Meh. worked a bit on the old family computer, since my brother is taking it and my mom wanted a document off it. Damn thing shot up to 145 degrees, idling. CPU was at 0%. Damn thing heated up my room to where its 10 or so degrees hotter than the rest of the house. Gotta get it cooled down before my bro takes it.
Not too much is going on. Watched Ice Age tonight, good movie. Also got a NNTP news server running on funkyshit here. Friend of mine is moving soon (He's been trekking over Europe and Canada now), and he's getting ready to head again, so wanted to stay in contact with some people, so I set up news, email, etc for him where he can get it all remotely.
As a thing that really sucked, on the PT, got ahold of the doc's today, and they said they wont give another order for PT without an appointment and work comp has to approve it. Fuckers.
Well, fuck a duck, I hate taxes. Been a big pain in the ass today, since I dont have my last years statement handy (its in a box, somewhere, lost track of it in the move). Luckily I got most of it taken care of now
Today was kinda interesting. Woke up around 6, fell asleep with my glasses on and my laptop next to me in bed (lucky I didnt break either). After a bit, my brother calls me on my cellphone (why I dunno, since he was home), and says "you're coming with me to the junkyard". I dunno why he wanted me, cant do much with a bum arm, and I was planning on talking to some friends and cleaning up today. Head out to speedway over in Illinois, which was kind of a disappointment since they've really gone down hill. Their classics section is next to nothing now. Didnt really get anything there. Next headed over to Riverside, the car my brother was gonna get parts from wasnt there anymore, but they had another one that matched. Pulled a spoiler, and a door off of it and some sheetmetal. Was a bitch getting the sheetmetal off since the battery died for the cutoffwheel, and had to do most of it by hand, using what we found discarded. Using a hammer, a big giant chisel, and a seriously dead sawzall blade we managed to get it cut off. Went back home, found out that I can't go to the group dinner that every was going to tonight because the show they are seeing is restricted to 21+, so I am here, home alone and bored stiff.
Been looking a bit at robotics. Wanting to make a simple robotic arm or something using this 486 I have.
Not been a good day. Bunch of bad shit ranging from PT wont let me go there, to doc's not having it in my file that they sent me to PT. been a crappy day
