2:48 PM - AAPL soars
I'm just adding a technorati claim to my blog. LOL. Technorati Profile
I really wish I had slept better. I've got 12 hours of sleep over the last two days and very little of that is continuous.
On tuesday, I left at 8:38 which is 8 minutes later than I like to get to class. With good traffic conditions, I can still make it ontime to EMU. However, a bus and a car decided that they wanted to occupy the same space. It took me 50 minutes to go from exit 175 to exit 181 on I-94. Obviously, I was late for class. The best part was that after I got past the accident, traffic sped up for about half a mile and then stopped for no apparent reason. I was not a happy camper.
Caryn just sent me an IM that says dell is going to sell computers at walmart. They've sure turned into Gateway.
Anyway, the air conditioning has been broken for several days. Its very unpleasant in here. Its been running about 78 degrees on average in the computer room. stargazer is staying up OK, but my desktop isn't quite as good with air flow. My iBook would be unusuable in these temperatures and the PowerMac is a bit touchy. I'm happy to report that caryn's new box seems to handle it very well. I'm just glad we don't have two "servers" going anymore. Midnight and Henry are getting a little mad at me about the air conditioning. Funny thing is they sit in the sunlight. They are real smart cats.
Monday I had my car in for one of the many repairs they recommended. There is no way I can afford the head gasket repair right now. The transmission is working better at least. I hear this weird clicking sound sometimes that concerns me. I really hate my car.
Caryn just sent me these. I found them rather amusing error messages.

My dad (finally) sent me an online birthday greeting. Its only 8 days after my birthday. :(
I started the process of migrating from an iBook to Caryn's old PowerMac. Even though this Mac is 5 years old, its still loads faster than my newer ibook. I think the dual 867mhz G4 chips and near 2GB of ram have something to do with it. I decided to initialize the disk. Caryn's upgraded since 10.2 on this thiing and there is a lot of cruft on it. I've been debating wheither to install OS 9 or not. I think I will dual boot OS 9 and OS X just for gaming purposes. Classic can be fun.
I spent most of the weekend cleaning out closets. We've got a lot of crap to put on ebay. I'm looking forward to it.
