*groan* - got a friggen headache... arrrr, i hate when i wake up with headaches.... oh well, looks like another day of drinking cocke and eating hungry jacks (i get weird cravings when i have headaches).

Been backing up a few cds today, and cleaning out my hardrive... damn windows xp crashed... the network drivers for my RealTek 8129 network card are buggy... i emailed realtek but all i got was "the drivers are certified by microsoft" bullshit... and send them an uly reply... damn i hate that...

so now i my netowkr card doesnt work... bastard...

arrrr, somthing good has gotta happen today... mmmm

What a bitch of a day... all i had to do today was send a webpage that was zipped up to a client... but it took me all friggen day to do it... for startes i tried sending the 13mb file through email (yeah stooopid idea, but hey, i thought id at least try), anyway the tried finding a free ftp site to put it on, but couldnt find any, i signed up for a few free webpages that said they had free ftp, but i got no reply... so god knows what sort of spam/porn ill get in my email now sheesh

I was also meant to have my pay review, but that didnt happen, as usual he ran out of time and had to go, but he told me he would prefer to do it when i get back to rocky, and said it would be better for me if i wanted a raise... I though - well duh!, of course i want a raise... as usual i didnt know how to take it, he could be bullshitting to me, ill wait for 2 weeks and see what sort of raise i get...

And then after that, i found out that i dont have to be here on monday to hand the webpage over, apparently they are going somewhere and looking at it... but in the end i offered to stay for the weekend and if there is nothing from them on monday i will go, which is cool cause i get to drive back in their time not mine...

So i have a weekend of not worrying about anything, which should be cool... i find somthing to do... mmmm my pizza in the oven smells ok, im getting sick of precooked food... yuck... cant wait to get back and cook my own food...

ok, that will do, ill get back to downloading and chatting and eating...

"my pile shakes as i hit 80 on the open road" - mmmm listening to eve6, they arnt too bad...
Well i havnt yet had my damn review for my job, i dunno when its gunna happen, hopefully it will be tomorrow.

Still reading cocoa books, im churning through them now, its not that hard, about the toughest thing is trying to find the classes etc etc to do what you want to do... mmm

I found out today that i can still apply for my phd without any worries so thats good, ill have to do that first theing when i get back and then get my wwdc application in, mmm im going to be cutting it fine but i think it will be cool. That reminds me that i have some stuff i have to do for my phd, a bit of research to do, i wish i was enrolled again so i could go to the uni and download the shit, its too slow over a modem...

I found out the other day that i downloaded about 1gig last month through dial-up, which was pretty good i though, you gotta lurrrrvvvee primus unlimited internet. I wanna get ADSL or somthing, but its a bit expensive and the 3 gig limit wouldnt be enouhg for my i dont think. arrrrrr ill have to wait i guess.

geeeez this bog is boring, its always about my job, or cocoa, or my phd or wwdc LOL... mmm well i guess that describes me in one...

ok, thats enough... I now pronounce this blog.... FINISHED .
