Life update! 08 December 2005 at 10:42 am by Jason 439 views

Well, it’s only two weeks till Jess and I take off to go to my parent’s house for the holidays! I sure hope the weather will be better than it has been lately.

Let’s see, what else? I was forced into taking a math class this semester… ugh. I hate teh math classes! Also, my mom is recovering from open chest surgery, she just got back home yesterday, so hopefully she’ll be feeling better by the time Jess and I get there.

Also, we changed our fish setup (and got two more fish)! We now have 6 fish tanks in our apartment! We have:

1 28 Gallon tank – containing a school of 4 Neon Tetras, a school of 6 Glo-Lite Tetras, 3 Glo-Fish™, 1 Dalmation Lyretail Molly, 1 Black Sailfin Molly, 2 Albino Cories, 1 Oto, and Ugly the Colombian Ramshorn Snail

1 10 Gallon tank – containing Levi the Lobster (he’s really a blue crayfish), and a yet unnamed Ivory Snail.

1 1 Gallon tank – containing Potato, our Red/Purple Veiltail Betta

1 1 Gallon tank – containing Cotton Candy, our Pink/Blue Veiltail Betta

1 1 Gallon tank – containing NoName*, our Green/Blue Veiltail Betta

1 1 Gallon tank – containing Grumpy Gus, our Red/White Crowntail Betta

I swear, in a years time we’ll have enough fish to call the apartment an aquarium and charge an entry fee. lmao

Okay, well that’s all the news for now! Catch ya on the flipside. ;)

*NoName isn’t his name, he’s a rescue fish and is very sick, if he lives, he’ll get a name.



+ Cold water (and a special new Blog status update!) By Jason 15 September 2005 at 7:38 am 456 views No Comments

So, first things first… we have no hot water in our apartment. None. Nada. Nil. Not a drop. Just the cold stuff, my friends. So while normally that wouldn’t matter, I had to go to work today, and it was about 56° outside this morning… so a cold shower just wasn’t cutting it. You know, we pay over $500 a month for this place, and yet every month something goes wrong. This month it’s aparently “water”. A couple months ago it was “air” and it nearly killed our pets (fish and cats). Argh. For the money we pay them, we should be in a much nicer apartment. Oh wait, that’s right, they renovated a bunch of others with new everything… and charge they same. So we pay $500+ for crap, and other people in the same apartment complex pay $500+ for all new stuff. Yay for us.

Okay, time for the new Blog status update! I’m officially 50% done with the design! I normally would be going much faster by I don’t know too much about CSS, so making this isn’t as quick and easy as I thought…. BUT, it’s getting there. Also, I have installed Coppermine for my images/photos and have integrated it into Wordpress using Coppermine Fetch. It works very well, so if any of you have Wordpress and want your Coppermine photos to integrate, just use that! Anywho, that’s all for now… expect the new blog soon!



+ Betas all around! By Jason 21 July 2005 at 9:25 am 172 views No Comments

Wow, after a dry spell, I’m being flooded with beta tests from Microsoft! I’m currently testing the following items:

Data Protection Manager 2006
Driver Install Frameworks
Microsoft Command Shell Preview
Windows Installer Beta
Windows OneCare Live Beta
MSN Messenger Beta
Mail Beta
Windows code-named “Longhorn”
Internet Explorer 7 Beta

I love testing new products! I know, I’m odd… but I really do enjoy the testing. Here’s the list of things I’ve tested in the past:

MSN Explorer Beta
MSN Messenger Beta
Windows code-named “Whistler”
Windows 2000 SP4
Windows XP SP1
Office 11 Beta
Windows Update Beta
Microsoft Update Beta

I can’t wait to start testing Longhorn… I have my system back up at home finally (had to take apart one of my 120mm fans, wasn’t spinning and my system was overheating) and plan on partitioning about 30GB off on my main drive for the install. I honestly can’t wait!



+ How much is that Betta in the window? By Jason 29 June 2005 at 4:01 pm 153 views No Comments

This is Creamsicle, Jess’ Betta. I decided I’d blog about him today so I don’t have to think about what’s been going on with the apartment. So, Creamsicle lives in our community tank, and amazingly gets along with everyone in it. He is very active, which sucks when it comes to trying to get a nice picture of him. This is the least blurry pic I’ve taken (and this is after taking over 20 pics of him). And… um… well, it seems there’s not much to talk about when it comes to a Betta. hahaOkay, a little about the apartment. Jess called the manager and they’re going to try to work with us to fix all the issues by early next week, so we’ll have to see what happens.That’s it for now, kids!
