When Angered, Count to 1 Million Before Speaking

Saturday, January 31st, 2004

I had this huge rant ready a couple of hours ago but there was something wrong with the server (again! for the millionth time in the past month) and now I’m too tired to write it. Aww, you probably weren’t interested in readin it anyway. I’ll just write it tomorrow. If I remember.

Just Another Day? Yeah Right!

Friday, January 30th, 2004

Well, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I figure it seems like as good a time as any to start thinkin about settling down and goin ahead and poppin the question to my girlfriend of more than a year and a half … … But since I’m not gonna do that I’m gonna [...]

What are you doing for the Super Bowl?

Big Announcement … HUGE Announcement!

Monday, January 26th, 2004

You can call it my new “idea”. Or perhaps my latest “next big thing” if there ever were such a thing. Whatever you want to call it, I’m officially releasing the code-named “Alpha” project as the now-called RallePoint.com. It’s basically a place where you can build your own homepage by adding your own links, your [...]

It’s Snowing

Sunday, January 25th, 2004

For those who may not be near a window, tv, or radio, it’s snowing. For those far away, it’s snowing. For everyone else, it’s snowing. Oh and for those who may be able to walk (we don’t encourage driving) to our apartment, we’re planning a snow-football game. But there’s only three of us, so it [...]

How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways

Wednesday, January 21st, 2004

As much complaining as I do about grad school and how it’s not near as fun as undergrad, I realize I can’t complain too much when there’s still the potential to get emails from the professor like this … Because of [edited] , I will be unable to attend class today. Therefore IE/OR/CSC 762 is [...]

Behind Enemy Lines

Wednesday, January 21st, 2004

Yesterday, Thunder had to return something in Chapel Hill, so I accompanied him so that we might enjoy a snack in “The Thrill”. While I have been to Chapel Hill many times, I have never had the pleasure of entering any of the evil “propoganda” stores masquerading as merchants of team pride. Well, Thunder was [...]

We Fit Together Like Hand and Glove

Friday, January 16th, 2004

I have to do this. I got my first bill from my new cell phone service provider. And on this bill I found a surprising total of $90.85. When I investigated further I found the following line: Verizon Wireless’ Other Charges and Credits – $30.82 Do what? I called customer service. Maybe I should just [...]

The LNP Disease (Prologue – But After)

Sunday, January 11th, 2004

I guess since this whole ordeal has consumed my life for the last few days (well this and a work project), I forgot that there are normal people out there who purchase new cell phones and change carriers without thinking twice about trying to keep their old number. I was even normal once, having been [...]

The LNP Disease (Conclusion)

Saturday, January 10th, 2004

Could it be that we have come to the end? With no life-threatening wounds but so much aggravation. It’s like being 23 and being unable to buy a drink because your license has the words “Under 21″ printed on it. You know it’s no single person’s fault, but you just don’t understand it. There were [...]
