	Meeting minutes http://eightbt.livejournal.com/215517.html My teeth hurt when I breath in the cold air. I should get them cavities fixed soon. I'm not good at keeping track of my own tasks, much less ensuring that the tasks of others are completed on time. I'm so tired, I think I could fall asleep at my desk. But I can't, because I need to slave away. The next time I think that there isn't anything to do at work, don't aimlessly browse the internet. Consu More...

	India must be a sitcom http://eightbt.livejournal.com/215193.html I swear, any time I read news about India on the BBC website it's something crazy. Like this. This one especially amuses me, just the idea that someone was driving a truck with the shell of a plane, got stuck and RAN AWAY. Do you know how often I just want to run away from my jo More...

	Oops http://eightbt.livejournal.com/214841.html I didn't really want to post about working on my house. I really wanted to quote from Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Which, after purchasing the eBook from fictionwise.com over 4 years ago (!!!), I'm finally getting around to reading it. Here's the quote: When Hiro learned how to do this, way back fifteen years ago, a hacker could sit down and write an entire piece of software by himself More...

	The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire http://eightbt.livejournal.com/214606.html So I had to replace the electrical wiring to the kitchen outlets. The light in the microwave kept flickering, hell the whole unit kept turning itself off. After hooking it into a different outlet, it works fine. Sooo, I figure something is up with the wiring, go figure. No biggie, I have to replace all of the wiring eventually anyway. The fact that I have to replace all of the wiring is emphasized by t More... Published by :eightbt 2007-12-03 01:38:31.0

	I'm alive! http://eightbt.livejournal.com/214474.html Just got home from surgery. The anesthesia was actually kinda fun. Like being drunk, well...buzzed anyway. I just remember saying, "ohh this is kinda fun", and then waking up in the recovery room with Josie with a huge wad of gauze coming out of my mouth. The local anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so my whole lower jaw is still dead numb. Apparently I won't feel much pain until tomorrow or the day after More...

	http://eightbt.livejournal.com/214075.html Just got an e-mail from OLPC. Thanks to your early action, your XO laptop is scheduled to be delivered between December 14 and December 24. Our "first day" donors are our highest priority and we are making every effort to deliver your XO laptop(s) as soon as possible. We will send you an update upon shipment. Hells yes! It still pains me that Nicholas Negroponte jus More... Published by :eightbt 2007-11-29 02:26:58.0

	Nevermind http://eightbt.livejournal.com/213775.html I got a call from the oral surgeon's office from the insurance person. My estimate is a paltry $220. Much better than the full price nightmare I was thinking about earlier today. Not exactly chump change, but it's manageable. It still scares me that it's an "estimate", but that number came from Atena directly so it should be accurate. More... Published by :eightbt 2007-11-27 21:34:29.0

	Surgery http://eightbt.livejournal.com/213730.html So, I have an apointment this thursday to have all four of my wizdom teeth removed. Child services deemed that I can't take care of them, so they're taking them away from me. Did I say child services? I mean my dentist. I let the oral surgeon talk me into general anestesia, and after talking to a bunch of people, it sounds like the way to go. I even had someone tell me, "I had local anestesia for only More...

	Adult ADD http://eightbt.livejournal.com/213381.html First of all, I hate when people talk about ADD as a disease/disorder. I especially hate it when people use it as an excuse, as if somehow saying "I have ADHD" makes it okay to cut loose and be disruptive. But, that's not why I'm really writing. I just keep running into the words ADD and ADHD when I'm looking for tips to help focus attention, or to strengthen willpower (same thing really.) I look for th More...

	Wishlist http://eightbt.livejournal.com/213141.html I created a wish list on amazon.com. Link. If you actually want to buy something from the list (yah, right), but don't want to buy it from amazon.com, let me know and I'll update the list to say it's been purchased. I'm not a huge supporter of amazon.com, but they do have just about everything under the sun available, which is convenient for put More... Published by :eightbt 2007-11-18 18:30:13.0
