Getting stuff done today

I helped convince my dad that the RAM in the computer at work are way too low and putting in more RAM would be so cheap it that it would be hard to say no. Like 3 weeks ago we ordered the RAM for the computers on NewEgg and there was one piece of RAM they did not have so they decided to hold the entire order.

After my dad got online and tried to figure out what was going on he ended up canceling the order. Last week Wednesday or Thursday I ordered the RAM and on like Monday the RAM was here. As I said it earlier I put it in last night and one of the three computers is noticeable faster. The other two are only a little bit faster.

Anyways I got that done and then last night after saying late and installing RAM I came home after not eating a lunch to having corned beef and cabbage that was awesome. I later sat around the house zoning on out the TV. I found a show on NBC that was called LIFE, I liked the show. It is the first time I have watched the show so there was some underlying stuff that I didnt understand but I liked the main actor very much. I had liked his performance in the movie Dreamcatcher.

On a side not I like the new DigitalTV that we have in the sunroom but being an avid fast channel surfer has slowed me down because changing channels takes more time.

Anyways, I was lazy as hell this morning at watched a bunch of podcasts that I had been downloading this weekend. I really like that DemocracyNow! podcast. Those TED conferences are also really good but I have like 20 new ones to watch and they are like 20min each. I have been trying to watch one a day unless it is really boring.

Ugg

Ugg, this weekend I have been helping out with pictures for soccer. It was like 5,000 kids last weekend. It was kind of crazy but it would have gotten so behind if me and my girlfriend was not there. You could tell she was having a blast, I was having less fun than she was for sure. I remember when I was a little tike and it was really crazy. I was telling everyone to come into the gym and cather there team together. I remember back in the day when you would go to one of these things and there would be people in the hallways, outside, and near the photo area and no one would know where anyone would be.

I did not get very much stuff done this weekend but I watched the Bears beat the Eagles. I also went to a mall on Saterday after the soccer stuff and in there a lady approached me and my g/f and ask if we wanted to do a survey. They said they would pay her for trying a facial lotion after like 10days. Then she asked for me if there was anything they had for me and they did.

They had me watch a Max Paine trailer. It looked okay but the old CRT was really really bad and the speakers they had were really quite. They asked me a buch of questions about the trailer and if I would go to see it and that kind of thing. I think I would have been harder on the movie if I remember that the movie trailer I watched earlyer was R. I have seen too many bad PG-13 action movies based on vidoe games/comic books. I dont really remember if they said they would pay me but it was fun just giving my opinion about it because I could not be wrong. Best kind of test.

Anyways I gotta get back to work.

Hello World!

Hello World!!!

I have been reading a lot about Linux on the interweb and I really like their philosophy of it being free and community supported.

I downloaded the .iso of the long term version of Ubuntu that just came out this year. It was originally for my g/f laptop computer because she thinks it keeps shutting down randomly because of VISTA.

After looking around for about a week and that is the amount of time for me to want to walk away from Windows and other OS's. I really wish gaming was better on Ubuntu and linux in general but I just feel like I need to support the open source community.

I have also been hating on Apple because I got an 5.5gen ipod and I really hate how you have to only use itunes for it. I put on rockbox so I could put on a custum version of software so that I could play .flac flies on it and so that I dont have to use itunes. I can use whatever I want. I have also been liking Songbird. I can load my rockbox ipod on it and its mad by the firefox people so you know it cant be that bad.

Go go open source.

LOL, PS I have been wanting to put XMBC on my xbox but I have not found the time for it.

Later, (That has been enouph procrastinating today. Time to get back to work)
