Off to Sleep

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

Uneventful day, didn’t really do much. =(

If you are in the perma party you need to read this.

New cell phone tomorrow!!

Cool Phone Stuff

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

I pointed this out to Erik yesterday, turns out that the differences between the phone Erik, Nick, and I are purchasing and the 300 dollar model are actually pretty negliable. I was reading up on howardforums that you can simply transfer software to the phone to make either the v300 or v400 work as the much more expensive v600. Happy times. Man doom3 in one week and a day, I can’t wait. :D
Hopefully we will get to ffxi permaparty soon. Back to work for now.

Nothing interesting here, move along.

Nothing cool today, just cleaned the office a little bit. Was looking forward to some perma-party action but it got post poned.

I updated my ffxi gallery, so go look at that to keep yourself occupied.

Mom Stuff

Sunday, July 25th, 2004

I am going to summarize the mom meeting so I do not have to tell the story ten times. The whole thing was pretty civil with me just sitting there munching on my dinner most of the time. At the end of the meeting she started to rag on me and how “bad” I am, but honestly it wasn’t so bad. She wants me to get some direction in life and she pointed out that at my age she was already married to my dad. My mind is on the future but at the same time I am not in a hurry to grow up either.

Seems like everyone is about to graduate, and I am happy for them! The fellow associates in my age group working full time at wal mart already all seem to have kids or are married, yikes. Perhaps I missed something on the train of life eh?

Time to eat my lunch and then more slaving.

Quakecon

Saturday, July 24th, 2004

Oh man, quakecon is coming. So is doom3 and half life 2. Looks like the summer is going to finish out nice and strong in the gaming department.

I had a day off yesterday and it was incredibly boring. The day consisted of me waking up early and then taking a nap early in the afternoon. Finished the day off with a trip to wal-mart with the lights flickering and then going to sleep, ugh so boring.

I updated my final fantasy xi gallery so you may want to check it out.

Tme for more wal mart work, so be sure to enjoy the last bit of your summer.

AMD64

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

Yay, new comp for me. I ordered the parts for my new computer and I have just finished getting 64 bit linux somewhat squared away. Things load a lot faster and the compile really hauled, but the experience isn’t that much different really. I look forward to slapping an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro in this thing and see it really haul down the road. System has been super stable as well and I didn’t hit any snags, hooray.

I downloaded the beta of xp 64 bit edition but haven’t bothered to install it yet, I will let people know if it is worth their time or not.

Comp Specs

Asus K8v SE Deluxe
Athlon 64 3200+
512MB Corsair PC2700 running at 400 mhz :D Geforce 4 TI4200
120gb wd ata 133 hd

Things on the comp upgrade list are…..

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Dual Layer DVD Burner
Ram
Monitor

Video card will be happening before doom3 but the rest won’t be anytime soon.

Other than the comp upgrade life hasn’t really been that interesting lately, just slaving away at wal-mart. Time to keep installing stuff…

Uhmn..
