Checksum Arcanius

“Beautiful Racks” – the unused glass racks after being sorted by yours truly. I’ll take a picture at the end of the week after they have been dealt with by everyone else to proove why the Bellevue Club should do anything they can to keep me around :-p.

On my way out to my truck this morning, I snapped this picture of my truck with the rain reflecting the camera’s extremely bright flash (as Dan will attest to).

WirelessSetup1
The binder supported by thread and duct tape with the 18 dB antenna pointed at my neighbor’s house. The WET-11 is in the corner, cover off and directly connected to the pigtail instead of having the RP-SMA go-between.

WirelessSetup2
The string supporting the binder is tied to a drawer in my Brother’s bedroom. Blackbrick, my old laptop (P90) is on the floor, as possible future WET-11 replacement. The borken RP-SMA pigtail is in the picture somewhere, as is my brother’s old LaCie external CD-RW drive.

Its official now: Greymatter has replaced Blogger as my ‘Bloging utility. The rest of my weblog is still available here.

The first (useful) picture I took with my new Canon S45 4.0 Megapixel Digital Camera. Clearly, the plane’s wing is broken ;-).

In other news, FedEx does indeed rule, getting me the package today at 2:42 pm. Unfortunately, I was at the Bellevue Club until 4:20 and then I worked at Blockbuster at 5:00. So I didn’t hav emuch time to use it until I got off at 10:00. I am very pleased with its size and performance so far.

Stay tuned for long-overdue pictures of my wireless “internet borrowing” setup and of various other aspects of my dialy life.

The speakers on my laptop, while lacking severly in the low range, are surprisingly good for their compactness.

I’m listening to music while putting away dishes; thus the abnormally long list (see above) [music and mood didn’t, unfortunately, get transfered in the move from Greymatter to WordPress].

I just blended (see Enemy of the State to better understand blending).

My parents just got home; I’m glad they are well.

Because I am too lazy right now, I shall cut and paste:

[21:40:34] Me: well, I’ve never done that to a girl either, but I was thinking more generally
[21:40:53] Her: oh okay
[21:42:28] Me: and when I said “so now what” I was actually thinking about chaning the subject
[21:42:41] Me: unless of course you want to continue
[21:42:53] Her: oh okay
[21:43:14] Her: no that’s fine talking about it jsut upsets me
[21:43:32] Me: exactly, so now we will talk about something else
[21:43:46] Me: like how dumb I am for going to bed at 7 this morning
[21:43:49] Her: yeah
[21:43:50] Her: hahahaha
[21:43:51] Her: why?
[21:43:58] Me: I was watching movies
[21:44:17] Me: well, first off i got home really late
[21:44:29] Me: because I agreed to pick up a shift at blockbuster
[21:44:51] Me: the guy is gonna give me another $20 on top of my regular pay
[21:45:01] Me: and then I wasn’t tired
[21:45:05] Her: well that’s good
[21:45:09] Me: because I had stayed up late the previous night
[21:45:26] Me: and so I started wathcing Basic
[21:45:38] Me: then I started watching terminator, even though I know I shouldn’t have
[21:45:47] Me: I fell asleep during terminator
[21:45:58] Me: just finished it now
[21:46:02] Her: good job
[21:46:12] Me: so then I woke up at noon
[21:46:36] Me: and it turns out I had been (re)scheduled at 11 as opposed to 1 – so I was late to work
[21:46:44] Her: oh oops
[21:46:55] Me: no big though, becuase the schedule changed, the mod didn’t care, he was just glad I showed up at all
[21:47:06] Me: and then the person who was supposed to relieve me never showed
[21:47:26] Me: and I got to stay till 9 (I was supposed to be off at 6) until another replacement could be found
[21:50:15] Me: so now I have a headahce from lack of sleep, I’m still getting my laundry done
[21:50:19] Her: oh
[21:50:20] Me: and… um yeah
[21:50:39] Me: and I’m hungry
[21:50:45] Me: so I’m going to go get something to eat
[21:50:48] Her: i’ll talk to ya later!
[21:50:48] Me: and do dishes
[21:50:52] Me: I have a laptop
[21:51:00] Me: haha I’ll carry it down with me
[21:51:06] Me: and wireless network
[21:51:08] Me: woohoo
[21:51:11] Her: aren’t you cool
[21:52:05] Me: I often think that about myself

The “day” rollover in this blog should really occur at about 4:00 to 6:00 am – since I often get home after midnight to write about the previous night’s events. But then our whole society really should consider a new day beginning in the morning, and not at the ludicrous time of midnight. But thats not even the right solution – everyone really should wake up around first light, and go to bed much earlier so the daylight is used more efficiently. Oh well.

I’m not sure if I got paid properly for the hours I worked at the Lakemont Blockbuster a few weeks ago. The matter is under investigation.

I will be moving the old (Blogger) blog archive to their own indexed directory. I will post the location once I do that.

I love my subwoofer. I have the Logitech Z-560 4.1 surround sound system. It can output 400 watts, which is enough to hurt me, enough even to hear all the way downstairs. But the point is, the bass is so full. I can’t complain about the bed trembling.

I’m currently ripping X-Men United (aka X-Men 2).

I’m about to watch Basic.

I’m collecting $20 from Colby at church tomorrow, right before I go back to work at Issy-Gilman Blockbuster.

Thats all for now.
