Credenza

After Christmas Post

I spent Christmas in Nebraska, and had a good time other than getting sick. I finally finished my book, and gave copies away as gifts to my family.

I'm back in Laramie and back to work now. Last night I put together my new piece of furniture; a credenza / buffet. I still haven't decided on the exact placement for it.

The cowboys finally return home with a game tomorrow afternoon.

New Rancid ... B sides and C sides

I finally got rancid's new B sides and C sides. Hopefully it can keep me entertained until the new album comes out.

Dropkick Murphys Tickets

I just bought tickets to see the Dropkick Murphys on March 5th in Denver...

Christmas shopping is done.

I mailed out all of the gifts I needed to mail today, and have all the gifts I am going to give.

Now we play the waiting game...

Geekisms

I enjoy reading and collecting "Geekisms" as I call them, and thought I'd share some with you ... Let me know if you have any others.

There’s no place like 127.0.0.1

There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Updates ...

Well Vista has been OK. It is slower when working with files over a network. I tried to copy a few MB worth of files from one network share to another, and it sat for over 5 minutes "calculating the time required". I clicked cancel and logged into XP, and had it done in a few seconds. I also sometimes get errors when I try to rename a file on a network share saying that the folder doesn't exist. Other than those two big issues it has been fine.

In other happenings I have my Christmas shopping completed. I'm hoping I can get the gifts out by Christmas, but they have to arrive to me first.
