New neighbors

I went over to the house Monday morning to get measurements for all the rooms that we’re going to be reflooring to get an idea of how many square feet of material we’re going to need. While I was there with the realtor, she told me an interesting story. Apparently the selling agent had called [...]

Gah!

I’m working away, and Sydney hops up on the desk, pacing back and forth looking for attention like he likes to do; entwining himself through my arms while I try and get all my stored procedures to fucking cooperate. Then he starts rubbing the side of his face on everything around, which is all fine [...]

Coachella

This weekend I’m going to be heading off, along with Kim and two friends, to the Coachella Valley Music Festival thingy dealie. It’s sort of Lollapalooza on steroids, or Burning Man but less dusty, or even Bumbershoot without all the rain. I’m currently bidding on camping tickets for all of us, which will probably be [...]

Wow

Remind me again why I’m grinding it out at $3/6 limit while my sister is tripling up at $1-2 no limit? update: Ok, maybe it’s not so bad. A few hours work, and I made like $400. It was a crazy action table, so I just picked my spots and got lucky a few times [...]

Cheap?

My work machine has been pretty slow as of late, and after running a spyware scan I concluded that it’s because I’m a little low on memory (only 1GB). So, just for an experiment I cannibalized my home machine and threw some more memory in the work one. Now, with 1.5GB it seems to run [...]
