Photo Proof of my Awesome

Technically this a picture from yesterday but since I got a chance to break out my work awesome again this morning I thought it was apropreate. This is the PLC that a programmed into submission yesterday. Would of been even quicker if they would have just accepted that I was correct the first three times I told them where the problem was. What ever will be will be.

The day started before yesterday ended with the midnight showing of the IMAX version of The Dark Knight. I liked it a lot. I want to post spoilers but will hold back.

Got home at about 3 and desided that I would dial in and check out the upgrade that was performed in Los Angelas. This was the first time I had been in there system since I rebuilt my laptop a couple of months ago and I could not find the system description anywhere. So after a while I sent out an info request and got to bed a little after 4.

I ended up waking up at 6:30 and could not fall back to sleep. I checked my email and found the info that I needed so that I was able to checkout the upgrade and verify operation.

I then watched BWE, Doctor Who, and Stargate: Atlantis before heading out.

I participated in day one of a two day playtest at Microsoft. I can't say what I was doing there and I should not even mention this but there is a condom in involved.

After the playtest I ended up hooking up with Q for Dairy Queen, George, Dr Horrible, and Ivar's. In that order actually.

Still reading A ConfederaCY of Dunces. It is still the best sleep aid ever and still not making me laugh out loud till my belly aches and my eyes water.

Dark Knight on a dark night

Currently in the Imax theater waiting for Dark Knight.

Got up early to get some stuff done before I had to go to a troubleshooting trip. I rocked the trip though and solved there problem with my code nijitsu.

Played some more MGS4 started Act 3.

No reading today....

Movie starting...

Light at End of Tunnel

Is not a train!

They put the porch lights back up today. One more sign that the heck is almost over. I am still not sold on the new colors though.

Work was all over today. I have no idea how Scott ever had time for his motorcycle porn...

Got a haircut today. I think I need to keep looking for a hair place. This place is just a little too white trash for me to feel comfortable at.

Wrapped Q's birthday present. One advantage to never being home on recycle/trash day is the large number of boxes to choose from come wrapping time.

Watched the rest of the seasons Simpsons and an American Dad. Also watched an episode of Dinosaurs on DVD while sorting clothes.

Still reading A Confederation of Dunces. I think this book is a sleep aid for me. I tried to read a bit when I got home and ended up taking a nap. That probably means that I won't be able to sleep tonight unless aCoD does its magic.

Crap forgot to mention that I have started playing MGS4 again. Finished Act II today.

Teriyaki Wednesday

For about 10 years now, me and some of the guys at work have been going to Bento Teriyaki for lunch at least one day a week. Originally it was Thursday but it soon switched to it current location of Wednesday. We would always get it to go and would call ahead. Since Scott was the person that usually called since I was driving, they got to know the collective us as Scott Today was my first Teri run since Scott moved on.

Yipee Comic Wednesday. Very small week actually under $40. All comics read in short order.

Mary Anne had surgery today for her hurt elbow. Hopefully she gets super powers with the new elbow.

Borrowed and watched Enchanted from Tom. I really like parts of it and really disliked parts of it. I am thinking slightly more bad than good.

Watched Wipeout and I Survived a Japanese Gameshow. Sad Paul :( Mary is eliminated.

Still reading A Confederation of Dunces. Need to start hustling because I want it finished before I leave on vacation...

Halfway through the 1st week of the 100 pushup challenge. The challenge is that buy the end of six weeks you should be able to do 100 pushups without stopping. Today I did 59 but that includes planned rest breaks.

Pain in my Foot

To facilate the painting of the stairs we removed the carpet from the upper stairwell. What I was not expecting was the little nails that my feet just seem to not be able to get enough of.

Work is work. Not doing anything fun at the moment.

Tried out a Temperpedic mattress at Brookstone. I think when I replace the waterbed I will probable switch to one of these. If it was not the 6k that I have spent on the remodling I would probably make the switch after the carpet...

Cleaned the kitchen today while watching the last two Reapers. I really like the end of the season and am looking forward to the shows return in the fall. A feeling I did not have before the writers strike. I also watched the new Middleman. I am really digging this show.

Picked and watched The Bank Heist. It was a bit of a bin there and done that but the fact that this is the true story that spawned all the digging into the vault stories makes it kind of special.

Still reading A Confederation of Dunces.

Was very disapointed that Dr Horrible's debut was screwed by a lack of bandwidth. Hopefully they will solve the problem tommorow.

Welcome back big guy

It was nice to be in the office for the 1st time this month.

Spent the evening watching TV while picking up. It is the first time I have had the big screen on in almost a month. I had forgot how nice it is to watch TV on a large screen.

Jim called and told me that my Crackdown case was empty so I did an inventory and found my Halo 3 case also empty and the manual for Mass Effect also missing. My first thought is one of the contractors but why did they not take the case? Second thought is a Paulflix rental but why did they not take the case?

I ordered a new cell phone battery for my phone. Currently I have to charge it every night because if I don't it goes from 70% to 10% half way through the second day. I went with an OEM battery instead of one of the many second party ones.

Watched Venture Bros, 3 episodes of Reaper, Simpsons, and Family Guy.

Still reading A Confederation of Dunces. Actually might be getting interesting...

Mission Accomplished

All that is left is some touch up and the clean up. I was surprised how much of my day was tied up doing the last little bit where the fireplace once resided.

So someone is using my domain as a spam return address. Basically I went from getting 10 to 50 spam messages a day to over 250 a day for the last few days. Almost all of these messages are auto reject messages from the original target of the spam. This is the forth time this has happened to me and just when I make the decision to switch from a catch-all approach to selective approch it has stopped. Lets hope it is soon because it is making this update process much more time consuming.

Still reading A Confederation of Dunces.About 25 % into the book and I have really felt that it is "one of the funniest books ever written". Maybe I just can't find a common view point in a spoiled lazy adult that still lives with he mother.

Watch a ton of TV today. Doctor Who, Stargate: Atlantis, Wipeout(Twoto an Eskimo virgin makes it across the Big Balls but can not find the pole. That is Irony staring you smake dab in the face), I Survived A Japanese Gameshow, BWE, Last Comic Standing(Ester Ku hot but not funny), Middleman, and Burn Notice.

Placed my carpet order. I can't wait for this hell to be over so I can get my life back...
