Not Much To Say Lately

Jake7/25/2007

Title pretty much says it all…However, Kate did get a new job aaaand a new tattoo. Head over to her site and check out her new ink. Not much going on with me. Cutting grass, trying to keep up with yard work occupies most of my Saturdays now. Not that I mind. Strangely enough it allows me time to think and I also have an mp3 player that I bought specifically with cutting grass in mind. It has no moving parts so no matter how bumpy it gets on the mower it never skips.

It only holds 1G of music but so far that’s been more than enough to get me through the yard. Sooo…yea…back to work then.

Frustrated..

Jake7/10/2007

Today I spent yet another 5 hours dealing with a huge piece of shit (aka The Treo “SmartPhone”). I am so fucking tired of spending so much time on these waste of space phones. And before someone says “They work fine under Windows” yes I know they work fine under windows so fuck off…just fuck off…I don’t care how well they work under windows because I don’t work for a company that uses windows…To get them to work under Linux the way our users use them is like taking a hammer and pounding a square peg into a board with no holes at all…

I fucking hate hate using them and I hate having to support them even more. My response to people who have treos and complain about them not working under Linux…FUCK OFF!!!!!

Appendix

Jake7/2/2007

Kate is currently in the hospital with “early appendicitis”. Even though it was caught early it still had to be treated as if it could go at any time. The pain started on Saturday and wasn’t any better by Sunday so around 3:30pm we left for the hospital. After many tests and a wonderful CT scan with some *awesome* contrast the doctor told us what was ailing her.

The surgeon came and said that it had to come out so around 10:30pm she was wheeled up to the OR. She ended up getting bumped back a bit because of C-section that came in. Once that was done it was her turn. I would say she went in around 11:15pm. The surgeon came out at 12am and told me that everything went perfectly and that she’d be up in a room at 1230am. It ended up be closer to 1am when they wheeled her and she was wide awake and no longer in pain.

If all goes well she will be going home by noon Monday. So she’s fine and all is well. It’s really late and I’m exhausted so I’m going to bed. Hopefully this post makes sense..If not I’ll redo it sometime tomorrow.

***For those of you who read both Kate’s site and mine you will notice that I copied this directly from her site. Sorry about that…It’s 230am and I’m extremely tired.***
