Justin came over for a hard drive... so, instead of turning off my computer, I just ripped it out of my system... but I unplugged the wrong one first :/ so, I turned off the computer and unplugged the right drive... then turned the computer back on and it said there was no boot disc... so I tried booting from a windows CD to repair the MBR... but windows setup found no hard drive... so I tried booting from a floppy... no hard drive... wiggling the cables again, I realized the drive came unplugged from the motherboard...

Justin gave me some homemade beef jerky in exchange for the drive :)

OK, I am not getting enough sleep. Reinstalling MovableType tonight is just one of the things that keeps me up.

Bleurgh...

I swear, if I have to make one more dice roller or coin flipper for my Visual BASIC .NET class, I'm gonna flip out.

I want to learn to make something useful, dammit!

Despite the fact that I bought a T-Mobile phone, Catherine Zeta-Jones has not yet visited me. :-/

I've spent the last week or so fooling around with my new phone, the Sony-Ericsson T68i and I must say that I love it. I was afraid it would be hard to use because that's what I've read on the 'Net. Its menu system is supposed to be a nightmare.

After about an hour, I (having never before owned a cellphone (maybe to my benefit)) mastered the phone's navigation.

For the life of me, I couldn't get my Sony Clie to beam via Infrared my contacts to the phone. I did a soft-reset of the Clie and it works now.

I've got my T-Zones set up to check my email, but, ummmm... that's a terrible idea, because, not only does it have an email client, but I get an SMS (and thus, a ring and a vibrate) for every piece of spam I get. I gotta turn that off...

I love this phone. It has built-in Bluetooth. I can't afford a Bluetooth PDA, so I'm waiting patiently for my money to accumulate so that I can buy a Mac and use iSync.

Now, about that money... I've learned that my job is likely to be terminated on May 31, or, as the memo said, my "appointment" will "end". *Sniffle*

Ok, as you may or may not have noticed, my main page has been valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional and valid CSS for a few days. I'm working on getting all my pages to be compliant.

Why, you may ask, am I doing this to my site? Because I want to. And because there's no reason not to. Everybody, regardless of ability, should have access to the web.

I'm going to Otakon with Amy this August. Tom's going too. Hopefully, Laine's coming and bringing her friends Jon and Chad.
