Grrr!I just took apart a Sony Vaio VGN-S260 laptop that I sold to quick format the hard drive (the power regulator is shot, so I had to remove it to do anything with it). Just to remove the hard drive, a service part, it took no less than 20 some odd screws, removing the keyboard, the wifi button, aaand still had to squeeze my screw driver in because I didn't want to disconnect the touch pad!On

Oh, Lord please grant me a good tax return!Right now it's a little bit a stink spot for me. I just traded in my Scion for a 2003 Mini Cooper which I've been loving, but the transmission is now eating itself after about 2.5 weeks of ownership. Thankfully, the dealer has been helpful and although International Autos wanted me to pay up front for the repair costs (new transmission and BMW service

Thankfully, eBay turned one up as a buy it

There is a group that is on Facebook which I wish didn't exist, who's only purpose from what it appears is to harass and instigate others, specifically those in the armed forces serving the United States.I have reported the group before to the Facebook staff, but I have yet to see any change. So, I'm going to openly post the reporting that I am doing to the staff of Facebook until I get a

Well, to those who are interested, I am no longer working for Dretison Technologies, but now again working for Honeywell HomMed. Long story short, didn't like what I was doing/disagreements with others, old friends called and got things in motion, and now I'm back.Kind of stinks though that I'll forever be 'the new guy.'

So, as a birthday present to myself, I decided to get myself a new camera. I already have a Nikon D50 with a few lenses now and other stuff, but I didn't have a compact camera to take places where a DSLR just wouldn't fit or be too much of a pain to carry with the bag and such.I first saw the W30 a while back, but at that time it was the previous model, the W20. A compact point and shoot that

I'll be upfront on this: I do not like HP or Compaq PC or server hardware. Their printers are just fine (the low end ink jets though have gone down in quality I think, and their driver support for different versions of Windows has been a point of anger also).However, I've had two separate headaches with converting a Compaq SR1954NX desktop from Media Center XP to plain jane XP Pro.First, and I

Alright, the angerness subsided. A lot of things came together and fell apart and was really frustrating me. God's got a much better plan though, so I'm waiting on that.

This summer so far has turned into be very eventful. My car has gotten smashed up, I've moved, changed jobs, missing a friend, pondered where God wants me, made steps to improve on a lot of things, taken just as many steps backward as I have forward, and I can't wait to see what God has planned.Where ya taking me Lord?

After trying to setup HTTP access for one of our developers to login to SourceSafe from remote, I ran into a bunch of issues. I was getting a bunch of 404 and 401 errors coming up on the server. After looking at what was on the system, I found Microsoft SharePoint Server running, so I removed that and rebooted. Not sure exactly what the problem/conflict was, but I'm guessing it has something

So, there have been a lot of changes going on at my office here before I leave, and there are a lot of 'whoa' type changes going on.I'm not finding a good adjective to describe what's going on, but when I do, I'll use it.

Hey all,so there is some news to be had.First - my Scion tC had a run in. Well, a van had a run in with my Scion which then pressured my Scion to introduce itself to the backend of a Nissan 350z then inspect the guard rail on the beltline in Madison. Yea, she's hurt bad, but she's getting fixed up right as rain. You can look on my Flickr page and look at the photos there.Also, do go there

Hey all,this is an update to my previous note about my trip that's coming up on the 22nd to Buenos Aires, Argentina.Right now, I've got my passport, I've got my plane ticket purchased, and I have my camera, lens, and camcorder on their way. My Fuji S3000 camera didn't work to well in low light as it was, and my Sony Handycam had a fried firewire port which meant I wouldn't be able to edit the

I had this error today on an install of Oracle 9.2 on a server, and after some searching around, all I was able to find were documents referring to error 729 or 723, but not my handy little 733 error.

