I've been using Firefox 1.0PR on my Windows boxes since it came out. I just installed it in Linux; and all I can say is damn. I didn't have anti-aliased fonts before, so web-browsing was sort of ugly. Not so any more, it's beautiful. It's also speedier and sexier. Yay for Firefox!!

Incidently, it's been nearly a year to the day since I first installed Firebird (the old name for Firefox). It has certainly come a long way in that short year!!!

I've watched The Holy Grail about as many times as any nerd. Only now did I finally understand what the French in the tower were saying when they uttered the ever famous "You silly English 'conigget'". Knight... it's a mispronunciation of knight. Kuh-Nig-h(i)t. I feel at peace with the world.

School is going to be difficult this quarter. I had anticipated as much... but DAMN. Tons of programming, tons of work, just tons of everything in general. I got my insane $140 book, but I'm waiting for some more money so I can buy the other equally insane $100 books. On the upside I can sell back my 306 book from last quarter and probably at least a get a few bucks for it (considering they are selling used ones at $90). Nothing too exciting thus far. My Tuesdays and Thursdays do officially suck. I have class starting at 9:30, and I officially leave school at 9pm. I do have two breaks, one of one hour and another of 2... still; CRAZY. Oh well, on the upside things are going well. I got senior project for the quarter. I'm working on the writeup (which sucks) and all in all I can't complain too much... Oh, and I'm going up to see Mitch Hedberg and Stephen Lynch on Saturday. Woo!!!

First day of school. Woo. Actually it sucked. Getting there was a huge pain in the ass, it was the freakin' Exodus from Egypt TO Cal Poly. Retarded. Class was boring (but it was EE... so surpise) I found out that book is going to cost an insane $140!!!!! Then I went to work, and it was just really stressing today. Then I went to choir, which was fun. Oh, and then... the grand daddy of all. I tried to register my PDA so I could get on the wireless at school. Shouldn't be a problem, right? "Do you have anti-virus?" they ask. No, of course not. It's a PDA! A concept virus was released like 2 months ago. I'm sure there might be a couple new ones since then. I do however doubt that an army of zombie PDAs is really going to cause any sort of security risk. Further, they didn't know anything at all about anti-virus software for PDAs other than it may or may not exist and the bookstore may or may not sell it in the future. If you're going to have a stickly ass policy on something you may as well know what the fuck you're talking about. GAH! I hate it when misinformed people are put in charge! I understand the policy; things to be put on the campus network must have anti-virus software installed. Could we think a bit on how to apply the rule though? GAH!!!!!

Well, so much to write about. I got Fable. It rocks, it took me about 3 hours before I liked it though and that made me very nervous. I'm into it now, and it is really awesome. I got my Dell Axim X30 Pocket Pc. I can hear you all now "Ewww, Windows Pocket 2003?!? Why would you do that to yourself??". Well, I'll tell you. I had but 2 fast requirements; integrated 802.11b and under $350. Suffice to say this is the only one that made the cut. It is awesome. I thought it would be cool, but rarely does the anticipation culminate in an experience better than one thinks. I thought, hey I'd watch some movies, get organized, you know... PDA stuff. I just finished a 20 VoIP call on it... AWESOME. I used Skype (by the makers of Napster), and the quality was stunning. If you know me, I don't excited by too much... I am giddy about the sheer sweetness of it. What really gets me is that it can run at up to 624 Mhz. That's twice the speed of the computer I bought when I came to college at less than 1/4 the price. Ridiculous.

Oh sweet blog, how I have neglected you. I didn't mean to... really. Truth be told work has been horrendous; it seems like everything is exploding constantly. I did get a bit of rest this weekend, and by rest I mean I only got called twice. I hope this cycle of explosion will end soon. Beyond that I did have fun this weekend hanging out with Shane and on occasion Sean. We went to the ever delicious Sonic, and I got to try Chartreusse. Money wise I've finally stabalized, although bills are higher than ever. Plenty more to report, but I don't find myself in the mood to write. I am alive though.
