Augsburger Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Most people should be OK 5.4 on the Richter may seem big, or maybe not if you have never experienced one, but the epicenter was far enough away and deep enough under the plate to shake everyone up just enough without doing any real damage. So far there are no reports of significant injuries or anything and all my crappy wall plaques are still on the walls.
n_maher Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Nice Bike! Thanks, Leeloo has been my girl for almost 8 years now and over 20,000 miles. I think she still cleans up pretty well and she's never let me down.
gauche Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 ...Leeloo has been my girl for almost 8 years. I want to see Leeloo naked.
Salt Peanuts Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Went to work, came home, then went to a local Home Depot to shop for new toilet, sink, and tiles for the bathroom. Oh, and just finished moving and hooking up my SB3 into the living room.
KenW Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Got up....had a thermos of coffee....worked my ass off...then gave Uncle Sam his share after paying 70% overhead. Life sucks sometimes.
aardvark baguette Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Tried yet again to get the 24" CRT monitor I bought on ebay to work No way on Earth I'm shipping this back. I'd rather take the financial hit.
grawk Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 worked my ass off, then played with the audiophile dual mono desktop speaker setup from headroom.
tyrion Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 worked my ass off, then played with the audiophile dual mono desktop speaker setup from headroom. Are you going to share this weekend?
postjack Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 woke up, had some coffee and breakfast, went to work, read some Cryptonomicon, went to store, came home, dinner, laundry.
n_maher Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Built the final set of immoderator cables, installed a M6x1.0 locknut in an amp to tame a wandering trafo and now I'm chilling with the Menace.
tyrion Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Built the final set of immoderator cables, installed a M6x1.0 locknut in an amp to tame a wandering trafo and now I'm chilling with the Menace. Thank you! Woke up, went work, came home, left for Mount Trashmore (aka Vista View Park) with my wife and did 3.5 miles, came back home, dinner (Chipotle Buritto Bowl), enjoying some time with my hhf-1's before I fall asleep. It was hot and humid on the trash heap.
boomana Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Woke up, went to work at 7AM, got home at 9PM, am still working, trying to not have to bring any work with me this weekend to dc. It doesn't look good, but I'm trying.
morphsci Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Got up at 6:30 am, checked turtle traps at Lake Charleston with my graduate student and undergraduate intern from 8:30 - 11:30, went back to the lab and stowed away samples. Ate lunch, answered insipid emails for a few hours while listening to Mudcrutch, went home and picked out CD's for the DC meet . Played power rangers, ate dinner, played some more power rangers, did some Super Why computer games, chilled while my son had his bath. Now have to head back upstairs for movietime.
n_maher Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Add to that list - finished populating SSMH prototype and successfully tested it. Also, modified a d-sub hood for another Duet cable.
laxx Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Yesterady, went to work, overslept on the bus and ended up having to take another bus back to work. =[ Did some work, browsed the web, did some more work, went home. Ate dinner, played some DotA, took a jog, took a shower, watched Firefly.
hungrych Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Went to Ninja New York. It's a fuckin Ninja Village restaurant.
grawk Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 drove to gaithersburg to start the meet weekend (after a day of work)
Augsburger Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 so far i have been arguing with a part of the federal government to keep my student loans for the coming year (i don't have a full tuition package from UC, so i cover the remainder with loans). apparently, due to the credit crunch, they have changed the rules on who gets to keep their loans and who doesn't for the coming year. since disbursement is coming up fairly soon, it's something i needed to fix. apparently, what happened is that some fraudulent charges that had been applied to a credit card of mine (which was supposedly excised from my credit report) put me in a "danger" category, as far as they were concerned. it's all fixed now, but it caused me to miss nearly three hours of work, and it was very frustrating. ----dealing with the Federal Government and a credit card company back office, other than having a Drano enema, I can't think of a worse way to start your day. The rest of the day has to be better.
Salt Peanuts Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Rearranged my audio room a bit and connected optical out on my iMac directly to 840C, thus negating the need for my SB3 or desire for an Apogee Duet.
