Random Thought

I watched most of PU-239 (IMDB link) the other night. I gotta say, it was a bit of a strange movie, due to there being two completely different stories it kept jumping back and forth between and only brought together at the very end. I could ruin the story for you, but one person who reads this might actually look the movie up and watch it, so I'm not going to. Basically, it involves Plutonium, Russians, and Mobsters, so it caught my eye as I was channel surfing Sunday, stuck in bed again. Synopsis here . I would say rent or borrow it if you are interested in a look at dedication, unfairness and corruption in life, and circular justice.

Better

I'm feeling better. Worked Saturday, but that was too much, and I was laid up again Sunday. Worked Monday and Tuesday of this week. It was good to get out. I'm working from home today, feeling a lot better, but still have half a week of doses left, so I'm hoping to be all better by the time those antibiotics run out.

So, calling someone I've done freelance for, and also trying to wrap up the last website I've been working on. Then a quick on site setup for someone who needs wireless installed. I'm taking my laptop. Doing some wireless scanning while I'm there. Good thing it's not illegal to look, so long as I don't crack and steal service. I actually want to make sure the network I'm setting up is on a channel that isn't being used by the neighbors.

I rebuilt my main desktop inside the CM 690 computer case that was on sale over the weekend. I'm hoping it'll fix some of my cooling problems I've been having with the old case, now I just need to get a computer desk. I'm talking to someone about what looks to be a sturdy desk that I could add on some extra "attachments" to mount my monitors vertically (better for working with text and websites). I would love to have swivel mounts so I can set the monitor vertically or horizontally, but I can only ask for so much. If I got a full setup, I'd be looking at $300 or more, so I'm trying to take a d.i.y. rout. something with $10 1" steel pipe that the monitors will mount to with a $30-$40 mount. We'll see.

The Wonderful Time - to be Sick

So, I'm waiting for one of the people I do freelance for to pay me so I can go to a walk-in clinic and have a throat culture done to see if I have strep. Then I get to wait for CompUSA to pay me so I can pay my car insurance. I just love doing freelance, but you have to get used to the payments being a little delayed (by as much as a month and a half, in one case).

Update:

Its just a sinus infection... that has had me in bed all day. I'm going to go to sleep now and hope that I can get up in time for the breakfast at church tomorrow. The fever has finally set in, and now I feel like I'm freezing, even though I'm roasting in my very warm room (thanks computer for putting out a little extra heat for me).

Doing the Life Thing

So, applying for new jobs this week. Fun stuff.

It MUST be my week, "Down Parascope" was on yesterday. Oh, but that would have been last week. Oh well.

Swing dancing last night was great. Christmas ball is in two weeks! Break out your fancy garb; it's gonna be a swingin' good time! The time is 7:30 PM at Otter Creek Community Church Dec. 1 in Brentwood.

Good News from Florida

My good friends Nate and Jos had their second daughter Tuesday evening. They have pics on their blogs. Congratulations guys! I'm not sure when my next trip to FL will be, but I'm looking forward to meeting Amberly Anne.

Comspastic

So, just a thought, but if Comcast stopped advertising and put all that money into increasing speeds and maintaining better connections (that don't drop out in the middle of raids in World of Warcraft), think the word would get out by word of mouth from person to person that they were better than the competition?
