And I like it. I learn something new every day --- sometimes every hour. I can help people, and they pay for the privilege. And it'll do till I can make something else happen.
What's your internship going to be like?
I'll be doing software stuff in a company that is primarily hardware focused, which is great - I have no experience with that. I'm going to be porting C code to a couple different compilers, and I haven't done any C in years, so I'm excited. And also writing a web app for the department I'm interning with to let them collaborate on documents and stuff - I need more details on that, but I'll get them when I get there. I was offered an internship in another department there that would have been much much more boring but then this one came through. The only possible unknown variable in this is my dad works for these guys, so I don't know what that dynamic will be like.
I just hope they keep me busy enough that the next four months pass quickly!
I have to admit that I have no idea what "degaussing" means. :-/
Me neither... but I think it involves snakes and incense.
hehehehe.....
Sorry! I'm fresh out of snakes.
*Sigh*
Rain delays all over the place....think I'll go throw some lighter fluid on some charcoal.
*Sigh*
What to do now... I don't want to do homework or pack.
Got thegame on the 'puter and I'm waiting for the race to start. Ribs are on the grill, veggies on the stove. I'm just waiting for food to cook.
I need to take care of bills sometime today...maybe repot some houseplants. Place really needs cleaning....
I did bills, I went to the department and changed the backup tapes. Got my hair trimmed. Put a few more things in boxes. Figured out how to best move my hat collection without squashing the hats.
I'm basically trying to ignore my homework here and so far it's sort of working.
I'm griiiiiilling in the rain,
just griiiiiilling in the rain!
I want grilled food!
The weather here can't decide if it's raining or sunny. I should do something outside either way, it's warm enough.
It goes from sun to clouds to sun again. Right now it's clouds and brief sprinkles so the barbecue isn't ruined.
RE your tagline: I keep finding cool things too. "I knew I had a chess set!" or the old slide rule I bought at a garage sale... sadly, the center stick seems to have disappeared somewhere.
Check the quality of your electrical ground. A poor ground can send a small spike through your AC, which can be interpreted by your PC power supply (which always has a tiny portion of itself awake) as a power on/off signal.
I don't know how to check the quality of my ground... :~)
Sounds like you need a Pentecostal-Catholic. I can do the pentecostal part.
Been to church, took some frap to Goodwill and took Luke to thepoolatthegym to get him used to the water again. We started as swim team clinic last week and he wouldn't let go of the instructor...so we may be pushing the season a bit.
In other news...
more'n once.
The race got delayed until tomorrow and the Cubs are getting their butts kicked.
Might as well pay some bills.
Hm...what am I doing again? I'm soooo behind agin...
Got part of the lawn mowed...now the mower quit. I'm assuming I'm out of gas, though I could swear it looks like there's something in there.
So...taking a break for a drink and a trip to the hardware store in due time, to buy a gas can and some other stuff.
