My desk started to disappear under mounds of junk. Oops. Got me some hard drives, mail, magazines, more CDs than I can count, DVDs, a spindle of DVD-Rs, markers, pens, chainmaille, random computer peripherals, a tire pump… all sorts of crazy shit. Got that largely cleaned off and then took care of a bunch of [...]

He says to me, he says to me, you got style baby. But if you’re gonna to be a real villian, you’ve got to get a gimmick. And so I go I says, yeah baby a gimmick, that’s it! High Explosives! Yeah? Keep playing with fire superpants – you don’t know how much fire you’re [...]

Today’s taking a lot out of me. Started off just getting settled and talking to my manager about last week’s visit. Then I had a conference call with someone in development and product management about some fixes they’re working on for a particular customer that I visited when I was in Kansas. I guess I’m [...]

About a week ago my friend Pat said that I “thrive on conflict”. It was in context of the conversation we were having, so it wasn’t some weird attack or anything. Anyway, so I initially took minor offense to that but after thinking about it a bit, I think he’s right. It’s been bugging me [...]

I’m back in Boston and relaxing in my chair. I’m having a bit of a snack and I’m going to unpack and try to do some cleaning because Kevin and Pat will be over tomorrow. I’m just waiting for the heat to kick in since I obviously turned it off for the few days I [...]

It’s definitely going to be an early night tonight. I got up at 5, took off at 8:30, arrived at 10:00, waited for a car until about 11, then headed to the office for about 12:00 or so. Worked with about a 30 minute break until 6:00-6:30. I relaxed in my room until about 8:00 [...]

Ok, so I’ll be catching an 8:30am flight tomorrow morning for Delaware. I fly into Philly, pick up a car and then head south for a bit to the customer’s site. I think on Friday night I’m going to head down to Maryland and visit a friend and her fiance down there for the night [...]

Looks like I may be flying down to Delaware tomorrow – more on the situation once I figure it out and get stuff finalized.

Tonight was fairly slow. I talked to my mom for a while – she got back from a 10 day cruise yesterday, so we talked about that. Then I vacuumed a bit… nothing of interest there. After that, I spent a LONG TIME going through my mp3 collection cleaning up ID3 tags, adding them where [...]

I realized last week that “I have too many hard drives”. I honestly kept on finding them all over the place. It was kinda weird and I wanted to get it all in order. My computer had a 120G HD partitioned into two drives and with my new data array, it was kinda redundant. So [...]
