For the longest time, computers and computer related things have been my hobby.  Most recently building & tinkering with my HTPC has been an ongoing thing in my house, and now that it’s mostly complete (a good working setup that won’t need to be upgraded for quite awhile), It’s time to move on to something [...]

I moved recently into a much larger house. The problem arose that My little wireless Belkin router that I paid $20 for at Wal-Mart so I could use my Wii didn’t seem up to the task of covering my entire residence. It also started to have issues when more than 4 devices were connected at [...]

Welp, I’m all moved in. There’s just a few things left to get out of the old house like the Christmas decorations and whatnot.
I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time working the last week or so as well, as 3 servers out of the 10 we’re using at SkyscraperCity decided to have hardware [...]

If any of you ever get the chance to go through the process of buying a house…. don’t.
It is seriously the most difficult, time consuming, and stress inducing thing you will ever have to go through. I don’t know if having my own home is worth it. I’m generally a pretty laid back person, but [...]

I stopped by my parents house this morning as my dad needed me to help him with something. I showed my mom my PDA, and decided to show her what my blog looks like.
“What’s a blog?” She asked.
I described it a bit to her, and she says “So it’s a diary”
“Yeah, kind of”
“Who the hell [...]

Last week I was driving to pick my sister-in-law up from work to take her home, I was running a bit late and was in a bit of a rush. I made a left turn and realized there was a cop car behind me, so I checked to make sure I wasn’t breaking any laws [...]

Well, it’s July 4th. For those of you that read this and aren’t in the USA, It’s the day we celebrate our nation’s birthday. On July 4th, 1776 A bunch of stodgy, old, slave-owning, religious zealots wrote some happy-feel-good words on a piece of paper that they had no intention of holding up to. [...]

Casey, if you’re reading this and it’s before Tuesday, stop now. It’s supposed to be a surprise.
Anyway, on to the bloggyness.
I got up somewhat early for a Sunday morning. it was pushing noon. I usually wake up somewhere between 2 and 4pm due to my vampiric ways, but I had a lot [...]

Just fucking wonderful. As most of the clan knows, I’ve been pretty short on cash the past … well.. forever. I was down to my last $5, with no food in the house, and my van running off fumes. I was on my way to drop my paycheck off at the bank, [...]

So, as some of you know, I work the 3:30 to midnight shift at the local Kimberly-Clark Helpdesk (when I say local, I mean the one for this side of the world .. and because of my strange hours… the other side of the world too).
Anywyay, We get 30 minutes for lunch. So, while working [...]
