I downloaded Vista 5744 and am currently trying it out on my Inspiron. All I can say is, it runs a crapton better than the first release candidate did and actually includes drivers for most of my hardware. Quake 3 won't run, though...
So, birthday. I guess I'm 20 years old now. My mom and sisters came to Case and brought some goodies as well as a present and birthday cake. The present was a pair of AKG K81DJ headphones, which are performing admirably. We then went shopping for random odds and ends (a new umbrella since my old one got shredded via wind, and new warm slippers), followed by dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. I then proceeded to have the most expensve steak I've ever eaten. Spoiler: it was delicious.
Laura got me a Digg t-shirt, which is awesome.
Now to continue doing nothing...

Content-Free
I was debating whether I wanted to use my Vox blog or this one. Vox seems nice but seems too group- or family-oriented and MySpace-y in the whoring of audio and movies, which is kind of a turn-off. I guess I'll be sticking with trusty Blogger from now until whenever.

Some Notes
- To the person now in posession of my laundry bag: you're welcome.
- To the accursed electric drying machines that utterly failed to dry my vestments: curse you.
- To my courses and their myriad professors: curse you guys, too. For serious.
- fenixdrakken@11:31 PM: our quote never made it on bash.org did it
supcolono@11:31 PM: fuck them

A Perspective on Customer Support
Fixing computers I can do. Taking calls I can do. Talking to people I can do.
What I can't do is confront people who call asking like I have the entire work history of the company because they are very important and we had an appointment with them and this would be a disaster if it weren't academia and I'm tech support, why can't I help them?
I fix computers, I'm not Raptor Jesus.

Ludicrosity
New bill contains provisions detailing exactly why it cannot be declared illegal to pass. In fact, pointing out the obvious and stating that it is a breach of democracy to bypass judicial review could land you in jail by breaching your allegiance to President Bush.
This game sucks.
Migraines also suck.
One game that does not suck, however, is Company of Heroes. Although it's the same group that made Dawn of War, Company of Heroes just seems more... awesome and less of a chore. It's hard to explain but it involves lots of awesome.
This is my second week working with PerceptIS (I started last Monday morning). It's... interesting. Dealing with users is always a good time, like the ones who turn their computer in on a Friday afternoon and come in Monday complaining their computer's not done yet... ahem. At least it's money, and I'm "in" the "industry" (inasmuch as technical support and counseling is the real "industry"). Woot.
