I think I found a mate
Category: mobile

So after deciding that life cannot go on with the nokia's lame camera, and speaking with (e:chris) I decided that I might need a Sprint PPC 6700

The problem is that I am not sure if I want to go with sprint and that the phone really kind of ugly. I need to go check it our tomorrow.

At first I thought oh how lame that its a window mobile but then I realized that my whole life is about to goes windows style so why not just embrace it.

I don't know much about mobile phones but maybe you should look into ones not made by phone service companies. For example I keep seeing an add for an LG phone that is a camara and has a note pad. I also remember seeing someone a couple years ago with what looked like a cell phone but it poped open and had a key pad and screen. I know there are companies that make phones but don't offer service. That way you can get the phone you like the most with out being comited to a service plan.

The Server Has Risen
Category: estrip

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 Paul
Category: 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!!

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.

Kostas and the lamb racket
Category: 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 cars
Category: 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.
