When wearing my computer repair hat I like Microsoft Windows because I make more money from it thanks to all the malware/viruses out there, but damn I'm getting sick of cleaning up other people's shit. Good thing I charge hourly!

Just a few simple things and a little bit of time can save people from having to call me: install a decent anti-virus program. There...

So I skipped class today. I stayed up way too late working on two client computers (both are infected with malware) and one is a "rush" job. When 6 am rolled around and that alarm clock started beep'n, I decided it was way too soon and figured two more hours of sleep sounded better than sitting through History of ancient Asia with only 4 hours...

Ralph Waldo Emerson's "The American Scholar" was today's text in class. A strange, but interesting piece written specifically for a club of Harvard students back in 1837. Instead of spending half the time lecturing and half the time discussing, today the prof decided to do something else entirely.

When it rains it pours. Last week I had no business what-so-ever and this week I've had three virus/malware computers to fix at the same time. Not that I'm complaining, but it would be nice if these things could space themselves out a little bit!

That in itself isn't a problem, the problem is they are people who don't really have the money to pay someone, in the case me, an amount that...

The bottom left side of my jaw has been hurting for about a week and I think it has gotten a lot better in the last few days. Last night it was bugging me when I went to bed so I took two Tylenol PMs.. that shit knocked me out, which is fine, but damn it makes it hard to wake up in the morning....

I love and hate school at the same time. Is that normal? I have no idea... To finish my BA in History I have 23 upper-division credits left. That's like, what, 6 classes? The thing is I don't think I can do it because I'm burned out on History.. The only solution I see is to minor in Computer Science (since that's what I really...
