I wonder if the looming threat of GMAIL is making some other people run to add services to thier free e-mail service.See, I’ve been using Yahoo Mail for about a year now. When I started work, they didn’t have an email address for me, and I made this account so that I could receive work […]

So, here’s a little question:Some fans of City of Heroes have made an online radio station, Paragon City Radio, of which the DJs are all players on City of Heroes and they all do their little DJ thing while playing the game.They’ll be holding open auditions on Saturday morning.

OK, so I installed Mandrake without killing the /home drive because, well, that’s kinda easier.But, with Mandrake, things are a little screwy at the best of times, and saving the /home actually made it a little more difficult to get things done.That, and I wanted a kind of fresh install, so I backed up my […]

Just two short days to Anime North, probably four more until I’m out of cash again….And I get paid on Friday.I’m going to try and not just spend for the sake of spending like I have in the past, this time I have a list of good prices, and if things are below that, then […]

Wow, it’s been over a week since I last posted anything.Well, what’s happened since: -Went to a surprise party for Mike, that was cool, he was actually surprised!There was SOOOOO MUCH FOOD!I swear, there were like 20 people there, and food for 100! So many leftovers. Lucky me, I got to take some home! I […]

Ok, chalk another one up for the government. Seems that I ordered replica firearms, not toy guns.Regardless of the orange tip. Anyway, I’m going to fight it a little, but it’s not really worth it in the long run.But, in my quest to find a little bit of legle wiggling, I found this interesting court […]
