Froyd's Rants

Second draft of the dissertation is done, and being sent off to my two readers tomorrow morning, bright and early. Kinko’s closes at 8pm on sundays, but opens at 6. I am going to run over there and send it off.

Then I’m going to settle in for a very long day of guilt-free diablo 2 playing.

editing the damned thing now. I’ll be done with all of those this afternoon, will go print it out tomorrow and send it out, and get on to the next step. It’s seriously cutting into my vidjagaming time.

to report recently, I do have an announcement, but that’ll have to wait. I don’t feel like blogging about it yet. It’s not big.

Just doing some spring cleaning on the computers in my household. I took apart the desktop yesterday to airblast it out, and reinstalled an ancient cd-rw drive in it (something like 8x8x4)…my external one that I had had for 6 or 7 years finally bit the dust. Sure this one is slow, but it reads discs a lot better than the dvd drive…or at least, discs that have a few odd scratches on them so no complaints.

I cleaned some files on my win98 laptop as well yesterday, and today I”ve got my winxp laptop hooked up to the external monitor and am cleaning a bunch of programs off of it that I don’t use any longer and which are just taking up space. Since it is relegated to backup, a lot of them have to do with the web design that I no longer do so that stuff is getting deleted.

Other than that, a nice easy week in the vida del froydo…just taking care of stuff that I haven’t gotten around to in a while.

Apparently the authorities have found him now.

how do you MISPLACE someone like that? I mean, just look at uhaul rentals in the last couple days in the city, I suppose…you could track them down.

My favorite part of this entire story is when they quoted the arrest warrant as saying “The defendant has avoided the custody proceeding and has concealed the child”…
“Ma’am, what’s the gigantic 555lb hump behind the couch?”
“umm…old national geographics…”
“Very well…when we find him, you’re in trouble.”

tonight I’ll scan through it, and tomorrow…EDIT!

is officially done, and grades have been entered…heeeelllloooooo job search!

so far, I have talked to 3 different techs, one more, MAYBE THEN I’ll have an account number and the amount that we owe for the bill.

There had better not be a late charge.

Make that 5.

Nope 6 people.

Make that 8 now.

Finally got someone who knew what was going on, successfully paid the bill.
