Dave Kellam

Just took it easy last night, watched a movie with dave, shawn, andrew and eilis. We watched Waydowntown on dave’s recommendation, it was a damn good movie. We started watching Leningrad Cowboys Go America, but shawn and eilis didn’t really find it as funny as the rest of us. It’s extremely dry, you have to like that type of humour.

I saw Hayden play at one of the local pubs the other night with dave. It took us awhile to get in, but I have to admit it was worth it. The show was good, nice atmosphere, good music. I picked up Hayden’s new cd, it comes out in about a month. The one he was selling was a limited edition one that’s packaged a little bit different from the one that’s being released to store’s. You can grab one of his songs at hardwood records.

A shower and a shave always makes you feel good. A lot of the time I’m just too damn lazy to bother shaving. I have a computer architecture class shortly, my last class of the day and the week. It tends to be fairly boring because the professor reads verbatim off the powerpoint slides. Oh well.

Right now our phone is down. I’m nor sure if it’s because we didn’t get the bill paid on time or they’re doing line work. The bill got buried, I thought I had paid it. There’s a couple of phone company trucks accross the street doing a bunch of work. I really have no idea. It’s no like I can call the phone company from here and find out what’s going on. I’ll give them a shout after class.

Apparently, my phone number is copyrighted. So every time that someone calls me, they’re in violation of international copyright law. It’s kind of screwy, they did it to teach major corporations a lesson. Actually, it’s no so much the telephone number itself that’s copyrighted, but the tone required to dial the number.

Tests that are worth 20% of your mark suck even more when they’re only out of 20 marks. That means if you lose one mark you lose 1%. On that note, I think I did alright, time will tell though.

Henry is a barber who shaves all people who do not shave themselves. Does Henry shave himself?

I have to do some studying for a ‘quiz’ that’s worth twenty percent of my mark in discrete mathematics and logic. Five of these quizzes throughout the year means no exam, at least that’s kind of a plus.

I found a temporary solution to the webcam problem. It’s some decent software, but it’s stamping the program’s name on it. I guess that’s what happens with free software. At least it works though.

I think dreamhost may be doing some server work, the connection to my site seems really slow right now. For awhile, it just wasn’t working at all.

A fairly uneventful day. I have to write a couple of articles for the paper on sunday. We’re doing a split theme issue, it should be pretty good. I had a couple of classes and a meeting today, that’s about it. Now, it’s friday night have time to have some fun.

My webcam isn’t working right now. I put a tv card in my computer, now the only input the webcam software will take is from the tv card. I have to play around with it. Then I installed windows xp and the drivers for the tv card don’t work. Now I have lots of stuff that doesn’t work. It is convenient to be able to turn on a news broadcast or something when you’re working at the computer.

Everyone believes that tomorrow is the future. We have no concept of tomorrow and no concept of the future. Everyday brings new trials and tribulations. Things we aren’t prepared for, the world throws us for a loop. Just role with the punches and fuck the rest of it.
