It Finally Happened

27-Feb-06

The Great Cleaning, that is. I basically was going on for a month about how we needed to clean, so Lisa made a schedule and we kept to it to the best of our abilities. We created a lot of trash in the process too. BUT! The house is nicer looking. Generally we clean for [...]

Broke Down and…

26-Feb-06

1. Bought Duebox for my mp3 player. $25 2. Bought an Armrest. After discount, $28 3. Cargo Net. Free with discount For the first one, that was absolutely worth it. With how Dell had it, everything was run with Musicmatch. MM wouldn’t sync with the mp3 player properly unless I synced the whole library – [...]

Still Going With the Old

25-Feb-06

Rather than work on my site I’m working on our site. And you know, if more people used mozilla I’d have been done a while ago. But no, 85% of the market still uses that stupid IE. IE can’t read html properly. So, I’m trying to develop a workaround and not trying to consider scrapping [...]

Two hundredth twenty sixth post

21-Feb-06

I’m so annoyed. Well, mad at myself. Essentially I haven’t done anything comprak.net and it’s sitting there as the default. Grr indeed. The car itself is done but I refuse to take pictures until… I can post them there. Yes and that would require actually working on the site, right? And tomorrow it appears I’ll [...]

Um, No Thanks

Republicans to Chicago: “We’re looking for a city and we invite you to tell us why you think you’d be a good fit for us to host our Republican National Convention?” Chicago to Republicans: Umm, No? Is no good?

Decisions

15-Feb-06

I’ve decided I need to stop caring about work as much as I do and actually forget that I work there after my shift ends. I take the stupid thing waaaaay to seriously and I’m not doing important enough work to check my email from home. I think in my mind I’ve just gotten myself [...]

Car Show 2006

14-Feb-06

Generally I come back here with a litany of praises or complaints regarding every car company that I saw after the car show. This year will be just a little different, since this year’s car show didn’t differ much from last year. It was much more interactive this year, with games, demos, and other freebies [...]

Realizations of the Most Mundane Kind

11-Feb-06

This will be a meandering entry, do get yourself something to drink and a place to sit. So, I do say (and maintain) that the sun has been setting on this little journal, as in, I think everything goes in cycles – nothing is permanent, etc. I think there are a quite a few talented [...]

Here We Go!

09-Feb-06

Cue Offspring (re: crazy taxi). So, it’s day five and I’m still feeling blah – not nearly as badly as a few days ago, but I’m still feeling it nonetheless. I could use the whole week off, so that I don’t go back to work hacking, but I don’t have that option. Part of it [...]

Onto Day 4

07-Feb-06

Of being sick, that is. This is supremely tiring, being tired and sick. The saddest part of having five days off is I barely remember the last three days – today will be fleeting on account of the medication – and I hope tomorrow will be better but I *will* be in work on Thursday. [...]
