It is finished!

My part of the move is done. I got all my stuff out of my old apartment and into the new one. Now I just need to clean up the old place, return my keys, and help my brother/roommate move in...

Edit: the clean-up is now done.  Not as cleaned as I would want it, but I did my best.  I even bought extra light bulbs to replace the ones that burnt out (when they first burnt out, I replaced them with CFL’s, and I took them with me when I left).

BTW, when the weather is forecast to be in the nineties perhaps you shouldn’t be out moving/relocating.  I wore a shirt, and I now have a farmer’s tan/sunburn.  Since I was wearing my Seahawks hats at the time, I now have a sunburn line across my forehead.  But, it is done.

It's hotter than Hell today

But both buses I have to take to get to work today have AC. Thank you Pierce Transit.

I’m still around

I’m just in the process of moving.  The computer will probably get dismantled tomorrow, and therefore my only internet connection will be through my cell phone until next Tuesday, barring Comcast mucking it up.  I’ve gotten a lot of stuff moved over there already, but there’s still a lot more to go…

Happy Birthday

It's my boss's birthday today. Happy Birthday, GuacemoleHockeyStickUnderpantsGnome. You're still just a baby.  Now get out there, and work hard.  And get off my lawn, too.

Summer's finally here

Summer's finally here. The april showers turned to may showers and june rainstorms, but the sun has finally made it's token appearrance. It also may have something to do witn the fact that I'm in the middle of a ten-day stretch at work without a day off. While trying to move at the same time...

If you took a look outside….

You might have seen John McLaren’s head rolling down the street.  Even in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division), if you do not perform, expect to be shit-canned.  It’s sad to see him go, but ultimately if you don’t win, don’t expect continued employment…..

A day off yesterday

I had the day off, and a pay check.  It did rain, but only once.  And my boss didn’t call me in (though he did call me about the slaughter in Boston.  I think Kobe Bryant may have had his penis cut off and handed to him).  I went to Wally World.  And even at Wally World prices, it is possible to spend over $50.00 on socks and underwear.

It’s here

Firefox 3 is out.  2.9 million downloads in the first eight hours, and the Mozilla servers crashed from the mindless hordes all trying to get there copy.  According to here, currently over 4.5 million copies have been downloaded.  If you haven’t got yours yet, you can get it here:

I also downloaded the latest Internet Explorer 8 beta from The Anti-Christ.  Mozilla need not worry.  Internet Explorer is still a piece of crap.

Now to update the spreadfirefox buttons on this blog…..

I’ve been through this once already!

If you’re a loyal reader of this blog, you’ll know that I moved last August.  I went from a three bedroom apartment with a couple of roommates to a one bedroom apartment by myself.  But some developments have come up.  One of my former roommates (who is also my younger brother) was staying with my sister (who just had a baby girl).  He wants to move out (something about a toddler and a baby in the house, and he wants to get this thing called sleep.  It could also be my sister wants him out to turn his room into a nursery).  And then my landlord tells me that there’s a two bedroom apartment available.  So, I told him to apply, and he did.  Today, I called the landlord, and I got the skinny.  He got approved conditionally (basically because I’m never late paying the rent is the only reason why he got approved).  But this all means one thing, and I don’t like it at all:

I’m moving again.  In two weeks.

It all goes through Boston

First, the BoSox won the world series [in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division)].  Then, the New England Patriots get their well-deserved beating in the superbowl.  Well, the one exception is the Bruins (all hail the Red Wings).  But, then there are the Celtics.  This wasn’t just a simple victory.  This was a slaughter.  More like a massacre at 131-92.  Did the Lakers even bother to show up?  The next thing to see is if the Sonics will stay in Seattle next year.  But I’m not a basketball fan, so I’m not really following the saga.

Oh Happy Day!

It's my Friday. And I already have my paycheck (thanks to a really nice boss who's saving me an extra trip that I didn't want to take). But this also means one thing: It's going to rain tomorrow.

Happy Father’s Day

I called my father and wised him a happy Father’s Day.  I then told him to clean the basement (like Grandma wants him to).  For father’s day, I got him a cell phone that had Bluetooth on it (his current phone does not have Bluetooth), as Washington state law mandates that all motorists are to use hands-free devices on their cell phones by July 1.  But he prefers his method of handling phone calls while driving: letting voice mail deal with it.  Oh well.  At least I got him something this year (if you’re wondering what I got Mom for Mother’s Day, I got her a wi-fi router, and I wi-fi’ed her apartment).

A discovery

I've come to this conclusion. It's taken a while to figure it out, but I've now realized that I suck at Ms. Pac-Man. Be it in arcade, on my cell phone, or on our old Atari 2600.

Render unto Ceasar…..

So I get my economic stimulus check today.  And it wasn’t as much as I thought it was going to be.  But, on the bright side, I can now close the books on last year’s tax return.  At least I’m now squared away with the tax man.

How Shocking

That on my commute home from work, I should get the sudden urge to listen to Handel's Water Music. To say that it's raining is an understatement. It's more like a monsoon. And it's cold, too. Where's all this global warning that everyone was talking about?

I'm still here

I'm still here, but due to circumstances beyond my control I won't have internet access for the next week or so. I can still post with my cell phone, though. I just can't put any links in the posts....

Edit: I now have internet access again.

To prove a point

I commented in Brielle's blog yesterday that I would rather install Windows MEthan install Vista. See the picture....

It turns out to have been a harder thask than I thought. Formatting and setting the hard drives (both of them) is easy. I know how to do it from DOS, but both hard drive manufacturers (Seagate and Western Digital) supllied cd-roms with graphical tools that make it idiot proof (and there's also my copy of g-parted, too....). The tough part actually comes down to the physical shape of my Windows ME disc. And I can't blame that one on The Anti-Christ, either as much as I want to do it. It's just scratched and worn, and it takes three tries to make it work. But I did get a functional install of Windows ME going. And I intend to keep it to commemorate the crappy, half assed job that microsoft has been foisting on us since 95.
