>Finally! It’s done for the most part.Check it out: Teagno Construction Inc.It was a weird day today. I got up early, played some pointless GTA: San Andreas to get my brain moving. I say pointless cause I’ve already beat it. I’m now trying to collect all the cars, pick up any secrets I missed, and have fun with it. There’s still a bunch to do even after beating it. I had a lot of fun doing it.Here are some of my favorite moments I’ve uploaded the screenshots to fotopages. =) The power went out today. I thought I blew a…

>Anyone want to plan a road trip? It’s expensive for tickets, but I think it would be a delightful romp, and an exquisite night out for all. Stars John Lithgow. I was hoping it would be written by Steve Martin, but it doesn’t say.

>Daily Dose (maybe Monthly?) of Tech.

>Worried about your data, doing something sneaky? Try this anonomizing client.Check out the 2600 Podcast @ iTunes, probably available without, but much easier with iTunes. And gMail doesn’t indicate your IP, but they can search your email. Google’s WiFi VPN Client – They’re buying up fiber all over, wireless access points, and apparently a large part of a major building in New York.“…with elevators capable of taking an 18 wheeler up to the 20th floor”

>new stuff

> theres updated links it ought 2 b easy to keep it all up to date, will soon integrate but too much real world stuff to do right nowand only 1 hand to do it withno break from work either, too much stuff this weekand it sucked today due to the elbow, aside from getting start to work info for a new employee: J.OreficeI know what you’re thinking… it’s pronounced: `Or If Aceuh huh.

>I didn’t go to work today.I woke up this morning with a very sore elbow, so sore in fact, that I couldn’t even move it. I attempted to get in the shower and was overcome with pain. A wave of nausia hit me and I was laying on the floor, cradling my right arm and wondering what the hell was going on. I went back to bed to lay down after having a few advil. It gradually eased the pain, but the giant golf ball on my elbow failed to go away.The boss is off in Minnesota this week so…

>does anyone remember me talking about how I’ve been making links for a good 2 months now, but haven’t found a good way to post them? Well here’s my solutionI’ll integrate it into the site sometime in the future, but for now I’ve made it as easy as possible. I update one generic XML file (or give it an rss feed) to pull from, and it will display it on my site, updated as soon as the file is newer then the existing source. No HTML to update, only one tiny file to modify and upload.I love this shit. Take…

>Oh my goodness, do I have a yummy batch of links for you!One of them can be particularly nasty, but it appears the toolbar installation doesn’t work correctly on American IE so you may be ok — I can not send you there in good confidence without saying you should only use FireFox to visit Abondonware.the-frenchkiss.biz. (login required, but no email confirmation)It’s all the games you remember – from ManXX Superbike, Sega Rally, Mech Warrior Mercenaries, Destruction Derby, and… of course, my favorite, that I thought i lost forever… PHANTASMAGORIA! 7 CDs and it has the complete ISOs. I’m going…

>Man has it been crazy. I’ve been doing consulting like every other night. I’m still at a loss as to what to do. I can charge for all my hours, I feel bad that I’ve been unable to crack their network configuration yet. The company I’m doing this for has an odd set up – ISDN router => Wireless Router => switch => remaining office computers and Win2k3 server. We’re trying to set up VPN, and the signal isn’t getting through the wireless router. It’s not even fowarding through the ISDN router either. Two major holes in being able to…

>Insight Test Drive — Money Woe

> I took a Honda Insight for a test drive yesterday.I was impressed. It drives really well, accelerates rather quickly, and held the onramp quite nicely. I had heard some really bad things about it, the small engine, maintainence… but I’d recommend it. It’s only got two seats. That’s a big drawback. I couldn’t replace the stereo without voiding the warranty. That’s a HUGE drawback. I wouldn’t be happy with audio CDs only, that just doesn’t cut it for me. I’m spoiled with my 7 speaker MP3 playing stereo. It accelerated good enough, it just didn’t want to go above…

>Has anyone heard of Chavs? Apparently Burberry is the new black… it looks as though they’ve mixed “HipHop”-style with “White” which I think Burberry is the epitome of. Fashion designers are shying away from it, upscale stores are no longer selling it as older people now have an aversion to it with the surge of youth donning the fashionable pattern. Also, apparently they’re at war with the Goths.

