computers

After loading score after score with “real” sounds tonight, I have decided that I seriously need a second WD 160GB hard drive to put together in RAID 0 with the one currently in the computer.

Never before have I seen such a shining example of hard drive bottlenecking.

There should be a rule that professors and TAs have to be available on the last day to drop classes, and failing that, that an e-mail needs to be sent to everybody registered for their class a week ahead of time (if possible, at least an e-mail to everybody ASAP) saying they will not be available on that last day and who to get ahold of.

This is so goddamned frustrating.

school, work

My kindergarteners are gonna kill me. :)

I spent $250 on dress clothes in the past week. OUCH!
…oops, make that $300, missed the JCPenney sale I was gonna catch to order my blazer.

I need to figure out what classes I’m going to take next semester.

People at work should stop being stupid.

Wedding planning bonanza at my place, 24/7/365.

The Stars finally won a game!
…too bad their first home game against the Aeros isn’t until bloody February. (For those that don’t know, the Houston Aeros are [NHL] Minnesota’s farm team.)

Minnesota is kicking ass this year. Gaborik should be back in the lineup tonight.

Hockey in general kicks ass this year. Too bad fucking Mediacom can’t get their shit together so the nationally televised games aren’t being shown.

Ummm… that… that’s about it.

Peoria 5, Iowa 4

All-in-all it was a pretty good game… Iowa came out kind of jumpy, but settled into a groove for most of the game. Couple of really bad goals in the second, including a little “oops! That was supposed to go in the OTHER net!” action. Couldn’t quite make the comeback, though, even though they spent the last 4:30 on the power play (and 2:00 of that on a 5-on-3). Oh well. Can only look up from here!

Arena looked kind of empty, but the attendance was 8,067, and the AHL’s average attendance was just a little under 6,000 last year, so I guess it’s not too bad.

Well, Dreamhost just doubled my storage and allowed unlimited domains and subdomains.

That’s in addition to the weekly 40MB increase in space and 1GB increase in monthly bandwidth.

I really like this company.

iPods and history posted at 5:35 AM

First of all, I have to say that you really have no appreciation for just how small the iPod Nano is until you carry it around for a day. You don’t even notice it, it barely weighs a few ounces. Light enough that it could be carried around just by the headphone cord and it wouldn’t come loose.

My only gripe about it is that the sync is USB only, which means my PowerBook is out of the syncing game unless I want it to take a year. Oh well.

I finally snapped yesterday. I’m in year five, and I have two drops left. So now I’m gonna have one drop left. History is pissing me off and stressing me out, and I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in what I’m learning. I don’t even know why I bothered trying the same class again knowing that. I’m going to take 222, which is more recent and more interesting to me, and I’ve heard that the professor is great. I don’t know *when* I’m going to take it, but oh well.
