The above is a slight misquote from Jeff Foxworthy (originally, I believe it’s, “I ain’t peed in 3 days”), I don’t usually speak like that. Anyway, it’s not actually been 3 days. I showered this morning at a friends house. But I haven’t had heat or warm water in 2 days now. My landlord’s place […]
KC brought this up at work the other day and we were both relieved to find out that the other person did it the right way. “Good, I don’t work with a freak” is roughly what I think we both thought. So we figured the strange “under” people must have SOME reason. We did some […]
So the jets sat in cleaner for several hours. They’re finally clean. So I reassembled the carburetor. I may order new seals — if we can get the wiring fixed, that is. Anyway, I believe the carburetor is finished now (short of getting the darn thing back in there, which if it’s as hard to […]
Note to self: electrical fires are bad. So KC and I, with a lot of work, got the carburetor out and apart tonight. The jets are now soaking in carb cleaning fluid. But while dismantling pieces of the bike, we might have had a small spark that might have caught a wire on fire which […]
Tonight I finished the last of my Christmas shopping. It’s nice to be done. Now I just wait for stuff to arrive. Note that I do have a few odd ends – like my friends in Florida and I will just go together to shop for each other… but all major gifts that must be […]
I find that people are ever more sticking large telephone poles up their asses. If I say “hey that’s a dumb idea” it doesn’t mean “hey you’re a dumbfuck” it means “hey that’s a dumb idea.” Why are people so fucking high and mighty that they can’t accept the fact that they might have a […]
…when you can control Alek’s Christmas lights over the internet. Yay! Alek’s Christmas Light Webcam Geek’s Rule!
It has been requested I take pictures. Be forewarned, they’re not pretty — the bike is old and in pieces. But pictures are provided below. Also an update: – Got the oil changed (on this bike oil and tranny fluid are the same) – Got the electrical system happy – or at least happier. I […]
When I found out Tim Burton was redoing Charley and the Chocolate Factory, I was slightly worried. See, I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was my favorite book as a child. I didn’t find out about the original movie until I was much older, but ever since I found it, I loved that […]
I discovered the following wonderful new tools this week: – gzgrep – chrpath – elfhack If you’re a unix person, I highly recommend looking this up. gzgrep is one of those great every day admin tools (grep gz’d files), and the others are more for sysadmins that deal with broken software or complex systems with […]
So I bought a motorcycle this weekend. No, wait. Last weekend, actually. So far this week I’ve: – Had a key made for it – Purchased and installed a new battery – Drained the gas tank and refilled it – Cleaned rust off of a handful of electrical contacts – Attempted to replace the sparkplugs […]
So today I walk from my office to my girlfriend’s office picking up the package I saw waiting for her at the front desk (and signing for it). While I was already planning to pick up the package, you should not for later, that she did ask me to pick it up when I said […]
Quote of the day from the office: God sucks. God blows. God does everything. He’s God…. Erm you believe in the nice all-forgiving God, right?
So for those of you not familiar with software versioning, it’s usually decimal: 1.0. (Yeah, Microsoft does dumb things like XP and 2003, but it’s Microsoft, they’re retarded, what do you expect?) If you don’t have major huge changes, you increase the number after the decimal, otherwise you increase the number before the decimal. Some […]
So Lynn and I are driving back from San Jose Tuesday afternoon… and we pass a town. The town is called, I kid you not, “Los Banos” – which, if memory servers, is roughly “the bathrooms” in Spanish. How would you like to be from there? “Where you from Johnny?” “I’m from the bathrooms!” Yeesh.
