Ok so the wife forced me to go to the emergency room at 4am this morning because my sore throat wasn't getting any better.
Turned out to be a good move. I have an infected saliva gland. Never heard of such a thing!
Anyway I have to take this horse pill sized antibiotic twice a day for a week. I feel worse today than I...

Oh fun.... keep taking those antibiotics, even if you feel better.
delaney:
Oh goodness. Those huge pills are never fun
I still feel like shit, but at least I can swallow now without feeling like I'm ripping my throat open.
It will be interesting (not) to see how much trouble I am in for being sent home after only 1 hour of work last night. I'll probably get another exception report. I already got one exception report for signing out keys without putting my badge...

This job sucks! Although at least I have a job, I guess, but it still sucks. After all the b.s. I could have taken a lower paying job and still came out ahead. Oh well, live and learn.
It blows that I have to stay there for 6 months or they'll make me pay back like $500 worth of licenses and training.
Oh and I...

Ouch! Hope things get better soon (or in 6 months time) and that your Christmas isn't all ruined. *hugs*
I started my second week of work last night. It was a little less hectic than last week, but only slightly. I guess I'll see how the next three nights go. 
They hired a new guy two days ago at the place I work so at least I'm not the lowest man on the totem pole. I also heard that there is a new person...

Life has been very busy lately! 
I got hired, full-time, doing security for a local business. They are very strict about certain things so I won't name the place. Let's just say it is an entertainment business with a hotel.
Anyway, the pay sucks, but after 6 months medical is completely paid by them (which is worth it for the pay difference) and dental is...

Hello So, I've decided to go through my friends list here on SG and see how many people on it are still active on the site and say Hello to the ones...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back!
That was a shitty 2 months with no money! There was a HUGE fuck up with my financial aid because 1) I attended two schools in the same calendar year, 2) One school's year started summer and the other ended Summer and I attended one of them during the Summer, 3) I already have a bachelor's degree which is confusing for them...

I have been giving some serious thought to giving up on a second bachelors degree (in computer science) at the university at going back to the community college and doing their fairly new (to me) computer forensics specialty in their criminal justice (2-year associates) degree.
I've completed about 3/4 of the CS degree and honestly I don't know that I really need two bachelors degrees....

Why are AVCHD (MTS) files such a pain in the ass to deal with?
I have an HD Sony camcorder that uses this format (which is a 15:1 compression ratio!) but there are not a lot of video editors out there that can PROPERLY handle it.
In the past I've used ffmpeg to convert it to DV and then edit in kino on Linux, but...

I've been thinking about saving up and buying an XRackPro 4U for my two 1U rackmount servers as one of them is intolerably loud - plus they suck in every bit of dust that passes near the planet...
Anyone have any experience with these cabinets? The specs claim 80% noise reduction and I'm wondering how close to that I can expect?

Hey peeps! I haven't been on SG much lately or anywhere else online for that matter. Been super busy!
Quick recap of the last month or so:
My Blue Fronted Amazon passed away from liver disease. He was only 12 and they are supposed to live for 60 - 80 years! :'-(
We are looking into adopting a baby Blue Fronted Amazon next month so...
