sunday fun
Didn’t do anything grand today. I just sorta hung out at my place, I built a bit of lego, set up a few downloads (which lead to a whole torrent, traffic shaping, proxy research project.) and played guess what’s in my back yard. The snow is slowly receeding out back and things are poking out. So far I think I have a shovel and a recycling box. Goodness knows what other treasures...
Bandwidth how I miss you...
When I got my new place I ordered the cheapest internet I could get. Which is 265k. I knew that I would notice a difference coming from a dreamy 8mb. I just didn’t know how bad it would be. Oddly online gaming hasn’t been affected by the slower speed, my ping has actually gone down for some of the FPS I play, which I gotta say is just weird. What I do notice now is poorly designed web...
Overload
Ok, not really but I’ve been sampling a lot of social web apps/site recently and I have to say that I don’t love any of them. I like them, sure but I’m not loving the experience of any of them. Myspace was a complete waste. Filled with bots, weirdos and just creepiness. Facebook, not much better. While you have a tighter control of whom you interact with (not that you can’t...
Job? Fuck It! by Packard Jennings →
Jump, just remember to pull ripcord.
So today I waltzed into my work full of misplaced bravado and egomaniacal justification over telling them to shove what was going on where the sun don’t shine. Yet, the manager I was reporting to wasn’t there so I quickly made notes to fill in my co-workers on what I was doing and how to carry on. They really don’t have to do anything. I wasn’t going to leave them in the...
Breaking point
I’m watching the crane outside the window of my office. It’s slow progess has really been interesting to watch as it slowly helps to build up the building below it. Oddly it sorta looks like it’s burying itself. So much better then actually working. Working on a project doomed to failure, because of lack of information. Information that I’ve asked for, volunteered to get...
Apartment woes
Before I get into my sad song about a weekend that’s gone less then according to plan let me put things in perspective. I have a killer apartment. Everyone I describe it to is really psyched about it. My insurance agent asked me to call him if I should ever move out of the place. Now there’s nothing in it right now because I’ve been pretty torn about what I want. First off the...
Theme swappin'
Not totally sold on tumblr but I’m getting the feel for it. I’ll have to find a theme that I can live with since even though I could make my own I know I won’t.

Test migration
Engtech has been never endingly discussing how great tumblr is. I’ll be migrating my wordpress stuff over here if I take a liking to it. out for now, Mindstream
