What's the point?

I don't get it. This is a hack to a wireless Guitar Hero controller that plays the songs perfectly for you. Why? Isn't that the fun of the game?

Blown up again

I once again have blown up my bike. It feels the same as last time where I broke the piston. It would just spin and not develop any compression. I'm really frustrated that after all the effort to rebuild it, I lost it again. I wonder if the problem is the Indian-cast piston I used. sigh

End of an era

Today was both exciting and sad for. I began working at Novell on October 30, 1992. I worked there without stopping until today. Today, nearly 17 years after starting there, Novell terminated me as part of the partnership with ACS. On Monday I will return to thesame office buy with a contingent badge and knowing that I will be moving to a different building soon.

iPhone

I didn't upgrade to the iPhone 3G when it came out so when the 3Gs was announced this year I was eligible for the upgrade pricing. My AT&T rep called me to tell me about it and put me on the list for the first ones. My new iPhone arrived and it was simple to restore my old information to my new phone and it just worked right away...perfect! Today it was nearly out of battery power so I plugged it into my USB hub and found something disconcerting...it doesn't support being charged through the USB hub. I had to attach it directly to my computer. When connected to the hub, it told me it could sync but that charging was not supported. Maybe I need 3.01 of the software?

Guitar Hero

I've seen folk playing the fame before but I never understood how to play and all. But then my kids borrowed the game from a friend and started flipping me attitude about how they will crush dad. That forced me to practice and figure the game out and now I'm completely addicted! I crank up the volume and start playing la Grange by Zz Top. Cool!

They changed the FILESYSTEM!!!

I have had recent problems with Globat, the host where rockcanyon.org resides. They changed email and rather than warning us beforehand, they sent an email the day they did it. That caused 5 days of no email for some people yet they refused to figure out who was broken, I just had to wait for calls. Then, the SMTP server we use to send emails went down for a couple days and follow that up with they moved rockcanyon.org to another server, once again without asking or notice, and changed the filesystem. That means something that used to be in a folder named httpdocs is no longer in that folder. So all the work that went in to setting up the various automatic things involved in rockcanyon.org working are broken. And nobody at Globat told me a thing or helped me when I put in issues. I have to say, as a web host Globat is horrible. I would highly recommend GoDaddy.com or even Google if you can work within their restrictions. I'm just disgusted!

Happy anniversary, honey! 19 years and going strong!
