Still Waiting...

I added MacOSRumors to the list over at www.weblogs.com tonight.  I get tired of checking the site daily to see if there is an update.  It's one of those sites that sits idle for two weeks, then updates daily for three days in a row, then sits idle for another week.  Add in the fact that they only keep the most recent day's post on the front page, and you get a weblog that's not so user friendly.  Hopefully, having it part of my weblogs.com list will keep me up to date.  For those of you looking to find the listing to add to your list, it's "MacOSRumors".

Excitement here at the apartment tonight, my girlfriend just dropped her watch in the toilet, as she was flushing it.  Yes, she is talented...

I recovered it, and it's still ticking away, it's a quality Armitron timepiece... It wasn't even affected by the blue stuff in the toilet.  I washed my hands thorougly afterwards...

My sister's MRI is today, the e-mail from my mom says they may be doing a biopsy also.  The waiting is the hardest part...

I just saw over on John's weblog that an old co-worker of ours has brain cancer and is now living on borrowed time.  Hopefully Jessi's tests will return better results...

John and I will be hitting the road tomorrow, to a Microsoft presentation in Des Moines.  He wants to learn about upgrading his NT domain to Windows 2000, I want to see the preview of Office XP. 

We decided to skip the free lunch that Microsoft provides, as it would require us to sit through a lecture about software licensing and the importance of complying.  I've already been enough of a pain to the people in my college here, I get the impression that they were used to just getting whatever software they wanted, and no one ever said "Who's going to pay for it?".  When someone calls me, and says they want the newest version of Office installed on their computer, I hit them up for $60.  It not only pays for the license, but it keeps my workload down, as they're only going to request the software upgrades they actually need.

 I'm not trying to be a Nazi about the licensing, but I just came from an IT shop that was in GROSS violation of the licensing on much of their software, despite my urging to comply.  I'm not going to let that happen to this place under my watch.
