I suspect the power supply. http://www.mce.com/shop/product_detail/product_id/21367/category_id/1017 I'm not sure if its worth fixing or not

Caryn and I picked up our new glasses. They are a similar shape, but different colors. Mine are black and a bit smaller than my old ones. At first everything seemed fuzzy but now they feel much clearer. I love the transition lenses so far.

Mac OS 10.4.8 was released. I patched my laptop and caryn's desktop. (thought it would be nice)

Had a test and a quiz today. Not sure how the test went but i did quite poor on the quiz. I did get my math homework in at least.

Also found out apple was giving out nextstep cds for free for y2k in 99 but i can't find info on it now. Probably a dead program. Shit :)

I posted that crazy auth setup on the osx server list. perhaps i'll get some hits. Just a yes its possible would be helpful.

just so caryn doesn't freak out or something, i got my psychology test done and my matlab assignment. That only leaves literature preperation for tomorrow.

After the various difficulties trying to install it on Caryn's PowerMac, I managed to install it on my iBook. Today, I decided to finish my first matlab assignment. I finished computing everything and needed to print out the command window. Well guess what, print doesn't work. If i hit print from the menu, nothing happens. If i try to use the print command it gives me an error that makes no sense. If i try to specify the printer, I get the same error. If i try to print selected from text selected in the command window, it crashes!

I read online some people have it just work and others go through hell and never get it to work. In my case i have an HP deskjet 3900 and matlab 7.1.x (sp3 r14)

Luckily i was able to extract the text and copy it into bbedit although its not the most legible. Hopefully my prof goes for it. I hope we don't need to generate graphs anytime soon!

IOGear has released a germ free mouse!

I've been feeling like crap lately. Caryn and I think it might be possible we got some of the recalled spinach.

I'm in a position where I need to play catch up now. I still don't feel well and yet I must complete some tasks by this weekend. I miss my pda a b it. I used to keep todo lists on it and my calendar. It helped a lot with time management during the semester. Regardless of that, I need to set a schedule for myself.

Caryn and I took a drive today.  We saw saline and I showed her EMU's campus.  We also did a little extra shopping.

She bought some iPod nano sleeves for her new player.  They are a bit weird.

I realized I forgot to turn in my timecard.  Doh. 

I saw the star wars episode 4, 5, 6 re-releases at meijers.  $20 a piece is bullshit.  I've bought them how many times already?  I'd only bother to buy episode 4 aka the first movie :)

We heard a kid say "Look dad movies... oh its just star wars"  and cracked a grin.  I think george lucas has lost his touch.  Talk about market saturation.

I did manage to get some work done on MidnightBSD this weekend.  I added a ton of ports.  My hands hurt last night!  I don't usually type that much. 

Finally, I got some new glasses ordered. I get them in a week. Only one more week of blurry and cracked lenses!

Caryn got a new pair too. That sure set us back a bit!

Its Caryn's birthday! Happy birthday Caryn!

about time.. i have matlab working on my laptop. Don't know what the deal is with caryn's box. it wasn't fun deleting enough to install either :)

Di was here earlier. We went out to eat for Caryn's birthday. Caryn's got her iPod nano yesterday that I bought her. She showed her mom. We went to Seva's. Love the food there. The mall was rather boring. At least I got a starbucks.

I've been working on MidnightBSD about a third of the day. So far, so good.

My new switch shipped today! I'm excited about that little upgrade. Class was awful today. I hate when english profs tell you to interpret things yourself but then jump on you because you're wrong! Its a severe contradiction.

I've had a busy day. My second class was cancelled due to the strike again. The first class went the whole time which sucked. I went to a cs luncheon. It ended up rather productive for me. I may have a job lined up doing OSX systems administration work. i got to see an Xserve Raid today as well. Very sweet! I wouldn't mind getting one of those.

The damn cats almost broke my NeXT today. They knocked the monitor over and it pulled my cell phone (charging) and several other things over as well. It still boots but there is an imperfection on the screen now. :(

Sitting at EMU, waiting for my next class. How boring. I bought some of my books but they didn't have the one I needed the most. :)

I've received several pieces of information on the strike from the professors on the picket lines. They now claim that EMU is unwilling to continue negotiations after their final offer. Last I checked, final offer means final offer. This strike is very confusing. Even some of the instructors feel like they should have taken that offer. I really don't know what to think now. As they are putting out information, i feel like they are attempting to correct my big bitch from yesterday. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
