Was in bed sick all day yesterday. I was probably awake for about 5-6 or so hours the entire day. I had a fever that probably broke around 2:00am last night.I’m feeling hundreds of times better now though. My major complain is that my back is crazy sore from being in bed so long. Hopefully [...]

Maybe not “always”, but since I don’t have a huge diversity in the things that I do, many of my hobbies are very similar to my vocation. I’ve been working on a friend’s computer that shit the bed a few days ago. It simply wouldn’t boot up. I had him try to restore the files [...]

In line for a carwash. I’ll likely swing by my dad’s after this and replace a few lights that are out on my car. Other than that, I’m probably going to do some chainmaille, try to clean and try to stay awake. [This entry posted via iam.slow-fi]

I feel much better this morning after getting to bed around 11:30p and getting up at 9:00a. Certainly a lot healthier. I’m still feeling slightly tired, but I’ll certainly be able to deal with that. Not to mention, that’ll likely be zapped once I get outside in the cold. I’ll be calling the dealership today [...]

Found out the problem with the car. Turns out there’s a fuel tank sensor that is failing. If it does fail, then the computer won’t draw fuel – which would be bad. Unfortunately, they don’t have one – so they will order one and I’ll be back likely on Friday. They are wrapping things up [...]

So I’m in line and hanging out in the waiting room. I’ll probably be here for at least 1 – 1.5 hrs. before I know what’s going on. At that point I find out if I need to rent a car or if I get my car today.

Well… up at 5:00am tomorrow, so I’m crashing soon. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day :( Hopefully it won’t be expensive on top of being very long… and hopefully I’ll be in cellular range and will be able to get online while I wait. So many things can make tomorrow a lot [...]

Turning on your hazard lights does not allow you to park illegally. Had to do some running around yesterday in Boston (hadn’t been downtown in a while) and it’s absolutely insane the number of people that just park their cars in highly illegal and otherwise dangerous spots and turn on their hazards as if to [...]

So I just wrapped up that other script that I was talking about yesterday. For the geek types, here’s what it does: 1) it will take input from an HTML form for a huge list of product IDs and the new quantities in the warehouse 2) it will parse all that input and dump it [...]

Today was crazy stupid busy. We had some problems that had the call volume through the roof and also had some people out – so we got slammed coming and going. Ugh. Got an hour and a half to relax and just let things settle… which is nice. Going to do some programming when I [...]
