Yay to shooting down prop 93 and ousting legislators who spend more time trying to keep themselves in power than making California a better place! -

Work has been muy slow lately. With all this rain and cold not a lot is going on. I suppose that's a good thing for everybody, but it can make for some longer nights.
I've gotten over my cold and actually had a really fun and busy weekend (Fri/Sat). Friday was a going away party for a couple of guys at the station. We went to the Yardhouse in ( Read more... ) -

The snot is never-ending. It's like a faucet. I have to be reaaaal careful because if I don't catch when I sneeze, I blow snot all over my desk / book / bed / clothes. All in all, although this cold won't go into the annals of my worst colds ever, it is one of the wettest.

My excuse is only that I was having difficulty scanning my line artwork and then picking the black lines off the page with an invisible background. My set goal this morning was to create a process ( Read more... ) -
Hard Drives
I made a prediction a couple years ago that said hard drives would grow to such a large size that you could begin to ignore the size of a file and concentrate only on what files you wanted to have. We are pretty much there:
Western Digital "Green Power" 1 TB Drive

I posted a week ago about the car chase/foot pursuit caper. Well, I got some more info on the guy and everything is starting to make a lot more sense. Turns out he is a 2-striker and it is not impossible that he will get his 3rd based on the events of the chase. I also spoke with the red light camera guy (he blew one of the lights that takes your ( Read more... )
