Well, i’m back in kingston

Well, i’m back in kingston right now and i imagine i’ll be here for a little while. It all depends on the job I had an interview for in brockville this week. If i get accepted for that, i’ll probably be moving back. Beyond that, I have to get to bed so i can be up early tomorrow.

I just read an interesting

I just read an interesting article about some of the processes involved in converting movies to various television sizes. A lot of people never stop to think about the parts of the picture that they’re losing when they watch a movie at home.

Perhaps i’ll buy myself a

Perhaps i’ll buy myself a trackball. I’ve thought about getting one before. If you use a trackball or have some thoughts on the matter, feel free to drop me a line. I might be able to find some better pricing, perhaps a bit more expensive, although it would be for the newer model.

I think I might need

I think I might need to buy a new mouse, the one I have now keeps freezing up on me and sometimes it will just start scrolling through webpages. I’ve had an mp3 player for a year or two and found that I didn’t get much use out of it during the school year. The truth of it is, I forgot about the thing after I moved in. At some point during the school year, I installed windows 2000 and have no plans to go back to 98. Now, creative labs, the makers of the nomad have moved onto bigger and brighter things, in terms of the jukebox and the nomad II and have totally neglected any support of their older products. They don’t have any drivers for the nomad that will work under 2000, which is really a dissapointment. I could have gone with the Rio 500 at the time I got it, and probably should have.

I called the police tonite

I called the police tonite and gave them some information about my bike. I guess there’s a chance that I might get it back. However, I lack the optimism and lack faith in humanity. There’s some sort of double standard that exists inside my head. In general, it’s supposed to be wrong to steal. If someone steals from a large multinational corporation, it doesn’t affect me. Now someone steals from a student, a half-broke student, that pisses me off. Go to a store and steal a bike, don’t go ripping off people who live in the student ghetto. I suppose this is just a place to vent, humanity isn’t all that bad.

Decided to watch Rules of

Decided to watch Rules of Engagement tonite, one of the movies i downloaded off the network before i left residence. Overall, it was an alright movie, nothing absolutely stunning that stands out, it reads like a lot of other military court drama movies that you’ve seen. Plus, there’s some action thrown in as well. Off course, Samuel L Jackson is in the movie, so it’s gets bonus points.

I decided to go downtown

I decided to go downtown this afternoon to pick up some contact solution. On my way out the door, I realized that my bike was no longer on the front porch. Some asshole stole my bike within the last 24 hours. I’m not too impressed, that was my mode of transportation around town. I had the thing locked to the front porch because my lease says that we’re not allowed to bring bikes inside the house. My housemate’s bike wasn’t stolen, i guess it wasn’t really that appealing. A giant pain in the ass, it will take me 45 minutes to walk to work tomorrow instead of a 10 minute bike ride.
