Hooray, it’s Friday!

It’s the weekend tomorrow and I have no plans or ideas on what I’m going to do with it. Probably waste it like every weekend. Its supposed to rain so more than likely I’ll hermit in the house and read, watch TV and play City of Heroes. Maybe I can get enough people online to do that damn mission I can’t seem to finish with Kher-Minu. Though, I have to be honest, I most want to be able to do it with corwin75, but since he should be busy by Saturday (I hope, if all goes well), I doubt that he’ll be on. I’ll just have to keep my eye out for blu3warri0r.
Anyhoo, I had to work late again last night so I didn’t make it to the rec center but I WILL go today. Though it’s supposed to rain this evening so I may not go to Critical Mass afterwards like I had planned. I like riding and all, but riding in the rain sucks. I left my bike here yesterday specifically so I could go to Critical Mass a see how I feel meeting 30 new people, but if it’s gonna rain, I’ll have to wait until next month, even if it would imply that I could meet less than 30 people today because most would be chased off by the rain. Fuck it.
Damn I love my Nomad. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, and even with all the newer, cooler models out there, I still love mine. It’s got over 10,000 songs on it and still has almost 14GBs of free space. I can use it as an MP3 server and access it from anywhere over the internet (and you can too if I trust you enough to give you the access link and password – can’t hurt to ask, right?). I can carry it with me and if I can get the replacement car stereo I want, I’ll be able to listen to it in my car as well. It has a great battery life (like 8-12 hours of constant play time) and, well, it’s just damn cool. I mean there are a couple of things that would be nice if they worked better, but I’ve never regretted buying it. Screw Ipod, I’m a hermit with a Nomad!
This week’s been kinda wierd I guess. Steve is gone as of Thursday for Paternity leave and Kiki is now working full time for us (well, full time = Tues/Thurs 8 hours). The lab has been pretty good and what hasn’t worked lately, I’ve been fortunate in being able to fix to some degree. I’ve felt more productive and accomplished in there than I have in a while. I finally found the solution to an application not running from even before the semester started and found a workable work-around to a recurring, but not consistent printing problem.
I just discovered some cooler features in Mozilla and as soon as I updated to FireFox, they went away. Fortunately, I found a source that tole me how to re-enable it, though I’m not sure it works because I haven’t seen it happen since I upgraded. We’ll see I guess. I won’t miss the feature, but it sure was nice.
