I woke up not feeling so good today. I went to my morning class (math) and then came home and went to bed for about 4 hours. I feel a lot better after sleeping, but still kinda crummy. Tomorrow is my long day (at school) so I hope I feel better by tonight so I can get a good/full night's sleep!

I'm thinking about buying...

I overslept, missed my morning class (math), and generally just don't feel like doing anything today. Unfortunately for me, I have two important homework assignments due tomorrow...

Oh, and I'm also out of Mt. Dew!

In my computer security class today we were surprised by a pop quiz.

It was a single sided piece of paper and at the top was a message that had been enciphered with a Caesar Cipher. Our quiz was to, in less than 20 minutes, decipher the message! Well I haven't even read that chapter yet (yeah, I know...) and was freaking out. Making matters...

I wish there was a men's tank-top in the SG shop. I love the unisex shirt (have two of them), but there definitely needs to be a men's tank-top!

I've started playing with GTK+ in Windows after I found a nice guide on how to set up Visual Studio to work with GTK+. Haven't really done much other than a few simple test programs, but...

I got the Gentoo KVM server working really well (still needs more RAM though). I set up a virtual machine (Ubuntu server) to run a private KForge install, got it working with GIT, and put some of my personal projects on it. Next I'm going to be looking at maybe setting up Bugzilla so I can keep track of TODO/bugs on my projects as when...

I suppose it was bound to happen eventually: vacation is over and I go back to school tomorrow...

This quarter I'm taking math, computer security (a 400-level class, so I'm sure it will be fairly in-depth), and computer languages and automata (also a 400-level).

I'm guessing difficulty-wise this will NOT be an easy quarter...

So I've been giving some thought towards buying a sailboat instead of a house when I finish school. Maybe I'm crazier than I think, but it sounds like a brilliant idea the more I think about it.

To ease the transition I figure I would rent mooring space here in town for a year before cutting ties and sailing. There are lots of issues to...

Just got back home from a trip to Everett Tattoo Emporium. The wifey got some more work done on her sleeve-in-progress. Starting to come along very nicely!

Work on the VM server continues. Got a test WinXP, Win7, and Ubuntu guest OSs installed. It's been several days and so far no additional issues with crashing/errors (knock on wood!) I was going to install a copy...

Got my hair and beard cut last night. Now I no longer look like a hobo. Although I was starting to enjoy the length of the beard as it looked very pirate-like. I was overdue though and my head feels so nice now that it can breathe!

So I had two hard crashes with the VM server a couple of days ago. Since then I've...

So I dug out the old web server from out of the attic and am in the process of setting it up as a dedicated VM server to reduce the use/load on my desktop.

I figured why let it sit in the attic and go to waste? It's a dual-dual core Opteron (2 x Opteron 2222 = 4 cores) @ 3.0GHz and I had a...
