Work Stuff

Well tonight I start the new job. I trained all day Friday.  I am working at a Bank Of America Tier 1 server farm.  This place is the main server farm for the Eastern USA and has 5 floors of servers.  It is amazing. I am working night shift again, but only an 8 hour shift, so it will not be that bad. I will post some more tomorrow…

"Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced

equation inherent to the programming of the matrix.

You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite

my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate

from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision.

While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not

unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control.

Which has led you, inexorably, here." - The Architect, The Matrix Reloaded

 

In the News...

According to an article on Yahoo.
Top 10 worst places to meet someone new after a split:
10. Laundromat (if a person doesn't have his/her own washer and dryer by now or live in place that has a laundry room, that could be very telling)
9. A bar where divorced singles congregate
8. Your attorney's office lobby (the other divorcee you are suddenly attracted to needs time to "unpack" his/her baggage)
7. The water cooler at work
6. Parking garage
5. Anger management class
4. Alcoholics Anonymous
3. Fast food restaurant
2. In the car next to you
1. Jail

Top 10 best places to meet someone new after a split:
10. Your best friend's wedding (it doesn't matter how many he/she has had)
9. Headquarters of your favorite political candidate
8. Your local home improvement or hardware store (women can never find what they need, so the men cruising the aisles are easy recruits for assistance)
7. Your personal trainer's studio
6. Someone else's office, not yours
5. On a ski lift
4. Through a reputable dating service that is known for finding perfect matches
3. Self-help seminar for those who have recently broken up
2. Your place of worship
1. Sting concert (people of all ages attend them)

New Music...

I saw these two bands on PBS last night. They are called Existor and The Gaskets. Existor is a 3 man band with a bass, drums, and a massive set of keyboards. They are a very good Jam Band and i was really impressed. Their music flowed and one song bled into another one with no interruptions. I was able to see their whole set. The other band i was was the Gaskets. IT was just two guys on stage, one sang and played harmonica and the other did backing vocals and played the keys. Their sound was like an 80s band. They had a good mic and really had the crowd into their set. i was only able to see 3 of their songs. For anyone interested in looking into their music, here is a link to the Music Seen page at the PBS station.

Do you do any of these?

Or better yet, have any of these happened to you? I know that they sure have been done to me.

The complete list of "Terrible Ten" behaviors:
1. Discrimination in an employment situation.
2. Erratic/aggressive driving that endangers others.
3. Taking credit for someone else's work.
4. Treating service providers as inferiors.
5. Jokes or remarks that mock another's race/gender/age/disability/sexual preference or religion.
6. Children who behave aggressively or who bully others.
7. Littering (including trash, spitting, pet waste).
8. Misuse of handicapped privileges.
9. Smoking in non-smoking places or smoking in front of non-smokers without asking.
10. Using cell phones or text messaging in mid- conversation or during an appointment or meeting.

Categories of "rude" or "uncivil" behavior were derived from an informal survey, conducted online through Yahoo.com and Survey Monkey during a two-week period in May 2007. The survey polled employees of the Baltimore-based companies Lifebridge Health and E A Engineering Science and Technology, as well as employees and students at the University of Baltimore. Thirty examples of rude behavior were posed to respondents, each linked to a five point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not offensive) to 5 (most offensive). Respondents were asked to indicate the degree to which they personally considered each behavior offensive

The Blog...

It just seems like that no matter what I do, I cannot generate traffic to my site.  I am not really sure of what people like on my site as I never get any comments from the readers. It would be nice for some suggestions to be emailed to me so I can do some research and post on those topics.  So if anyone is out there, please email some suggestions to me. The email is on left side of the Blog in the badge section.

 

Thankx…

Ubuntu Desktop

I just did a system upgrade to my Ubuntu computer. I had an old Dell Optiplex GX-150 that had an 866mhz Coppermine processor in it.  I took that proc out and placed it in the Linux box.  I also changed out the Cd-Rom drive for a DVD-Rom drive and placed more RAM into the box as well.  It had a 1gig Celeron and it was slow. The 866 is much faster and more responsive than the Celeron.  I will give more updates as I play with the box more.
