Stupid fucking text messages

rmiles7721November 16, 2006Technology

Lately I have been getting forwarded shit from other people’s cell phones. Here is the body of the one I just got.

FR: I almost posted the number so you assholes could forward some tasty messages BACK to this person, but decided that might not be a good idea.

(FW:)S-L-A-P!!! you’re now my bitch…the national pimp off has begun! Pimp others before they pimp you! You can pimp anyone except your pimp. Start pimpin bitch!

What the fuck? I saw the “bitch” part and the first person that I thought of was Yabu. What’s up with that. OK, quit filling up my inbox with this shit. Oh by the way, if you sent me this and I have offended you, good deal, go fuck yourself.

This kind of shit is worse than junk mail because I have to pay for text messages you dickhead assmunch.

Just a piece of meat

rmiles7721November 16, 2006Uncategorized

In one part of the article, the author says “You would not call a piece of meat a “dead animal,” even if you realize it’s a part of one”.

I don’t know. I have had a couple of pieces of meat when I was younger that I tended to refer to as “dead” animals. Just saying.

BTW, thanks for the link Leslie. I am not sure what it is, but any link having to do with beastiality and necrophilia is just too damn good NOT to click on.

No Nipple rings here…

Sounds Back

rmiles7721November 16, 2006Technology

Even though I had tried to reload the driver from device manager, apparently I needed to completely reload the software using Creative’s installation file. I fucking hate soundblasters software and drivers. I have been using their cards for 15 years or so and I like them, but they are always behind the times with drivers, and their software blows chunks.

Listening to the best of the Pixies right now. Much better working environment. I don’t know what the hell I was doing (probably working) while they were still around, but this kicks ass.

It doesn’t take much to amuse me

Update – Apparently the sound issue is something in Windows. Fucked if I know what. I tried different speakers as well as headphones, in both soundcards. Tried disabling one of the soundcards. Reinstalled drivers. Did a system restore. Know I am starting to get pissed off and may kick it a few times to see if that will work. I’ve gotta have my itunes. I know I can listen to music on the TV system, but it’s not the same, particularly if Holder or one of the wall crawlers want to watch TV.

I am pretty much a happy camper today. Stardock released Windowblinds for Vista yesterday (at least the beta version). I have missed being able to skin my windows under Vista. I’ve used this program since 1999 or so, and it kicks ass. I also found a transparent console called (amazingly enough) Console. I used to use an eterm like program called eConsole, but development on it stopped several years ago and it doesn’t run properly under Windows Vista. The first time I loaded up a skin it crashed explorer, but after a reboot I haven’t had a single problem since. There are literally hundreds of skins available for free at Wincustomize, although Windowblinds itself is shareware. Well worth the price.

The only thing that I have found that is a pain in the ass with this “new” pc is that my sound quit working mysteriously yesterday. I am getting ready to check it out with a different pair of speakers, as it won’t work on the built-in sound on my MB or my sound card. I also tried with headphones and couldn’t get that to work either. Piece of shit.

Here’s a screenshot of my current desktop.

Oversleeping

rmiles7721November 16, 2006Site News

Since I am working so close to home now I seem to be sleeping later and later. Apparently I must need it, but I sort of enjoy that time in the morning to blog. I also use that time to balance my checkbook and just take plenty of time to wake up. Perhaps I can attempt to go to bed a little bit earlier and that will help out. I finally seem to be over the bronchitis, but my bosy is probably still trying to recover. At least my ears don’t feel like I am on a plane anymore.

Online Again

rmiles7721November 15, 2006Technology

Once again, I have a computer up and running. I ended up being able to get one of my media PCs running again, it just had a couple of bad sticks om RAM in it, so now I have a PC again, and it’s faster than the one I was using. Sweet. Does that mean I will post more? Probably not.

It’s Friday…

…and I actually have a couple of days off thank god…and not a fucking thing to post :>

I have to take the smallest one for an ear re-check in a few minutes, so she gets to spend my day off with me, which is a treat for both of us. She is currently watching Dora as I listen to the Pixies (Wave of Mutilation).

Perhaps I am the one who needs to go back to the doctor. I have been on antibiotics for about eight days now and can’t seem to shake this crap. My ears feel as if I just got off a plane and nasty stuff flows from all of my orifices. I DO feel better than I did this time last week, but really would like this to go away.

Looks like a few folks are getting together at the Vinings Inn for supper tomorrow night. Since I am off until Sunday morning I am going to have to head in to Atlanta (traffic and all) and have a bit of fun. Unfortunately I have to be up early Sunday, so won’t have too many libations while there. Yabu is coming, so I will bring my get-out-of-jail free card just in case.

Computers and Grades

rmiles7721November 8, 20065Technology

Damn, I have hardly posted at all this week. Another long one. I just got home a few minutes ago. Early enough to kiss the girls good night, but that’s about it. I will have to take a much needed shower and hit the sack soon. 4:30 AM comes too damn early.

The kids got their grades today. They both did very well, That is a very good thing. Chris got at least all Bs. Great. Except the part where he gets his computer back. Damn. Since Anna’s milk went in the laptop, I am computer-less. I guess it could be worse, I could be dick-less. And a zombie. That would definitely be worse.

As much as I love home automation, and the homemade PVR and such, I may be retiring the fucker and putting it back under my desk for awhile, since it used to be my PC anyway. Damn, just can’t decide.

Meetings

I was informed the other day that I have to be at a meeting in Anniston, Alabama at 5pm on Tuesday after work. On election day. What the fuck is up with that? I feel the need to protest. That or leave my boss by herself mid morning while I go vote. That may just be the ticket.

Finally seem to be getting over whatever crap I have had the last week. I am taking an entire drugstore every day in the attempt to rid myself of this shit and it seems to be working. Hell, I even had a breathing treatment last night and am currently working on coughing up the other half of my lung. Perhaps another smoke will do the trick.
