Bought a $140 sound card top of the line of course.
Paid $640 in bills.

good thing i get paid in 10 or so days.

They doubled my bandwidth and storage space, which this month seems pretty pointless as it’s almost over and i haven’t even transferred 2gb :p

That’s right i had to re-do the code after i broke it again :p so once again the code validates :p

Ok i usually put the song i’m listening to last but since i’ts my favorite i’ll put it in first. In othernews i got my diploma today so i’m officialy a college graduate (with an AA). Exciting stuff work was kindof a blur today that was probably because it was a monday and i was working on the project i’ve been working on since i started working there. I’ll be VERY glad when it’s done if you want to check it out it’s at http://alphaomegapaint.fossumdesign.com

I don’t feel like saying very much right now. ohh AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

Well it was my sisters 19th birthday today i bought her a blue shirt that is very uhh girly? It had different buttons and was some realy comfortable fabric, needless to say my mother helped me pick it out. Heather also got a scarff, another shirt, and a 13″ tv which in my opinion is pretty cruddy compared to the tv’s i’m looking at but hey i’m sure she’ll enjoy that tv.

At work i did mostly bug fixes today not very much in the way of coding.

Ok i was board and i was surfing the Firemonger project’s fourms and i saw someone post their pgp signature and i thought to myself, hey i didn’t know that it was free i should get one for myself… so i did i’ve attached it below. Or if you have pgp installed you can just go to wormeyman.com/php and download the key. Yes my nerdom is complete now :p

Well the lan party went good i managed to inherit around 5 networking cables as well as a power strip. We played a lot of nox and ureal tournament 2004, unfortunately i did not get to play very much as i let other people use my pc that didn’t bring one but hey at least they had a lot of fun ( i hope). I’m graduated which is a very weird concept to me because last time i graduated i went to more school this time i go to work then i go back to school weird idea for me i guess.

This week at work is supposed to be fairly busy as we have a 50 hour project that has to be done at the end of the week i’m pretty sure and it is supposed to be implemented in Mambo. My parents are on a honeymoon vacation they’ve been married for 24 years which is unfortunately in this society very rare.

I’ve also linked to the fossums blog as a nice guesture as well as the company i work for Fossum Design.

Ok i got the wires running from the cablemodem-router-16port switch. I taped the cables to the floor so no one trips and destroys the connection to the ‘net (not that it matters too much on a lan). A few people confirmed in the last few days nate is coming so that is cool. I’m really excited to finally be having the lan party i’ve talked about for over a year.

See below 3 posts for who is coming.

Stuff i have just in case:
1 monitor
1 ti4200 64mb video card
1 cat5e cable

Stuff i cannot provide:
Computer cables
Surge protectors

Network capacity for 20
2 cases of mountain dew (thanks josiah!)

If anyone reads this please leave a comment because i figure that if i post more often people will have more of a reason to read this. Ohh and Aaron and Collen need to post in their blog :p

Someone the other day called me “The Patcher” and the more i thought about it the more it made sense. I seem to have this need to make sure every program is up to date because i like having my computer that way. And when i am on other peoples computers i seem to do the same. I mean patching windows makes sense because it is for security reasons but the rest of the time it’s because i want to have the latest and greatest features out there.

I think that is one reason i like to beta test so much is that i get to have the newest features before everyone else marketing people call me an “early adopter” i just like to play with new toys.

I saw this tv at fry’s today and it is within my price range (well it’s at the max of my price range) has support for all the standard stuff such as 480p and 1080i screen resolutions. Several inputs including HDMI which by the way the cables cost around $70-$120 but you get audio and video in one cable and it’s the best (i beleive) out there as far as resolution and what not.

Of course if i get this i will feel the need to purchase an xbox,halo 2, and an xbox hdtv adaptor. None of my accessories support the hdmi plugin (my cheap dvd player does not) so i will not be purchasing that just yet.
