note to self i miss you terribly this is what we call a tragedy come back to me back to me to meee
anyway, this is mostly a note to myself to be in the office at 10am tomorrow, because i can’t find a writing utensil. Well I guess I can say what I’m doing, I have a meeting with Said tomorrow and Kevin, said used to be the CEO of our company but now he’s the VP of our division since we got bought out, and Kevin is manager of Development (and QA). I’m not sure what it’s about, except getting a full time position…which would be good. Also, I find it interesting that they’re meeting with me, but not John (QA Manager). Perhaps they’re considering hiring me for development? Which would be good, I’m sure. Or maybe it’s just that John doesn’t need to meet with me since I’ve worked with him for so long, and I’ll still be a part of QA. That’s also good, I like what I do. Anyway, gotta go to class now, we’re watching Forbidden Planet, I’m excited.

So if you tried to visit my site for the past few days you noticed it was…different. Mostly that it was gone, mostly. But I got my new power supply in today, and it’s running great now. Also, if I may lapse into dorkspeak, this is the nicest power supply I’ve ever seen. A ton of power leads, all very long, PCI-Express support, SATA cables, 2 fans, totally silent…I kinda wanted to put it in my good computer and give the server the old one….but didn’t want to go through the hassle. If I run your website, don’t worry, all your data is intact.
Thanks to sam and reed for giving me $25 to help out with the expense.
Also, my only class for friday is cancelled….so it is easy street for me until 9am monday. Ha!

I got back yesterday from a week in ringgold. pretty uneventful. I don’t think I’ve ever been to America’s Thrift Store at the beginning of summer…oh the selection of t-shirts was beyond awesome. I ended up buying 15…there were soooo many that were just one size too small or too large, but oh well. actually, I got one that didn’t have a size, but ended up being 10-12 (I wear 14-16 or adult small), and the shirt is totally awesome, it is george of the jungle. so now i have 2 small shirts I need to find somebody to give to. my favorites are “foggy hollow bluegrass gatherin’” and this other one that’s blank on the front but the back has this like ghetto mural and at the bottom it says “latino pride.”
I went to best buy and picked up another half gig of kingston pc3200 for $39.99 after rebate. sent off the rebate, so as soon as I take this machine down it sure will perform better, and I’ll get $32 in the mail. I was lucky, I didn’t go until like wednesday or thursday, but somebody returned this one so I was able to snag it.
I paid my school bill but now I realize I only had 9 hours then, but now I’m signed up for my 10, so they’re gonna charge me more. yes $141 more…and of course the link to pay is disappeared at the moment. but it’s due by friday so i still have some time.
I went over this summer’s schedule more carefully and it’s even better than I thought. Monday and Wednesday I have to be in class at 9, and then that ends at 11:45. Then from Noon to 1:50 on Mon & Wed & Friday I have economics. So I get to sleep in on friday. The best part is, and I didn’t realize this, BOTH of my classes are short session, so they end a month early. The last month of school all I’ll have to do is program when the professor wants me to, and go apartment hunting and stuff. Talk about awesome. I am excited.
I wish I could post pictures of those awesome shirts I got. oh well.

iSync is awesome, and Symbian phones are awesome, but something always bugged me about syncing my N-Gage QD to my mac- the stupid icon is still for the old N-Gage. So I fixed it. You can download this image and place it in the /Applications/iSync. app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit. syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync. phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/ directory (I inserted spaces so it wouldn’t be so long on one line, there’s actually not any spaces).
Start iSync and enjoy the loss of that eyesore.

“remember, this gun is pointed straight at your heart”
“that is my least vulnerable spot”
Seriously, Casablanca is the best movie ever made. It is an old, sad, worn-out cliché, but they really don’t make ‘em like they used to. If you’ve never seen it, seriously, watch it at your earliest possible convenience. I think you’ll be surprised at how many catch phrases came from this movie. Even if you don’t think you like black and white movies, just watch it…do it for me. I wish I could express myself better…or explain why it is so awesome. But I cannot. Also Humphrey Bogart is totally sweet…as soon as i saw him i kicked my dog in the face and he seriously evaporated. Also, Ingrid Bergman was a total babe. Also, here’s a gun pointed straight at a heart:
Also, on a completely unrelated note, they decided not to drop a letter grade for attendance, so I did in fact only make a C. Oh well, it’s still fine with me.

I failed physics 2 3 times, and now I have made a B. Wow. I am so amazed. Sadly, I didn’t attend class enough (attendance was required), so they dropped it to a C. but still….wow. so of course I made a C or higher in all my other classes, so now all that’s stopping me from graduation is reading some science fiction, taking a couple tests about supply vs. demand, and work on some php code. soooo happy

so my hair was in dire dire need of cutting and coloring, and larissa was kind enough to volunteer to come do it. I was pretty nervous about the cutting part, because my hair is long of course and she’s not like…a professional hair stylist or whatever. however, it actually came out looking really good, at least as good as the salon, if not better. i was gonna give her gas money for driving down here, but I didn’t have any cash so I made her let me buy dinner to say thanks. got to el amigo (mexican 3 nights in a row what?) and sat down, and like immediately this chick at a table across the aisle is all like “oh I love your haircut!” i thought it was soooo funny. apparently she’s in cosmetology school or whatever so she was talking to larissa about it. anyway I thought it was cool, I guess i didn’t have anything to worry about.
my phone is b0rked, and t-mobile wouldn’t replace it, so I am phoneless for the time being. of course i’m going to ringgold tomorrow or sunday for a week so I don’t guess anybody’d need to get in touch with me…but if you read this and were going to call me and it goes straight to voicemail…that’s why. i dug up my old cordless phone and plugged it in, so I have a home phone now, but yeah it’s dumb.
