There's nothing quite as nice as getting home early from work. (Until you see your check that is.) Because it was so oppressively hot at work, I decided to skip getting my full time and left as soon as my area was clean. Normally, I'd do something else in the hub or take someone else's spot so they can go home. Tonight I didn't feel like it and ( Read more... )

I'm currently testing out the damaged Linksys Wireless-G card without the Linksys software installed. I only installed the drivers and let Windows XP handle everything else. Setting up the network was actually easier and I am running it secured with WPA-PSK. My computer hasn't crashed yet (more tests will be needed) but for the moment so far, so ( Read more... )

It turns out someone else in the neighborhood also has wireless. Unlike my wireless network, their network is unsecure and very open. In fact I'm connected to their network now and I'm getting decent wireless access, with my Wireless-B card. I had planned to turn on my network later today to chat with cwtyger upstairs, but this free wireless is ( Read more... )

Finally the wireless router and wireless card are working. Getting the wireless router set up was the easy part. However, updating it with 3rd party firmware did not go so well as the new versions of the router don't work well with 3rd party stuff. I did find a workable firmware (dd-wrt micro) but after I flashed my router the internet refused ( Read more... )

I'm procrastinating on my assignment that's due for design for journalists tomorrow morning. Actually it's due in a little over 12 hours from now and I haven't started yet. The assignment doesn't seem to be too hard, but I don't fully understand it. I am supposed to draw up three thumbnails for a newspaper spread design project due in March. I' ( Read more... )

It's amazing, after feeling crappy for most of the day yesterday, I actually woke up feeling good today. Although I wish I had more weekend left ( Read more... )

Once again, my weekend is over. While it was slightly more productive than last week, I still didn't get as much done as I wanted to. I have several assignments due at the end of the week, and I'm not even close to completing them. I have one essay due in intro to magazines and a magazine cover (created in Photoshop) due in design for ( Read more... )

I never did get around to mentioning all of my classes. The final class, audio visual news gathering is the only class that I have to attend on Mondays and Wednesdays. Except for size, it doesn't feel too different from the audio aspects of the writing for broadcast class that I took last semester. Twice a week we meet in the classroom for ( Read more... )

Tonight was an early night at work and I had no idea what to do with myself. So I spent a good 40 minutes in the parking lot chatting with co-workers who also didn't want to leave right away. When I got home, I more or less decided to play Bloody Roar on the GameCube for a while. My tender thumb is now sore from the controller so I decided to ( Read more... )

I suppose since it's been a week since I've updated, I can give a quick snapshot of how life is going, other than the foster child problem ( Read more... )
