Thoughts and Ramblings

General things I find of interest.

New Blog Site

Well, if you are reading this, then you know that I now have a new site to store my blogs. This is the reason why I have not posted much in a while; I have been moving things over to this site. Some things to note: The address above is www.cod3r.com. I have actually owned this domain for more than a year now, but just didn’t do anything with it. I finally decided that if I wanted to really use it, I needed it to be hosted somewhere.

Not the only one with car issues

Well, Tuesday was the day for the Engineering Career fair. One of my friends came into town for it because he was recruiting for Raytheon. He came down monday and we went out to dinner. It was nice to see him again. On the way down, shortly after going over some rough train tracks, his corvette started having some issues where it was loosing power. It was a small hiccup, and it didn’t do it again afterwards.

Computer and Truck issues

It has been a while since I wrote here, and with good reason. Sunday night, my computer froze. I looked at it very oddly because this is a far cry from normal. I was about to reboot it when it suddenly unfroze. A few minutes later, it froze again, and this time I heard the too familiar sound of a hard drive on its last leg. It was the the typical hard drive slowly failing kind of failure where the drive mostly works, but freezes every once in a while.

Christmas Vacation

Well, I left CS for the Christmas vacation and went to my parents’ place. Pretty much from the time I arrived Hallie decided to hiss at me from under the tree. I managed to get a picture of her giving me one of her glaring looks. Hallie's_Glare.jpg Friday, the 23rd, we all packed up the truck and went to my grandparents’ place in Fort Worth. We celebrated Christmas there along with my dad’s birthday the following day.

Semester Ending

Well, the semester is coming to an end. I have basically finished everything that I need to do for the end of the semester. I have a Christmas party left still, but that is just about it. The laptop that my dad let me use seems to still be working just fine. Nothing wrong with it so far. I wonder if it is going to give me the same failure that it gave him.
