potpourri

Posted in Uncategorized at 03:22 UTC by Richard

A couple quick blurbs I want to go over. Over the past few months, my carpal tunnel or tendonitis or whatever you want to refer to it as in both of my hands has really gotten bad. I say bad because quite often I have either pain or tingling sensations in various fingers or parts of my hands. I’ve sufferred it to a small degree for about 6 or 7 years now, but it is never more than just a flare up and goes away, well this isn’t going away, it just either gets slightly less painful or slightly more painful. I’m a bit worried about it and am planning on seeing a specialist soon.

Final Fantasy XI. This game still occupies most of my gaming and computer time, which can sometimes occupy much of my free time. I hit level 70 warrior over the weekend which is very cool and my character is starting to become quite powerful, though I’m still lagging in much of the really high end equipment. I don’t see myself giving up on this game anytime soon, though I think I will start to slow down a bit due to the problems I already mentioned about my hands and wrists.

I have a bit of money saved up and was about to pull the trigger on buying a new car, I decided not to since I just paid off my current car. Now that I’m not paying payments, I’ll have even more spending money (which I haven’t spent in a long time). I’m starting to think I’m going to finally pull the trigger on getting a computer upgrade. Helll, I may just build an entirely new computer from scratch which I haven’t done in a long time. All I’ve done in the past 4 or 5 years is just upgrade one or a few parts at a time.

Til next time, trust nothing you hear from Donaald Rumsfeld.

wordpress

I’m strongly considering moving all blogging to Wordpress so that I can keep it local to my webserver. Right now I use blogger, which is great, but I want a more “do-it-yourself” feel to it. So I’ve setup a database and installed wordpress and am now giving a trial run. I am mirroring this post on both the front page (using blogger) and within wordpress. I’ll probably switch over 100% soon enough.

If you didn’t know, this site and a few others are hosted on a linode myself and three friends rent out. We have a linode96 which offers “good enough” specs to get the job done. Well, let me get to the point of my post, here’s a block of a conversation I had with my friend about our bandwidth

(10:25:37) my98strat: teh rawr
(10:26:25) play0r_sd: aw yeah
(10:26:36) my98strat: w0rd
(10:26:42) my98strat: so wuz up dawg
(10:26:56) my98strat: how much bandwidth do we typically have left at the end of the month?
(10:28:55) play0r_sd: uh
(10:29:00) play0r_sd: haven’t looked in awhile
(10:29:03) play0r_sd: hang on
(10:29:04) my98strat: heh
(10:29:07) my98strat: word
(10:30:37) play0r_sd: apparently the 96 allows 116GB per month now
(10:30:42) play0r_sd: so a fucking shitload
(10:30:51) my98strat: rol
(10:30:55) my98strat: how many gigs do we usually use?
(10:31:00) play0r_sd: less than 10
(10:31:07) my98strat: rofl

linode gives you quite a bit of banwidth eh?
