The server is almost ready for deployment. I had to take everything apart and upgrade. God, I hate my stupid camera phone it sucks so bad that I am going to have to buy a new one.

TB shot for PaulCategory: walk
I took the subway to Roswell from Utica. I was the only person in the stop - it was freaky.
View toward south campus
View toward Downtown
I home from getting a TB shot at the place I will soon call work. I find it overly depressing at Roswell. I hope that where I work it will be slightly more isolated from the hospital portion because I think the sadness might overwhelm me otherwise.
I go my last TB shot and go in for the results on Wednesday. If I don't have TB, which I expect that I don't I will be all set to start work. Walking home from work only takes 20 minutes. I just go down Allen to Franklin and then straight down Linwood.
Although the trees are bare, it is so warm out. All the snow is gone and I didn't realy even need a jacket.
For some reason all of the businesses at the corner of Main and Allen are vacant including the corner store that was there.
I always wonder what this staircase went up to before it was the edge of a blacktop parking lot. The address was 295 Franklin maybe.
I wish my camera was no in 256 color mode!!

Kostas and the lamb racketCategory: food
We ate the tasty fresh Calamari at Kostas again.
Has anyone else noticed that the price of rack of lamb has skyrocketted. It started at like $9.99 about 2 years ago and it seems like every other month it goes up. Even at Wegman's the raw price is way over $10.00. Tonight at Kostas it was $19.99, which is ridiculous for a not so fancy restaurant. I guess I did get a $55 rack at (e:mikes) gratuation party but that place was definately not a diner.
I got the turkey club in the end. Now that I completed the mobile XHTML version, I can write more again.

Buying Computers and fixing carsCategory: shopping
(e:mike), (e:terry), (e:matthew) and I went shopping for a christmas computer for my parents and an imac for us. They ran out of imacs at crapusa so we ended up with the mac mini. For the parents we got an HP mini comp. Maybe now they can get DSL and actually get online.
For both computers it was so hard for me to buy a not cutting edge comp. It's amazing how cheap a non-server, non 3D graphics computers can be. I wanted to buy them one at Computers for Children but (e:mike) said no. He wanted new, namebrand, and warranty.
In the picture of our car, you can see the missing tire. Hopefully, the axel is all ok.
Has anyone noticed that Bestbuy super plaza on Niagara Falls Blvd is insane. I remember when I was a kid it was a field, now there are multiple football field sized stores and one of the largest parking lots in Buffalo.

Serious Drama2Category: estrip
So I woke up today to discover that something I programmed back in 2003 broke which meant that all the journals got set back to 1969. It was horrible, luckily I had evertything backed up in various formats but I spent the entire day working on it. I got to fix up the old stuff to use the new format which is great but right now the next ten button is broken and it will just have to be that way because everyone will freak out on me if I don't stop now.
--update: If I had only checked my email earlier I would have seen that (e:twisted) had sent me a heads up about this way before I realized what was going on.

hey - the time stamp seems to show when the post was last modified instead of
originated. Your journal goes from 11/25 to 11/19 and back to 11/25. Looks like a
bunch of journals got "touched" on 11/25.

Thank you for working so hard on estrip, (e:Paul)! I know it is a lot of hard work and we all appreciate what you do. Sorry everything took so long to fix, (e:Terry) and (e:Matthew)!!!

hey paul,
when i had my tb test i actually came back positive. they tried to put me on some heavy duty meds for like a year! but what they didn't understand is that since i was born in poland, i had a vacination for tb and that is why i was probably testing positive. they tried to tell me that even if i did have the vaccine it would have worn off by now. but i personaly think they are full of shit.
ps. the vaccines were never used here because they were thought to be not very effective. who knows.
