I Almost Forgot

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Too all the engineers, scientists and mathematicians:

Happy pi day.

However, pi should not be truncated to 3.14.  Thus, I believe pi day should be moved to the 22 of July.  That is, 22/7.

Computer Woes

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Great.  I started really getting into my new project (codename: heaven) and my crap luck begins.  I left for the night, yesterday and when I returned, my computer was at the login screen.  I thought maybe we had a power outage, but when that happens, my TV turns on as well.

Then I smelt the most dreadful smell to a computer nerd, the chalky smell of circuits when they get too hot or fry.  I logged in and it wasn’t even a minute before the computer shut off.  It wouldn’t power back up.  This morning I tried again and it managed to power up.  I used it for about 30 minutes before it crashed again.

So far so good, but now I am behind on where I want to be with my project as well as 2 days late on the new podcast episode.
