Another week is over and thank God for that! 
I don’t really have to many plans other than maybe washing my car, continue on my furniture hunting, The only definate think that I have on tap is tonight, apparently I have been invited by my friend Joy to attend the release party for the new Harry Potter book at Barnes & Noble. They have release parties for books now and not just movies? If I have any free time I have 3 broken computers that I need to res eruct with my “Electromancer skills” as Joy and April put it and my guild wants me to fix some bugs on our site. We shall see if I actually get to those last bits. In other news the new episodes for Battlestar Galactic, Stargate-SG1, and Stargate Atlantis are on tonight Wh00t!!!! 
FYI when working a shift of phone technical support it is NOT fun at all to be nice and polite to callers when the building’s A/C is down! With that said off to work I go.
Well, we have put down the down payment for the apartment and the manager checked on all of us with our employers and she let Eric know over the phone that we have secured the lease on the apartment when it opens up in a few weeks!

Over at Michael Heilemann’s Binary Bonsi he announced the alpha release of the sequel to Kubrick. I have decided to assist in the testing process because i have become quite a fan on his uber graphics skills and I keep finding that all of the themes that I try or look at it are based off of the Kubrick theme in some way.

This is probably a bit of a cliche but I just wanted to wish everyone here in the United Stats a Happy 4th, of July and to express my hope that this time next year will bring a better outlook on the world than we have on this day with threats and dangers seemingly on every front. we live in hard times but we have faced worse before and we were able to overcome them and I have every hope that we can overcome our current difficulties. We shall see and until then everyone have a great time and take care of yourselves.
I was taking a break from my PL/SQL homework for CIS 528 and I came across this great quote in my away log from someone named OctalTHOR in the #freenode channel over on the Freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net) and I just thought I would share it with everyone. If this offenders you you need to lighten up and take a little humor thrown at those of us who thinks Microsoft and Windows leave much to be desired.

We had a hard drive failure this morning. they have replaced the hard drive and cloned the entire operating system for free! I have one week left in my summer intersession and I have survived so far. O+In other news I have added some more spam protection on here even though the default settings seem to do the job. it never hurts IMO as they keep changing their tactics. I will update for real when I have time and I’m not so tired.
There was a security vulnerability that required some minor updates so I upgraded just to be safe. Everything seems to working so onward!
Just to let you all know that I’m not dead. The reason that I’ve been so busy lately is because of my decision to take another compressed semester class this summer. This summer I am experiencing the ‘joy’ of CIS 528 which is basically an advanced course in databases and database administration with some net fusion and web development stuff thrown in so the can technically refer to this as a course in web application development. At any rate the course is at least interesting and the professor that was is teaching knows his stuff and if the homework was not so damn time consuming I would actually enjoy dragging me ass out of bed so early in the morning and slogging through another day in class so I can then get a quick lunch thrown into my gullet than racing off to another shift on the phones. I shouldn’t really bitch as I choose to do this to myself and the class is only for a few more weeks so not all is lost but what fun is that?

It’s been a few days since I got back from Andy and Crystal’s wedding and I have had time to collect my thoughts on it but unfortunately there are no pictures yet but I promise to get them up as soon as I can get ahold of them or the DVD of the wedding and reception that the DJ is supposed to be making (he had enough shiny tech toys to make me jealous ). How did the weekend go your probably wondering, well, it was fantastic and everything went off without a hitch( as far as Andy and Crystal know 
)! Emily, Jason, and myself all worked our asses off to make sure that everything went along smoothly as possible to keep everyone from freaking out too much.

I would just like to state that working TWO full time jobs at any time freaking sucks! This isn’t the first time I have done this during the summer, but I must be getting old because I just can’t wake up in the morning without hitting the snooze tons and now I have 3 or more alarms set around my room that go off at different times so I HAVE to get my butt out of bed to make them stop. Oh well it will be worth it when I have my own place in a little while!
Trying to figure out these dang 406 errors when running mod_security and WordPress so ignore this please.
Well, today I go and pick up my monkey suit and then head to work. Afterwords I race him to grab my stuff before Andy and I head to Pilot Grove (map). I will let you know how it all went and maybe post some photos. Catch ya later.
I wish I had some more free time this summer to participate in a niffty new program from the folks over at Google. All hail the Google Overloard Masters!
