Well I'll soon be off to go to rehersal for MP's wedding tomorrow... wonder how this will go.

Well... I guess today wasn't so bad... it started off that way, but it go better...

I didn't get enough sleep last night, I kept waking up... I didn't seem to accomplish anything at work... I didn't eat enough today...

well anyway, I went to lab today... not too bad... I did manage to make sure of ip route-caching.... load balancing...

anywho... I got a call just before class from my friend's dad saying he was having a problem with password recovery of a user on a computer... so I left class early (absolute shock I know), and I went to his house... when I got there he had a computer, laptop... and asked if the way he created an account was correct... and it was... he told me how he obtained the laptop (it was legally), and he said
"well I got it for you"
I'm like... "you're joking"
"nope"
"really?"
"yes"
I was speechless.... it's not the fastest laptop in the world... but it works... it's a p4 1.2 with 256MB of ram... it'll do somestuff... I will upgrade the ram... there's no wireless... at the moment... but I don't have a wireless network... now I have a reason to buy a wireless router....

anyway, that's been my day... very strange... but now I have a laptop...

Well I worked today, from 11 - 5, I managed to get some stuff done, but not as much as I would have liked.

I went to pick up my Harry Potter books from Borders... there were a lot of people there. remind me next time to go and get my slip right after work, I had to wait entirely too long to get my books, I didn't get out of there until 12:55, took forever...

anyway, I will post a review of the book when I get done with it.

I Added an analog clock to my blog, I also have a digital one I can add if I want.

I've found a couple of articles about stores selling copies of the 6th book before it's supposed to be on sale:

I know the title of the first chapter... but I won't tell anybody else until after the book comes out.

With only 4 days until Harry Potter I decided to change the colors of my blog to reflect colors from the actual cover of the book...

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..
