Oprah Log

Decided to take it easy today as I was up all last night coding problem #5. As I said before, I mailed it in at like 7 this morning. No word as yet. I am sure Oprah is considering. I did get a call at like 8:30 or 9AM from Sally Jesse (my head hunter)…

Oprah Log

Finally got what is supposedly the last test from Telerama. Upon getting it, I immediately made the bone-headed mistake of locking myself out of my own home directory. *sigh* Got them to fix that (i admittedly felt really stupid) and then went to start the problem. They wanted me to write something in C, so…

today in bum land…

Talked to my mom. She stayed home from work today not feeling well, but decided to do some writing, so I gave her one of my old workshop exercises, then max1975, anisodragnfly and I critiqued it for her. Bleah… I need to do more writing. Went out and bought a birthday present for hurtsogood. I’ll…

yum chinese food

that would be the high point of my day, right there. Not that anything else is bad… just nothing much going on. Went to dinner with Anu, beststephi, danitapgh and their parents (steph and dana’s, not anu’s) for beststephi’s birthday. Granted her birthday was over a week ago, but we went yesterday. It was cute,…

lazy friday

another day of not doing much of anything… played some more madden… that’s about it… getting ready to go to happy hour. hurtsogood wants me to go to fight club tonight, but I dunno, my stomach has been feeling pretty lousy lately. Jaguar came out today. Hope to have it soon. Got a phone call…

nothing of any consequence

that’s what I accomplished today…. Did some reading… Played some Madden 2003… Made Fantasy Football Draft picks (shaun alexander, ahman green and rod smith)… Picked up my comics at Phantom… Watched Days of Our Lives… Played some more Madden… Now I’m sitting around and watching the massive electrical storm that has suddenly devoured Pittsburgh. I…

tennis and other stuff

played 3 way tennis today with wooble and max1975. Won on out of 5 sets (to geoff and max each winning 2). I’m definitely getting better, but I definitely still sucl. Arm got really tired after 5 sets, and I quit… just like to point out that wooble and I went 5 sets to max1975’s…

There is nothing sadder than…

telemarketers that don’t even try: Caller: Hello, Mr. Holly Mav: Speaking. Caller: Hello, this is Joe calling on behalf of AT&T Broadband Mav: uh huh Caller: The reason I’m calling, sir, is that our records show that you don’t currently have a cable modem or even cable television access. Mav: Yes, that’s correct. Caller: Sir,…

tennis

Played singles in the rain against wooble. Really thought I had him after I won the first set 6-2, but then lost the next set 7-5 and the final 2-6. Practiced serves for a bit before he showed up. Getting much better there. Of course it started raining right after we started playing, so the…

yawm….

First of all Happy Birthday to anisodragnfly. beststephi and I have a birthday present to give you at some point. Feeeling very tired even though its already 11 o’clock. Once again, I realize that I am not cut out for this bum thing. Have not yet received problem $5 from telerama (assuming there is a…
