Just as mysterously as my internet connection disappears, it returns. Bringing with it a variety of interesting things.

Check it out. Be Inc (as in BeOS) have put their remaining assets up for auction. Man, if I had some spare cash, I’d love to get a BeBox or maybe one of their Sony e-Villa house computers. Cool.

As for my evening. I’m putting together some Photoshop stuff for class tomorrow. The professor wants to see ideas for what our next website project will look like. I’m also trying to track down a copy of IE6.22. I can’t find it anywhere. I know I found it on BetaNews a month or so ago, but it’s seems to not be there anymore. MS has no mention of a beta on their site either. I really liked it though. It was much more stable than 6.0, which is crashing every few minutes on me. Any ideas where to find it?

Hmm… tried to visit my own site and it didn’t work. I wonder if it’s my crappy cable modem or if something else is broken. It pings ok. Dunno. Maybe someone else knows.

I’ve also decided that today there shall be no classes. I’m sleepy. I didn’t sleep well last night so I’m going to go back to bed. I actually haven’t been sleeping well for a while. I’m not sure what it is. So, instead of classes, I’ll go grocery shopping when I wake up. I checked my bank account and the available balance shows the newly deposited check, so all is good.

More later.

I got bored and tried to figure out if I could ever become a millionaire… guess what? It’s not going to happen. The Bank of NH has this cool little link about investing and given how much you put in it calculates how long it will take for you to be a millionaire. Check out what it said to me:

“If you invest $1,000 now and $100 monthly at 6 percent , you’ll be a millionaire in 93 years at age 114.

To be a millionaire at age 65, you’ll need to:
Increase the amount you invest now to $173,791, or
Increase your monthly investment to $748, or
Achieve a rate of return of 17 percent if you pay tax on earnings or 10 percent if you don’t.
When adjusted for inflation, $1 million in 93 years would be equivalent to $61,635 today.”

Huzah! When I’m 114 I can finally be finacially secure. Hehehe. I guess it’s not gonna happen huh? Oh well. Guess I’ll have to do it the old fashion way… scratch tickets here I come.

I now know why my check hasn’t cleared… it wasn’t deposited. I guess my folks were waiting till they knew what was going on before doing anything with it. Still.

So, by later this week, the check will have cleared and I’ll be able to do stuff again. It looks like there won’t be a computer upgrade though. Maybe, but the odds aren’t in it’s favor.

Anyway. Another day, another photo shoot. This time it was “metalic objects” so I brought in one of my Zippo’s. I actually went into the studio around noon and shot until class time. So, all I had to do was wash my negatives and leave. Now I’m home and I’m debating if I should take a nap, take a shower, eat something, or a combonation of the above. We’ll see.
