The Hard Drive I ordered to replace the one that died in my PC arrived at the Melville Fed Ex office this morning around 8:15. I called FedEx to arrange to pick it up at their walk in center.

I went to FedEx and the guy couldn’t find my package. It wasn’t on hold nor did it show up in his computer under my address. I failed to bring the tracking number with me, so I headed back home and logged on to the Fed-Ex website. Called up the tracking page and sent it to the printer… The printer took 2 minutes to warm up and then spit out my confirmation page.

As I was walking out of my bedroom into the hallway, I looked down at the paper and read the top line…The word DELIVERED stood out to me… I lifted my head to notice the box sitting on the shelf in the hallway.

Aparently while I was 5 minutes away at Fed-Ex picking up my package, the Fed-Ex delivery guy had delivered the box to my house.

Here’s why I love and hate being a geek. I found a 13.5 GB HDD in one of my old computers… It seems to be in pretty good shape too. Had no problem installing XP and seems to be quicker than my old drives too

why I hate it? Have you read my prev post? I JUST bought a new drive online. LOL!

You can often save money by building your own PC, however it seems like someone “up there” wants me to have a new PC. I got a copy of “All Windows” which consists of EVERY version of Windows ever released on 2 DVDs… I’m playing around with it so I ordered a DVD-Rom drive for my desktop so I could play around with it. (Dont want to screw up my laptop. It kicks arse!)

So I went to install Windows XP and the Hard Drive crapped out! So I ordered a new HDD from newegg.com (They had a 40GB drive for $45)….

At this rate, I’ll have a new computer by the end of the month 🙂

Last night was a blast. Met up with Scotto for happy hour at Mulchahy’s. I never realized until yesterday that mulchahy’s had an outdoor area. Plus, for happy hour, they had a huge buffet featuring burgers, hot dogs, baked clams, chicken wings, ribs, etc… All free too…. I was impressed. So we hung out for a few hours and checked out the Jimmy Buffet cover band (I think their name was Parrotville or something like that. They were really good. We also engaged in an ongoing text message session with this girl named Marisol.

Backtracking a bit, Thursday, while waiting for friends to show up at Jillians, I started playing with my phone. Specifically, I began sending “Hi. Just a random text to say hi” to people with consecutive phone numbers starting above my own. I probably sent about 20 text messages to random SprintPCS numbers. Unfortunately, nobody texted me back.

Until last night 🙂

Scott and I were getting a kick out of sending messages back and forth with some 25 year old Latino girl who wanted only to sit home on a Friday night and watch the Yankee game 🙂 Personally, I think she lied about her age and probably wasn’t allowed to go out that late..lol….We texted back and forth for an hour or so and even invited her out… It was quite amusing.

If you have a SprintPCS phone, you can try to download my Foamy ringtones.
