Overnight, Outta Sight

It's back to working overnights at Toys 'R Us again and trying to get non-work related stuff done at other times. I actually started back Tuesday, but this shall continue until after Christmas. It'll take a bit of time to adjust to a wonky schedule though, but I'm happy this way. Tired but happy.   ©1984-2009 Toaraga EAM

Sometimes I Hate My Computer

Gah, I'm currently having problems with my computer and the Internet, and it keeps affecting my logging into BZP. I'm fairly certain it's cookies and/or programs, but I'm not sure what the problem is.   Sigh, I'll figure it out eventually.   ©1984-2006 Toaraga EAM

Reason Number-- Who Cares-- Why I Hate Winter

I've been feeling somewhat iffy since Wednesday, but I started feeling better early Thursday (yesterday). After much "fun" was had, I think it made me feel worse, so I took some medicine last night, and now I sit here still feeling bad and having remnants of sleep medicine in my system.   It usually takes awhile to begin working on me, but once it starts, I can be somewhat out of it for awhile.   ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

P M Titles, People. A K A Use The Proper Form

Okay, I try to go through PMs in order (based on urgency) and deal with them accordingly, but if I don't know what to expect before opening a PM, it's going to be harder to deal with and take that much longer. I try to separate requests from those that need urgent attention, so sometimes PMs that need attention might get mixed with request PMs.   PMs for RPG requests naturally take the longest to deal with because of all the reading and thinking (and whatnot): I also don't want to have a flood

Computer-based Alphabet: C Isn't Computer.

Just for the heck of it and because I was inspired, I decided to make an alphabet based on computer stuff. (Oh dear, I think I'm turning into a geek/nerd... with the glasses, computer knowledge, jokes, and everything.)   A is for Application B is for Byte C is for COBOL D is for Data E is for ESC F is for Format G is for Gigabyte H is for Hardware I is for Input J is for Jumper K is for Kilobyte L is for Linux M is for Megabyte N is for Nanobyte O is for Output P is for Processor

Devoid Is A Misnomer

Devoid: it's a word that basically means empty of something... but wait a minute! Wait one solitary, singular moment!   "De-" is a prefix that means the opposite, anti-, stuff like that: destruction, demagnetize. "Void" is a word that means empty. If my calculations are accurate, "devoid" should mean full of something. But the only thing it's full of is a definition... ponder this for awhile.   Oh, the irony! Won't somebody please think of the irony!?   PS, If you don't know what a misnomer

Tis The Season To Be Jolly... Now Go Away! :p

I haven't really built any MOCs since before Brickfest: I think that really put a strain on my creativity and desire to MOC. Though I wanted to MOC something, I just didn't feel fully compelled to do so; weep not though, for BBCC #39 gave me a reason to MOC.   One complaint people are giving is the color restrictions, but that's what makes things interesting. Utilizing my means within the confines of the rules, I am making a group of small MOCs which are unlike anything I've done before... I'm

How I Spent My Labor... Weekend

SATURDAY I went with some of my church's youth group to a Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers baseball game. (There was a MercyMe concert beforehand. Yay!) The game wasn't that great: the first pitcher allowed one home run and a grand slam in the first half of the first inning (Boo!). The game ended 6-5: we're still skeptical of that last point we didn't get.   SUNDAY After church, I spent the day digging through a mess for important documentation. Um, yay, mess.   MONDAY With a few friends

You Will Read Me

It's either a command, a suggestion, or a foreknowledge that you will inevitably read this entry. I dedicate this one to you, KIE.   Anyway, I'm beginning a temp job this week for college rush... actually, I've only got two days of training to basically get acquainted with the role (whatever new things there might be from last time I was there), but next week the real fun begins.   I'm also taking a couple courses; oh, they're going to be so much fun.   I'm saving up my money from this job

Dave The Barbarian... But With Rabbits

Yin Yang Yo! is one of my new favorite shows: the comedy style reminds me of Dave the Barbarian. Granted, there's no narrator, and the two main characters are rabbits, and the storyline and plot aren't the same... but the comedy: pure stupidity at its funniest.   There's just something about flashbacks and pointing out the obvious that makes this show's comedy great.   ©1984-2006 Toaraga EAM

Thanks, Veterans!

November 11 is Veteran's Day, and I just want to say thanks to all the men and women who put their life on the line for my freedom. Since I'll never meet you all in person, this is the best I can do.   I don't know what all BZPower members serve, but thanks to KanohiCelt, who I know does.   ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

Router Re-routed To Route 404

I think my family's router/modem has just about had it. Despite having DSL, our connection seems to have been flaky lately, as evidenced if you're talking to me on AIM and I suddenly disconnect and reconnect a little later (though it's not always true). It's probably also an issue when playing Halo 3.   I guess it's a good excuse to invest in a wireless router.   Entry word: Monitor Example: Monitor my shirt on a nail, and now I need a new one.   ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM
