I got up early and got my bio study guide done, using Wikipedia because A. I never bought the book and B. I'm too lazy to try to find the information in the powerpoints. It was very efficient, only took me about an hour and a half, including bathroom break and trying to get this coffee to taste good. I don't know if it's because I'm sick, because the flavor of the coffee and artificial sweetener clashed, or because it picked up the flavor of other stuff in the fridge overnight, but this shit tastes nasty.
I'm taking a 45 minute break, at 9:00 I'm gonna go get breakfast and make sure I know everything on the Psych 101 study guide. Looking over it briefly earlier, I'm pretty confident, especially because I thought it was going to be written definitions but it's actually all multiple choice. Dr. Hale is making it easy on the freshmen, I guess. Thanks Dr. Hale!
Anyway, Hazzard out for now. I'll post again when my exams are done. :D |

| Well, I'm still alive, kinda. |
[Dec. 6th, 2009|08:41 pm] |
Still sick as fuck though. I feel like I'm drowning trying to breathe air. I don't know if this will get any better without a nebulizer, and mine broke. Even if I could buy a new one I have no access to the medicine. I'm just taking any over the counter shit that might help and hoping I live long enough to get home.
I'm going to beg Frank to take me home on Wednesday instead of Friday if I still feel this bad then. I need my medication.
I have two exams tomorrow. Tuesday I'm going to be packing, cleaning out the fridge, and taking down all my furry posters just in case I have a new roommate when I get back in January. I don't want to take any risks.
Anyway, bed time now. I'm gonna get up at 5:30, warm up the coffee Frank got me tonight that was too hot to drink then, and study until 8:00 or so, then go get breakfast, come back, study more...
Exam schedule is:
11:00-1:00 Psych 101
2:00-4:00 Biology
This time tomorrow it'll be over for a nice long while. I just wish I could breathe well enough to enjoy it. |

| Packet Radio Equipment? Also HSMM |
[Dec. 6th, 2009|07:01 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  bored | ] |
Does anyone have any hardware based packet radio equipment (TNCs and such) that they don't want and are willing to part with? I'm interested in some 1200baud packet equipment. (This is not to say I not interested in 300 or 9600 baud stuff though!) I'm just wanting to mess around with APRS.
ALSO, any of you fuzzy critters done anything with HSMM (High Speed MultiMedia aka "The Hinternet"). In other words using 802.11a/b/g products as part 97 devices? I have some stuff that I intend on using for it. Just wondering if any others here have heard of it or are interested in it... |

| MFF Fox Hunt results |
[Dec. 5th, 2009|07:52 am] |
I am sorry this should have been posted earlier.
Due to some problems with the MFF fox, My fox, N9WEB/fox was used, and as a result. I ran the fox hunt both days.
Saturday The first one to find the fox witch was in one of the planters outside the revolving door by the main ballroom was Eagle Beagle in 6 minutes. Since it was found by everyone hunting it so quickly, under 10 minutes, I decided to run a 2nd hunt. The second time the fox was hidden under a garbage can in the con suite by the internet terminals. This time it was more or less a tie between Sparky Blue Fox and Eagle Beagle. Sparky was in the area first looking and was honing in when EB arrived, and both lifted the covering on the can together.
Sunday After finding a fursuiter volunteer, Slayer, who ran around for an hour with the fox. First to find him was Eagle Beagle, who just randomly walked by Slayer as the fox keyed up :). I let the the fox stay running for the full hour, and everyone tracked it over and over for the full hour. |

