For some reason my time was an hour off, not sure if it was my fault or my hosts. I'm gonna miss being an hour in the future, or was it the past, crap I can't remember now. Time was wrong, now it's right. I remember that with my old host I could never get the time right.

I've been a member of lala.com for about a month now and wanted to post an update. It is freaking awesome! Haven't had a non-playable or scratched to hell cd yet. So far I've traded 30 cd's by their count. I've sent 16, received 14. Not sure why lala combines the two figures... In my mind I've only traded 16 and am owed 2.

If you have a bunch of cds you don't want anymore I'd do lala before I'd take 'em to a used music store or pawn shop. Haven't been charged anything yet, that will come next month. If I read everything correctly I'll be charged one dollar for each cd I received, so it should be 14 bucks as of today.

I waved my magic wand and erased an ugly exchange that was going nowhere. Maybe I am a fairy if I have a magic wang, er wand... There was very limited crying, all due to allergies. And to tell the truth there is no magic in or about my wang, I do find Pixie type women attractive. Sadly, there are no Pixies anywhere around my wang at the moment.

Makes me want to read the "graphic novel" aka comic book that inspired the film. David Cronenberg makes some neat movies. Sort of implies that violent talents are genetic.

I want to be able to use that phrase somehow someday. Percy pussy per se'. Percy Sledge likes to pet his pussy cat per se.

Currently Listening Shut Up You F**king Baby! by David Cross

Attempted to play a mp3 cd in my car cd player. Didn't work because my car stereo doesn't support mp3. Ok, fine, let's listen to the radio then, but no, there is no sound from the speakers. WTF? Somehow that mp3 cd borked the whole auto audio system. Fixed it by pulling the fuse, sort of a reboot kinda, had to re-enter all my radio station presets. Sucks that I fixed it because I wanted to use the broken radio as an excuse to get a different car. Maybe the oil leak should be enough of a reason to get another car?

Have a look. It matters if you want to write anything. This is what school is for, why don't they teach this kind of stuff? Side note, Dad went to Purdue. Go Boiler Makers! Stop dying your hair Gene Keady! (notice the correct usage of your vs. you're or you are)

Gosh, not sure this is legal, trading CDs via the mail. I've signed up...not sure I want to give my credit card info... If I'm just sharing my cds why do I need to give my credit card info? Think it's in beta right now. lala.com Welp, gave in and provided some cc stuff. Costs a dollar (plus 49 cents postage) to borrow trade a cd from another la la member. So, if this really works I can rip all kinds of cds in any format I want, at any bitrate I want, for only $1.49 each. Who buys CDs anymore? Eh it's a beta, we'll see what happens. For some reason I thought I was just lending CDs, don't think that's the case, I'm trading my CDs and won't be seeing them again. That's ok, just gotta make sure I make some backups of my ripped cds.

update: Got my shipping kit today! Sending out 5 cds tomorrow, wonder if I'll ever get any of the CDs I've requested for trade...

update: One Four Five of the CDs I wanted in trade is are on it's their way, Woo Hoo!

Looks like I forgot to pay my utility bill last month. Damn, I'm lazy. Fugit, I'll pay it when they send me to collections, I can't be bothered. What an ass am I.

I was hoping if I Dr. Bonded aka super-glued the power connector thingy to the system board the Squeezebox would work. Sadly it doesn't. Maybe I'll take it into SouthWest Electronics and ask them to take a look. My soldering skills are teh suck.

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

iPhone glass replacement kit showed up today. The glass in the kit was broken. Shoot.

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
