The Laboratory

Do you know how long I've had this damned page? Too long. I only ever get notices through my E_Mail, then I never log in.

Today we went out into the outback of Southern Oregon. Namely to the Shirk Ranch which is way, WAY out in the desert. Shortly after we made it past the ranch, we stopped underneath some juniper trees to eat lunch. Too bad it started raining. So we all headed back the 20 miles to the pickups, soaked to the skin and covered in an inch-thick shell of mud.



So here was a photo I took of myself after the trip. That jacket wasn't sagging when I put it on, and my helmet was crystal-clean.

Anywho, another day passed, and a few pounds of dirt acquired.

WITH 60% MORE INTERNET AND 40% MORE LUNG CANCER (You can blame that on my roommates). But yea, I decided to make a post finally. Not sure of Tursi or anyone else really pays attention anymore, but still, it'd be nice to hear from them again. :)

In the time that I've been... idle... I've moved several times, now living in Oregon, just 20 miles from California. We had plans to go to AC this year, but that feel through in a heartbeat. So I'm focusing on finishing off the last bits of my education (and trying to find more rubber bands to hold my computer together). But other than that, life is moving smoothly, and my lawn looks FREAKIN' AWESOME. I swear, it could pass for golf-course greem if it was cut short enough.
Well, time to go! Testing in the morning, and I can't miss that. :>

Adios!
From everyone's favorite (maybe) gryphon,

Well, I suppose I could get rid of this journal. I've quite paying attention to it, and no one seems to read it. However, I will keep loading images into the gallery.

I return... sorta. Been a loooooooooong few months of nothing but computer work. I've been learning how to install and configure Linux packages from the command line and how to run an X11 client on a remote system. It's tedious, but worth it in my opinion.
The next goal is to get a working MySQL server installed on a spare box and run OpenAscent off of the supplied database, which means more digging for suitable distros.



By the way, visit irc.anthrochat.net if you want to find me, since Im rarely anywhere else.

P.S: My Linux can run Windows apps faster than Windows :D

.... what? Did you expect me to post? BAH! You can find me on IRC :P

Yay on the new userpic! It was made by a friend of mine a couple of weeks back. Tis a gryphon, on someone's head, pointing out all the broken lines in their artwork. Now, to get that character-sheet done.

Although I never left, I've been neglecting to post once again. Go figure.

Let see.... what have I achieved, ah yes, I have my old job back, greasing the same old grimy truck. I should have two new computers later on this week for my rendering systems (I seem to have figured out how to do fluid animations nicely).

For those of you who are gamers, NEVER BUY THE DAMN PCI CARD WHEN YOU HAVE AGP!!! OK, that's solved now *glances over at the 128MB PCI video card that can't seem to play TF2 at a decent FPS*

Now, what else... ah yes, I had to shutdown our website due to spam bots. Somehow they got past account validation. And Anthrochat and half of the fandom's network has died due to a datacenter failure on the 28th at midnight. Apparently the RAID controller faild and started writing data all over the disk.

So, other than that, it's been hectic around here.

Seems I've only posted junk, so I thought i'd post something worthy today.

We finally got moved into our new house completely and are currently working on replacing a large chunk of missing linoleum in the kitchen. Somewho it got tore out and nobody knows how. Managed to fix the bathroom fan lastnight. It'd barely turn because of the inch thick accumulation of dust on the little motor. So I added some WD-40 and called it good. And now my sleeping patterns are screwed again.. I stay up intil about 8AM, sleep until 4-5PM and wake up, Repeat. So it's been rather busy around here. Considering getting a job ferrying people back and forth across the golf-course (This would get me paid good considering all the wealthy people that come here). And other than than all that, life has been decent. Hope to heae from someone on that friends list of mine ;) *jabs it with a sharp stick*
