I woke up this morning and thought I was back in Chicago when I saw all the snow! It snowed all day yesterday and again last night. We got stuck in it on the way back from the computer show, philadelphia people do not know what to do in snow! Everybody was doing like 10 mph on the fucking turnpike and causing accidents.
So I get back to the house and start shoveling the driveway so that we can actually get the car to the garage. I hate having a long driveway because by the time I got to the end of it, the first part I cleared is already covered in snow again! I haven't seen this much snow since I left Chicago, so I was like a little kid out there playing in it.. lol. I just can't believe that in Philly they consider over a foot snowed in! NOTHING over here is open! I can't even go to the store to buy eggs and bacon for breakfast! I'm sure my friends in the midwest would be laughing if they saw philly right now.
So anyway.. the computer show sucked! These people were selling shit at just below retail price! I had to haggle with them just to get memory at a decent price. So all I bought was a ton of connectors, screws, and misc. parts that I needed, a couple 100 disc CDR spindles, a gig of memory for my main computer, and a USB 2.0/Firewire hard drive enclosure for client backups. I think the only cool thing at the show was the biometric and voice security booth where they were giving demos of all the latest technology. I have found the best backup software I've ever used though. All of my fellow geeks nedd to check out Acronis True Image
This software fucking rocks! I was able to clone my hard drive in less than 25 minutes! They also have an incremental disk imaging tool which is great for ongoing client backups. I'm still impressed with the disk cloning tool though.. I saved about 8 hours of work by using it to clone my drive instead of doing a fresh install of everything on my new hard drive.
There are some really hot sets going up lately! vivisect, Ink, Genevive, and now fenchurch! I've been spending way too much time on this site lately!

You think Philly is bad with snow? Try Califonia in the rain. It's like people become insane. They think "Wow, what dangerous conditions. I know, I'll drive much faster so I'm not stuck in these bad conditions as long...." and then they proceed to drive 90mph through standing water!!!! Retarded! Luckily, it's about 70 degrees and sunny today. We had some really bad accidents a couple of weeks ago when it was raining so hard.
Just because!!!
