i had thought that the management of my fantasy nba teams wouldn’t be that hard now that i figured that my roster has pretty much been settled. as it turns out, i’ve had some underperformers and there have been some free agents that have really been doing well so i decided to mix up my [...]
we were having a conversation the other day about which was better: being frustrated or pissed?
the example i used was in playing volleyball. is it better to lose and be frustrated because your team’s play was just so much worse than its potential OR is it better to lose and be pissed because your team [...]
yesterday while getting dinner, i decided to go get a newspaper from the newspaper machine. i jiggled the door before putting money in there and heard the sound of a few coins falling. i checked the coin return slot and sure enough there were two quarters there.
so i reinserted them in the machine, got my [...]
i’m setting up a linux box right now and this will be the first time that i’ve set up a box and updated it with some kind of automatic updating program. i’m using yum and it’s pretty slick. not very exciting to look at, but it seems to do the job well enough. [...]

ugh, my stomach is [...]

it was a struggle this morning to lug myself out of bed. it seemed to defy reason why anyone would want to leave the the warm and comforting comforter that lay on top of me. i mean, that’s why they call it “comforters”, right? it’s supposed to keep you comfortable. why would you want to [...]
unlike pretty much everyone else i know, i had martin luther king, jr. day off today. it’s my first official company holiday. yay.
thanh and i hung out today to catch up since we haven’t seen each other in such a long time. we got caught up with what’s been going on in each other’s lives [...]
it is rare that my work account ever gets spam. i very rarely ever give my work email address out to anyone and it isn’t a generic address (i.e. it isn’t something like mike@mikesCoolCompany.com) so how i get spam is beyond me.
but i swear, if i ever win the UK lottery again, get contacted by [...]
