My G1 is dying. The batter is fading and seems to be doing it a lot quicker these days. Who is to blame? I’m blaming a friend of mine for going into the hospital of course.
The day my friend went in was the day that my phone over heated. This was also the same day that I closed on my house. I just really want to blame my friend, so that is what I’m going to do. It is his fault that my phone has issues now.
On the way to visit my friend in the hospital, who just happened to be 2 hours away. I thought that it would be a good idea to run Pandora and Navigation at the same time. Screen at full power as well. It was great. The entire trip was filled with maps and music. Nothing could have been better.

I have been working on my glass shop recently. I take a good bit of pride in doing things myself. I work hard both mentally and physically. Most of my mental work is done at the day job, while the physical work is done at the house. This time just focusing on my glass shop.
As I have written about getting my bench in place in the shop. I wanted to share a picture with you on it. Now it is not the best looking bench in the world, but it was made from re-purposed pallets. I wish I had more uses for pallets.

… I had this big drawn out post almost ready to go up and I deleted it. I’m not even sure that I want to write about Linux and techie type things on this blog, but what the hell right. I’m just going to give it straight to you. If you have question or trouble digesting what I’m telling you, then you will have to leave a comment (which I will write back), or you can search elsewhere in the Internet. Also most, if not all of anything PC related will be about Linux.
Onward!
You will need one of 2 thing or both of the 2 things. What 2 things? These 2 things: ssh server/client. Yes you can just install the server with out the need of the client and you don’t have to have a server if you are just going to be a client. It is best to not install what you do not need installed.

I started writing a post this morning about negative things. It was going to be a post of me bitching. I feel that I often bitch way to much and would like to just stop bitching.
I don’t really think that I’m a pessimist, but i’m not really an optimist either. I have always thought that I’m a realist. This is ofter construed with pessimism.
It is not that I see the glass half full or half empty. I see the glass full all the time. Though it might only be half full of what I want, it is still completely full. I have to accept that the other half is something that I do not want, but I do not have to like that other half.

The week started with me kicking some ass on some bushes and drainage that might be the cause to moisture in the basement. Still have not had enough rain to see if the moisture will come back again, yet. We will just have to see how that goes.
[staying on topic -1]
Monday was a good day. Knocked somethings out around the house that just needed to get done.
Tuesday I came home and played some video games. Didn’t really do much of anything else that I can recall. [sloth +1]
Wednesday I did the same as Tuesday. [sloth +3]
So I wanted to really get the sloth out of me big time. I needed something that would make me feel good and get some accomplishment back in the blood. I wanted, no, I needed a good start to the weekend. Yes, I know I’m at work right now and it is not really the weekend.

For those of you that read the old blog, you should know that the house is coming along smashing. It really has been busy around here, yet I still feel like I have been slacking.
Two weeks ago I found mold and mildew in the basement. My brother and I ripped all of the drywall out that had mold and mildew on it in one day. It was quite the job and enjoy able work.
The following day, after gutting out part of the basement, the AC went out at the house. We only had one working, so then both were out. A few phone calls around led us to a guy that is HVAC certified. He is retired, so anything that required to much labor or to much cost he avoided. We got lucky and it was only $300 to get both of the ACs working.

I have been using WP for a while, mostly in the v2.x series. While I have tested other forms of blogging: blogger.com, vox.com; as well as several packaged setups: Drupal.org, Joomla.org, loudblog.com, and more.
So far the only one other than WordPress that I have gone back to over and over again, has been Drupal. I keep wishing that I could use Drupal for something. It drives me crazy that I have not been able to really get down and use the software. I feel that Drupal is just way to powerful, and complicated just enough to keep me at bay.
Images
WordPress does a great job of meeting my needs for blogging or hosting images (though I would love to have a better back end for image management and displaying). I use it help me post images to forums. I’m able to host the image myself. I don’t have to worry about bandwidth limitations (no one really hits my images enough to worry about).

I think that I’m getting better at writing first post. So I have decided to put the blog back up. This time it is located at http://mouseclone.com/blog.
I still would like to do something else with the rest of the site, I’m just not really sure yet. I currently do not want to even think about it. It will just make me feel over whelmed and I really don’t need to deal with that currently. I have enough projects to keep me busy.
Currently I am tired of not having a place to put my thoughts when I have them. I have a personal journal that I have not put ink to paper in a while. I should start writing in it more, as the written Latin characters might see the end of their days soon.
I think that I will get the pod cast back up here, though I’m really not sure I will continue that. Problem is that the car isn’t a good place to record ones thoughts. There is a ton of road noise that is hard to filter out, as well as I should be looking at the road and thinking about what I’m doing there; not thinking about what I would like to say and talk about. Very distracting, it is.
