Super Phone Call, Not So Super Phone & Great Buys!

Got a phone call from Verdana/Kristi last night. She was in good spirits. The baby is fine and Mother is experiencing some discomfort, but like I said in good spirits. Hey, she just had a baby last week! They have been up at night since Riley has decided that's the best time to eat. It will pass. When Verdana was that age she did the same thing. Glad she has a good support team around her. Daddy Uncle Snake and his mother-in-law (my ex) have been most helpful and Verdana bragged about it. Mal seems to be on the road to accepting little sister which is good. Less than two years difference in their ages will likely make them great friends. I think all this is so kewl!

Speaking of phone calls, my dependable Razr, age 4, is on its last leg. Am switching it out with the spare this morning. Missed phone calls are horrible. Anyone have models to suggest? Sure could use some advice. I really want a Razr V9, but it is out of my price range. Using AT&T as carrier so the variety of phone types is numerous. Still want that V9. Any advice, websites, ideas will be most welcome. TY out to Beagle, Verdana and Mudslingr for keeping me phoned up during the past years. You guys have really helped my big fingered, not able to text, bluetooth earset dependent, lardbutt stay connected. Grasshoppa says, "Bluetooth earsets look like plastic cockroaches." LOL.

Oh yeh, Mudslingr has a nice pair of Nvidia 7 series video cards for sale. He also has two 8 port switches, one which is a DLink that's like new. Very reasonable prices. Ashby dropped off a pair of Nvidia 7900s at the beach house. They are for sale too. Mud also has a server for sale at a reasonable price. He recently upgraded his network and I know the condition of all this equipment is top notch. These guys are geeks and us nerds take care of our equipment. Again, the prices are really reasonable. Comment or email me. Now if I can just get back on track about taking care of the beach house with that 'geek care' attitude.

Enjoy Thursday. Local weather is awesome. Spring is here me hopes. Just think tomorrow will be Friday. That always means there's only 2 more days to work this week!

Games People Play and Other Things

Rather short post yesterday. The day started early and my server problem that I've fought is over. I spent several hours during the night sometime around the very witching hour discovering why the circa 2000 DOS software would not let Vista print to screen or device. That client machine is now printing to both. Wow, what a nightmare. Can we say perseverance? Can we say gusto of a pit bull? Spent wayyyyyy too much time rebuilding this network only to have them purchase a server from someone else. Hey, building servers is one of my specialties. There are many across North Mississippi built at the beach house and they are tough, durable machines. Oh well, what cha gonna do? Can't win them all. They didn't even ask me and I retrieved their data and brought a SCSI XEON server back online running better than ever. Enough of this whine, really not that important.

Am building a gaming machine that will be for sale in a few weeks. It will definitely be able to MMORPG (Massively Multiple Online Role Playing Game). Can we say kick ass? Oh yeah. Visiting in the realm of the 3 continents is great, great fun. That's my oldest daughter in the picture alongside my mainmost character, Maskull Tor. She's an Air Elementalist and is capable of opening up a huge tin of whupass. Her character's name is Cyndane Eloize. Wish we had more time to play. I am old, tired and a lardass. She's pregnant. Enough! Back to the machine presently being built. The price wil be fair, but don't expect a Wal-Mart type price. WallyWorld does not sell anything close to the power of uber that will be found in this machine. This is a "spec" machine, but let me know if you have certain needs and it can be tailored to suit you. Oh yes, it will be dual core Opteron based. Nuff said?

Gosh folks, enjoy the weekend. Weather here is beautiful. Think I'll try and catch up on badly needed rest and sleep. Later.

Optimistic Side of Pessimism at the Beach House

Today is going to be a good day. Yes, the decision has been made so don't bother me with whining and such. I have to work this weekend, actually go on site to do some stuff then clean this house (there may be a pig hiding in here from all the grunting I'm hearing...no, wait...that's me!), mow the yard with the push mower, try and repair the weed eater, replace the garage door opening unit after I grow the two extra arms n hands needed, clean out my shed and make room for the old hooptiemobile, finish the repair of the riding lawn mower, then try and start cleaning the garage - there's not enough time in a weekend to finish the garage. Does anyone remember the words help or volunteer? Nah, doubt it. How about prayer? Would you just say a prayer?

Yes, today is going to be a good day. Don't be surprised if I don't answer the phone. It's on the blink anyway and will probably be on the counter or veranda due to the amount of sweat. Ahhhh, yes it's hot again and I like it! Yep, gonna' go like crazy and if there's a report of a beached whale sited in Saltillo don't worry about it. It'll just be me fallen over behind the push mower. Do me a favor, spray some insect repellent on me, place my four arms and hands across my chest, and just leave the carcass as a monument that might inspire other lard asses to lose weight! Damn it all, today is going to be a good day I said!!! The coffee pot just quit working and my toe was stubbed on the way to get a cup when my flip flop blew out. But! I have a spare coffee maker! Now where did it go? Probably hiding somewhere with my good dress flip flops. Later y'all.
