It’s actually comforting to be able to look over my commit and merge logs for the past two weeks and see how much stuff I’ve gotten done. When combined with the rest of my work flow, it’s especially helpful in keeping track what’s left to do, and finding what else needs doing lol.

I must say though, that I’m looking forward to the weekend: tomorrow I get to sleep past dawn!!!! Can’t say what is worse really, staying in bed as long as possible to minimize my mothers opportunities to annoy me, or having to roll out of bed ahead of the dawn in order to get on the pinhead express ASAP. My bodies gotten used to the concept go to bed by N, wake up by M, and I make sure that N includes enough hours for me to actually fall alseep. Ohh, I can hardly wait until the move is over.

Currently:

  • First alarm at 0600
  • Failsafe alarm at 0615
  • Reach the nearest Interstate before 0700, preferably be on the next Interstate by then.
  • Come to a grinding halt as soon as Cobb County enters the picture, if it’s a /good/ day!
  • Wish they would blow the GA-400 of doom off the cotton pickin’ map.
  • Soar from just past the GA-400 exit all the way to my exit, a couple up the bypass.
  • Wrestle through yet more pinheads for a half hour or more worth of traffic, regularly backed up 3-lights long.
  • Reach work ~112km/70mi away, sometime between 0800 and 0830.
  • Go bananas until lunch cica 1100’ish.
  • Have to remember I need to get out of here around 1600 if I’m going to reach the I-75 **** **** before ************ pinheads back up traffic to several cities beyond where I work.
  • hope to get home around 1800-1815.

Future:

  • Drift out of bed sometime after 0800
  • Get to work sometime near 0900
  • Casually drift through bumper to bumper to damn bumper traffic with a smile.
  • Leave roughly 8 hours later
    • Enjoy being able to stay later if I’m focused on some project.
    • Figure out something to do if the traffic is worse than ever.
  • Go back to bumper to bumper traffic for 16~18km/10-12mi on the way home.
  • Not have to give a crap when I go to bed, as long as dawns still several hours away.
People are getting on edge about the rising cost of petrol, me? Well, I calculated that subject to traffic, after everything is done, my fuel budget would become about $200/month if petrol reaches $5/gal. That’s a major shit load less than what I’ve been spending a month, and my last budget was balanced to $3.20/gal and average actual costs around $2.90/gal-$3/gal.
So I’m gonna have a crude grin on my face if this works lol.

Need to live a little

by

Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate
Spilled hot coffee, down the front of my jeans
It’s work, work, pay the rent, money and my time’s spent
Not a minute left for me to be me

Been going like nothing can wait
I gotta get my priorities straight

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little, love a lot

Friday night, here we go, do a little do-si-do
Kick back, have a laugh, catch my breath
Tell the band slow it down, there she is, think I found
Maybe Ms. Wonderful, I haven’t met yet

It just hit me like a wrecking ball
She’s giving me a wake up call

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little, love a lot

Step back, smell the rose
Feel the sand between your toes
Unplug, unwind
Step out in the sunshine

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Take the girl, get a map and pick any old dot
Live a little, we need to live a little, love a lot

When you get about 20 + jockies out of about 30 some special infected, you know that it’s time to quit while you’re still ahead taller than a zombie midget!

Well it has finally come to pass: my mother is setup with an instant messager. Now of I can get her to use it instead of leaving me a steam of voice mails.

I also find it awesome how my phone tried to complete “blvd voice mails” to me fails!!!

by

My mother seriously needs to wrap her head around instant messengering, or figure out how I can get a cellular signal through a metal building and past all the equipment here in engineering 8=).

Particularly as a in my office,
Mobile IM = usually works.
Voice = rarely works.

Strawberry Perl + CPAN

by

Well, I’ve figured out one of the problems getting anything to work off CPAN. The installer didn’t have the brains to detect that CPAN configuration should work with $prefix where $prefix != C:strawberryperl. As in my case, the distribution is in C:DevFilesLanguagesPerl. Hehe.

It would be nice to be able to install modules and not have so many WTFs/Minute.

When I have headphones designed to limit background sound and use headphones b/c games are loud enough that ma doesn’t want to hear them–I really wonder by what retarded way of thinking does my mother think I can hear her over the sound of a zombie apocalypse!

The perfect way to control splurging at the grocery store: limit unplanned spending to <= $2.00. Of course, when the beer is two bucks cheaper than planned, of course I can add $1.50 for a small snack…. lol.

Somehow after going through a lot of junk with moving, I can’t help but think the perfect way to spend the afternoon would be a beer and a few rounds of Left 4 Dead :-/. I know either way though, I’m happy so much junk as been chucked lol.
