Big bad oops

ok   so like.. I’ve been real bad so far about posting here to the blog since I’ve been home…but worse yet, I remembered some people I just hate myself for leaving out of last weeks post… so My most sincere apologies to Trish, Patrice, and Ruben (the Sandwich). I know you are all unforgettable… how could I have??

 2 wedding receptions and a graduation party this weekend… how the hell’s a guy supposed to lose weight? Don’t think I’m gonna be happy w/ Weight Watchers meeting this week… I gotta get back on track….

 In addition, the whole web site needs to get my attention also. Since I’ve been back tho, i acquired a couple of projects to work on. One is Building a basic web site for some friends who opened a Pet motel.. it’s awesome… the motel, not the webpage.. webpage isn’t even close.

In addition I have an lcd to replace on a laptop for the stepdaughter and a friends laptop from work won’t boot and I have 2 weeks to fix it…. perfect.. I have an idea that might work.. lets hope it does, when I finally get time…

    Thats it for now.. I am tired and need sleep.  And in addition I’m tired and need sleep… and furthermore… I’m so tired if I don’t go to bed I’ll start repeating myself….. Goodnight, Goodnight.

Back to the Blog

 Yeah.. So.. I am back to the blog, and home and “ACK”.. work. A lot has happened over the last couple few weeks.  I want to start by thanking everyone in Norman for a great time. In no particular order ( ok, ladies first ) Vicky from Denver, Muffy and Mickey from Banghor, Maggie from Lancaster, Laurie from Hartford, Miss Amy and her hubby Dave from South Carolina, Don from South Jersey, Marty from Wilkes Barre, Glen from Manchester, John and George from Albany, Jeff from Michigan, Ron from Grand Junction, Mark from Wilkes Barre, and everyone else I can’t think of right now. A few of the guys have given me the idea to add a calendar of sorts to the Main website, for Norman Bound folks to let other party animals know when they’re scheduled for another working vacation. I like the idea, and will do my best to create it, and hope at least a few of us use it. ( I’m gonna anyways )

Quick updates :  I gained 4 pounds, then I lost 10. Then I didn’t go get weighed in.. so I fear going back. ( tomorrows the weigh in ).  The wife joined me in OK for my last week, and we decided to eat out at Toby Keith’s, Cattleman’s Steakhouse, Los Dos Amigos, and a BBQ up the street.  Needless to say, I did not stick to my diet.

Then :  We stopped at Branson Missouri on the way home… Ate like pigs at a Fancy Seafood joint, then ate like pigs again at Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede. Branson is a hopping place, much like the atmosphere of Orlando… I can’t wait to go back.

  Well thats it for now… Gotta get caught up on my sleep… it Ain’t easy…   More to write, but have to save it for another time.  Ya all come back now, ya hear?

Drinking Beer Takes Time

Yeah. The title speaks the truth. Drinking beer and playing in the pool has occupied so much of my time lately, theres just been nothing going on on the website. Priorities, ya know. I will not apologize! I had to say goodbye to a bunch of friends the last couple days. Old friends and new ones, it was the end of the week and at the end of every week, someone you know goes home. Ok, someone I know goes home. However you look at it, some people’s paid vacations to Norman, OK have ended. And here I sit.. Wastin away again in Beerville. (Wasn’t that a Jimmy Buffet tune?) Well, considering the diet thing I got goin on, I wish I was “wasting away”, but I don’t think thats happening. But like Jimmy Buffet and his song, It ain’t a bad place to be. And so I drink….and drink…and drink… and it’s light beer so I’m ok.
One of the guys from South Carolina has his wife here this weekend. Very nice. Smart, beautiful and a mother of 3 young ones. A real keeper if it wasn’t for the 3 kids, but then, they are his so I guess it’s not a deal breaker for him. Anyways, I enjoyed their company tonight, and I am sure I will tomorrow too. I really like her alot mainly cause she read my blog, bringing my readers all the way up to….2. Yeah I read my own blog occasionally. I like to go back and read what i wrote when I was slightly inebriated. the built in spellcheck didn’t kick in so i guess i spelled that right. Guess it’s not called spellcheck tho cause it didn’t like that word. Oh well. The stupid thing doesn’t flag “i” in lowercase. I guess that is a word.

