There was a briidal shower for Jamie yesterday at Samantha’s in Fairhaven. It went verry well. Jamie got all sorts of stuff that was on her registry. I’m amazed at just how generous people are, even in an economy like ours right now.
Also, I just got an email indicating that the bank has decided [...]

It turns out that the cpu scaling thing is still not working correctly. Weirdness. I am also having a hell of a time getting the Dell 5720 VZW card to work. It may be, though, that it’s not properly activated on their network. I’m going to have to persue that further.

Was a success, it seems. I still have a few things to “fix” and Monday will be the real test. We’ll see if I can get all my work related applications to start up ok.
But so far so good. It looks like my cpu frequency scaling issues have gone away, and it also seems [...]

My computer at home keeps crashing. I think it’s mostly because of it’s proximity to the little critters (the ferrests and the bunny). I have a bad feeling that the fans are sucking in bad things in the air.
It’s just terribly frustrating, because I use the box a LOT from work, remotely.
I don’t [...]

Well, the house failed its title 5 inspection. Not because there’s necessarily something functionaly wrong with it, but rather, the laws have changed between the time it was installed and now.
So, long storry short, the system is going to need between $10,000 and $20,000 worth of work. The P&S, of course, has a clean [...]

So, I gave a “talk” at the RI Linux Users Group on regular expressions this past weekend. Wow, what a disaster that was. I realize now that it was maybe to big a topic to cover with any ammount of depth. Especially since I kind of had to start at the very beginning (e.g. we [...]

Yah, I’m to try and never let so many big things all collide at once in my life again …
On the other hand … I had a lot of fun in China Town and in Quincy on Saturday!
And picking out tuxes on Sunday was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Jamie and I made a verbal offer on a house in Freetown this week. We’re going to make the written offer / sign the P&S this week, too. Probably Fiday.
I’m pretty ecited. It’s an interesting house. It’s an octagon! It has an attached 2 car garage, but it’s on a slab, no basement, no [...]

This weekend, I gave Jamie that ring I’ve been sitting on and popped the question.
She accepted.

Ok, I upgraded to Kubuntu 9.04, and let me tell you, nothing got better. I’m too busy and too frustrated, so I’m knee deep in the process of converting my laptop over to the regular gnome based ubuntu desktop, now.
Until KDE gets their act together, I’m done w/ KDE.

Well, I felt like I was on death’s door for the past 3 days. I went into work 2 days ago, because I had an important meeting that I felt like I couldn’t miss, so I was only walking around because of copius ammounts of DayQuil, Psuedafed, various cough drops, and caffeine.
I got a [...]

Maybe after I upgrade / fix my laptop, I’ll have some time to probe all my book marks on delicious and remove the dead links and re-tag the ones I’m going to keep. It’s getting to the point, now, where delicious is almost useless to me.
*sigh*
and KDE 4 still sucks / pisses me off. [...]
