Went out and got some new chairs. They are very comfy. Also saw this
amusing sign slapped on top of a forsale sign someone had put on
a street sign:
help us remove ugly signs, sign.
It’s a sign for
CAUSS.
I hope I see more of them. 🙂
Ran all my errands yesterday. One of them was looking for some new
kitchen/dining room chairs. Mine are starting to fall apart, and
my dad sent me some money for Christmas to go and get some new
ones. It seems they don’t make what I am looking for. The two
competing things are: comfortable and no casters. Any dining
room chairs with no casters are super uncomfortable, and any
comfy chairs with nice backs have casters. I guess I will end up
sucking it up and going with comfortable but casters. Casters
annoy me some, but not as much as sitting in a uncomfortable
chair.
Joined some folks at Ephraim’s near boulder for dinner. They have a
darn fine Chile Verde there. This time it was a good deal hotter
than the last time I was there, but it was still very
flavorful. I would provide a link, but Ephraim’s is a no net
zone. I can only find one thing on google that refers to
it. It’s not even in the Qwestdex. Oh well, more good Mexican
food for me.
Dinner ran pretty late, so I didn’t make it up to watch Big Lebowski
and drink Caucasians. Just relaxed at home the rest of the
evening.
Watched two movies last night (I got about 4 netflix in at once). The
first was
Chicago. I had
heard many good things about it, so I stuck it on the rental
list a long time back. It was ok. There were a few really good
musical numbers, but some very ‘eh’ ones. Overall I would have
to say it was overrated by those who recommended it.
Secondly was
Bulletproof Monk.
I wasn’t expecting much from it, but it was one of those fun to watch
once and turn off your brain. Not something I would view again,
but it was a good waste of an hour or two.
I really like my Blackened Shrimp and Linguine dish. It turns out good
pretty much every time, it’s not too hard to make and it’s also
mostly good for you.
Now to head out and run a ton of errands…
Had a very nice time yesterday at
Boulder Hacking Society
dinner and meeting. Jafo and Ant came down to Boulder from
Fort Collins to join us. I think we had about 12 people at the
caffe at one point. Took some pictures of all the
geeks.
Swapped the new computer into place as my main scrye.com
machine. Seems to be doing fine. A P4 2.8ghz machine is way
overkill for email and such, but I can also use it to do builds
on and so forth. At least it seems more stable than the old
one.
Today is a pretty nifty day. Our client that has the cobalt raq’s
finally has finished moving all the sites off them and we have
them turned off finally. Hurray! Dave the foster dog goes to his
new home later today. Hurray! And it’s friday. 🙂
Got my new computer in today. Pretty fast. I ordered it monday and
only paid for 3 day shipping, and got here today. It seems like
a pretty nice machine. P4 2.8ghz with 512m ram, 160gb hd. Has a
nice video/sound/network builtin and has compact flash, sd,
firewire all built in. Got it setup and am running burnin on
it. It’s not perhaps as fast as it should be. I need to tweak
the BIOS settings perhaps. Should make quite the overkill for
replacing my former main server. If it works out well I might
get another one to replace the mp3/dvd box.
In other news, looks like Dave is going to get adopted this weekend. Hurray!
