Well, it’s Sunday, hense forth known as National College Student Laundry Day. It seems like I’m always doing laundry on Sundays. I can’t quite explain it. At least it’s productive.
To bad it’s about 90 degrees out today. It was forcasted to be around 50, but I guess that just goes to show what a bullshit job weather men have.
So, I’m just waiting for the dryer to finish so I can get in the shower and get dressed. Afterwards I’m probably going to take a stab at a design for blogproject.com. Or maybe a little CS. At some point I wanted to finish reading my new book as well.
“Frank Sinatra and the Lost Art of Livin’: The Way You Wear Your Hat.” Actually its one of the best books I’ve read. It’s main focus is obviously Sinatra, but it’s written from the perspective of a “style guide” for men. For example, there’s a chapter on mixing drinks, a chapter on what color suits to buy, that sort of thing.
Not much else going on I’m sorry to say…

When the man tries to fuck with you… fuck’em back. Actually, Comcast did the oldest, easiest thing in the book. They simply changed all their bizarre server addresses back to the “normal” ones. Things like smtp.comcast.net, or POP3. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that sooner. I knew I put to much stock in them. I should have never thought that they’d be able to pull off something like host names. Oh well. Their loss. My gain. Damn the man and all that jazz.
Elsewhere on the field of the bizzare. I found my watch. It seemed to appear out of no where but it may have been wrapped up in some clothes that I moved. At any rate, it “appeared” on my floor last night as I was going to bed. I did a little dance and shared my jubilation with the world… or rather with my roommates. But anyway.
So, that leaves me with nothing left to “damn the man” for, at least for the time being. What ever will I do. Well, it’s a rainy Saturday, I’ll do what any good geek would do. I’ll play a little CS, maybe take a nap, tinker a bit with Flash and the rest is still up in the air.
That is all… for the moment.

Final Comcast post for the day:
You know what’s funny? I can’t give myself permission to check my mail. Isn’t that neat? The cable bill is in Pete’s name, so Pete needs to install the software, update our account, use HIS username and password to do so and then ALLOW Jason and I to have access to the mail server. WTF?
I’m now done ranting about Comcast today. I think I’m going to play some CS and try to forget why my ping time sucks donkey balls.
Carry on.

I find this very frightening…
(part of) Comcasts Customer Agreement:

Ah… the 1st ammendment… who needs it?

As a SLIGHT and I mean VERY SLIGHT upside to Comcast being assholes… we get TechTV now. They added 2 channels when they “upped” the price. I guess that makes me slightly happier… but the rest of this still sucks. Fuck Comcast.
