Geoffrey [inlink]paul,2491[/inlink] knocked some guy out giving him a massage in our living room. I don't really know him and he is snoring. Geoffrey thinks it would be funny to decorate him with flowers. The kid is the same guy in (e:flacidness) 's journal [inlink]flacidness,113[/inlink]

But I am posting it for (e:matthew) because I know he will love it. They are original recoridng from records that came out at the beginning of the last century.

I have so much to do. I have letters to write still, a thesis to write, a new server to find, etc. I can;'t believe a whole day slipped by without me updating. I was still recovering from the weekend.

servers
I am sick of service that isn't stable. Sometimes it is so fast, sometime it is so slow. There is no way for me to test anything when the conditons are so variable. I am going to get my own server very soon. I just need to cover the $144 start up fee. Then it is $104/month which is essentially the same cost that I am paying for adelphia at home $59.99 + the server I am using now $39.95. The difference being that I can have the server running at home which would make life much more fun, but would require that I have it running 24/7. Imagine being able to backup a server with an external hardrive instead of FTP. It isn't that important for most sites, but when you cross into the GB range, it become a must. Plus, I can develop without having to ever upload changes. I predict it would save me somewhere around 10-15 hours a week.

soyeon
Soyeon, contacted me to get her old journals back, apparently when she pressed erase some 300 times she forgot to save a copy. I was really weirded out to get an IM from her, let alone one asking for a favor. I found all the ones up to the month she deleted them. I was going to give them to her nicely, but then I changed my mind because I remember how annoying she was and didn't feel like I owed her anything. Maybe, I would sell them to her, maybe not.

Apple
Apple is lame. [inlink]nicholas,67[/inlink] I could have told anyone that their processors sucked. Doesn't it make you sick that it was all a lame advertising propaganda campaign that made you pay more for the laptop processor that sucks. I had a powerbook for years. I had a bunch of them up to the Powerbook G4. They all sucked and they were all hot. Then I got a centrino, it was amazing, great battery life, fast speed, quiet fan. I love it. It has been two years now that I have been happy. And now that apple is just a pretty "skin" will Apple sell Mac OS X for other intel based computers?

I finally got my letter accepting me as a graduation Candidate for 9/05. I also checked my final grades and it looks like I am going to be graduating with a 4.0. So now I am finishing a 60 credit Masters in Fine Arts, I have a huge portfolio full of great stuff , and years of experience.

It was definately worth it because I just accepted my dream job making $17,000/year at Canisius with no health benefits. It's about the same amount they paid me when I had only a undergraduate degree in German Language. Ironically, school cost more than that. They told me once again it might go full time in January. I am a sucker for stories aparently. They told me that one for four years now. I guess there is still hope the salary could go up.

It's sad because I had planned on using the money I made working full time and reinvesting it in this site. I just want it to be on a fast server so that my years of programming can be fully appreciated. I guess it will have to wait another year.

The reason this happend to me is because I don't want to work for some big corporation and I don't want to have to leave my home town. Where are all the non-profits that need designers and web techs. The going bid is $17,001, at this point, lol. Please someone rescue me before it is too late, I am truly capable of making anything happen on the web.

The taste of Buffalo is moving to Niagara Sqaure. I wonder what prompted the moving of the Taste of Buffalo?

That's right, the Taste is moving from the urban intimacy of Main Street to the wide-open plains of Niagara Square and Delaware Avenue. With City Hall as a backdrop point your compass North and you'll find restaurants, beverage tents and entertainment almost all the way to Chippewa Street! Enjoy the ample elbow room the new location provides as you sample old favorites and new tastes from many of Buffalo and Western New York's favorite restaurants!Quoted from: Taste of Buffalo

I really like their logo.
