Anxiously Awaiting On Everything Eternal…

Cali Bound…Again.

This weekend I fly out to california for a week of fun and work. Well okay. Mostly work. It kinda snuck up on me--as do most things in life these days. This week marks my fourth week at Danger. Time flies.

Consequently I am now accepting applications and/or bribes regarding people who think they can fit in my suitecase. Lord knows I need the company. I know I'll be bored out of my flippin mind on that stupid plane; and my manager booked my return flight on Saturday. That means I have all day Friday and most of the day on Saturday to chill and hit some bay area beach action. Sweet.

I Mourn My iPod

I recently dropped my video iPod. And by drop I mean watch accelerate to ludicras speed and slam into the concrete as I hold on to the earbuds that were wrapped around it's meager leather casing (think yo-yo). After the fall the little guy gave me the ipod sad face whenever I turned it on and I could hear the mortally wounded hard drive attempt to seek to load the OS. Luckily it was under warranty. That night I jumped onto Apples support website and filled out a support ticket. The next day my dad called me and reported that a package had arrived from Apple. They had overnighted a box for me to send the poor little guy back to them in--complete with tape. I didn't even have to buy tape! Exciting.

I didn't get around to shipping the broken device to them until Wednesday of this week. It took the care center a day to diagnose the problem, and I received a new ipod yesterday--resulting in a turn around time of less than two days. I am unsure if it is a factory refurb or if they fixed my old one. In any event, Apple has the best customer care service I have ever encountered inside a tech company. Good job guys.

Workin’ Man

Third day on the job.  It's awesome.  My first assignment?  Install Linux of any flavor on my desktop.  Naturally, I chose SuSE 10.2; and I was able to install Beryl as well.  It will be interesting to see how I adjust from school to work.  I was at work until 6:00pm yesterday, and if you check the timestamp on this post, I'm at work at around 7:30 today.  I like mornings now.  Which is totally opposite to my early years at Tech where every class was scheduled past 1pm.  I must be getting old or something.

Bada boom

Couple of big things coming up, including me finishing those Console vs PC articles that I have been promising for a couple of weeks. For now, hang tight until I make 100% sure that I am graduating.

Second off, those of you coming to my graduation get together--I shan't call it a party for there shall be much more fun to be had than at a typical party--be at my house in Blairs-Vegas at around 6:00pm on deh Saturday. Check the facebook invite for directions.
