Absurd!

January 29th, 2006

It’s absurd! What are the programmers at McAfee smoking?? Standard install of McAfee; 9 programs startup via registry; 7 services startup on boot. Why??? Why do you need that many programs starting up?! That is 16 programs taking up valuable memory!?! Anyway, McAfee is coming off of this clients computer, and AVG is going on. [...]

Pavement = Dump

January 27th, 2006

What is it with people that just dump out their drinks on the road while they are stopped at a light or sitting in a parking lot? Are they not good enough to keep that in their car and just get rid of it at home, or the gas station? Then I have to drive [...]

MythTV Box 2.0

January 21st, 2006

I am redoing my MythTV box. A customer of mine upgraded, so I got his old computer. It is a 3.0GHz Pentium 4, with 1GB of RAM, ATI Radeon X700 PCI-E video card, and SPDIF-caplable sound. Oh yeah, and Gigabit Ethernet.

January 20th, 2006

Ouch… $997. That is what it is costing me to rebuild a transmission in a truck that is worth about $1500. It better work for a good long time.

Need Dough

January 18th, 2006

My truck had a little hiccup last week. Ok, a big hiccup. The transmission decided to crap out. It threw up all of its fluid, and then crawled on the ground. I thought about it over the weekend about what to do. I either had to drop another $700+ into it to rebuild the transmission, [...]

Cat Fight

January 5th, 2006

So I was sitting in TGI Fridays yesterday eating lunch with a friend. Behind me, I hear some yelling and turn around to see a woman jump a waitress. A fight ensued, and several people stopped the fight. I payed it no attention, as I deem this to be childish. Well, they take the waitress [...]

Another Shot???

January 1st, 2006

I got drunk for the first time in my life last night. It was also the first time I tried shots. The party seemed to be an overall success. All of the people showed up except for Kenneth. People didn’t really eat a lot of food. I was hoping for potato salad, but Lowell never [...]
