Day in the life

So I haven't updated for awhile.  I think I'm going to let xanga die, I'm not very much of a blogger.  But I could blame it on how busy things have been at work lately:



Just kidding.  I don't usually work with that many computers at once, I'm configuring 4 for a project I'm working on.  But yeah, work is good.  I have a great job, and I get to do a lot of fun stuff.  But it is a job, so I get pretty tired each day and there are some boring projects.  We'll see if I can go a whole year without updating- I was a few months shy this time.

Two Announcements

I have two announcements to make, one very important, one not as important.

Firstly, and most importantly, I have finally decided on a name for my new drumset:
Adara - which means, "beautiful, virgin" This is particularly fitting as my bass drum and toms are referred to as "virgin" in drum-speak because no holes are drilled in them for mounting hardware.

Secondly, I graduated.  Here I am receiving a fake diploma.

Tips & Tricks from the exam taking expert:

To successfully prepare for an exam, you must meet your basic needs:

Spiritual: Attend a prayer meeting
Emotional: Foster a feeling of triumph by owning your friends in videogames (namely, SSBM) and by throwing knives at cardboard
Mental: Stimulate your mind and improve your problem solving skills by playing Clue (or other board games) late at night with friends; also, honing your fine motor skills through SSBM is highly recommended to improve your writing efficiency and mental agility.
Physical: Sleep well the night before an exam, unless of course it interferes with playing games with friends. But never stay up because you're studying.  Also, take advantage of the free breakfast in Stacks for e-schoolers in the morning.

Just kidding... I was only able to pull this off last night because my exam today was open-book

Funny Story

So I rolled into class, right on time at 3:30.  As I walked in, I heard the professor:
"...and so we won't have class today since I have to meet with the group doing the special project"
I took a few faltering steps forward, did a 180° like I learned in marching band, and walked out.  The whole class was watching me and laughed.

Tips & Tricks from the wannabe Labcon:

Have you tried to watch music videos or other Windows media videos on ITC computers lately and notice the screen is just black? here's what you do:
  • Open Windows Media Player
  • Go to Tools/Options...
  • Click the "Performance" tab
  • Click "Advanced..."
  • Check the "Use high quality mode" box (third one from the top on the left)
  • Reload your video and it should work

Some of you will hate me for reintroducing studying distractions...
