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.

B2

Ok, welcome to the new b2/Suse powered website. As you may have noticed, there was a slight delay when you visited the main page this time. That’s because you have been redirected from my main page (http://cjbonline.org) to my webserver (http://cjb.stures.iastate.edu) hopefully soon, I will have a new machine, fully setup and capable of running this website with the correct domain name, but currently, since host2students are being asses and won’t give me my UNIX account back, and NT hates Mysql/php/everything this website won’t fucking work there. So here it is.

This new site is fully powered by b2, and I will be slowly moving all past entries from Oct 2000 up to Oct 2001. That’ll take a while, so if the rants page links don’t work just give me some time. Also you may have noticed that the buttons on the right are gone. They’ll probably stay gone until I find a flash editor/regcode for vmware.

So that’s what I’ve been working on all day. I should be studying for Accounting 215, but I really don’t want to. I figure it should be ok, plus Sri has my book. I’ll study tomorrow. I promise.

Class Ring

So this weekend has been really really great. Friday we did the normal hang out with people and go to Java Joes. It was fun, there were alot of people this weekend.

Saturday Adam worked tell 3, after that we went out to Saylorville and parked at the bottom of the dam and walked up to the top with a blanket. We laid it out and laid on it and just had a good time talking and watching the sunset on Des Moines. It was great. I wanted to find a more secluded spot to watch it cause it was a good sunset, but I couldn’t think of anywhere that was semi close. I mean I know of alot of places up by Boone and such, but nothing around here that’s secluded enough. After the sunset, we went and did some random things. Then we headed downtown for Stomp. It was a kcik ass show. I’m really glad that I got to see it, but I still really wanted to see The Laramie Project. Mark Wheeler was in it too, that would have been cool to see him in it. After Stomp we headed back to my house and did the hot tubbing thing. That was alot of fun, and the weather Saturday night was just great and there were TONS of stars out. After that we went inside and went to bed 😉

Friday night Adam had given me a pot he made in class. It was really cute and it means alot to me. It has both of our astrological symbols on it, and on the bottom is our anniversary date, which by the way, today makes two months. But yeah, it means alot to me….. But when he came up to the dorm on Thursday I had something that I wanted to give him, but I thought it was at home, so I didn’t worry about it, I was going to give it to him this weekend. So Saturday night we were laying in bed, and I told him that I had his present. It’s really corny, but it means something to me. I gave him my class ring. He cried, it was really nice.

Today we got up about 10 and Adam had to go to work, so I drove him to work. After he got off at 3, we just hung out randomly and did things. He dug up a tree with a pick type thing, that was amusing. Then we went to Wal-Mart and we saw Julian. That was great too.

We’re thinking about going out to Lincoln here in like two weeks to see my cousin. We’re going to leave here Thursday night, drive out there. Hang out with her, sometime…. I haven’t really figured out when we’ll have a chance to hang out with her, and then Friday afternoon drive to Corning, hang out with David for a while, and then go to Lenox and spend Saturday with my G&G. We’d probably drive home Sunday or Saturday night. I dunno. The plans are still in the works.

Random topics change, but this weekend at Stomp we were sitting waiting for the show to start and it was just so amazing to just sit there and listen to the crowd talk, to someone that just listens to everything, it sounds like a big jumbled mess, but in each and every sound there’s a personal converstaion, someone could be saying how they can’t wait for the show to start and the people next to them could be telling each other how much they’re in love. But in the whole, it’s just a mass of sound, you can’t pick out just one person or one conversation. It was just neet to sit there and ponder that, so I thought I’d pass it on.

I’m going to bed now, so night all.
