HAHAHAHAHAH I will have to look into that. Fish Tossin sounds a bit dirty to... HMMM. I'm a fish tosser. Hell ya.

Prepare for the nerding.

I have a ShengShou 7x7. It's awesome. However it has become to loose. Like it miss alines a lot when I spin it... making solves harder... I don't have as much control over it as I want/like. I have read that I can tighten it. And if that is the case I can just do that. Other wise I will need to buy a new one and soak it in lube and then solve the shit out of it. (The lube is called Jig-a-loo not joking...)

I got a new best time on my 5x5 today. 3:06.59  which is awesome...

On my first break I was in the break room and one of the other people came in and called (her son?) and was talking about how another coworker passed away the night before. (Horrible car crash.) And while I wasn't that close to her. She was a cool lady, really nice and kind, and other then being really nosiey she was a great lady. (And I'm not one of the people that won't talk ill of the dead. She really was a really kind nice person. And always happy, would always say hi and stuff like that.) And it's really shocking that she just died like that. I lost one of my best friends when I was in 8th grade. And that was shocking. I lost a friend to Cancer and it wasn't as shocking. Cuz well I can put two and two together and it was close to her time due to it... But I saw coworker that died yesterday. And she was fine her normal self. And then bam... Fucking hell... *sighs.*


Also some how the Seattle times got the news all wrong. Like coworker drives a truck, not a van and ect, So they got who was to blame and who was in what car 100% wrong. Which saddens me even more.

that's awful, Aaron.  8(

[Aaron]

Ya, it's still really shocking. Like how she was fine and then car crash. And it happened like 15 or so minutes after her shift. Like she was on her way home.

So I have at least half joined the dark side....  I am on a MacBook Pro now as my secondary work computer.  I had been talked to about supporting some Mac driven network initiatives at work, so I told them if they wanted me to do it I would need a new Mac to properly test things.  BOOM!  So they bought me one.

Of course I will tell you I have also been using it for play as well.  Traktor runs ultra smooth on it and all my Native Instrument gear worked from the get go with none of the tweaking I had to do on the PC.

I still primarily use a PC, but I am glad I get to learn Macs now too.  The last Mac I had was the original 128k Mac my dad brought home in 1984.

One thing I do have to say though...  IT FEELS DAMN GOOD TO BE ON A UNIX TERMINAL AGAIN.  This is the first job I have had where I didn't have a UNIX/Linux machine.  I used to do a lot of Sun and Linux admin stuff and desperately missed it.  The first thing I did on this Mac was start writing shell scripts to make my day to day life easier.  It's amazing how much I still remember of vi.  8-p

Speaking as someone who has to do a bunch of command-line Solaris/AIX/Linux work, and usually that's the only thing available...

Fuck vi.  In the ear.  With its retarded command structure.  Fuck it.  Die and go back to the 70s from whence you came you evil fucker.
Fuck vi.

OH SHIT NERD CODE FIGHT!



I was walking home from the bus. And I looked up to see a super cute itty bitty animal right in the path. It was a baby Opossum. ANd it was SUPER cute. And tiny like about the same size as a small rat. It was dead still. And I noticed it, said out loud "no fucking way a baby opossum!" Then I was like shit I have a camera phone, two pics and both are of it running away.  BUT it was super cute. However just to ruin what happyness this may have brought you. I saw mom across the road dead... (I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure the insides should be on the inside.) So what joy it did bring was snuffed out hella fast...


There is an opening at work for DSD. I don't really know what that stands for... BUT anyhoo the job is checking in vendors and merchandise (like DVD's and CD's that come by fedex.) It's cush, cuz you don't deal with the public it's 100% in the back room. It pays better, I would have way less baby sitters. BUT the down sides. I would get one full day off and work two super short shift days. AND zero busses run that early. (I would start about 5:30am.) So i would have to bike to work and then bus home. And since I would work 6 days a week. I would be biking 60 miles/96KM a week. On a bike I don't own yet. We do have some ok ones at work for cheap (hell the high end one we have there is 150.) But I would need a bigger seat and lights and what nots. BUT I would loose weight fast doing that. So I did put in for it. And while I'm still job hunting. I would love the change this would bring...

... on a totally different note, does anyone know any good references for philosophical Taoism? I've read some interesting translations of the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu and I find the philosophy fairly appealing. But from what little additional research I've done, it seems like Taoism in practice became more of a religion, which I don't particularly like. So, any suggestions?

This one really caught me by surprise.
