Changes… Britney Spears.. Work.. and stuff
Sep 25th
So .. as you see I changed the look of the site. There are a lot of things gone, but there are a few things coming back. I just haven’t gotten around to finishing the links.. but I was tired of the old look.
I think this one isn’t so.. well usual .. or something … *laughs* so check back from time to time if you are interested in the old stuff like the boneheads returning.
Like everyone else I have been near choked on the whole what’s going on in the life of Britney Spears. I have stated before that people should just leave her the hell alone. I have only this to say about her.. she looks hot and very … well fuckable.
Yes.. I would love to nail the shit out of Britney Spears…
Work has been interesting but good. I have a different manager to report to now. I am sure he and I will clash from time to time but I respect him more then I did the assclown I reported to before.
I was conveniently into a few hours of overtime due to inventory. After I pointed it out to my manager he sent me home.. so basically I have had two and a half days off this week. *thumbs up*
Still working on that streaming project with my phone. I can’t believe someone has not gotten this to work with their phone!!
DVD’s, TV and the end of the world…
Sep 24th
Friday the 13th: The series is released on DVD. I think I will pass on the opportunity to add this to my DVD collection. Something about a show with the title of a movie franchise and a plot that has nothing to do with said movie franchise portrayed by actors I have never heard of.
I watched The Dark Knight with Vanessa yesterday. I enjoyed the movie as much the second time around as I did the first. It is definitely a movie I need to pick up on DVD when it comes out.
With DVD’s in mind, I need to pick up Chuck. I think it was by far my favorite show to watch last year. I do not foresee there being much programming as enjoyable as Chuck.
Sarah Connor Chronicles seems to be leading to a premise of if the world does not end soon people are just going to start offing themselves due to depression and lack of sex. I still enjoy the show.. but it’s just a perspective I have. I was thinking Norton should jump on board and like Dodge is doing with trucks, Symantec offers to give away free copies of their software to put on your computer.
I doubt Norton would be responsible for dropping bombs and nuking the human race but for how bad it fucks up your computer, it would make you have horrible nightmares and hate machines just like the characters do in the series.
The bright side of the world ending is I wouldn’t have to attend 7am meetings once a week like the one I have to attend tomorrow morning.
I have this itch again to change the layout of the site. I have an idea of what kind of font I want to use for the header, but not design. I have some things I want to remove, but nothing I am sure I want to add or not.
I am trying to find a way to steam my music over the internet in a way where I can also stream through my Treo 700p. Does anyone have any ideas? If you do, let me know.. shoot me an email using the link to the left.
Tents, Tits, Treos, and Inventory
Sep 20th
The end of the world didn’t happen, but the machine everyone feared broke.. Large Hadron Collider down for 2 months Was it running Windows Vista? Did they install Norton??
I know .. I know .. bad joke..
Growing ‘tent cities’ blamed on foreclosure crisis this sucks.. I can’t even make a joke about this cause this is just horrible.. Then I realized the headline was not in reference to this tent city I was thinking.. first batman .. now this??
It’s still fucked up .. with or with out the joke..
A friend of mine from work needed to get his 120 gig hard drive formatted in Fat32. Well as we all know Windows tends to not make things easy. It will allow you only to choose format in NTFS on any drive larger then 32 Gig. He challenged me that I could not get the drive formatted so naturally I had to prove him wrong..
After a little bit of research I will tell you this.. you find entries on how to format the drive in fat32 from a command prompt. Fuck that… get Acronis Disk Director and all your problems are solved.
So I am sure if you read my posts I work with computers for a living. Whether it is selling them, fixing them, or teaching young padawans how the become a Jedi like myself.
I am helping customers and a lady walks up to me in the computer department and asks me; “Do you sell computers here?” I shit you not. I was confused how she missed the fact she was surrounded by computers and was speaking to someone whom had computers written on their name tag.
It was amazing… and the fact I knew she operated a vehicle to get there worried me even more.
