Tired, Sleep

I’m really fucking tired today. I couldn’t get to sleep last night, to many things going though my mind. Mostly things about my back, it’s hurting like hell again. There was also alot of other things on my mind, but I really don’t want to get into that.

So today at work was really long too. We’re working on making this CD for MCC, it has like 50 presentations by all these people from the DOE, DOD, NASA and a whole shit load of National Labs etc. Well I was going though them all, fixing broken movies, adding bookmarks to them (8 bookmarks in each one) and changing the startup properties. It took me about 5 hours to get through them all. Then I took them into Nazanin to show her the finals. She started going though them, and there were like a couple that were “bigger” then the others. And she also decided she wanted to change the startup properties on them. I was about ready to kill her. Earlier I had done one, showed it to her, and she said that was good. I asked her if there was _ANYTHING_ she wanted to change, and she said now. But she’s a stupid bitch, so I had to go through them all and change the fucking things again. Why does she have to be such a nit-picky littlee bitch. And the worst thing is that she can’t understand most of what you tell her. You tell her that something can’t be done, and she insists that it can. I usually prove her wrong, but it’s just a pain in the ass. If she would just let us do our work and she did hers, we would get so much more shit done. But that’s govement work for you.

XMMS is dead and it’s sad. I upgraded to 1.2.6 from 1.2.5 and now it plays things in like fastforward. It’ll play a 3 minute song in like 3 seconds…..

Ok, Gotta love forums. I found the answer, XMMS lives again! ::yay::

Not much is really going on. I found out they offer alot of neet religion classes here. So I’m going to take some next semster, they look interesting. I still need to find another class for this summer though. So I’m going to go search the book some more. Laters all…..

A Guy That Has It All

I love how he has it all. He’s got a computer with 4 CPU’s and a computer with 10 PCI card slots. He’s got 8 Os’s on one computer and 10 Gig of RAM. He’s got a card that lets him back up his computers to VHS tape, yeah that’s right VHS, as in movie tapes. He’s got programs and data bases that do it all for him. He’s got a computer with Battery powered RAM, so that when he shuts off his computer, he’s not really shutting it off. He’s got it all I tell you, everything.

Yeah, I just love it how everytime he mentions something, he says, I hvae one of those, or a student last semester did this. It’s crazy. I tell you half his stories are false. Stupid MIS teacher. Well at least one things cool about him though, he’s a Linux guy, and he puches Open Source all the time.

Today’s been fairly good, I had my Accounting test at 11. I told myself last night that I was going to get up at 8 and study tell 11. I was up at 7, but I didn’t want to get out of bed, so I laid there tell 8, when my alarm went off. I still didn’t want to get out of bed, so I reset it for 9:30. I got up then, got dressed and went off to study. I studied for like 40 minutes or so. I think I did fairly well on my test though. So it’s good. And Sri said that they curve in there is way cool. So I hope things go well. I have to have at least a B+ average this semester.

I’ve started thinking about my classes for next semster as well (Summer). I’m going to take Psych 280, and I wanted to take Phot 201, but they don’t offer it during the summer. So I’m going to find some other class to take, probably something like Comp Graphics, or a Networking class. I just have to at least have 9 credits this semester and one has to fulfill a Soc/Psych req, and the other has to fullfill an International Req. I dunno, it should all work out.

I’m fairly certian I got the buttons working ont he other side, it was a stupid line break problem caused by IE.

The weekend of March 1, Adam and I are going to Corning/Lenox. We’re leaving Ankeny about 6:30ish Thursday night, go to Lenox, spending the night there, hanging out with G&G and Beak on Friday morning/afternoon. Hanging out with David Friday night, sleeping at G&G’s Friday night. Hanging out with G&G and Beak and random Lenoxing Saturday and then going home Saturday afternoon/night. It’ll be fun times.

Buttons / No Buttons

I really like the buttons. I really do. But you see the thing is that in Linux, flash doesn’t exactly work all the time, and well I want to see links at least. So today I wrote a javascript, so that the buttons show up if you have IE and just plain HTML links show up if you have anything else. All works fine for me, but for my tester, Andi (and a big thanks to her for all the pain and annoyances that I put her though) it doesn’t seem to wokr, something about a line error on line 53 or something. If you have any insights to it, please e-mail me. I want to make it work.

So you know what, for now, screw you IE users, go find a real web browser like Mozilla, or Opera, or maybe even Netscape. If I don’t have the damn buttons working in a couple days. I’ll take them down and just replace them with plain text HTML.

In other news. David was online today, and I got to talk to him some. That was cool. I guess he’s in the school play. And he said that if Adam and I wanted to come hang out that’d be cool. I also guess that my cousin is going out to Lenox on that same weekend, so there maybe some sleeping/traveling problems…. Since I am skipping school on Friday, I don’t want to go down there Thursday, and if I stay here then I might just as well as go to class Friday and we could leave on Friday afternoon. Whatever. I’m sure we’ll figure something out.

Nazanin’s Gone

I’m at work and Nazanin has been gone all day. I’ve got alot of shit done. Mostly stuff for me. But I got alot done for work too. I learned how to do autoplay.inf files today, that was amusing. And I only wasted one Cd. hehe. lol. But yeah. I got my C++ assingment done, it’s not due until Sunday, but it’s done and turned in. I need to study for my Accting test tonight. I dunno if I actually will though. Maybe I’ll do that for the next hour.

Other then work not much has really been going on today. I got my stat test back and I got a 92 on it. I was happy.

Adam hasn’t been on yet, and it’s sad. I didn’t get to talk to him much yesterday and well yeah.

I’ve appiled to be on the Scouting for All board, and I’m also a “Grassroots” contact here in central Iowa since they didn’t have anyone yet. I’m thinking about holding a protest type thing the second week of camp, it’d be a sunday afternoon in late June. That’s the biggest week, with over 700 scouts and scouters come to camp. So I figured that’d be the best way to get the messege out to alot of scouts at once. IM me or leave me messages if you have any Idea’s about it. I’ve contacted Steven Cozza and he’s sending me a Video called “A Scout’s Honor” it was on PBS a while back and I hear it’s really cool. So maybe one day when I get to the GLRC again, I’ll bring it or something.

That’s all I have, laters all.
