It's too expensive for that!
We have been in serious need of a better and bigger bed for awhile now.
I have been doing research and all that...Good mattresses are just stupid expensive but we are tired of tossing and turning and waking up sore and misserable.
We bought a King sized Southerland brand for $1000
We pick it up on Wednesday and i plan to sleep that night for a good 12 hours...comfortably!

It doesn't happen very often...but i have nothing to do at work.
Which is a bad thing because i need stuff to put on my time card

So there was a nasty bug in the lightbox plug in that makes the pictures work...I was kinda on the right track in what was goin wrong but i am so out of date with web page programming. PHP, CCS and javascript have come a long way since the days of me knowing anything about HTML. A friend of mine, Taintedsancity helped me greatly in coming up with a fix.
Thank You Kitty (^_^)
There is still work to do, like clean up some of the things i did while trying to come up with a solution and i still have to modify the CCS into the modified one i use. So for now the other blogs will not work and the main one will have a few things that i don't like until i get around to it.

my blog software was out of date and in need of updating.
The code is all updated but things will not be back to normal for some time as i integrate the customizations i made to it into the new code.

the fun/frustrating part about Linux is getting everything working correctly.
And things change with new distro versions.
Got the second video card working.
Got skype working with my webcam using a modified version of the code i needed to get it running before
had to ditch Pulse audio because it still sucks ass in Ubuntu and installed ALSA
got voice chat working, mostly, in secondlife.
i noticed that my system did not install the PAE version of the kernal so it's not seeing all my RAM so i need to switch to that kernal...wonder what all i got fixed will now break when i do that

well..sure 10.10fixed the Python issue but my second video card refused to show up. Lots of re-installing, re-formating and re-installing, cursing, scouring the internet for answers i found the solution.
It was hard because finding information on a linux issue is a pain. It seems everyones install is different and everyones opinions are unflappable. My machine did not give me the error in the kern.log that would have pointed right to the issue. Apparently the 32bit ubuntu's have a glitch where by it doesn't allocate enough memory at boot up to initialize the second card. Adding a kernel parameter to the boot up command fixes it (vmalloc-256M). What is odd about it is that version 9.X works out of the box, my install was an upgrade from 9 and i never saw this issue. Even when i installed 9 and upgraded this time, i still got the issue....
Either way its fixed...mostly...i am having to edit my grub menu.lst to add the pram because the directions for adding this pram permanently doesn't match the file structure in my system. It is likely the reason for that is my version of grub is old...but it works so whatever.

One, Will lost his job and they are fighting his claim for un-employment...that's bull shit.
two, some time ago i installed Blender (a 3-d object creation software) to do things to my avatar in secondlife. The scripts i wanted to plug into the program are not compatible with Python 3 (current version for Ubuntu 10.04) so i stitched in Phython 2.6. Things in Ubuntu have become progressively unstable and google is not helping me figure out how to un-do the damage. I am currently upgrading to 10.10 in the hopes the re-compiles will fix the problem. Time will tell.

We went to some haunted houses, never been to the ones we went to *giggles* they were funny.
Then we went out on the town for some much needed fun with some friends of Will's from his X job place.
(^__^)

Will lost his job. (-_-);
Well..at least he can get caught up on school work that his job has been getting in the way of.
We will make it, but he is pretty pissed and bummed about it.
*hugs his Wuf*

Yup, i am older.
Will got me Metroid The other M for my birthday. Mom's present to me was a weekend of doing nothing; which i needed.
It's been awhile since i pulled an all nighter playing a game; but i beat the game with %100 completion. The story of the game was very good, as were the visuals of the cut scenes. *spoilers* It was more like playing a movie with a game in it, which is an interesting way for a game to go. Some people don't care for it but i like it. The game play and mechanics however, suck. As far as game play, this is the worst metroid game ever. It was not a true 3-d game like the last few metroids, it was more iso-morphic which i hate and the developers did some really bone head things. Like putting you in a situation with a boss where you have zero idea how to beat the thing. After dying endless times you start mashing the buttons randomly or beat the controller against your head until something happens and it's like "oh! now i know what to do". The way they handled using the wiimote was horrid for game play, having to constantly move the controller from two handed horizontal to one handed vertical caused tons of issues and when you did go from iso-morphic view to first person you always seemed to be looking in the wrong direction from where you were...a real problem when you are battling a 6 story bad guy that can kill you faster than you can say "oh shit!"

Got Ubuntu and OSX to play nice on the Macbook.
(^__^)
Still needs a little work, like a new battery and figure out why the screen back light
09/20/11
Well it's Remicade time again.
The Macbook is not playing nice; Ubuntu hangs when booting the live CD, might be the version. I will try 10 instead of 11. Or its the fact that the battery is completely dead 
nothing else going on, worked this weekend on some drywall in the house. Its almost all done, not much really left on the house to finish. Still very financially challanged...I don't really see any way out of it.
My Wuf is doing okay at work and School but it's taking its toll. I have confidence in him however.
09/13/11
so, i inherited moms MacBook...hrmm...what to do with it.
I know! I will dual boot it to MacOS and Ubuntu Linux!
09/06/11
sucks kinda...i am on call for the entire month 
I would not mind it for A trial but not a whole month of them
08/16/11
okay..so once again i am going to try and customize my Avatar in SecondLife, since i got a new one...trying to figure it out with a 2d program is not working so i thought i would try Blender again, installed just fine but will not install the SL Primstar scripts. no, they are for a previous version of Blender..okay...so i DL the previous version but it will not install because my version pf Python is to new, i install the older version, but blender still says i need it...fuck!
