Well...the shits hitting the fan again at work today----- Okay, scratch that...everything is good again. Just a few more days to go till my trip, I went and bought some clothes today....spent way too much money than I needed and I still need more clothes. (I guess that's what I get for always tryin to get the expensive clothes) I just found out my car rental is gonna be a no go, the place where I wanted to rent from only rents to people over 25 and I am only but a mere 24 yr old. oh well. I still can not connect to my router from work, but I guess that was because I still haven't tried to fix the settings on it...I'll get to that after the trip. I was trying to look up information about my upcoming trip to the bahamas and from what I can tell its pretty damn expensive if you start doing a lot of stuff. I know I want to sky dive, scuba dive, swim with the dolphins, jetski, and some other stuff that's gonna start adding up. I can just use money I was gonna use for the car on activities and food. I'm gonna be without computer access for the week though, that sucks. I saw something where I could pay $30 for a week of internet access but I think that money would best be spent in the club...oh yea! Speaking of oh yea, I also fixed my air conditioner in my car....well it didn't really need fixing, it just needed to be recharged and they have this kit out now where you can do it for like $29....oh yea! Now I just need to get everything else fixed on the "6000" then I'm good to go.

Okay next time something works...I'm not gonna try to fix it. I changed the stupid template on here and it of course took away some of the stuff I added on to my blog. I guess I should have read the fine print more carefully

Do you ever get those days where you just get mad for no reason, I think I had one last night...just out of the blue I was mad. I didn't really have anything to be mad about but I would try to find stuff to make me even madder. Very silly....I'm fine now, I think I pretty much need to be ignored if I get like that though. (Information for anybody who happens to catch me during that time) I don't have anything technical to post, I did however
become a registered GNU/Linux user. :D I don't think everyone else really cares that I did but hey I'm glad. I do have a problem connecting to my smoothwall box from work, I think there was something I didn't enable...I'll fix that later. I've been lurking on the JustLinux Forums and I just got through reading through this forum. JustLinux Forums - you know when you are addicted to linux when..... Funny stuff.

Birthday time coming up....another year older. Well my birthday this year should be pretty interesting as I'm going to the bahamas. I'll have to make sure to try a little bit of everything while I'm there to soak up the experience. I don't think I'm as excited as I should be, but I think I really don't get excited about it till I get to a place that I'm going. I went to Germany last year but I really didn't say much about it till I got there and that was a damn good trip. On a side note...I almost got my Redhat box (halfpinthp) how I want it, I spent the longest time trying to figure out XFree and Xinerama. I got it working (sort of) but my second monitor just comes up with a resolution of 800x600 and I can't change it...oh well, I'll just wait a few more months then work on it. I also did a router upgrade not too long ago so now I'm running SmoothWall GPL 2.0 beta5 "Orient". So far its working great, it even managed to get my connections to my playstation running decent. Now I just need to work on the dynamic dns and vpn then I'm all good. I also have an idea for TechLife I always wanted to make a place where people could come and ask questions about anything technology related and get an answer. Well...really if people try really hard and look for it they can already find places that will do that for them. Plus I realized I'm not always the one that likes to answer computer questions all the time. So I figured I'll just write up some stuff on what I need help with or things that I'm working on. Like I'm still working on building my ubernetwork that I'm gonna use to....well let's just save that for later but I am still working on it though. I think it would be better for me to just solve problems and then tell people how I did it and then if there are any questions about that...I'll be glad to answer them. So now that I've found direction...let's get started.