Our Birth Date has been said to describes who we are, what we are good at, and what our
inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the
challenges we are facing. To figure out your Birth Number, add all the
numbers in your Birth Date together, like in the following example,
until there is only one digit.
A Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be,
it will just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.
Example: March 20, 1950
3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973
1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20
2 + 0 = 2
Keep going until you end up with a single digit number.
2 is the Birth Number to read for the Birth Date in the example.
#1 THE ORIGINATOR
#2 THE PEACEMAKER
#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
#4 THE CONSERVATIVE
#5 THE NONCONFORMIST
#6 THE ROMANTIC
#7 THE INTELLECTUAL
#8 THE BIG SHOT
#9 THE PERFORMER
# 1 - THE ORIGINATOR - 1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and
executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another
trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are
extremely honest and would do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to
take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the
best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them.
Lessons to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better; and to
stay open minded.
{Famous 1's - Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett,
Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, and Raquel Welch.}
#2 - THE PEACEMAKER - 2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of
others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves.
Naturally analytical and very intuitive, they don't like to be alone.
Friendship and companionship are very important and can lead them to be
successful in life; but, on the other hand, they'd rather be alone than
in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy, they should learn
to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the
moment and not put things off.
{Famous 2's - President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopie Goldberg, Thomas
Edison, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.}
# 3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - 3's are idealists. They are very
creative,social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things but
don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great
lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They
should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.
{Famous 3's - Alan Alda, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith,
Salvador Dali, and Jodi Foster}
# 4 - THE CONSERVATIVE - 4 's are sensible and traditional. They like
order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they're
expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are
attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to
wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible
and to be nice to themselves {Famous 4's -Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan,and Oprah Winfrey}
# 5 - THE NONCONFORMIST - 5's are the explorers. Their natural
curiosity,risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water.
They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole
world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation.
The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take
action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.
{Famous 5's - Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter,
Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hail.}
# 6 - THE ROMANTIC - 6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be
happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their actions
influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to
help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or
music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6's
should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they
cannot. {Famous 6's - Albert Einst ein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl
Streep,Christopher Columbus, and Goldie Hawn}
#7 - THE INTELLECTUAL - 7's are the searchers. Always probing for
hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value.
Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life,
they don't like to be questioned themselves. Th ey're never off to a fast
start, and their motto is 'slow and steady wins the race.' They come
across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners.
They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering
information.They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what
is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.
{Famous 7's - William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan
Baez, Princess Diana, and Vince Ricciardi}
# 8 - THE BIG SHOT - 8's are the problem solvers. They are
professional,blunt, and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have
grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people.
They view people objectively. They should learn to base their
decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.
{Famous 8's - Edgar Cayce, Barbra Streisand, George Harrison, Jane
Fonda,Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, and Nostradamus.}
#9 - THE PERFORMER - 9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring
and
generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they
have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them.
They have so many different personalities that people around them have a
hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing
and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from
extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving
foundation. {Famous 9s - Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy
Carter, and Elvis Presley} |

| My troubles- GONE! |
[Dec. 4th, 2009|02:28 pm] |
I got a B on my bio test. The bitch looked like she was about to cry. The distribution included 30s. I'm guessing that was her. XD
I'm feeling pretty confident about my finals.
Oh yeah, and one other little thing...
I HAVE A CAR.
My grandmother is giving me her Toyota Avalon. It's 5 years old but it only has 35,000 miles on it.
Squee!!!
Now all I have to do is go take the test so I can actually get my license. LOL. I've been driving, I know I can do it. My mom told me I'm a better driver than most people who have their license, and she wouldn't lie about something like that. I do need to practice parallel parking, and get more confident actually going the speed limit instead of 5-10 under... what can I say, I'm cautious. *shrugs* But I feel good. I feel confident! For once in my life. |

| New icon... school's almost over... still sick. |
[Dec. 3rd, 2009|11:27 am] |
Aww, look how cute that is! This icon is cropped from a commission I got right before FA went down.
I finished the last of the pointlessly redundant unit exams and turned in my final paper. All my real finals are on Monday, Frank's are on Tuesday, and Wednesday we're driving to Tallahassee!
I'm still sick but Tylenol Cold is helping a bit. Feet still hurt and I don't know what the fuck. I guess after the blisters started to peel I'm now walking around on raw skin and it's just going to hurt like fuck until I manage to grow back callouses on those spots.
Oh, and my only obligation tomorrow is to go see what I got on my test on Wednesday. Not sure if I'm stuck here for the weekend of if I'm going to Frank's house. Depends on how stressed out he is about studying I guess.
*shrugs* I'm gonna go take a nap now. |

| MogileFS Maintenance |
[Dec. 2nd, 2009|12:18 pm] |
**EDIT Thu Dec 3 23:24:15 UTC 2009 **
Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...
Hey LJers,
I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)
Thanks, |

| Fuck this week. |
[Dec. 2nd, 2009|01:10 am] |
I had to write a paper today, I have a test tomorrow, another test Thursday, and then two on Monday, in the same classes. Yeah, two of my professors are having fucking redundant unit exams right before the actual final.
Also, every part of my body hurts. My left ear feels like it might be infected. That entire side of my head is in splitting pain. I have a sore throat, my nose is stuffed up, I'm pretty sure I have a fever, and my feet still hurt from the huge blisters I got at Disney.
I've been trying every kind of over-the-counter medicine I can think of and nothing seems to help.
What did I do to deserve this? |