Weight Watchers Update: Lost 2 pounds, weight watchers wasn’t mad after all. But that was Tuesday I went to WW and weighed in…. I’m pretty sure this coming tuesday will be a different story.

Blabbins over. And it’s not a word in my spellcheck either. Guess I’ll call it a night. Cya

Reference Webpages and Stupid Rules

Ok, so today wasn’t too bad. Had some troubleshooting of bugs in class, time flew pretty good… got to gab alot while waiting for more bugs. After lunch we had another lecture. It wasn’t as boring as yesterday. After school, (do I sound like a teenager?) ,I  got to weigh in at WeightWatchers (guess not )… lucky me, I only gained .6 lbs in the last week. ( It made me eat light tonight at dinner). So I also hung out at the pool, but damn clouds fought me the entire time and eventually they won out. So after dinner I read email, and added 3 reference type webpages to the Online Applications page, in the techy section of the website. They aren’t applications, but they are great reference pages, or starting pages. They are Wikipedia, Refdesk.com and Answers.com. Check them out.

 Now I get to rant just a wee bit about Stupid Rules. In the classroom over at the school, most of the rules are pretty straightforward and understandable. No drugs, no sleeping, show up on time, yadda yadda yadda. But of course there is at least one rule, which is just plain stupid. No reading materials allowed on your desk ( theres a spot for them under your desk you can place them ) except the course materials given to you pertaining to the class. There is a break room across the hall where you can read your personal material on breaks, if you so desire. Well I personally desire to read my Maximum PC magazine, but cannot at my desk, while waiting for bugs to troubleshoot, because (and I quote) “It looks bad” for people that might be touring the building. I think it would look better than it does now, with most of the students sitting around talking about everything from A-Z, waiting and waiting for bugs. So thats my feeling on that. Stupid Rules. More proof we should not always trust those who have power over us. Until Tomorrow…..Cya Later.

Beer

Ok.. So class was very boring today. Introductions, then safety BS, and then getting familiar with the machine. After Lunch  the entire lecture on Power supplies… Zzzzz..Wake up then head to the pool.. So here’s the real challenge. It’s 4 PM now, and I’ve gotta hit a weight watchers to weigh in. I’ve lost 17 lbs in the last 4 weeks prior to this last one, and I don’t want to put on more than 5 while I am down here. But.. I want to have my beer too.. Talk about rough.   So I put off weight watchers til tomorrow. Turns out theres a meeting in town at noon, I’m hoping I can go weigh in at that time… I’m dreading it.. Oh well.. Anyways, I spent tonite drinking beer by the pool with a bunch of old friends and a couple new ones. Cheers to you all, and, See you there tomorrow!! ( Someone keep the rain away ). Adios

Norman, OK

Well I made it in today to Club Fed. Got here right at 12 Noon OK time. Nice drive.

I immediately set to work getting the new wireless router going with the computers… after a bunch of work, and a reset to the cable modem, I got it to work. I immediately added the webcam of the pool to the Main Website, however it seems to not work as it should. Time will tell if it’s the network here in the hotel, or my new router.

Since the thunder and lightning chased me out of the pool early tonight, I got to add a few things to the website. I added a Virtual Machines section and an Updater section to the Free Geek Tools Page. also managed to add Drivers, Passwords, and Processes/Startups sections to the Online Tools Page.

I’ve had it for tonight. Have to be to school at 7AM. Goodnight, Peace Out.

Gigabeat

Got me a new Toshiba Gigabeat today. My virtual Xp running on my Vista laptop doesn’t like it. I fought with it all day, but finally got Vistas Media player 11 to see it and sync with it…I think. I don’t like WM11 much. My other xp laptop synced with it with toshibas software… I finally got it working with both of them once i used the cradle… before that.. it was impossible.. Oh well, learn something everyday. I created my Special Bob Ustream account, from which I hope to be streaming live video from my hotel room of the pool in the upcoming weeks. I will be spending time in Norman, OK getting training for my job as an electronics tech with the post office. I plan on spending alot of time at the pool, which is the norm for me 🙂

 As for the website, I only got to add some malware links to the geek pages. I added links for Spyware blaster, spybot search and destroy, ad-aware, and a-squared free. My cyberdefender link appears to not be working… ihope thats temporary.  Well  thats it for tonight..
