Fish at my desk

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

So I bought some gold fish in efforts to decorate my desk at work.  I have come to notice that I think one of them has been having what I can only describe as a seizure.  He sits there for a moment then turns upside down starts to float then comes back to life and shakes around and swims in repeated circles… He is truly odd or had a disorder.

** UPDATE **
Attached is a picture of the fish per Jake’s request..

Nevada DMV Woes

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Today was a mess with the DMV, I went there nice and early on about 4hrs of sleep.  Only to see a line of people already out front sitting in law chairs.  At first I thought it might have been a protest or someting… But it was just people waiting for the DMV to open. After weeks of worrying about my smog test I passed, then I had a VIN inspection… which I passed (Last I knew my car was my car and was not stolen).  Then after waiting about 20 minutes I was called to the desk.  Everything was going smooth, until they checked my insurance.  I have insurance but when I registered it online I guess I typed the VIN incorrectly, so all along my car has not been covered by insurance.  They let that slide and gave me my plates.  I had to make about a 10 minute call with progressive and everything was straightend out.
Now to get my stereo installed this weekend and my car wont be as bad to legally cruise around it.

And now I am really old

Vegas Heat, Steak and Computers

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Over the past couple of weeks Vegas sure has gotten hot.  I had forgotten how hot it gets during the summers here.  Ohh well once I get a job I think it will be time to fix the AC unit in my car since it doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Ryan was here over the last week and I wish my luck was as god as his.  Seems that he had a lucky streak as he was up around $1000 during the time he was here. Even though I haven’t won like that in a long time, he still treated us to nice steak dinner at Claim Jumpers.
I have started to plan out my new fileserver setup.  Mainly I have a dual 1ghz machine with 4gig of ram that I am going t put in pace as the fie server, and then take the d fileserver and make it a MythTv frontend for my bedroom…  Lets see how well this ends up working out.
