    So far so good… had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled… I opted not to be put under. Not too bad… with just the novacaine, i felt only a little pain. Now, I’m on advil…getting some Vicadin (woohoo!!!) Hopefully I won’t need it though.

    I had a great day yesterday. I took the day off work to go to the International Auto Expo at the Jaxitz Center in the city. It was awesome. Lots of new vehicles and concept cars. I’ll post a link to all the pictures as soon as I get them up.

    In the evening we tracked down the approximate location of a Pirate Radio station operating out of the Bronx. We didnt find their exact location, but have it narrowed down to 2 apartment buildings.

    In about a half hour, I have to leave to get my wisdom teeth pulled (arrrrrrgghhhh)…All 4 are coming out. I still have to call my dentist. I didnt realize that when I made an apt for Tuesday to have a filling replaced that I would be pulling the same tooth today. lol

    I figure it’s a good time to turn my desktop into a Linux Workstation…. My laptop runs XP and is much more capable of gaming/performance computing so I can afford to turn my desktop into a Redhat system.

    It’s primary function is to surf the web anyways.

    I’ll be able to set it up as a DHCP, SMB and FTP server as well as an experimental development platform for web development

    Okay… Computer desk is at 85% or so… I’ll move on at about 90%. Shelves have been re-set and organized (They’re no longer falling off the wall!)

    Floor in front of the TV is next then the TV… Window Sill and then Dresser….

    The 4 months cleaning plan is on :)

    lol. After all the bitching to Dell, I forgot to give my father my laptop to bring to work. We have to reschedule now!

    Progress on the room cleaning:

    Floor 90%
    Bar 100%
    Computer Rack 100%
    Computer Desk 50%
    Top of Television 0%
    Window Sill 0%
    Dresser 0%

    I guess that I could do some work on my 2 bookshelves… and the shelves above my computer desk are starting to fall, so I need to re-secure or move them…. :)

    I didn’t (and dont plan to) do under my bed…. Maybe later on

    I’ve gotten much more tolerable with Dell support, however they still managed to piss me off. I asked them about a problem I’ve been having with studdering video and their response was, The system doesn’t perform well with the battery. Use the A/C adapter….

    …If I could have it in one location, plugged in all the time, I would have bought a desktop. Not a laptop!

    and I would NOT have spent $3k on it either! I had a MUCH slower/underpowered laptop run full screen video perfectly. Why should this workhorse not be able to play a friggen quicktime movie!

    Dell support blows. I would say about 10% of their techs actually know what they’re doing!

    You have to wonder where they get their ideas for South Park…

    I mean, Butters? an international tap dance champion with issues, a raisins (Hooters) girl, a goth guy, the guy who plays DDR all the time and a duck holding a dance-off with the kids from OC? Come on! LOL Fucking great!
