03/09/2003 Entry: "Slacker!"
I am in a good mood today, although I didn't really do much. I got to slack. While attempting to clean out my den, I got sidetracked with other stuff. You know, you pull an item out of the box, and go, "Hey, I have been meaning to get to that..." Here's been my thrilling weekend: - Christine watched the entire second season of "Queer as Folk" on DVD. - I did two loads of laundry. - Fixed CR's printer. He had the wrong settings (print to file). - I upgraded Samba on my main Linux file server, and fixed that damn "Cannot read home directories" bug. - Chatted in my favorite chat room: 3WA - Played Quake III, lost badly... to bots. I so suck at those games! I can't even beat bots, much less real people. - Browsed web. Laughed at the funny parts. - Set up my Lava Lite on my new (used) SMC switch. It was the Lite I had at work, a gift from Christine, but after Sean was canned, I didn't thinkit was appropriate to have fun at work anymore :(. - I found my QuickCam Pro with the beige ring is NOT supported by XP or Linux. Boo! :( - I found someone made a Win2000 hack for it. Yay! :) - The Hack is an older version of the driver, which had these "Christmas Light" bugs in it. Boo! :( - Plus I had to find another third-party capture program. Boo! :( - I found a great one! Yay! :) - I got some computer file housework done (deleting duplicates, renaming to user-friendly names, etc.) - I got some e-mail cleaning done. Some of you who have not gotten replies yet may get them soon! I took Ahfu for a walk. We went to PetSmart which he then peed on their floor. It was dog adoption days for "Have-a-heart," so I bet his was not the only pee. But that's just rude! I couldn't find a sales person to get me a towel to clean it up. In fact, I couldn't find a salesperson at the register until I found an adoption person who found the manager who found a cashier! I don't know how that place stays in business... it's always pretty empty, and the staff looks like apathetic teenage rejects. I bought a "Spanish Harlem pimp rockabilly punk shirt" off a guy from eBay. Just the title was enough to sell me. But it was cool-looking, too! Zebra stripe collar, silver martini glass buttons. Expect to see me at all the parties! At first, the seller's Paypal put down $15.50 shipping! Yowch! Then he e-mailed me back, going, "Oh no no... that's way too much!" He's refunding me the difference. Someone bought my book, and Paypal didn't let me know until I bought the shirt that I had a $8.20 credit. Doh! This patient person ordered it back at the beginning of February, and hasn't said anything yet. Man! I sent him some mail saying I'm mailing it out tomorrow. Poor guy!
One last item: I removed Karma voting from this blog. I didn't see a point to it, and I kept getting apologies from people who were rating me down by accident.
