Devil May Cry 4 [08 Feb 2008|09:10am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | //Angels & Airwaves - "Call to Arms"// ] I was supposed to work in the retail store yesterday and did so until about 3PM. By work I mean I read this Xsan book Rob let me borrow. Lots of good information! It's more like a 'quick start' book but I enjoy those most because they're right to the point, full of good information and images and they give good what-if/demo/possible solutions... Around 3PM Rob asked if I could go up to Burlington to fix some computers. Of course I said yes, I need almost every bit of money I can get! The roads were actually not that bad, I made pretty good timing. The job was really simple, mostly just making sure cables were plugged in and turning on file sharing on their "server". The issues came about when I had to get Quark working and I couldn't, so I reformatted the machine and then it worked fine. Unfortunately I missed a get-together with the marketing dept., I'd been looking forward to it for 2-3 months :( Oh well... I did grab Devil May Cry 4 for PS3 on the way home though. Also snagged the players guide which is a lot thinner then I thought it'd be. I think I keep thinking these guides are so small cause I am used to getting the CEs which usually come with an extra art book or something. I can't wait to play it, of course it's like #70+ in the queue though :( Emilie and I just made dinner and watched 1/2 of Austin Powers. I haven't seen that movie in so long. I think we'll finish it up tonight. Glad today is Friday, going to run through more of that Xsan book, I have my yearly review, wish me luck and I would also like to provision my little PowerBook for going through the OS X systems admin book. morgan showed me this anime with this little hamster in it. It looks all cute and stuff, but it's pretty raunchy which it great! I saw an episode on YouTube, quite funny, so I downloaded all 12 episodes, I just have to grab them from Palomino. Anyways, hope all is well with everyone... 5 comments|post comment

MacBook Air [08 Feb 2008|09:47pm] [ mood | busy ] Today we were really slow in the store. We still sold a few computers, but it's not as busy as I would like it to be. I was supposed to have my yearly review, except the head honcho cancelled. I think he had a few other meetings to attend to, or maybe a tattoo to get. Either way a raise if in the pipeline was delayed yet another day, :(. In good news, we got the MacBook Air's in. I know I've been trash talking them ever since they announced the price $1800, and I still am very unhappy with it. I am however quite impressed with the technologies that are inside of it. I really enjoy the slim size. I will write up a full review, it'll probably be on Barkings! and possibly my Tumble-log. I finally got around to changing my default userpic. I am in a horse mood so I thought this one of Affirmed would be appropriate. It's one of my favorite horsey userpics. I have to work tomorrow, it should be pretty easy though. I provisioned my PowerBook G4 and so now it's ready to help me in my quest of obtaining Apple server certifications. I might have a couple things to do on the Xserve but then I am ready to start! I got Apple Product Professional status today (we we're pretty slow...), so now I am good until 2009. Wooohooo. Talked to my consulting manager about getting more money, but he said no, not until I get certified, which is kinda bullshit since I shouldn't be doing those RAID/Xserve jobs anyways, since according to the email we're not allowed to without having those certifications...lame...cheapos. Oh well, I want to get the certifications anyways, it'll be good for me in the long run. Emilie and I finished Austin Powers, funny movie. I think we're going to keep watching Ah! My Goddess tonight, that'll be nice and relaxing. Hope everyone else had a nice Friday! 9 comments|post comment
