Good god.. 5 am and I can’t sleep.  I have work in a few hours and i’m desperately trying to will myself to sleep.. damn heroes.. in my desperation to catch up it’s made me less sleepy.. and for the life of me, I can’t seem to get this crossposting plugin to work.. what the hell?..

I”m keeping myself busy these days with websites, video slideshows, and god knows what other projects i’ve dumped on myself.. I’m trying to find all the time  to get everything up and running but i’m running short.. a little help please!.. I should post up pictures of my new messenger bag that i’m carrying Jane in these days.. but.. right now i’m lazy.. and i’m going to try to sleep.. good night.. and good day..

After a few weeks of prolonging and a constant red light telling me it’s time to change my oil (man i can rack up the miles) i finally took the plunge and got an oil change.. Thankfully there is a place at work where this can be done while i’m at the office so I don’t have to bother waiting.. and this.. is where my problems begin.. Upon my picking up my car i rush out to get home and my car starts making noise when I turn.. I get out of my car and what has happened?.. those morons rotated my tires (i had been told and they did it without me asking) without realizing that the back tires were bigger than the front tires.. oh man.. was it obvious.. yup.. you can tell by just looking at the car that the front tires have no place being on the back and vice versa.. wow.. I’m taking it back tomorrow to be fixed… who would’ve realized that mechanics weren’t good at spatial recognition..

Well.. after the fiasco with my car I come home to the smell of acrid burning metal.. What the hey now?.. well.. it turns out that sometime today my server, Aleph, decided to blow something, most likely the power supply taking with it my email server and long term storage drives.. crap.. so now I am without email (nulledge.net) for the time being. Until I either replace the power supply or build a replacement server..

So all in all a productive day.. what does the future hold for me.. well.. trying to restore a server for the three day weekend seems to be on the top of my list.. but that.. is as they say.. that.

2007 ended with quite a whirlwind of things… For those of you that don’t know, I decided to lease a new car and do away with sven (my old volvo s60). Sven has now been replaced Izzie a 2008 Lexus IS 250. Yes yes.. i’m bragging a bit.. but come on now.. I can’t be happy for myself? I got a new laptop.. Jane to replace the broken and sadly forgotten Giskard.. And a new cubicle at work… That part I’m not too happy about, mostly due to the location and design of the cubicles the programmers have been shifted to. But we can’t complain… it has made the programmers bond a little more.. even if we are being sorta treated like secretaries..

I made no resolutions for 2008, mostly because I know I will break them.. but I am hoping for a more interesting, productive year. The “Pimped Out Cubicle” contest at work is over but still awaiting a winner.. some interesting things were done in order to make peoples work lives a lot better.. and a lot of money being spent on fancy keyboards and some fancy mice.

Good times I say.. Well.. I’m done with the first addition to the blog for 2008. I sincerely hope I get around to updating this thing more this year than I did last, and hopefully with things relevant and more interesting.
