Paid account fun. I decided to fork over the 25 bucks to have a paid account for a year. I’m such a good lj user.

Yeah I totally fell asleep in physics and just woke up for the quiz. heh. I gotta get more sleep on Tuesday nights. On a positive note my week is almost over. I love having classes Monday to Thursday. My emusic subscription ends today so last night I was leeching that site like crazy. I downloaded a couple gigs worth of mp3s. I wish I had a little more money because I would subscribe to that site with a yearly contract because they have a good selection of stuff and it seems like they get new music on a weekly/biweekly basis.

Sigh

Yeah so me and my amazing wisdom decided to switch from the wonderful but not exactly compatible KDE provided debian packages to the offical deb packages. In the process, i lost KMail. I’ve really come to love kmail. I also just realized I have no PIM software either. Die piggy piggy die die. I swear I like debian… right. I wish someone would get their crap together and finish putting together a complete KDE system. Its days like today that I want to switch to gentoo but I realize that as frustrated as I am now. It would only be compounded by the fact that I would have to wait for compiles in gentoo. Ok enough ranting from me. I actually had work to do like two hours ago when this whole ordeal started.

Notes to myself for when I have money and time to burn.

1.) Code native web server for Playstation 2 that boots from memory card or disc. Utilizing the Sony Network Adaptor. Do not use Sony’s PS2-linux. Expand upon the project to utilize my usb webcam and make the PS2 an overpriced cam server.
2.) Play with FPGA’s someday. See:

3.) have enough money and time to figure out how to do any of the stuff required in the GNU/Radio project since its ultra intriguing.http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/gnuradio.html
4.) Tinker with my old robot. Make a link cable for my PC so I can control it from my desktop instead of plugging in code directly.
5.) Finish constructing my old PC for playing all the DOS games and tools I never got to.
6.) Create a horde of evil robots to domin…. errr… nevermind me.

That is all. I will spare the world from my ridiculously nerdy side.

Yeah. Too much free time on my hands. I just finished off Metal Gear Solid 2. Took me a total of 30 hours to beat it. Snow pictures coming soon.

Snow

Yeah we got tons of snow. I’m gunna bust out my digital cam in a moment and go down stairs with it. No school today and also very little food. I prepared for the lack of food last night by ordering lots of domino’s. There is a 20 pc buffalo wings in my fridge. Ok outside i go.

Post Valentine’s Day post

Yeah, I like Valentines Day this year. I didn’t like it last year. I had a good day once work was over. At work I had to stamp return address on blank envelopes because work is to cheap to buy prestamped ones. I stamped about 1000 envelopes. After work Andrea and me went out to eat. We were going to go to the tomato factory but it was majorly packed so we went to on the border instead. Everytime we go out to eat together we always end up out at mexican. Andrea got me this stuffed bear that is dressed like me. Its funny because the bear has a red vest with a american flag on it and I was wearing a red golf shirt with an american flag yesterday. Totally unplanned. Then we went out to see Daredevil with some other people it was better than spiderman i think. More to come later.

Work

Let it be known that I hate mail merges. I hate using crappy equipment like a 15 year old printer that goes crazy when you cancel a job. Also, as a side note Staples brand address label suck big time. They are supposed to be cut to size like avery labels but they are not so nothing works right. I am Dan’s immense frustration. I watched some of fight club last night so yeah….

Yawn

Yeah, so i’ve been doing mindless website update crap for a while now. I’m kinda tired of it, so i played some UT after getting it reinstalled finally. I have this problem with it crashing on me though. I think the new nvidia drivers might suck. I dont know. Either way I figure its about time I update my lj.
I have put 4968.2 inches(i think) on my mouse since I loaded kodometer last.
Other wise in nonshallow news I am having a good week. Not depressive about anything. I am moderately motivated to do work. It shows since I am actually working on maxwell silver which I would otherwise ignore because I hate it. I just need to get paid. Thats over $500 waiting for me. Ok back to work

seth reminded me that new rome sucks.
