Back to Work

Damned if my days off were long enough this week. I am ready for just one more. I think it’s because I should be due for a vacation right about now. I get one every four months or so, but I took my last one early (beginning of October) due to my store opening. I won’t have another one until the end of March. Six months. It’s easy to burn out in my job which is why I space them the way I do.

I turned in my vacation schedule recently and it is just as screwed up as it has been this past year. One at the end of March/beginning of April (10 days woo hoo), one in June or July I don’t really remember which, and then one the week after Labor Day weekend, just in time for Helen if we keep to the same schedule. At that point I will try to get the next ones four months apart again and take my first one of the new year in January instead of March. Right after the holidays I always need one anyway.

I just couldn’t resist

Want to be inspired while you drink your morning coffee? Me too, but I picked humored instead. Good cup to drink cheap bourbon out of. I kept it at NO markup so it’s certainly cheap enough. Gonna have to order one myself. Inspired by Erica? Actually, blatantly stolen is probably more like it.

Conan the Blade

That’s the only product I have put in, but I can certainly set it for t-shirts if anyone is interested. Check it out here.

BeyondTV

When I took apart my HTPC recently I stuck two of my TV tuners in my computer, and will probably put the USB tuner in as well. The big problem was that there were still some issues with BTV and Windows Vista. I happily received an email today with the release of a public beta version for Vista. I am getting ready to install it. Sweet. I don’t know if it’s in the build or not, but I understand that at some point they are going to add a plugin for MCE. That would be sweet, as I don’t particularly like MCE’s TV stuff.

I have been meaning to write up a review for BTV for quite some time as well, so once this is released I will do that as well.

Cell Phone/MP3 Player

I finally got my headphones to work with the music player on my phone. Sweet. It’s not an iPhone, but it’s a damn site cheaper, and available NOW.

Buddy Holly – Peggy Sue

Zombies – Time of the Season

Pixies – Planet of Sound

…are what I have heard. It’s nice because the girls are playing Mario Party and I am trying to block out the sound.

I can’t get my damn DV camera to work with Vista now. Creative just released new drivers for the Audigy a couple of days ago, I am installing them now as I think the other ones timed out a few days ago. I think that is all that I need right now.

TGIF #1042

20 years and two weeks. Damn. This is my Friday. I can feel it too as it has been both an easy week but a tough one. I will probably post more about it tomorrow once I have actually had more than four hours of sleep at a time. I have been trying not to bitch and moan about work quite as much as I did toward the end of last year. I know that the last three months of the year were one big long whine and rant about the assholes at work.

Boomhauer tells how to use the Internet

I don’t watch much TV but I used to occasionally watch King of the Hill, at least for a season or two. I saw this show and this bit just cracks me up every time that I see it.

What an Aquarium!

Damn, check out this aquarium. That thing is huge. Now if it connected with my computer and cooled it, that would just kick ass. Plenty more pics at the link.

Update – I posted a link to a pretty cool pic, but I guess they don’t want it using their bandwidth (understandable) so just go click the damn link and check out that monster.
