Today was an interesting day. When I arrived at work this morning the site supervisor brings me a cart full of goodies. I guess yesterday when he left work he went to CompUSA and PCClub and purchased over 1K worth of stuff, and part of it was a new Athlon 64 3200+ processor, mobo, case, and all the trimmings. So he hands me all of these parts and says “Here have fun…” We even had a Radeon 9800 All-In-Wonder laying around that I was able to throw into it. Unfortunately we didn’t have an extra copy of XP to put on it, so I opted for 2K since we have corporate licensing for that. It was still downloading updates when I left for the day. So tomorrow I can tweak it and maybe load some benchmarking tools to see what the thing is capable of.
I met my boss from DigitalNet for the first time today. She drove up from a town south of here, somewhere between here and San Diego. We sat down and discussed the job, and the future of it. And of me possibly teaching a class or giving a presentation at a conference in Scottsdale sometime near the beginning of summer.
There really hasn’t been much going on lately. We DID go and see a pretty bitching improv show on Melrose last weekend. But other then that we have just been sitting around watching Sopranos and trying to stick to the South Beach Diet. Pretty boring. Hopefully next week we will get our posters back from the framers and we can hang those up. And maybe my new desk will be delivered. I’m sick of sitting on the floor and playing computer games.
OK I’m off to cook dinner.
