Its pretty much setup now. Lights are on, sump is running and doing its thing, and so we’re just waiting for the water to ‘age’ properly and stabilize with the right chemical makeup and salinity. Read more
So occasionally, I find myself embroiled in some whacked out, attitude driven political discussion at work. This is usually the result of an email thread someone, somewhere sends that ignotes the fires underneath me, forcing me to respond. Read more
Remind me not to install anything that has a release date of ‘Today’ ever. Again. Read more
Once again, I’m redesigning the desktop graphics/samurize stuff to fit my new configuration. Read more
So one of the reasons I’ve been so lax in posting is that my schedule switched over and I’ve not adjusted well.

So, with a tiny little bit of financial windfall love coming from ye olde employer, I treated myself to a new monitor.

So I’ve been in this job now for nearly 7 months. Almost 8 now, in fact. I think i’m now fairly accustomed to the rigors of the job, what it entails, and where my ‘talents’, such as they are, come into the most use.

After nearly 3 months of effort, I finally got my epic mount in World of Warcraft. Not sure if any of the images are small enough to throw inline, so I’ll just link to the Gallery album. Phew.
Testosterrific!
This movie lived up to expectations.
No spoilers here for those of you who want to see it. I will say that it is violent, bloody, machinegun firin’, chainsaw wieldin’, cliche ridden, adrenalin filled fun. A few nice little id/gamer jokes and you have a complete package. If you don’t like any of the above things? Don’t bother.
All in all, a fun time.

I can’t possibly not share this. Read more
So the very first game the guy gets in for the season opener and he ends up getting a puck in the face. Injured list for 4-6 weeks. You know, I should buy the $30 face shield and send it to him myself. Crapola. I was hoping for some solid performance from this guy right out the gate. Ah well, I picked up Marc Chouinard for the interim. We’ll see if he can continue his opening game trend.
So with the ordering of digital cable, and the eventual addition of NHL Center Ice, we have to move the entertainment center out of the way so the guy can come in and “install” the digital cable box. Read more
Root canal this morning, bright and early. Need to get back in a week or so for the crown work.
So after receiving the part mentioned a couple posts below, I ended up trying to put it in, and failing miserably. The distance of the holes from each other was just slightly too wide for the motherboard mounts. In frustration, I finally just called Asus. They indicated that they would send me a new one (of a different, more robust variety) for no charge. All I had to do was call their RMA department on Monday morning. So, I did so, yesterday morning when I got home from work, and they are sending one out to me.
The only additional comment they made was that, instead of mounting ‘straight’ on the chip, this one had its mounts on the corners of the fan, and, as such, would be turned 45 degrees when mounted. Frankly, I don’t care if its standing on its head if it keeps the damn thing cool. Well, ok, and its 15mm or less in height. So I do care. So vaht … big deeeel.
Yay. After a year’s worth of listening to players, coaches, league administrators and player’s union representatives bicker over how many fucking billions of dollars they’re all going to make, we, the fans, actually get to watch some hockey again. Read more
