Don’t Ask Me To Network Computers

I can't believe I'm still up. With all the crap that happened in that stupid Win2k Server class, I still can't set up a network. On top of that, the teacher gives us a take-home test in lieu of a final, whcih would be fine except for the fact that we didn't go over any of this stuff and the answers are not in the lame-assed textbook they gave us. Not only that, the questions are vague. I've been on the Internet all night trying to find somewhat plausible answers to stupid questions. It's due tomorrow morning. Oh, boy. What a perfect way to end this whole mess. I can't believe I'm going to have a degree in Networking and I can't network computers to save my life.

I FEEL SO DAMN CHEATED!

I wish I knew a lawyer who could go to bat for me over this. Oh well, I've scribbled my last lame meaningless answer and since I've been up since 4 a.m., I'm going to bed now. I hope I can get some sleep. I'm still so angry and worked up over this.

Denver Broncos HelmetPOSITIVE NOTE: The Denver Broncos won their game against the Arizona Cardinals 38-17. I watched the first part of the game and they were losing, so I figured I'd better watch something else to give them a chance to win. I guess it worked. They never win when I watch it on TV. I better stick to listening to it on the radio. I'm going to miss Ed McCaffrey, though.

9/11 Tribute Site

WTC remembrance ribbonMan, I've got a lot to say today, I guess.

This tribute site is done very well. I came across it while searching for a ribbon graphic for my site. There is a really cool animated graphic there of the WTC towers disappearing from the skyline. There is also some interesting merchandise to purchase with proceeds going to the Red Cross. The most interesting is a shirt or mug with an old west "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster with Osama bin Ladin's picture.

Click For Cans

I got this link (http://www.chunky.com/click_for_cans.asp) in an email. I don't usually trust them or follow them, but just because I'm bored I checked into it. I went to namesecure and chunky.com is actually registered to the Campbell's Soup Comany and it seems legit, so why not? Give it a shot--one click per day per email address.

Westweird

Somebody found my blog through a Google search for "Denver Bronco Stuff." I decided to follow it, also. I never did find my site (it must've been waaaay down on the list), but I did come across this funny site. Cracked me up.

XBill

Some friends of mine were playing a silly little game in Unix class last week. It's called XBill and the object of the game is to kill all the little Bill Gates and keep the Windows OS from taking over your network. I downloaded it onto the old laptop today. I got a lot farther with my graphire pen than I did with the stupid touchpad. I suppose it could becoming very boring quickly, but hey, it was kind of fun. There is even a Palm version that Marcus downloaded. Cool.
