Work work work, work work.

Busy working on updated voice modem code, but my brain has been fried since Thursday, so I’m not making much progress, which is bad.

So I took a quiz thingy.

Which Sluggy Freelance Character Are You?

Wheeeeee *splat*

Have had a lot of stuff going on recently. Last Friday we had a patent
lawyer in at SimPro. We’re thinking of taking patents out of some of
the things we do, which I think would be pretty neat. I stayed up late
the night before to try and get my new call handler software working,
and it [...]

Cable modem goodness, finally.

meta-markup: 0
Well, I finally have broadband Internet access at home. The AT&T install
guy came over on Friday afternoon, did a bunch of work in the wall, gave
me a digital cable box and left. After a little bit of testing, I found
that the cable box didn’t tune above channel 13 and the cable modem
wouldn’t sync. As [...]

Stuff and stuff

meta-markup: 0
Haven’t been updating this as recently as I used to, which I guess is

she’s got school, or something. Need to get out [...]

New TV!!! And modems suck!

meta-markup: 0
Yay! I got my new TV today, and it looks great! I had to skip work for
about half the day because they decided it would be good to deliver it
while Andrea was at class, but it all worked out pretty well. I’ll probably
snap some shots of it over the weekend.

On the downside, I still [...]

Weekend o’ Fun

meta-markup: 0
Last weekend was interesting. Saturday night, jtn and I went into
Boston to see Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation at the
Coolidge Corner cinema. It was an enjoyable show, they showed Rejected and
Ah, L’Amour by Don Hertzfeldt, the latter of which I hadn’t seen before, and
Eat by Bill Plympton. There were a [...]
