Well, I found my wallet. Yay.

Not much going on with me. Really, it seems for the past month I’ve gotten nothing significant accomplished… Hopefully, soon I can get to breaking out of my shell and accomplishing my goals

Crap, I can’t find my wallet! It had ~$80 in cash, my permit, and my credit card in it! I remember last having it at the Greenbrier mall on Friday. The last place I was before I left was at the McDonald’s, but I think I had some cash in my pocket that I paid with! before that I was playing DrumMania in the arcade… I can’t remember the last time I used my wallet. It may have been at the Dollar Tree, or when I bought tokens at the arcade. I gotta call those places and see if they lost a wallet. If I don’t find it soon, I’ll have to get a new permit, and cancel my credit card. The cash would be gone obviously.

I hate mondays! :(

Well, I finally managed to correctly overclock my AMD Athlon64 3000+ from 1.8GHz to 2.25GHz safely (well, as safe as can be)

Hmm, Looks like Opera is now available for free, sans ads. Usually, I see alot of freeware software (especially decent ones that I have found extremely useful) go shareware or totally payware. Good to finally see something completely opposite.

Still, it’s not as free as Firefox, which is free as in beer and speech.

Compliments are a great way to reinforce friendship with a person, or even to create a bond with them. Below are examples of great compliments you can give to a friend, random stranger, or that sexy bitch you want to shag in the back of your Geo Metro! (Taken from The Surrealist Compliment Generator)

• Convexion sees between your eyes. Herds of gazelle concave at your feet!
• Your Hands do the work of 10,000 highly trained lesbian jumping beans.
• Onerous congratulations on your conceptual development of obliteration concerning telephones, lobsters and fish!
• Cry for the stiffness of the earlobe. The turtles are fallen and the rain stands still. How long must I suffer with your undergarments?
• The quietness of a manhole cover cannot compare with the wild vapours of nylon I sense in your larynx.
• If you were a camel your humps would be esoterically bald from overuse.
• Your intelligence attains the grand summation of molecular motion at absolute zero.
• The expansion (and resultant rapid cooling) of your consecrated culotte sings the golden turnip with the mulatto touch-typist in my pants.
• The microfine network of eyes traversing your shoulders causes me to shudder in anticipation of the coming of the wondrous season of jaundiced eskimos and impotent Anglican priests.
• Many sausages have known things before you had time to react.
• Though I may never see you again, I wish you the warmest clam chowder, the finest of embalmings, and the best in stainless steel cadaver pans that money can buy.
• Your fingers staple pine nuts into everything you touch.

I feel like I’m in a creative stasis… I have so much unfinished crap, like this website, the WordPress theme on this blog… and so much other crap IRL that I seem to be unable to get around to. I don’t know why… Maybe it’s apathy, or work is just killing my mental ability to concentrate on these things. It just annoys me that I sit here and play around while others are doing work and actually getting things done. Maybe I’m just having a bad day, and the loneliness is starting to get to me. Bleh.

Well, I don’t really get it, but Technorati still refused to list my blog in my profile… even though I’ve pinged it and followed the instructions to add it a million times. I’ve had too many problems to bother with them, so they’re gone.

My mood:

By the way, that’s Jim Cramer, from CNBC’s Mad Money. The only reason why I like watching his show is because he walks around and yells for an hour. And if that’s not good TV, I don’t know what is.

Well, I might just do this CSS Reboot I keep hearing about.

CSS Reboot is a community event for web professionals. November 1st, 2005 at 12:00 GMT Rebooters from all over the world will launch their web standards-based redesigns simultaneously, bringing traffic, interest and a little respect to their sites. There are no prizes or arbitrary winners, just great exposure and the knowledge that we all participated in something great.

OK, so I’m not quite sure what I want to do yet. The current design of this blog is a Wordpress theme that I’d like to release sometime soon. If anyone has any ideas, they are welcome (please comment to this post). I have until November 1st, so I’m in no rush to get this started. Besides, I do have some parts of this site that are broken and unfinished.

Howdy, I know I haven’t been posting much lately. But there really hasn’t been much going on with me… and there hasn’t been anything tech-related that has fascinated me enough to rave about it.

I feel, however, that I must share this movie poster… which I think is one of the greatest movie posters of all time:

This poster copyright of its respective owner. They wouldn’t sue me for promoting the movie anyway.

Look at him! He’s such a happy little virgin! I haven’t seen this movie yet, but I absolutely must just because Steve Carell is a comic genius.

You know, just once I’d like ONE great thing to go the way I want it to…

Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day. “A special day, once a year, to acknowledge the worthiness and appreciation of the person occupying the role, especially as it is often this person who really keeps the wheels of your company turning.” So give that special sysadmin in your life a gift to show your appreciation. Whether it’s a free pizza, sports car, hug, or big wet kiss.

Soylent Pizza is made out of PEOPLE! (Yeah, it’s grainy, the only camera available at the time sucked)

Well… since I apparently can’t learn programming in college quite yet. I’m just going to try to teach myself. I think Python is a good OOP language to start with. I’m taking a look at this tutorial.

Yes, I’m ranting again…

Currently trying to do something with my fscked up life. What am I doing? It seems like all I do is get up, go to work, come home… deal with whatever bullshit is going on, mess around with tech stuff (which I don’t seem to have the time nor drive to get interested in), go to bed, and start the process all over. None of my friends ever want to come see me because I live too far away, and their gas apparently is more important that seeing me. Maybe that’s just their excuse because they don’t want to be around me. I’m getting tired of coming home from work everyday wondering what debt collector is after us, or what utility is cut off. I don’t understand our capitalist society… This whole country revolves around one thing. Money. If you don’t have it, they’ll say “fsck you” and cut your electric off or throw you out of your home without a thought on their conscience. People really sicken me. All of them. I’m thinking of going off into solitude for a while like Thoreau did, or something.
