A day in the life of your average geek....

Okay, our first installment. I just want to know, have you seen all the new tech coming out? I mean this stuff is just freakin cool. Dual cores, dual video, more speed, more power. I have my eyes set on an Iwill AMD dual proc board. Have two 800 series dual core opterons in there, with 8 Gbs of ram, 4 400GB sata hds running in raid 10, and two Geforce 7800 GTXs. Man, now that would rock out loud. Now I know most people would just say to go with the FX-57 because the multi core stuff won't mean anything in games. My answer; Yet! That's right. The next wave of game and application development is to include code that will benefit those who have more than one core. I realize its kinda the early adopter thing at this point, but you have to admit this stuff is cool. At the least, the next PC I build will have an X2 in it. I just wish I could build it now. I am currently running an Athlon XP 1800+, 256MB RAM, 120GB hd, dvdrom, CD burner, AGP geforce4 TI 4200 128mb, and a 17" CRT....

Ah yes. The words heard round the walls of my mind as the Lord's voice calls. Don't ever think that God doesn't have a sense of humor, because you would be wrong. Why is it that people seem so hell bent on doing it themselves? Why do we want to rely on our own powers so much? I ask myself this question because I realize that I do it more often then not. And the answer is, because its our nature as humans. Thats part of the fall I guess. Once we realized the difference between good and evil, the flaw was placed in our hearts and then we "thought" we knew something. I realize that there is a higher power, and I believe in Him today. I realize that the downfall for me has been that I wanted to do it on my own. "Morpheus : Do you believe in fate, Neo? Neo : No. Morpheus : Why? Neo : Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my own life. " That is one of my favorite quote, wanna know why? Of course you do. Its because it blu...

Another day in paradise. I really hope that lotto win is in my future. :P But seriously, what in the world makes this life so hard sometimes. I look at a co-worker of mine today. A nice and most of the time sweet woman, but today, well lets just say that mental train wreck is an understatement. Have you ever watched someone work themselves into a stress frenzy? Believe you me, its not a pretty site. This woman just doesn't have a clue on how to relax. I know things can be stressful, I mean hell, look at the last post, but come on! She has high blood pressure and the doctors keep prescribing new meds, but the problem is not her blood pressure as much as it is her stress level. Anyway, she needs to get a new bowl, cause someone just pooped in her post tosties. Anywho. Its Monday. Very much monday. No matter how hard I try I just can't keep up. I guess thats the fun of working IT. Well, not much else going on, just waiting to hear from the banker. Asta laweygo, o...

I sit here this evening, listening to the hum of our janitors realizing a terrible truth; just how much I hate my job, and that there is nothing I can do about it. Not a dern thing. I mean come on. Where else am I going to find a job that pays as well as I have here in western oklahoma? I'm not, and that is what saddens me the most. I guess the real truth is that I am just down about my finacial situation right now. I'm broke. I'm beyond broke. I'm flat busted and I have no idea what I'm going to do. Everything is on the verge of getting turned off, and I can't pay. I'm trying to get something going with my banker, but I am just so affraid that there will be nothing that he can do. I have to figure something out. But I guess all i can do is trust in the Lord that has sustained me thus far. We've been down before, but not this low. If this keeps up, I'll have to ask my dad for money, and I would much rather have a root canal as do that. ...
