DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just sat here writing for 20 minutes, and POOF!

Its gone!!

Here’s the just of it, because I’m lazy:

1) Why am I still Up?

2) Got a wifi AP, if you want to try it let me know, as I have no 802.11b card to try it with. Try wifimaps.com, 5 on west side, 1 on east side.

3) Uncle leaves in about an hour, leaving kids for 2 weeks. Hope Danielle comes with him to pick boys up, would like to see her. They want me to go with in 2 weeks, I dont want to, variety of reasons.

4) Apple edu discounts, BIG price drops.

5) BUY MY STUFF

And thats about where it all disappeared, page reloaded and form was blank. Yeah, that was in there too, am on blogger form because I was too lazy to open KungLog. That will show me, huh.

Ok, thats all. I don’t feel bad about leaving a small post, because this is just a boredom update. Do feel bad about losing the post, as it was pretty good. See you Monday night.

Well, Im sitting here waiting for my uncle and his family to come in. I had to clean my room today in preparation for their visit (aka unpack, finally) and found a bunch of stuff for the website, so hopefully I can get that up soon.

MacWorld has come and gone with little hoopla. This was likely the least exciting MacWorld since I started following them. We could have at least gotten the new monitors or keyboards/mice for the G5s, might have boosted sales. We did get the new G5 commercial though, which is on CNN and CNBC every 15 minutes, or on apples website if you prefer.

Still using KungLog, though I’m not completely sure why. Funny note, the spell checker thinks KungLog is spelled wrong, hah. Anyway though, maybe I will start using all these special features, maybe I will go back to just the web form, I don’t know yet.

I need to make it to BestBuy tomorrow, while the Linksys Wireless AP/4 port Router is still $59.99. Even if I get it though, its only as good as our current router till I get the AirPort card for my laptop. I’ll let you know next post.

Ok, they should be here soon, will try for a second update later tonight. If not, see you all on Monday!

untitled ranting, because I cant think of one

Hello all, and welcome to another update. This is my first post EVER to be made from KungLog rather than Bloggers HTML form. We will see how it works, and go from there.

I never worked on the website this weekend, and my Uncle Steve, Aunt Donna, and cousins DJ and Pat will be here this weekend, and the two boys will be staying for 2 weeks. We’ll see how much time I have to work, who knows.

I just spent the day drilling holes for Cat5 ethernet cable through the house. Funny, because in the next day or two I should be going to BestBuy to buy a wireless router. No matter, wireless will be convenient on my ibook, but is only 12 MB/s, compared to the 100MB/s I get from ethernet. Though, if I want speed, I can turn on IP over FireWire, for 400MB/s (those are all MegaBits per second by the way, divide by 8 for MegaBytes). Oh well, run the cables tomorrow, along with telephone and CATV up to my room. Its like I’m finally moving in, after a mere 3 months. Still have alot to unpack though.

What else… Oh, sorry about that little “blurb” last time, I don’t know what happened to me. To prevent it from happening again though, I will be adding a “For Sale” section to the webpage (yeah right, like I’ll ever get to it). But seriously, BUY MY STUFF!

Wow, good way into my post already and haven’t yet used any of the special features in KungLog. I feel bad about it. Supposed to make it easier to do bold, italic, change sizes, insert images, etc… but I don’t actually do any of that. A link now and then, but I am at a month and a half on posts with only 2 links so far, and one didn’t work so only I know where it is. Tell you what though, if you can find that first broken link, I will give you a prize. I will give you a 2 day, all exclusive (that means nothing is included, part of joke, nevermind, you missed it) trip to beautiful Omer, Michigan. Thats right, I will allow you to drive your own ass up to Omer, do whatever you want, then drive home. You can stare at the river, stare at the bar, whatever, its all up to you. No, nevermind, not in a giving mood anymore. Oh well.

Wait, where am I, damn it, I went rambling again, need to stop that.
Ok, I seem to be tired or something. Besides, drilling those holes in the walls, I’m covered in drywall and plaster dust, so I need a shower. Next update is friday, see you then.

Resistance is Futile
(where r < 1ohm)

Missed a whole post!?

Well, I competely missed the last post. I was out at Jason’s, and have been rather tired the past few nights, so decided rather than making it late I would just skip it. So, here it is, my newest post.

Lets see, hmm, Harry Potter. Wow, why the heck would anyone sit in a bookstore at midnight for a book this bad? I’m sorry, but I just don’t get it. Oh well, we will just move on.

The Apple G5 Spec leak. Wow, I hope you didn’t miss it. For whatever reason the specs for the new G5s were released on the Apple Store at about midnight last night, and disappeared by 12:30. The specs can be found online at several places, so I wont bother repeating them here. Weather they are the true specs, we wont know until Apple wants us to. Was it a hack? Was it a goof? Was it steve screwing with us? Only time will tell.

What else. My brother has a vehicle now, but no license yet (where as I have a license but no vehicle, maybe we should get together more often?). Its a 1978? K5 Blazer. Its this weird gold color and silver. Its not bad shape for what he payed, and seems to be a decent vehicle.

Ok, like I said I’ve been tired so thats all for now. Sorry about leaving you all (all 10 of you) waiting for the update only to make it so small.

See ya,
nick

The Four Announcements

Ok, a few announcements this time:

First
I finally have this timing thing down. Rather than that every 2nd day thing that never works, I am going with an every 3rd day schedule. I chose this because it is less frequent and thus easier, and because thats the schedule I seem to have been following without knowing it.

Second
I actually put real links on the sidebar now. The link to my home-page should work, let me know if not. The .mac web-page I have is rather lame, I am working on a new one.

Third
That Vervante bookstore thing has been resolved. They sent me an email reporting that Apple has stopped the publication of the books, and noted that any ADC member can print out the entire book from Apple’s ADC site. Fat chance, they’re like 300+ page books and I don’t feel like using a ream of paper plus 3 ink tanks. The good news is Apple now “recommends” the O’reilly series of books, and they now even carry the ADC seal in the corner. I plan to purchase a few of them soon.

And Forth
And MOST Important MY BROTHER GRADUATED
Woohoo, you go girl, err, boy. I really am proud of him though. It has been a tough few months and we really did wonder if he would make it sometimes, but he did it.

Ok, I am tired and need to work tomorrow, so I’ll see you all later.
