Book Binding

So, I’ve been think­ing of try­ing this out for a little while, I need a hobby that takes me away from the com­puter for a little bit. Linds had sug­ges­ted it once or twice in the past, and we’ve looked at web­sites about the pro­cess and pro­cesses. Today I dove in and gave it a try. I just used some cheap printer

I love my computer

I love this machine so much I want to throw it off of the bal­cony. Every once in a while it has been com­pletely lock­ing up on me. Of course it hasn’t been hap­pen­ing with any reli­ab­il­ity, so if I were to take it in to a tech shop they would return it with no trouble found more than

Day 2 of the new shift.

Buh, it’s going to be tough get­ting used to wak­ing up at 5 AM almost every day. My new sched­ule at work star­ted, I now am work­ing 7:00AM through 4:00PM instead of 9:00AM through 6:00PM. This means that in order to get to work on time, the latest I can leave in the morn­ing is 6:20, in real­ity

Happy Monkey!

Okay, so the folks at the Apple apple store were quite friendly, I signed in early just in case they could help me out before my actual appoint­ment and spent a good half an hour wan­der­ing around look­ing at all of the Mac toys. Lindsay was there hanging out with me so it wasn’t com­pletely bor­ing. My

Sad Monkey.

Boo000, I now get to exper­i­ence the dis­tinct pleas­ure of get­ting my iPod repaired. Clutzy me leaned over to pick up some­thing and the darned thing fell right out of my pocket! The screen is nicely shattered thanks to my care­less­ness. If I’m lucky the Apple per­son that I talk to will cover the thing under

So, what’s new?

Things change, though not always drastic­ally. The accu­mu­la­tion of small changes even­tu­ally develop into a major change though. I still work for a local Tech Support com­pany, as I have for a little over two years. When I first star­ted, my only com­puter know­ledge was some basics about Linux, minor troubleshoot­ing of Windows sys­tems, and what Mac OS looked like. Now,

This is a Test Post.

I recently down­loaded and installed the cur­rent Beta of Microsoft Office 2010. The upcom­ing offer­ing from Microsoft for all sorts of office needs. Apparently Word has blog integ­ra­tion, and that is where I’m typ­ing this post. I assume that when I click on the “Publish” but­ton, my post will auto­mat­ic­ally be sent to my Blog. That would

Plagiarist

Lindsay has been doing a lot of read­ing lately about pla­gi­ar­ism. It’s a ser­i­ous con­cern for artists I would ima­gine. Perhaps my views on soft­ware pir­acy relate here, people jus­tify soft­ware theft by say­ing that it’s just 1’s and 0’s on the Internet. Well a book is just ink stains on paper, should I be allowed to scan a best selling

Sooo bored.

And a little bit stressed about money. My cur­rent job either needs to provide a raise, or full time hours, or I need a new job. All of those options are dif­fi­cult to ask for. Difficult to talk about even. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had stress about money. I’m not used to it. It was so eazy

Ahhh!

I moved my com­puter into the liv­ing room today and attached it to the tele­vi­sion screen, I also dug up my wire­less key­board and mouse. I may have to do this more often.  I’m a little proud of my com­puter, it’s the first one that I built from scratch using all new and actu­ally decent parts. I’ve got an Antec
