So far it’s been another easy day at work. I fixed a small spreadsheet and did some printing. I’m packing up some old files to send to storage now. Of course I can also get in some web surfing; some links that caught my attention…. (more…)

thursday evening at home…
I straightened the house a little bit ’cause Sweetous will be back tomorrow. I’m glad, I miss my woman. I gathered up the laundry and washed some, took out the trash, and washed the dishes. So, now I will surf the web and listen to music…

monday evening…
Another easy day at work which is good in a way but also can be a bit boring. I was able to walk twice today but no bike ride ’cause I had errands to do. While getting water at Wal-Mart I was amused by the spectacle of a woman and a cashier in a pissing contest over an excess of items in the express lane. Of course this nonsense contributed to making it a very non-express lane. LOL ! some people waste a lot of energy on pissy ass trivial junk. Oh well, only human nature I s’pose.

sunday evening….
I’m a bit tired right now. Sweetous and I went walkng around early this afternoon and then I went to Borders for a while. When I got home I decided to try and fix my ailing computer. My Lenovo had Vista on it but it had been running very slow and just not working well; it would take like 20 minutes to finish booting. I was tired of that nonsense ! I had been using Knoppix Linux on a DVD but of course that would not allow me to save any bookmarks etc. I liked Knoppix and tried to install it this afternoon, but my geek skills are limited. I did not have success with that so I tried some other distros. Of course in the process of doing all that I totally messed up Vista. I was not happy, was thinking I would have to put the Lenovo in for repairs ! Then I tried installing Ubuntu 8.04 and I got it up and running ! I like it, so far my only complaints are a lack of google talk, the brown color scheme, and my wireless is not working ! I’m sure those can be fixed, I just need to find out how. I would think that Google talk would work on Kopete, I shall have to see about that. In any case it is working better now than it had been.

friday lunch time…
Links to the the entire NIV Bible… « lurking chihuahua - I published that page earlier this morning from an email sent to me by Nancy, thanks Nancy !
It’s a beautiful day, nice and cool. I went walking for 35 minutes and just got back. Now, back to work.
friday morning….
It’s Friday and so far has been a slow easy day; so I will just collect a few misc eclectic links whilst intermittently tending to this spreadsheet… (more…)

thursday evening…
A very slow day at work. I did some filing and some minor changes to a spreadsheet. I looked at computers on ebay and surfed the web. I also walked twice today, but no bike ride; it’s been raining on and off all day.

a bonus & a raise…
Very good ! Our HR guy just came around to announce raises and bonuses for all (well for me anyway). I assume just about everyone else got it too. So, let’s celebrate and spend the money before it burns a hole in my pocket. LOL ! Not ! It will get eat up fast; I need it to just keep on keepin’ on. Oh well, could be worse…
