It's never been a good place but I have been dealing with it; lately however its gotten worse and I am tired of it.
So I will be working on my resume and looking for something else.

Also; I am still getting tons of spam so I did some upgrading and editing of some of the htaccess file.
Time will tell.

The good thing about Ubuntu is even horribly broken I can boot to command or boot via a live disk and recover all my stuff.

It's been a long time since i have been to a Con.
This one is a mish-mash and has always been fun in the past.
It was my first Con and will be Will's and a local Dragon that has been hanging around us for a while whom is going with us.

It will be good to get away for a bit even if we really can't afford it.

Part of the electrical system to the 35+ year old tractor went up in smoke today; can't afford to replace the thing so i will have to do some jury rigging.

IF i stay in budget in gas and IF I don't buy any food for a month i should come up $500 short in the money i need to pay my state taxes. And that if i dont spend anything; like Will's birthday; we very much want to go to Conglomeration this year and i would need to pay for the hotel room now.
