I've changed the Domain Name of my website, because cjb.net, on a windows 2000 computer has all types of pop-ups, I think that's bogus... so I changed to Dyndns.org. my website is now accessible using any of the following websites:

http://webguy.homeftp.org/
http://webguy.serveftp.org/
http://webguy.servegame.org/

I will continue to use cjb.net for another few weeks until everybody's links are moved to one of these three addresses. If there are any more, I'll let everybody know.

I was looking at my cell phone bill... Cingular charges 0.20¢ if you don't have the area code on the phone number of a non-cingular customer, they call it international text messaging... how stupid....

although I do have 1,354 rollover minutes that I can use, over 22 hours of talking and I wouldn't have to worry, not to mention the additional 450 minutes I have for this month.... don't think I have to worry about getting off of the phone...

I just got my bill for last month today, it's now the 11th, the billing cycle ends on the 23rd... hmm.... 18 days to get it... and it's due next week.... they can't blame the holiday.... that's always completely wrong....

School was ok, I didn't do a whole lot, I think I'm going to take the midterm sometime soon... it's a simulator so it shouldn't be too difficult, it's only setting up 3 routers to communicate together.

Interesting word I found, technology related of course:

typosquatting: the practice of preying on typographical errors to expose users to computer viruses and other malicious software, including, but not limited to, adware, spyware, and malware.

so be careful when typing in web addresses.

well today at work I managed to get all of the Eola Lab pc's updated with automatic shutdown.... I hope it worked....
I just checked and it did.... so good... now to do the rest of the pcs...

well I managed to go to tigerdirect today, I didn't get anything for myself... I did however buy erin a new cd-rw drive... she's going to take her PC to school with her... so she might buy a flat panel... I suggested that she go ahead and buy one... I still need to order a black floppy drive for her computer though....

I want to build another computer to house my website, including this blog... so I don't know if I'll get around to it... I'm going to go and price it out right now... probably around 600 or so... probably more... I'll let everybody know..

MP told me about this news story, ouch that would hurt: BBC NEWS England Merseyside Woman jailed for testicle attack

Ok, why does it seem as though I keep getting bombarded by projects and never being able to finish a single one... Ihad a 45 minute vent session with Beth about my frustration of having way too many projects with no priority list... so I'm now getting frustrated and irritated at the lack of organization... hopefully it will change soon...

I changed the salmon color Jewel... so let me know what you think of the colors now...

only 7 days until Harry Potter... I hope I can finish my current book on CD by then....

well of course, everything that I plan never works.... oh well, another day...

I did pre-order Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince book on CD today though... 40% off... can't argue with that.

Today at work I spent 5 hours updating computers... I should've known this was coming.... but I fixed 3 computers during that time... that includes windows updates, multi-lingual office updates, and copying the entire drive contents twice...

After work I headed to my friends' house to fix his dad's computer... it had some nasty spyware... took 5 1/2 hours to finally get rid of... talk about horrible....

I was watching VH1 while cleaning up my room... they had the 100 sexiest stars on...

#1: Beyonce - I don't think so

#2: Angelina Jolie - That would be a better #1, I know Jewel would agree with that!

#4: Britney Spears - not really sure why

Naughtiest Librarian: Natalie Portman - I'd agree with that though

Other notes: I did go to my meeting, there are goods and bads to the system, the best being centralized call management and centralized administration (plus remote administration ), it also supports seamless transition from cell phone to handset.... all of these are also negatives (excluding call management), because that means that I could work from home... which is something I wouldn't mind doing I guess.. particularly if I was sick or something... that'd be cool...

Ok, today was the ALA exhibit at McCormick Place in Chi-town... so I had to get up early... which I don't like doing. The trip there was an hour and ten minutes, not bad for Chicago traffic... we get to McCormick Place and out of our nicely air conditioned into the stifling heat (in reality it was like a 30 second walk but still), and we actually get inside, and we have to pull out our badges (but most of the staff don’t' realize this) to get into the exhibits... most of the staff are all clumped together... while Jewel and I just keep walking right along, let the rest of the staff ask for help....

anyway, I didn't realize how big the exhibit hall was huge... there were so many exhibits to see, and so much free stuff you wouldn't believe it... Free books, bookmarks, graphic novels, product literature, and the like.... Jewel and I ended up with 3 full bags each... I must have 15 or so books... all free... some advanced copies, some not... I'm going to keep the signed books for myself....

I ran into a former librarian he works for a shelving company... I like the shelving, it moves for space saving... it would work well in archival areas.... our main library has a basement that I think it would work well in....

We ended up walking around the entire exhibit area, many places twice, but I'm pretty sure we saw every exhibit that was available for us to see....

the product that I want the most is the Canon scanner we saw a demo of.... it can scan up to 25 pages per minute in black and white, and 13 pages per minute in color... it comes in two parts that would allow somebody to buy just the scanning portion, or just the flatbed portion.... and a bonus is that the USB cables comes with the scanner (not typically done in today's market).

I did meet Bill Barnes of Unshelved. He seems nice... I would have liked to have bought all three of the Unshelved volumes, but I do not have the money right now....

Lunch options for the day were minimal, McDonalds, or we would have had to lug all of our stuff around the city (no way was I doing that, I don't think Jewel was going to either) So Eric, Jess N, Jewel and I all went to Mickey D's for lunch, but Jewel managed to spill her drink all over the floor, I saw it happening too...

Jewel and I were in search of "bling" today, which was a flashing button that we couldn't find....

The trip home took almost 2 hours, and we went from I55 to Illinois 126... although we had several opportunities to use alternative routes... but we ended up going down 59, which wasn't too bad until we got close to home...

It was my first time going to ALA exhibits, but I have been to exhibits in DC if you recall. It was also Jewel's first time going to ALA, she had a blast, despite the heavy load of materials we were carrying...

Well after ALA, I still had school... I stopped to get gas for my car, and it took 50 minutes to get to school... never good... I would have gone up to labs, but I didn't feel like walking up the stairs, after driving for that long, and walking all day, so I just sat and talked to two guys from class....

And that's where I'm at now, typing this up... I'm going to wait for a little bit and take a quiz, maybe I'll post on that tomorrow... we'll see...

There's supposed to be a meeting tomorrow morning at 10:00, I'm not sure if I'm going to go... we'll see... it is a scheduled day off, so I will see what I decide... I do have my alarm set, but I might just turn it off when it goes off.... who knows...

Off topic: On the topic of school, I need to buy a switch for next class, buy the books for next class... and I need to sign up for classes.

I'm planning on starting a page of stupid quotes...
