>I want to create a web site for computer systems. I can go to the shows, get pricing, get some suppliers — it’s just a question of showing everyone that I know exactly what I’m doing when it comes to making them. I’ve been building and repairing PCs for at least 7 years now, I know the right hardware to use for what you want to do, be it games, video editing, DVD ripping, burning, music, midi… I love doing it too, it’s just so pleasing to take a pile of parts and turn it into a working machine. I…
>I called the guy who I bought the car from this morning. I tried a few other things, the first cylander is firing — that’s as far as I got. It doesn’t appear to be getting fuel – I tried the “gas pressure valve” and all I got was air, no moisture. We didn’t have a ratchet that was long enough for a spark plug, so I couldn’t actually look at those, but I rigged up a screw driver to the spark plug to determine if it was firing ok. I got a spark, so it’s ok up to the…
>It was great on the ride home, but I went to start it up this morning and nothing. I gave up on work to try and get things squared away with the car. I got myself a AAA membership, 10 days until I can take advantage of it. I’m going to try and get someone to look at it ahead of time but unless I can wheel it down the street I’m going to have to pay for the towing.
>I woke up early and went sledding with the kids. We went to the local hill, it was pretty good — I was glad I brought up my snowtube, I look forward to using it at home, this was really the trial run of my first snowtube and I don’t think I’ll ever go back 😉 After sledding was bad news – the whole engine was gone on the tracer, it was probably going to be about $1000. We went to the garage just to straighten out the labor, disposal, etc. He actually had a few cars for sale, quoted…
>Christmas was good, most of the family was together – had a chance to play with the nieces and nephews. I didn’t get anything too exciting, your basic family gifts. I got all handmade stuff from the young-uns, candles, chocolate, ornaments… I went to leave in the afternoon, I started my car, had everything packed and was just letting it warm up a little when the engine quit. That was the last time it would start. We tried the little things, but I ended up having to get it towed to the local garage. I accepted I was staying, sent…
>Blogger hasn’t been working well, Mozilla made it all trip out and swallow some posts. I have reverted to using IE and things seem to be going well, I added links from the past couple days – manual for now as it’s kind of a rush job here =] I’m on my way up to VT shortly for XMas. My car is getting up there on eBay. I hope it sells, it’ll make things easier… and it’ll feel good to have it go to a good home. I really want someone to buy it who can appreciate all the little…
>ack!~ …mozilla, compatibility with blogger… fading… [added post – date, hap-hazardly ] Now we’re talkin: home delivery. Buy your very own tumbleweed on eBay! run run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me — I’m a non-centrally located file-sharing service. Surprise! Some school books have in-accurate data!
>Ok, I needent have worried – I went to Toys R Us and had my neices and nephews all set in no time. I got a tad hung up on the matchbox car stuff though. The playsets are so much cheaper then they were back in my day. A small set: $5, a large one: $12. The same gararge and car wash used to be $30+. It made the decision even easier, even allowing me to get them a pack of extra cars. For my neices: a lithography camera (4 camera lenses – takes a picture a split seccond after…
>Christmas shopping… cleaning… people… all on my mind. I am running out of time to do what I want to do, realized I had less shopping done then I thought. The kids are the hardest to shop for. I want to get some great thing that’ll make their eyes light up xmas morning. I want to get them something that I wanted when I was that age… matchbox car stuff at the top of the list for the boys, books and art supplies for the girls? .:sigh:. That’s not fun!I feel stressed, why? I guess because everyone does. They worry…

>Here is a link to a cool thing. [02:40am] Is Richard Prior dead? [Update 8/8/2013] I went looking for this little utility. It still works in Windows 8! That’s some solid coding right there, and it’s only written in VB6.
>Here’s a sure-fire way to sound stupid trying to cut down anti-war arguments during the holiday. Things I’ve learned in PA: You’re never too old for a hangover… Don’t eat the eggs, and staying away from the water probably wouldn’t hurt either. If you want to seduce someone, read them a bedtime story every day for a week — you’re in. There is a direct correlation between how crazy someone is, and the quality of the sex. If everyone’s shitfaced… you’re not all that drunk. Believe your fortune cookie. Friend’s don’t let friends knock on door # mediocre. The man…
>Monday night was a very nice day out with Nicole. There’s no place with more Xmas spirit then the mall. 😉 I find it interesting the renditions of classic xmas tunes that crop up every year. Everyone wants to elaborate on the timing and harmony, but it’s usually horribly awful and only playing because it’s “new xmas music”. I picked up a few things for people, then went to my Mom’s to drop off some presents. She offered to wrap them, I won’t argue. Besides — it keeps them in a central location so I can’t possibly forget to bring…
>After an exhausting weekend of preparing for sledding, napping, and partying… I am at work, with nothing on the agenda for tomorrow. I’ve got a business trip coming up on Tuesday, I get to go out to Wilksbarre PA again. I had a good time last time I went out, there’s not much to do, but I’ll be happy if I get to the mall to get some Xmas shopping done. I’ve done the majority of my purchases online thus far. It’s much easier as I can be home when I’m shopping =] I plan on playing video games this…

>SUS! SUS! Graaaaaa! Sometimes you just want to reach out and grab someone with a giant claw, bashing them to the ground repeatedly before sucking them into your robot chest, grinding them up, and spewing out pieces of their body… or maybe that’s just me. Too much Mortal Kombat? Nah, too much chatter from the dumb mouth. *pop* This picture makes me happy. It’s from The Week In Pictures feature on MSN. Whitney Houston: “I don’t like to think of myself addicted. I like to think … I had a bad habit … which can be broken.”
>This was actually something that I wanted to write quite some time ago, but kept forgetting: Guys — if you run into a lady friend that you know in Victoria Secret… don’t say “hi”. That is unless you’re buying underwear for a really hot model and you want to make her jealous. thedarkside.com/switch The cars of James Bond. Brittish release USAF report of UFO sighting from 1980.

>Scott moved out yesterday, I helped with the few heavy things. We took the shortcut through my room… otherwise it would have been down 2 flights up stairs, and up 3 more… which is what he’ll be doing when he comes over. We’re attached through the basement, and he’ll still be hanging out on our side most of the time. It’s interesting, and good to have friends in such abundance and close proximity. The dorms open back up today, people coming home from vacation… Thanksgiving seems to be an interesting college fun-fest. People go home for the holiday, hook up…
