h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Three or four download attempts and an iso file later, I finally have Slackware 8.1 ... well, not installed, but I'm that much closer having it all downloaded. Only took me two days and no sleep.

Oh, you want to know what's so big, heh. Right. Great Big Sea. One of my favorite bands. Playing down at the waterfront sometime around August 8th or so. There will be an entire series of concerts/bands spanning three days, the event which is scheduled during Action Week (a familiar event in Cape Breton that occurs once a year during August) is called Rock the Harbour. And being the Great Big Sea lover that I am and knowing my boyfriend also enjoys them, I figured I'd get tickets. Just for Great Big Sea, because you could also get a weekend pass, but that would probably be expensive. Now, I have no idea if this is even a full concert or not, but after I found out the *price* for these two tickets? It better darn well be a full concert! Yeesh... VISA card here I come :
I'm well on my way to bad credit. I guess its the only thing I'll ever inherit from my parents

Anyway... So that's that. Sounds like fun to me. I'll think about the money later. Way later.

And hopefully I'll have a job by the end of July anyway... yeah right

Anyone want to hear my valid excuse for why I think the EDS call centre will not call me back offering me a job even though the recruiter who did my phone interview said on the phone said I'd probably hear from them? I know my boyfriend doesn't Damn optimists and their "oh it'll all work out, stop thinking negatively, and no I don't want to hear your 'valid excuse' because it isn't true" -- but it is true, it is!









Sorry, went off on a tangent with the emoticons When I start getting into chickens, I know it's time to quit.

On the bright side (actually, nothing in this post was depressing, but I feel the compulsion to use the aside starter 'on the bright side' despite this fact), the servers with h2g2 are working much much better these days. I can actually navigate through the entire works of h2g2 without reloading each page several (hundred) times in vain (vane?) attempts to make them load, either quicker or at all. Hopefully this will last. Unless I've just jinxed it with this entry. In which case, no angry mobs please. Or if you intend to form an angry mob to send my way, at least schedule an appointment first. There's no need to be animals

later days,
