Stuffs

Here are the quick updates as they are today:

  • The new gas plane flies (but I didn’t fly it)! Check out the pix here.
  • I’m changing jobs. More on this in a future newsletter.
  • Vacation time is fast approaching. Problem is I don’t know where I’m going.
  • Congress and the entertainment industry is getting stupid again. Go do something about it here.
  • That’s all for now.

    Tired of tired

    After a week of push, push, push to get a project done there’s nothing like going home on Friday knowing it didn’t happen. Oh, and drinking for more than 12 hours straight does nothing for your metabolism. Really.

    At the Movies

    Saw Black Hawk Down this weekend. Powerful stuff. Not one person talked, laughed, or otherwise cut up when leaving the theater. I suppose I could see where critics may have panned the film for character development (or lack thereof), but it is still a good movie.

    If you have ever questioned why military types are cocky, self-agrandizing, or otherwise egotistical go see this movie. I have a new respect for them and their job, even if the policy behind their actions make little sense.

    Downtime no more

    Well, another week has come and gone, as has Goobz record of stability. We’re all sitting with fingers, legs, and toes crossed hoping that this fix will be the last one. Not that I can complain, mind you :)

    Site is up???

    Goobz (the server that hosts this site) is back up and operational. But for how long? Guess I shouldn’t complain too much, seeing that the hosting and support is all free. But, I wouldn’t be me without complaining. Sorry if you came to the site between Feb 9 and 10 and couldn’t get in.

    Crappy DSL

    Pacbell decided yesterday to kill the login server for all of Northern California and Nevada for over two hours. Nice of them, eh? If that wasn’t enough, tonight most addresses on the West coast fail to resolve on either ping or tracert. So much for gaming. Sometimes I really hate DSL.

    Short Post

    Still plugging away here. Mail services are working better so watch out, another newsletter may be headed your way soon. Which reminds me, a newsletter upgrade (to handle HTML) is overdue. Better get cracking on that.

    And no, I haven’t added any stories or movie reviews yet. They are coming. Just you wait.

    Suckage

    I’m not one to rant, but this work stuff is for the birds. Really! What do you do when you are just so tired of the same old same-old that when the next thing happens you snap? Well, if you are me you rant. Not sure that it does wonders for my social standing but I feel a bit better.

    In any case I’m about to the point where being a cashier at Target sounds really good, or at least less better than the gut wrenching stress of the current job every week. If only I could fix that pesky cost of living thing. Hmmm.
