>I’m still heartily enjoying BlogShares, currently experimenting to see how long it takes to detect a link to katerocks.com
>Well I have to do a plug for carpoint.msn.com as it was a wonderful resource in helping Rachel find a car. [geek] Update on my upgrade project. It turns out my Abit TH7-RAID motherboard is capable of a lot less then I previously thought. The system bus is 100/133mhz max. It allows you to overclock, going as high as 150mhz but that results in my other cards going *HLGZZZZ* and not working. So at a safe clock of 100mhz I upped the multiplier to 23. It runs at 23XXmhz, registers as a 2.4ghz and as far as benchmarking is concerned…
>I was listening to “System of a Down – Boom!” and they’ve got a point… A million dollars spent on each missle, billions on bombs and various other weapons that we’ve used in Iraq. What if that money (that we don’t really have anyhow) was spent on let’s say… feeding starving/homeless children? (no one can argue with feeding starving children) All that money (that we don’t actually have) would have done so much more, and so much more positively. Food for naught.
>I’m sick, teetering on bronchitis, SOL because I’ve got no insurance due to my lack of job. I’ve been holed up on the couch, Dayquil, movies, and TV are my current vices. Television Tidbits: “A straight hairstylist with all wicker furniture? I don’t think he’s telling you the whole truth.” 1oz of wheat grass = 2 & 1/2 lbs of green veggies “Holy Shi-ite muslim!”
>So still haven’t elaborated on the Thanksgiving tidbits — I’ll do that after this. I’ve been duped, someone has yet again weaseled their way into my life and decided to take advantage of my good nature. Posing as a friend, built upon an acquaintance… they waited, saw my guard down and slid their slimy fingers around a few valuables then slunk away. I’ve cut off any association, but there’s no solid proof… even though there’s only 1 possibility. If it’s not them, it’s an associate of theirs who was given more information then average. I’m gone for 4 hours, not…
>newegg.com – for all your computer, electronics, and software needs. It was one of the first in the mail-order world, now their amazon-like interface, and always low prices make them the only online retailer you need. I recently placed an order for a Socket 423 to 478 adapter from lynncomp.com and a P4 2.4ghz socket 478 (400mhz bus) from starmicro.net — I received the adapter 3 days later. I had only received an invoice from starmicro.net at that point, no description – just the ammount. After being unable to find a customer service number, I sent a request to sp@starmicro.net…
>Dream Selling Me Quarters
>I fell asleep last night on the couch with the TV on. I had quite an interesting dream too: I have forgotten the details, but throughout the dream this guy kept trying to sell me quarters. I’d be walking around talking to people in an unrelated dream… then this guy would pop in and talk about his quarters… you could buy them, for only 25 cents each! If you got enough of them, you could get a gold one included FREE! “How do we do this??! VOLUME!” I’d say “No — I don’t want to buy any quarters…” move on……
>I had to work on Tuesday, but nothing much after that. I hung around the house and played Need For Speed: Underground incessantly. I unlocked everything up to level 3 — and godDAMN it’s fast. It’s all city courses, traffic, shortcuts… amazing… buy it, buy it! Thanksgiving was nice — headed up to VT early. It took me about 2 hours to do the 3 & 1/2 hour drive. I found my aunt’s house after a bit of driving around, but for the most part without issue. My Mom had come up with her “companion” I think this might have…
>Wow… what an interesting day. I spent all day thinking about what happened yesterday: I hung out all day, was aching for Need For Speed: Underground. I wasn’t about to pay $50 for it, however. I still had a few of my worst (all that was left) XBox games. I decided I’d go to Funco Land. I thought about it for a moment, a tad hesitant because last time I went I saw a past friend: Andy Stevens. I had a falling out with my group of friends in Ware about 2 years ago, shortly after moving out to Springfield.…
>Well — I’ve been a busy little bee this evening. I spent the first half doing work, then figured I’d work on my own site since it was still early. I added new rocks to Katerocks.com, they’ve got detail photos and they’re both shopping cart ready. So adopt a little one, think Xmas! I had to do something about the skewed and skewered bubbles — no filters on this machine, so had to make do with what I’ve got… *cough* need photoshop filters for Mac *cough* please… *cough* but was able to do pretty close to what I had pictured…
>I went to court today to fight a speeding ticket. My argument was that I was going 57 in a 55, or what I thought to be a 55mph area due to the lack of signage. He reduced it, but since the officer marked it as a “marked” area on the ticket/report, they weren’t just going to give it to me. I then appealed for a $20 fee, and shall return on the 16th of Dec. Possibly he may not show up, but in case he does I took pictures when I got out and had them developed. I took…
>Tonight was Paul’s party: Computers, projection screen with movies XBoxen, SNES, Sega Genesis on 6 TVs Good pumping industrial, black lights, and glow items of many a kind. It was a very fun time, no drinking — but that didn’t stop everyone from partying down =] I was there right till the end, about 12:30 or so… I called Stefan to see what he was up to — sure enough: party! The usual bunch was there, with a special appearance by a band from WNEC. With sort of a Funky sound, they had 2 guys on keyboards, and their own…
>”I’m a roofer… I roof! Do you see me roofing? I roof! I’m a roofer!” So maybe I’m not, but I did it and I’m glad. I helped my Dad and learned a little. I also got a whole bunch of nostalgic stuff from the basement. A skateboard, banana, 70’s style, blue with rollerskate wheels. My dinosaur, have to give that to my kid someday. A copper turtle covered in coral from my fish tank. My Mustang RC Car. Brio train set, Fisher Price Schoolhouse and Barn (also for the kid). A card from the second time I got out…
