random ramblings of a crazed nerd

So ol Friday is nearly upon us, however to me, it’s “SHORTS DAY!!!” what is shorts day you ask? Well it’s the day my new shorts come in from Old Navy - the online shop was having a sale on my favorite ON cut of jeans that cover your knees (so many shorts are too short) so was very happy to pick up 2 pairs, $15/per - but a deal compared to the $25 usually paid for, so that + new shirts from Woot.com - very happy indeed.

Budget hit a strange note today, I had over $200 extra bucks in the budget, was hyped, got the first big billing last night with the new processor, some minor glitches I expected - but it went pretty smooth - so I got excited this morning as I did my morning bank check, and I find myself nearly $200 over (in pending transactions) so I reviewed what was going on and it seems some car stuff I ordered for my dad (got him some PayPal $$ as I can get it quicker than him transferring it…) however in the end it took too long, so I just paid for it on my debit card, well it seems they billed me twice - once for the amount @ checkout, then a second time for the adjusted amount as 2 items were out of stock… so as it stands I have 2 350+ transactions sitting in a pending mode. Fu-un!

Relocated the parents PC and got them a new wireless card for it, as the old USB dongle was given to help build a PC for a customer, but never got replaced - so I snagged one from Officemax Wednesday and today got it all setup in it’s new room all wirelessly, even gave them a ol Woot purchase my MX 5000 kit to replace the old gross keyboard and mouse, worked out really well - which got me looking again at buying a MacPro, and part of me is starting to get tired of Mac hardware, while the iMac is cheaper I dislike the lack of drive replacement ease/expandability, and its all in one. Ugh.

Anywhoo - not sure what I am working on this evening, I pretty much have the core of the conversion done for RM so if all goes well, I can wrap up that tomorrow with mainly some template tweaks, but the core of the paid job looks to be done, all meta data (picture / ratings) got migrated in so needless to say its looking good, just need to fine tune category templates to lend a hand, and then figure out some sort of voodoo for the main page…. hrmm. So have a good Friday folks, may the shorts be with you.