Hey all,Long time since I've had a chance to post anything. Or had anything that I really felt like posting.So, with that, I need to make an announcement. I am now on the team for Alliance Bible Church to go to Buenos Aires, Argentina on a short terms mission trip. I will be going from April 22 to the 30th. So, not long, but it's also not far off.On the note of not-far-off-ness, I need to

See, we now have a small tradition in the office.If someone goes on vacation or a confrence or something where we have enough time, we do something to your workspace.It started innocently enough with dressing up some superhero toys in Barbie clothes.However, now it's stepped up a little.The bad thing. I go and have vacation left that I need to use up, so I've taken every Friday off till the end

So today is the day. The day we put all of this stuipd arguing to use and voice our opinions. Oh, wait, Jesus has returned!So, with your vote on this issue, with all the back and forth that has occured, where did you vote? The ballots may be anonymous to the world, but Jesus knows what you cast. Jesus also knows what your heart holds.Contemplate that today. My mind is clear of guilt on this,

Right now, there is a story running (here) about a young girl in California who maybe should have thought twice when she posted to her MySpace page her thoughts on President Bush.Well, I don't know what she was thinking might happen.

Well, sadly, the Saturn SL2 that I had come to know and love, has met it's end. Ducky has left my possession with some coolant issues, some engine issues, and some, well, issues (and I'm talking physical, the car has emotional scarring that will never be fixed).So, now, God has blessed me with the job I have and place I am financially, so I used that to purchase something that I won't have to

I don't know about any of you, but I've had a lot of time to think recently. It's great. I've had a lot of time then to get closer to Jesus, and realize things and correct hopefully other things.One thing that has come to mind is how much I have wanted things to change. I've wanted to be better at mixing sound, to lose weight, to know my Bible better, to be dating, to cook better, to have a

Hey all,I thought I should update you all on what is going on.Tomorrow morning I have an interview for a promotion of sorts to Senior Systems Administrator at my office. I am extreamly excited for it right now. If I get it, I get it. If I don't, I don't. God's got it under control and His power, so it's all good. But I'm still excited.Please pray for me!Thanks, it's time for bed for me.

Things are better today. Work is more manageable, etc, etc, etc. I'm being proactive to avoid issues in the office, and getting things done ahead of time for church this weekend. All good things.Other than that, I've got some things I've been praying about that I think I need to move on. Some really good things that I'm being nudged on.

So.This week kinda sucked. Lots of stress at work, lots of lost sleep, and I'm hoping I wasn't a jerk to anyone in the process. Well, I don't think I was atleast.

What follow are my impressions on it (so, if you're not interested that much on what I think about the board, skip down a little).This board replaced our tried, true, and versatile Yamaha M3000. To be honest, the M3000 is a great board. However, after we changed the direct out

So, the trip out east was pretty darn good. Fun, but I'm still catching up on sleep from it. No, the hotel was not the problem. The room was awesome, and so was just about everything else. I just could not fall asleep. No matter what I did, the most I could get was an hour or two, max. Then, get up, do something, then repeat. Yea, not fun.

This is one of the houses that was all in a row that was from the 1700's.I understand, it's someone's house. Yes, I know it doesn't look like much. I still think that something from that time is pretty awesome to have around today, even as simple as it might be.

This one I couldn't get far enough away to get the whole structure in the shot. This is a school building for the town. I thought it looked kinda sweet.

Ok, I don't have any idea even what this building is, but it looked cool to me.

Ok, so I'm a sucker for some of this stuff. I mean, it was cool to walk around and have buildings from over 100 years ago here and there and everywhere. We just don't have much of that in Wisconsin.

No, this is not the new addition that Alliance is throwing on. It's a church from downtown Longmeadow where I was this last week. Obviously I've gotten home safe, and I'm finally making my way to posting the photos.

Well, as some of you know, I'm going to be gone for the next 2 days in Mass.No, not a pleasure trip. Althought I'm thinking it'll be fun, it's for work. I'm not complaining though. I'll enjoy it. I'm leaving right before the Superbowl (which, I'm OK with missing, it's the commercials I want). I'll be coming back on Tuesday afternoon.So, if you try to get a hold of me during that time, good

Thursday I went and saw Lifehouse with Brandon and Scottie. Oh my word, that rocked.Ok, The Rave has it's accoustic and aestheic limitations, and the loads of second hand smoke, it was very good. I saw them the first time in 2003 during their tour for their album Stanley Climbfall. They have been a favorite band of mine for a while. Most of the time I can throw them on and be a happy clam.

