I hit 160,000 miles on my car today while driving to the office in Ankeny to get the internet back up there. I thought my car was gonna die around 140,000, but its still goin. I’d be REAL suprised if it makes it to 180,000 miles.
I went to the Ankeny office last Friday also. There was a lightning storm in Ankeny early last week and it fryed the DSL modem. Quest sent us a new one and nobody that was in Ankeny could get it to work. So, like I said, I went there Friday to try to get the internet up, but the replacement modem quest sent us was faulty. It wasn’t giving out address, I think the ethernet ports on the replacement modem were shot.
So, Quest sent us another Friday, and it arrived today. It was a totally different modem, lots newer looking. It worked with no problems. Quest refused to believe that the first replacement was faulty, after 2 hours on the phone with them, I convinced them to send me another modem…I wish the support people would just listen to me, I could school all of em at their stupid jobs.
The stable release of PHP 5.0.0 has been out for a little while now, since July 13th. I compiled and started using it on the 14th I think. I was glad to see that there’s a hardened-php patch for PHP 5.0.0 already.
I tried using the grsecurity kernel patch for a while but it would cause my network card that’s connected to the internet to go down, for some reason. I think the grsecurity patch was blocking access to something in /proc. I dunno, I’ll probably mess around with it a little later on.
I’m now convinced that there’s something seriously screwed with the cell phone networks here in central Iowa. Most of the people I talk to have had this happening to them for the last couple of weeks. Anyway, my cell phone never rings when somebody calls it. It’ll just alert me that I have a new voice mail, but the phone never rings!
My phone has been wringing twice a day or so, but I always end up with more voice mails than that. It’s so annoying. I’m really curious as to whose and how many calls I’ve completely missed.
I just don’t understand it. He’s bashing Bush for Bush’s stance on same-sex marriage, yet Kerry refuses to take a stance of his own. What a god damn hypocrite. If Kerry doesn’t have a stance on the issue, what right does he have to bash Bush’s stance? He needs to shut the fuck up and drop out of the race. I’m gonna be seriously pissed off if this jack ass gets elected. He looks more like a fucking robot than Gore did. God this man makes me mad!
Looks like Google is getting closer to their IPO. I’d be interested in purchasing some of their stock. I mean, it has to be a fairly safe bet, I’d be 95% of the American population knows about google. It’s not even just a noun anymore, it’s verb! Anyway, it looks like google will be trading its shares via Nasdaq, I had a feeling it would end up being traded on Nasdaq as opposed to the NYSE, which many people had favored.