It was nice out today .. which made all the hotties wear nice revealing clothing.. unfortunately the card carrying members of the celulite clan felt the need to share their asses off as well.
Speaking of work I had a few minutes to kill today so I decided to play with the bluetooth printers we have. I successfully set up my treo to send pictures to the printer and print them off with out messing with a computer. Now this would be cool if I were the type of person to want to print a lot of pictures.. but it will be cool to demonstrate.
I am still working on the best solution for streaming music over the internet. I have found a couple of solutions which will work with my notebook. Now I am trying to find a way to stream it through my phone.
That would be nails… Has anyone been successful with doing this? I would love to hear how if you have done it.
Tomorrow night is inventory… now unlike inventories I did at Radioshack this one is probably going to be like every store I did at the shack combined. There is going to be so much shit to do!! OMG!
At least I am not counting, I am leading.. which could be bad too… *laughs*
New Concept please!!
Sep 17th
Ok the whole people being infected, contained, freed from some evil doer concept for movies is seriously getting old… Not only did we get it beaten into out skulls with the Resident Evil movies, there was 48 hours, days.. years (whatever) later, then Doomsday.. and now we have Blindness..
Let’s not forget the containment because you are a fucktard idea was already done before with John Carpenters Escape from New York, and Escape from LA… (or better known as the movie with the cool surf scene?)
I don’t know … am I wrong.. or is this stuff all the rage and I missed the memo on it.
I am a little bummed the second season of Burn Notice is almost finished. That is such a damn good show. Hopefully I do not have to wait until next summer for new episodes. *shrugs*
My phone is being stupid. For whatever reason now, after I take a picture with the camera it does not want to save pictures. It’s really annoying.. I am going to see if there is something on the net to see if there are other people whom have had the same problem, etc.
Maybe after I go to the doctors office I will stop by a Sprint store and see if they have anything intellegent to say. Not expecting much to be honest.. maybe I will stick to the web for help..
Yesterday I spent over and hour cleaning the chrome wheels and bumper of the truck. I do not think they have been cleaned the way I cleaned them in over a year. Actually I know this because the truck was down for half the year or so and I didn’t clean it before then so.. it was a task but damn they look good.
I replaced the passenger mirror too. The guy at the auto parts store made it out like it was some big fucking deal too. All about removing the panel from the door and shit. I removed the cover, un bolted two screws, removed the old mirror, put the screws back on, placed the cap back on the mirror and it was done… big deal.. now adjusting it was a pain.. but that’s never new when you are talking about mirrors in a vehicle.
Eh.. I have to go to the doctors office today.. Doctors suck.. I think it is just a check up on the meds she gave me. Possibly give me more…
As long as I do not get contained like the movies I mentioned above I am sure things will be fine… *thumbs up*
Norton Strikes Again!!
Sep 10th
Norton Internet Security 2009 Seriously… these people make the absolute worst program in existence!! It is like installing a Hadron Collider on your computer and hoping it does not create a black hole with in your computer and suck all your shit away!
Happy End Of The World Day BTW
I noticed a mistype on Norton’s system requirements .. So I made some proper changes for accuracy..
* 300 MHz or higher processor (is what it will need for Norton Alone)
* 256 MB of RAM Minimum (more like 16,448 GB of RAM Minimum)
* 300 MB of available hard disk space (your disk will be pissed.. but..)
* Standard Web browser (any web browser will be corrupted)
* A sense of humor
* An understanding that your computer still has no security
* Geeksquad will still charge you around three hundred dollars minimum for your trouble when you get infections.
“The claim is that the security software will have “zero-impact” on PC performance” Let’s pretend this is true.. you are still screwed..
Trend Micro decides Windows XP/Vista is malware Bwaa Haa Haa Haa!! this is fucking hilarious! “A rather embarrassing mistake by Trend Micro” well yeah.. although some people feel that Windows Vista is an embarrassing mistake also.. but we are not going there now are we?
