This guy is pretty cool, no fins. I don’t really like him walking on the coral though.

Productive
It has been a good week. I finished my Network Plus Course and finally got my website up. After almost two months of dealing with LIME’s astounding incompetence, I went to another hosting company and had the site up in less than 24 hours. Hey LIME! If you can’t do web hosting, just say you can’t do web hosting!
My website is still pretty crude, but I’ll be working on it more today. And I don’t mind your input.

Weird Dream, Bad Brain Damage
Last night I woke up about 3 AM, went back to bed around 4, and just woke up with major brain damage after having a weird dream.
I was going diving. I had my dive gear and camping gear. I had a nice new pickup truck. The parking lot was on a hill, next to a river. I had to carry my dive gear over a bridge on the river, and up a big mountain on the other side. So I grab my stuff for the first trip and start across.
Half way up the mountain, was the dive shop. I checked in for the dive, and the person checking me in was an asshole. Can’t remember specifically why, but he was.
There were a lot of suitcases and stuff in the dive shop, and old people. It was like a train station or airport. This one lady was struggling to put something in her suitcase, and I asked her if it would be easier for her if I laid the bag down flat for her She said yes, and I laid her suitcase down. When she opened it, I could see she had all these things like telescopes, except you could flatten them out for storage.
So then I start up the mountain to the boat. It was a weird, difficult, climb, through holes and stuff.
I got to the boat, which was nice, I found I had some of my camping gear, which I needed to take back to my truck, and one of the ladys collapsible telescopes. Plus I still had to get the rest of my dive gear. So I headed back down the mountain, carrying what still seemed like a lot of stuff. Had problems getting into the dive shop through the holes. Put the ladys telescope in her suitcase (She was nowhere around), the telescope fit only in its holder one way, and when I put it in, the label was upside down, compared to the rest of the telescopes. I tried to figure it out, but just put it back with the label upside down.
I lost my camping gear, found it, and was ready to head back to the truck to drop off the camping gear and get the rest of my dive gear. I told the asshole diveshop guy where I was going and that I’d be right back, and he says, real slow, “I’m pretty sure all six parking lots on the island are closed by now”. Meaning I couldn’t get to my truck. And I said, “Well, I can’t do the dive then”.

Then I woke up, with severe brain damage and desperate need of coffee, which I am drinking now.
15-story hotel in six days
Time lapse video
Six days. That’s how long it took to build this level 9 Earthquake-resistant, sound-proofed, thermal-insulated 15-story hotel in Changsha, China. Complete with everything, from the cabling to three-pane windows. The foundations were already built, and despite the frenetic pace of construction, no workers were injured. From HERE
Monday Again
It was a good weekend. We went out for sushi Friday night. The restaurant is weird, with cut-outs in the floor for your feet, and you have to get down and climb in. My back still isn’t right after sitting there a few hours.Football wise, it was an OK weekend, Green Bay and the Jets won, who I wanted. Chicago and Pittsburgh won, who I didn’t.
We went and saw the movie Green Hornet in 3D, and it was good. They could have used the 3D part more, there is a lot of potential there.

Boring
UNIVERSAL BORING MACHINEYesterday I posted that it was Wednesday, even though it was Thursday. I really thought it was Wednesday, and the day was half over before I realized my mistake. I even read Diet Cokes Rocks’s blog, and thought “It’s Thursday there already in New Zealand? Seems kinda early!”, but the light bulb never came on. I was kind of surprised nobody here pointed out my error to me.
So now it’s Friday. As you can tell by my posts, my life has been pretty boring lately. And as you know, to me, boring is GOOD!

Over the hump day
It’s Wednesday, over the hump day. Today I have a small computer job and then I have to collect some checks.
Then I have to study, I want to get at least one lesson done today.

Last night I went to bed at 9 PM and slept till 6:30 AM, that’s an incredibly long time for me!
I had a high school friend come for a visit on a cruise ship. The very same ship my cousins were on week before last. I calculate that it had been 33 years since I saw her last. Now she has three grown daughters and a grandson!
I’m getting ready to look for another company to host my website. Our phone company/internet service provider seems unable.
This doesn’t seem like much of a post. But it’s all I got for now. Over and out!
Full Circle
I removed Zorin, and put Ubuntu back on, and I’m sticking with it. Ubuntu version 10.10 Netbook.
I started with Ubuntu, I messed it up trying to install Veetle player. People said I’d probably like Linux Mint better, so I tried it. I didn’t really like it. Then I found Linux Zorin 4 Lite. I tried it, but it seemed like it was missing a lot of stuff, like a search my computer function. And the software manager showed me all these programs that were supposedly installed, but I couldn’t find them. SO I switched back to Ubuntu on my netbook.

All I can say is, don’t be afraid to try it. You can install it from a CD and test it out without changing anything on your computer. Just make the CD, then boot from the CD. After you like it, you can install it on your hard drive, again without changing anything on your Windows. You’ll get a screen when your computer boots up, asking if you want to load Windows or Ubuntu (you can do this for any of the Linux’s)
Linux isn’t Windows. Linux is different, so don’t expect it to be Windows. And Linux is older than Windows… Linux came from Unix, which was created in the 1960’s. It is still around and still a very big and powerful Operating System
Nothing of Interest Here!
Yesterday I couldn’t think of anything to post, and today I can’t either.
Having terrible problems with the phone company getting my website up. Their incompetence is astounding.
I’ve been doing my lessons regularly, they seem to be going faster and easier. I have two 100%’s in a row. Maybe three.
I’ve been diving pretty much. And am supposed to go today, but really can’t. I have friends coming on a cruise ship tomorrow, and I need to get the yard mowed.
I woke up at 6:30 this morning, which is really really late.
Below is a picture of a fake boat that looks like it is sinking but not. Too stupid.