>Ooodles of fun

> Wow, I just got back from WCCC here in Hartford.I was on the radio last night winning tickets. I had to sing U2 — I was the first, and only caller they needed =)“You know, I don’t think we need any more callers — this guy’s a star!”They told me what I’d won — tickets to Six Flags to see Monsters of Moc, a festival of sorts, all Metal cover bands. Metallica, U2, and some other ones. =]Not a huge deal, but considering Six Flags costs like $40 now a days, it’s a cool thang. I was really surprised…

>Weekend’s over, time to go back to the grind. I’ve got some professional invoices now, finally got Quicken going.I bought it last year to keep track of all the contractor jobs I was doing in order to make it easy for taxes. It didn’t end up that way, I still walked in there with a shoebox full of receipts and walked out with a $550 bill. Granted, I got $1200 total — not bad for being on unemployment, but I want to make sure everything’s in order for this year, in addition to just knowing what I’ve got. I’ve started…

>Lurkers

> I know there’s people out there who read this, I’ve seen the traffic logs.I’d like to hear from some of you. Add a comment, even anonymous.Where’d you hear about this site, and what state/country are you from? or just tell me to shut up… really, it’s interactive — boogie woogie woogie!

>CorkSport

> Wow. I’m not so sure about CorkSport anymore. I loved them, and they really did move on it to get things out to me on time so that when I got back everything was ready. Money makes it all possible. Unforunately I noticed an additional $275 on my Discover Card. I called today to find out what happened, did they charge me for the new routers thinking they’d credit me when they got the incorrect rotors back? Turns out no. $150 for shipping, plus an additional difference in price on the pads. I did say overnight them, do whatever…

>Grrr… So as of 2007 we’re changing daylight savings time. I knew they were thinking about it, but they just passed the bill.Canada is all up in arms because in order to be as least confusing as possible (flight/train times, etc), they’ve got to go along with it… and for them that means kids going to school in the dark and they’ve got some other complaints too. I just don’t think it’s really going to save anything. How about conserving some money so we don’t have to go and change our daylight savings. I know I am objecting to change…

>Got Google Earth yet? Get it, then check out these links from my vacation (Google Earth format). Green River Reservoir State Park – VT Our Campsite – #24 Smugglers Notch and Brigham Falls The gray areas are where they took the satellite data in the winter (less cloud cover) but they’ve pieced together all available info so it’s a patchwork of sorts. MA did all their own, so it’s really detailed (down to 3 meters!) VT is not so… but if you turn up the antriscopic filtering it’ll at least blur it where it gets pixelated.

>I bought GTA: San Andreas for PC today.I heard about all the hubub regarding the Hot Coffee patch and then about week later they’re recalling the game, stamping an AO label on it, and everyone’s pulling it from the shelves. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get an original copy so I went out and snatched it up from EBGAMES, who by the way, still sells it only with proof of age (21) and valid driver’s licence.(So if it’s suspended… tough luck?) How many other games do you know of that only require a minor mod to unlock…

>New Additions

>I’ve created a link between iTunes and iBlog to generate anRSS Feed of the Top 100 Songs on iTunes in only the genres I specify.(Rock, Pop, German Pop, Electronic, Dance, and more) I’ll be adding NetFlix integration soon, so I’ll be able to post info on a rental, or upcoming movie and you can add it right to your queue from here. (I’m trying to make up for the lack of content lately)

>Batman Returns

>I saw Batman Returns last night… in iMAX.I never want to see a movie any other way again. I’d seen Polar Express in 3D last year. It was great, but didn’t really have anything to compare it to.With this, it was just huge. It didn’t seem all that large to begin with, but it wraps around a bit so it takes up more of your peripheral vision. That seems to be the trick. At first it took some getting used to, especially durring the fast action but by about 15 minutes in my eyes got established. I was immersed in…

>I hope you haven’t heard of this yet, because when you’re ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the screen I’d like to think it’s me you’ll thank for it (OK — Chris is really the one that showed it to me) but I’m the one posting the link! It’s Google Earth and it’s going to revolutionize… well, damn near everything — check it out. (there are a whole ton of links sitting on the work laptop, but command line FTP doesn’t go passive, and doesn’t work so hot behind my firewall… maybe tomorrow night, I’m currently in NY)
