School's started again, and it looks at least one of my classes is shaping up to be very, very interesting ("Survey of optimization methods"). So, that's exciting. This is also my last semester of full-on classes. Over the summer, I have a 3-credit (9 hour/week) project, and a 1-credit (2 hours/week) project. They're related, so that'll make life easier.
I would recommend putting your own machine together. Look around at different sites and see what they are putting into their gaming cores, and you should be able to get one going fairly cheap. I built mine a few years ago from local shops and places like tigerdirect.com, and newegg.com. After getting the rebates, it cost me less then $100.00 total
After sleeping in and going for a run on Saturday (I'm gonna try to run on the weekends now, too), I'm going to get my haircut. My weekend is chock full of surprises.
Ha ha ha not creepy, thanks, not too sure whats going on with it. Hopefully my weeks will start to pick up, the last few have been pretty quiet...I get bored too easily.
Ok, I'm back from the Northeast. Man, that place is cold! Someone told me I 'couldn't know' what the cabin fever of a New England winter was like. Tht's not 100% true; a Tucson summer means you don't go outside much, either. Still, I think I'd rather be too hot than too cold.
School starts on Thursday. Just one more semester of 'regular' classes, then... Read More
Got the OK from the new bossman to take Wed-Fri off for the memorial service in New Hampshire for my uncle. That's sort of making it finally sink in... he's gone. Not that we were that close, so I'm not weeping all over the place, but I am going to seriously miss him. This isn't gonna be a fun week.
My uncle, and my mother's only full sibling, died tonight. He had metastasized throat cancer. The family had been expecting it to a degree, but you never fully expect it. And he was reacting well to chemo. My poor mother. My poor aunt.
on an uncomfortably unrelated note, i'd think it was hot if my husband asked me to take shirtless photos of him for a softcore porn site & would ask if he wanted noodz.
Well, so. Back from Seattle, for a visit to the 'rents, with the in-laws tagging along. It was just getting to be too much family togetherness, when it was time to come back to San Francisco. Saw some old friends at what's becoming a holiday tradition-the 'rents throwing a small holiday party.
Why the hell is it that every time wifey and I say "we're having a quiet evening tonight" and that "we're going to bed early", we end up drinking till 4 am? Jesus Christ, you think we'd learn.
Anyway, old friends in town this past week. It's good to spend time with folks you haven't seen in a while. There's talk of a ski trip... Read More
Dear AT&T,
I love my iPhone. A lot. A lot a lot. A lot a lot a lot... well, you get the idea.
Sadly, when you tell iPhone users in San Francisco and Austin that their service sucks because they're using their phones too durned much, that points to a failing of yours, and not of ours. Maybe you shouldn't sign exclusive agreements with what... Read More