I actually like Vista… I know.. I know… but I do like it …
*belch* moving on…
Picked up the truck last night… yaay! no more drama about vehicle!! yaay!! It fuckin runs like a champ tho.. so I really am excited about it!
I think that is it for now … have things I need to get done today…
It’s that time of year for freezing nads
Sep 8th
With summer officially over that means no more half naked women running around making you want to explode in their pants…. or yours..
Let’s think about what we have to look forward to Harry Potter not being shown in theaters.. (for those who care), Elections (see Harry Potter reference.. and yes I care)… Thanksgiving.. My Birthday… Black Friday.. Christmas.. New Years.. Snow.. shitty cold weather… Ice.. Winter storms … and freezing my nuts off..
*thumbs up* bring it on bitches!!
I’m thinking about a new design for the site again.. kind of starting to get tired of this one. Thing is, I am unsure what I would want to use.. and or how I would want to make it look. *shrugs* it’s just an idea…
Before I mess with that tho.. I think I am going to redo my notebook. Perhaps set up crackintosh on here or something … I think I still have the disk for that… or I should be able to get a new one …
I finally got my annual review from work almost two months after it was due. I would be pissed but since I haven’t had the same boss for a large amount of time it would be hard for them to give me a good review..
and they didn’t some of it was utter shit.. but that’s ok… I just want to know if I am getting more money or not.. it’s all about the money.
I think I am going to go shit now… and go to bed.. I am tired and have lost interest to stay up any longer…
My Unicorn
Sep 6th
The truck repairs are near complete and I can taste it! I just want to hop in, hit the gas, and just blast all over town in my truck!
Problem is, it is not ready yet. The engine has been replaced, and it is technically ready to go.. but they found a couple of sensors that needed to be replaced which would help the truck run better… and it needed new tires (which I already knew), and I am having them install a new muffler.
It seems like every time I think I am going to get it back there is something which holds it up from being ready for pick up. I would be frustrated about all this crap that comes up, but since it is my uncle doing the work on the truck then I know he is not screwing me around.
Hence the unicorn reference from Gone in 60 Seconds..
If all goes well tho, I should be heading down to pick it up on Tuesday. Thank god… I hate driving the mini van.. no power.. not my car.. and I don’t particularly care for mini vans .. period..
Once I get the truck back I am putting in a new car stereo so I can hook up an external hard drive to my stereo and have all my MP3’s playing through it.. and get blue tooth… and play my iPod too… well maybe not the iPod…
Dreams… Music… and Acid
Sep 2nd
Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
That’s the deal; you get no respect
You’re gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck – Papa Roach
I heard this song on the internet the other day.. and I have that tidbit from the song still in my head… I have heard it before or the WWE edited version of the song from Smackdown vs Raw series.. but the full version is much better…
*blech*
I finally got around to upgrading to Photoshop CS3.. I can finally do all the new shit I could not do before from CS2. Now if I just get around to actually using the program for those reasons..
Lately I keep having weird dreams.. and every once in a while they will include tornado’s and or McDonalds… usually I am working at McDonalds which is something I haven’t done in over ten years or more .. and I have never been a part of a Tornado so I don’t know what the hell the deal is..
It’s even stranger when it involves random people I know or work with presently at my current job.. which is not McDonald’s.. *laughs*
I find myself still messing with music editing. I don’t mean the; “ooh I can trim a song and make it a ringtone.” I am now dabbling with how I can combine music, etc. I am currently messing with Acid Pro…
After spending more time then I expected with Acid Pro I have to say I am extremely impressed with this program. I don’t know what block I was having with how to save the mixes to MP3’s but once I got passed that it was game on!
My new ringtone for my boss now has a mix of him spatting off random shit while there are toilets flushing, farting, and vanilla ice. You would have to hear the mix to really understand it but it’s entertaining none the less.
