Cable modem has been wonderfully re-installed. They took the RCA. They dropped off a Motorla Surfboard. Dig it. No more multiple IP’s. They say that if customers want to run their own network, they can, they just need to get a router and set up NAT themselves. *blink* They’re not only allowing it, they’re encouraging it.

Anyone want to recommend a decently-priced multi-port router with NAT for me?

Oh. And I have an interview for a tech job on Saturday with GarbCo, 7-Eleven’s parent company. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

There’s a slight pressure originating from inside my noggin that presses outward. This is a grogginess thing that usually goes away when I take a shower. I should take a shower.

I’ve removed Linux from my machine. I’m sorry, , but RedHat 7.2 just wasn’t working like I needed it to. One of my main apps looks like it will only run under windows, and I don’t really want to go to the trouble of having both OS’s on a 6-gig drive. I’d have to log out for the damn thing to unmount my zip drive as well. Just too much.

Today is likely to be a bit of a tilt-o-whirl. Hopefully the cotton candy and hot dogs won’t come back up on me. I swear there’s something wierd about this . Heheheheheh.

said she’d fork me. But only if I pissed her off. Day-umn! :)

Linux has made me realize how much of an American I am. I am getting all fussy because things are different from the way I’m used to them. Because they’re foreign to me. Some people say that configuring Linux and dealing with the oddities is fun. I think they’re insane. It’s hell. But it is worth it. The ability to smoothly move among different platforms and different cultures is much more gratifying than the ease of having everything be the same. Windows and Mac os’s (9 and X… they’re really completely different countries) isn’t enough. I need to be worldly in my OS familiarity.

I need to shave.

I didn’t get any cleaning or shopping or writing done yesterday. Grrr. Today is the StoryTeller meeting. I should really get it done today.

I’m going to a rave soon. >:) Check this out. It’ll be the first in a long time. E-mail me if you’re planning on going. :) *hop*

I got a friendship bracelet yesterday. First time since I was, like, ten. It’s purple and black and dark blue. The same colors as the only “candy bracelet” I have. I also got two letters, one wich struck me speechless.

It’s a beautiful day outside. Overcast, light rain, with an alternating menacing darkness. It’s threatening to thunderstorm, and I’m calling it out. We need the rain pretty badly.

The new ethernet card works perfectly and is TINY. Did a net install of Linux, and it flew. RedHat 7.2, Gnome, and Ximian. Red Carpet is the b0mbx0r or something. I’m still stuck in the days where funky text was capitalizing either every other letter or just the vowels. This number shit is wacky. Heh. Anyway, the computer is happily running, and I’m wondering if I can do structural damage with my six-year-old dead ethernet card.

Laundry and AfterNow were good. The marinated pork chops and potatos were very tasty. I have enough left overs for at least two more meals, maybe three.

The is getting posts again. I did some pretty good writing for it last night. Yay for melodrama! :)

Tonight, after work:
-Oil change for the car.
-Purchase a hat.
-Wash dishes.
-Clean bathroom.
-Set up printer and Wine (windows environment for Linux) and cross my fingers.

This morning, I was riding on cloud nine.
By noon, 12:30, I was pissed off and felt like I was pulled in 80 directions at once.
Now, I’m calm.

You know, when iMacs first came out back in the day, I made fun of a good friend of mine constantly for its shape and how it looked. Now I own one. Granted, the bondhi color sucked, and the newer ones were better-colored, had better keyboards, and better mice… but damn. I think OS X makes all the difference in the world. OS 9 just *feels* clunky compared to OS X.

Kind of like how Windows feels compared to Linux. Think I may buy a network card this weekend sometime. I want to get that fucker updated.

I plan on overdosing on LARP this weekend. I dare someone to make a comment on LARPers. Bring it.

Argh, moods, emotiions, asthetics, lines, curves, reflections of light, clouds of shadow…

Fuck it, Dude. Let’s go bowling.

Verified:

Ethernet cable good.
PCI slots good.
All four IPs are set up and active on AT&T Broadband’s end.

Conclusion:

My 5-year-old ethernet card has kicked the bucket. I must stop by Discount PC for a new card. Mother beetches.