Alright, I'm a happy campter now.Since about Saturday afternoon, we've been without heat here in the appartment. Sunday, we got into the 40's, and this morning it was 52. Yes we called the landlord.Yes we called a contractor, but we were giving the landlord the benifit of the doubt, and waiting to have him or his wife get this fixed. We didn't want to have to fork over the money for this to get

Hey all.It's Monday.This weekend was long but good. Had the prayer confrence at the church which rocked. I wish I had remember about it and told more people about it. You all missed a great speaker and time of prayer. It's really kicked my pants in terms of my prayer life.However, it did give me a good chance to kinda hang out with Pastor Brian in the sound booth and kinda chill. Figured out

Offically, I'm a student of Carroll College now. I'll be going part time starting around 2 weeks. As soon as I have a campus e-mail, I'll update my Facebook page.Well, we had an awesome concert last night with No Longer Micah and Crimson Theory. They did a great job for the youth over at Alliance. Even if N.L.M.'s bass guitar had a battery pickup and the battery died half way thru the show.

Some of you know Eugene. He's an awesome guy. If you have not had the chance to get to know this guy, you are missing something pretty slick. Not only can he play piano/keyboards super awesome like, computer nut, tech nut, God nut, he is a great guy just period.He's going back to Belarus soon. Why? Visa issues. It really makes me mad, sad, and frustrated. I don't want to lose my friend.

So, looks like we have a pretty definitive answer as to what Joss Whedon has to think the future o TV will look like. And I have to say, I agree for the most part. I only think there will be even more CSI. Also, I am feeling pretty sick. I mean like, cold, I feel like garbage sick and I don't want to do anything sick. Bleh. Stay away, plague!Lifehouse is coming to town also. January 26th

So. Tomorrow I have to go back to work. A lot has been done in the last few days.1 - Upgraded my recording setup. I might still be borrowing microphones from the church, but atleast now I have moved up from my Lexicon Omega recording interface to a MOTU Traveler. This thing is sweet I must say. Eight inputs, 4 XLR preamps built in, a great GUI on the device itself, high (like, sky high)

Hey everyone,if you don't have plans already, let me know what you have going on. I have some running around to do myself, but New Years morning, bring eggs and cheese and we're going to whip everyones stuff into big batch of omlettes. Should be a good time I think.Anyways, I have to finish up here at work. Funny they don't block this. Yet.

Merry Christmas to everyone!I hope everyone has a safe and happy time off of work and school. Yes, I know this is late. Not that I didn't want to post this sooner, but, well, between sleeping in and other things, here I am now. Whatever.Anyways. I'm up north at my dad's right now. Watching an episode of Family Guy. On Christmas. Some how this feels really wrong.Ran all three services last

Um, I'm going to be pretty much walking dead this week. Please don't be offended if I don't get back to you right away. It's exam week. And I'm working too.Getting back to cramming and jamming.Bye for now.

Holy butt, I am exhausted. After helping Meg and Cass with ushering at the Pabst Theatre last night (which, I might add, rocked my socks off), and then working on homework, today has dragged. Tonight yet I have Awana's I'm helping out with and then going to work on homework and the Pub and cleaning and I'm going to implode.Anyways, I love living with Brandon and Kris. These two are so great to

Well, I think this rightly sums up this last weekend:http://www.reallifecomics.com/index.php?do_command=show_strip&strip_id=1587&auth=00000-00000-11111-00000-00000Anyways, moving in is going somewhat smoothly. Yes, it's before I wanted to, but there were certain events that spurred that on a little faster. Oh well.So, with that, I'm still bed-less and dresser-less. Those have to wait till I

Well, I'm moving out. No, not in January when I though. That time frame has been bumped now. I have been told that 10 days is what I have to be out.That doesn't make me as upset as it does that my mom is very upset and believes I don't respect her.I don't mean to forget.I don't mean to lose track.But I always seem to do so at the worst possible times.I'll keep you all posted.

And that was it. So far, that has to be tied as the most fun I've had at a wedding ever.
