Ooooo.… Big hard drive.…
Yay! I finally ordered a new hard drive! It is a 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA. I got it for $109 — $36 GC — $25 GC + $0 S/H = $48. Yeah, 500GB drives are available, but they cost like $200 to $300. The 320GB model has a much better price/GB ratio.
I’m going to try to leave [...]

My new keyboard arrived!
Hurray! A new keyboard! And I almost entirely like it! It has a few quirks that I don’t entirely enjoy, but overall it is pretty good. Again, this is the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000.
Things I like:
The black and silver and very sharp looking. Even the “Do Not Remove — Safety Information” tag is designed to blend in.
Lots of [...]

Yodlee OnCenter
So I’ve been using Yodlee for YEARS and recently they decided to rollout a new and “improved” version. It sucks. Really really really bad. Its horrible. They took one of the most useful pieces of technology available on the internet and took out everything wonderful about it and threw in a few (many) handfuls of [...]

Random stuff that I feel like writing about
So uh. Yeah. Random stuff. Lets see:
Some lady wants to put my Ideal Mate list in a book. Neat. I said sure. Her page is at http://www.todolistblog.com if you are curious what it is all about.
Got an email from Rachel today! Haven’t heard from her in FOREVER. Like seriously. Its been.. uhh.. probably around 1 1/2 years since I [...]

Bleh.. I feel terrible.
Yeah I feel like crap. My heart has been acting funny the past couple days. Its that darn mitral valve prolapse crap I think. Stupid defective heart. Oh well. It normally calms down after a few days.
Yup my life is dull. Been working on the Fake Name Generator some more. Its a fun little project. Up [...]

*Yawn*
What a boring day. What a boring couple of days even.
Spent some time putting more name sets and countries up on the Fake Name Generator. You can now generate names in 8 languages for 6 countries. And I’m getting pretty close to having Germany ready to put up. Its those darn phone numbers that take forever. [...]
Impermeable Rock
Impermeable — Material that does not permit fluids to pass through it.
So my sister shows me this posh new water called FIJI. On the back is a little graphic showing where the water comes from. So apparantly it rains unto a volcano, and then goes through the dirt, and then somehow magically gets past this [...]

*blink*
About halfway through season 4 of Alias. One thing that drives me crazy is how these field-trained and battle-hardened agents close there eyes before shooting a gun. Umm.. Correct me if I’m wrong… But uhh.. Don’t you kind of need your eyes open in order to aim the gun?
Another annoyance: How come every tech gadget blinks [...]

Awesome replacement DNS
Found this on digg. This cool DNS has some neat features, such as automatic typo fixing (.cmo to .com) and a huge cache. In other words, this is generally faster than the DNS that your ISP provides.
In fact, I think this fixes the annoying “can’t browse the internet while downloading using bittorrent” problem I’ve been [...]
