://daf666.livejournal.com/247512.html Good news- May 2, 2008 No way!Well, my company held a large meeting today (I was attending through a conference number) to finally annouce who the hell is buying us. While I was skeptical at first, there are a ton of reasons why this is a good thing.First of all, we got purchased by the company that owns the software we support and also manufactures a lot of the hardware we support. They are a major player in the POS industry, and they own us now. The last owners had nothing to do with the POS...http://daf666.livejournal.com/247185.html On TV...- May 1, 2008 Okay, so I recently stumbled into torrents for every single MST3K ever made (Except for the first three KTMA episodes) and have been downloading like a greedy whore. So far, I've got the first 27 DVD's.. Well past the point where I stopped watching. I'll try to be fair and give Mike Nelson a chance. Since Joel left the show to keep the show from ending, it seems only fair to Joel to give it a chance. (I can't promise much once Trace leaves, though)I've also been...http://daf666.livejournal.com/246835.html (Untitled)- May 1, 2008 Obama calls Hillary and McSame wayyyyyy outBut manages to do it with class.In other news, tomorrow we get to find out who our new overlords are. (Whoever they are, I hope they're somebody that gives raises.)http://daf666.livejournal.com/246567.html |
