Working late tonight, fun fun.

Bosses computer took a puke, so having to migrate him to a different system. Got tomorrow and Monday off, so figured I would hang around and finish the system up. [i](no, was not asked, and I don't think the boss even knows I am still here)[/i]

Everyone else is long gone, so I get to jam out the tunes, thank goodness for imeem. B-)

This would be less boring if I wasn't just sitting here while data copies from one system to another... ya know?

Anyone else bored?

Oh, did I mention I only have 5 work daze left in the year? B-)

I can't jam out, here. :(
1 student so far, taking her final early. I suppose I could be productive and grade something, but I think I'd rather half doze. :D

by jdclyde

I rock out all day long, everyday. I just can't crank it up during the day. B-)

That reminds me, I have some grading to do when I get home. Stupid on-line class I am teaching. I can't believe how many people sign up for college classes and then never show up..... :0

Got 4 people that didn't even take the midterm. dumb.....

by jdclyde

I just hope that is by choice....

Two daze next week, one the next, two the next. Sweeeeeet.

You at work or home?

Figure I have about 15 minutes of double checks left.....

I'll be off from the 22nd to the New Year. But this starting at 4AM is really tearing a hole in my other activities. Plus I have to work this Saturday, another 12 hour day. I wish I could listen to something, anything. I'm required to wear earplugs and it drives me nuts. One advantage is I can cuss a blue streak and no one hears me. It tend to talk a lot to inanimate objects, like lasers and sensors that have gone astray. This control programing gets to be a real pain but it's nice when it all comes together.

I just figured I don't have anything else going on. Grandma picked up my boys from practice, and this helps make up for the 3 hours I missed earlier in the week because of road conditions.

Well, that and they let me leave early to get to my boys school events.

We take care of each other, ya know? ;\

I had just seen the discussion, but hadn't read most of the posts.

Definitely one of those comments that you laugh at and then quickly look around to see if anyone saw you.... ;\

Off to see how badly people jumped on him for saying it about Toni.... :D

I had a slow day today, but for the rest of the year, if it's not a holiday or a weekend, I'll be on the road.

But even Kroger closes on Christmas...

by jdclyde

with road conditions!

Today was fairly slow this way. I just didn't know this was going to have to be done till near the end of the day, so took it upon myself to do it.

We have Krogers around here, but it is a hit-and-miss on if they selection sucksass or not. The closest one to me is horrible while the one about 10 miles away rocks.... :(

by jdclyde

AMD 800, and I swear the thing is intentionally taking it's sweet time! Should have been done over an hour ago. :(

As soon as OO3 is done loading, I get my hour ride home.

There was an aura and a rainbow colored halo around the Moon. Pretty neat.

I made sure to look tonight. The sky is clear and there's some serious moonshine.

by ontheropes

It didn't look like any of those. Inside the distinct halo was all white like it was the center of a room lamp. It was right before I went to bed. I think maybe I need to buy myself that good camera I've been thinking about and then USE it to take pictures.

I'm backing up user data off a 500 gb Drive.
The system is getting read errors during booting.

first folder of data, 87 GB, system estimates copying onto network storage will take 3 hours.
[ have to backup 160 GB in total ]

by jdclyde

home, safe and sound.

stopped by moms to get my dog, and ready to start the weekend...

let me guess, you have another 4 hours of transfer time left...... :D

by the scummy one

however it was an 80 GB drive with 65 GB data.
It got grueling having to start folder by folder due to read errors.
After it was all said and done, I found out that there were backups :0

by ontheropes

I could clearly make out the outline of the Moon.

What kind of camera did you get? I'm thinking about getting a Nikon P-80. I've always wanted a Nikon camera.

by jdclyde

didn't notice a moon. Once in the car, my only thoughts were about watching for ice patches and that gas went up $.30 since this morning. Watching, I found a place that had only gone up ten cents so far, and topped the tank off.

I think we need some public executions of the execs that raise gas prices more than a nickle at a time without being able to justify it.

by cmiller5400

When you make so much money you can't even tell a Congress inquisition how much you make, cut their salary to poverty level, give away their McMansions, Sell their private jets, but let them keep their gas guzzler cars. That way they can feel our pain filling up at the pump.

did I laugh out loud?

why is it things that aren't funny are funny in the fact that they are not funny?

D40 with 10-135mm lens, so called entry level digital SLR.
CNET put up a word or 2, I got this camera for much less than they quote.

A more realistic price quote from these folks but with the smaller lens. I went for the larger lens for just a few bucks more.

The menu system is quite deep and I am still figuring it out but so far seems to be a very fine camera.

Remember my pictures won't look any better, they will just cost more. LOL

by michael jay

I think your thoughts are correct, that should be quite good at getting those birds up close and very clear.

I say go for it Ropes, you owe it to yourself, that is what I did.

Thanks for that link to Steve's place, very cool.
