Food porn
So I finally went out and bought some bacon (Save a lot FTW) and decided to make something for dinner. Started cooking the bacon, then I decided I wanted a bacon burger, that’s right, Bacon first, then I figure out what I’m cooking… Anyway, Just wanted to brag…
Ugh, Spam!
So I got my first taste of the “best” part of running the ning site. Unintended promotion via a spam bot! They joined about a week ago, and I thought there was something weird about it. I noticed like 5 other people join afterwards that didn’t belong. I was looking at the members and noticed that the original “person” had proceeded to invite over 1000 people to our site! They didn’t even have a website, what were they planing on doing? So the people that joined afterward were randomly invited, AND JOINED! Well, hopefully that’s over for now…
Oh so busy!
So, I try to stay away from the personal stuff on my blog, that’s what my twitter and facebook is for. I did want to say for the record that I have been so busy these past couple weeks! Work decided to cut 1 person too many, and when you leave only 4 full time and 2 part time employees to run the store, and then approve vacations this month. This leaves us to work our butts off! I clocked 101 hours in the last 2 weeks! I am an hourly employee, so I’ll take the extra hours and overtime. Anyway, that’s my excuse, and hence the lack of blog posts, quality tweets, appearances at tweetups and the sorrying state of the stl twitter ning site. Anyway, Don’t expect a ton out of me for a little bit longer, not that I really have any regular readers anyway…
NoSleepHD protects my sanity
NoSleepHD is an windows utility that stops your external hard drive from going to sleep. Windows by default will put to sleep external devices to save energy and such. The problem I have is when my external decides to wind up, which can be at any given time, gives me some terrible audio feedback on my speakers. So, until I get that problem fixed (Most likely convert to all digital audio) this will do. Also people who need the performance perks of having a external that is ready to go will also find use in this program. It’s pretty straightforward, free and you can download it here.
Cardinal!
We were visited by a cardinal last night. Don’t know why he’d pick such a shitty apartment to crash at… I took a video, but it came out much too dark.
