Google for Fun and Profit

1 comment

Well, fun, but mostly really just profit. So yesterday my boss asks me to take a look at the website and see if there is anything that needs to be changed around in the parts descriptions (for their own sake, but also because of what I’m talking about), or if there are any fairly big [...]

First Day at Work

No comments

Well like most first days it was nothing terribly exciting. I sat, I read product catalogs, I changed the CD key on some windows xp machines to match the license we had for them, I sat, I took a couple of pictures of some boards, I read websites on our products, I read our website, [...]

Wedding Pictures and PDL

5 comments

Starting to get the wedding pictures online…the link is below. http://bigcat.chaosnet.org/gallery If anyone wants the huge raw picture files I can send them to you somehow (they are in the 15 to 25 meg range per picture) so you have to let me know if you want to make prints or something, so I can [...]

I GOT A JOB!!!

3 comments

I got a job. The company I interviewed with (Total Control Solutions) hired me, and said I can start when I want, and I told them I’ll be there Monday. Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance, 401K, profit-sharing, good stuff in general. This place is hiring me to sell computers, LCD, computer enclosures and things [...]

I walked into a Womans Restroom

No comments

I did in fact walk into a womans restroom by mistake today. I was feeling pretty spacey. I think it might have been because I had just gotten off the phone with a recruiter talking about a position with a company he represented. It is a manufacturing job working with power generators, large scale and [...]

FREE IPOD

1 comment

So, at about 3 pm I went ahead and told the free ipod site to check my referrals, and I just impatiently checked it (even though it said 3 to 5 business days to verify) and I was approved. Now, I finalized my order, and they are processing it. Which hopefully in a few days [...]

Final Ipod question

2 comments

OK, so everyone who has signed up under me, make sure your account is verified. That means if you signed up with a hotmail, gmail, or AOL (i think that won’t work anyway) Make sure you switch it to a university, or private account becase your email has to be verified for me to be [...]

Multiple IM people

No comments

OK, for all you people like me who use more than just one IM service, thats instant messaging for you who aren’t hip to the modern lingo, there is a new gaim in town (pun intended). Now, I personally use trillian but I liked it so much a couple years ago I paid for the [...]

Goodwill Ghetto-style

No comments

So Lauren and I wanted to do some errands today. We opened a checking and savings account, we unloaded some of the water bottles for the church thing from the Beamer (which was so loaded it was riding on the axle yesterday) and we went to drop some stuff off at goodwill. The goodwill closest [...]

Ipod Chain

5 comments

OK, so my five referrals are done, so here is what I want to do. The people who signed up under me, Kari, Val, Chris, and Alec (and Dirk, but I think Dirk just wants to make sure Val gets one) leave a comment w/ your name and referral link. Anyone who wants to sign [...]

Can’t Sleep

3 comments

Well, I woke up about 3:30am and haven’t been able to get back to sleep. I prayed for over an hour for the church plant team, all my friends and my immediate family, as well as myself. And I listened quietly, didn’t get much of a response and I didn’t fall asleep, so I’m up. [...]

Free TV

No comments

I tried out another one of these free things…I think I’m addicted. Anyway, if you are interested it is the same deal as the Ipod, only instead of 5 you have to get 8. Check it out, if you are interested, try out my referral link below: http://www.FreeFlatScreens.com/default.aspx?referer=9053790 Besides that don’t use the same address [...]

It isn’t fake

2 comments

Ok, so I found an article on Wired about how this isn’t fake. You can check it out here. Also there is some other stuff I’m going to try out like freeflatscreen.com or something like that where you can get a free TV. I found out about some of this stuff at freeipodguide.com Anyway, if [...]
