Ugh. What a couple of weeks this has been. I seriously missed my Macbook. It wasn’t anything major, i simply has a nut that was built into the lid of the Macbook give way causing the whole thing to bend and creak and not quite shut right. So since I am the geek i am, [...]

So over the weekend, and with the wedding looming closer, we met up with our amazing photographer and got some Engagement Photos taken. Now at first, I wasn’t so sure about the idea.  To me it seemed like a sham for more money.  But then I looked past all of that and though “these will [...]

So moving forward….. I Finally got some time to setup Server 2008 on my basement computer, only to find that some of my Capacitors are starting to bulge on the motherboard.  OH JOY OF JOY’S! Needless to say i just have to keep the server limping along for now, I can’t afford to a: build [...]

Well we have entered into a new era. I am posting this from my fancy new 2nd generation iPod touch. It’s very cool. While it is great that I can do this, I can say that long posts will have to wait for the computer or until I get better with the onscreen keyboard. But [...]

Let’s talk about Microsoft today. Sometimes referred to as MicroShaft or M$ or those fucking assholes who write crap software. I agree with most of the above statement’s. MS did get some things right, like how to market software and strong arm people. They even did a good job with Fable and Halo. And finally [...]
