New car.
Posted on July 18, 2010 at 8:52 pm.
In an effort to reduce spending I traded in my old car for the same exact make and model (but new) and my monthy payment went down $100. Hello $1200/year!
My new car is identical to my old car, but with one important distinction. It has a USB port. You plug in a USB drive, and it plays the music through the sound system. You also control it through normal sound controls, and it outputs the track info to the sound screen.
There are also a couple of other minor improvements from the 2007 model.

Job regained.
Posted on July 18, 2010 at 8:50 pm.
After I was laid off on Thursday, I called everyone I know and told them I needed a job. I also searched online and applied to four different places.
On Friday I found another job. My friend Alex, the first person I called, was able to hire me. Woot!
The bad news is that I have to take a 10% pay cut, but but the good news is that I will end up working with .NET instead of old ASP - so a chance to learn and grow. Also there will be benefits, unlike before.
I am starting on the 20th, which is good, since my old job will still be paying me for next week. I hope it works out. Being unemployed for 20 hours was less than inspiring.
(Actually I wasn't really unemployed, since my old job will still pay me for the week of 18-24.)

Job lost.
Posted on July 18, 2010 at 8:47 pm.
This past Thursday I lost my job. My boss couldn't afford to keep me anymore, since there is hardly any work. I suspected this was coming, because unlike when I first started I did about six hours of work every day, and lately I've been doing one to two.
Either way, he bought me lunch and told me that I can alway count on him to give me the most stellar recommendations. After lunch I went home.

Starcraft 2 is coming soon.

I'm still playing the beta, but I can't wait for July 27th, when the full game will come out. Also, I am very proud of my achievements, even though I know they will all disappear once the beta is over. Oh well. =)

Movie - John Rambo.
Posted on July 14, 2010 at 9:40 am.
John Rambo was on TV a couple of days ago, and I watched it. Back in the day when it first came out I decided against seeing it in the theater, and later I didn't rent it, but for free it was good enough. The synopsis is that Rambo doesn't want to kill people, but ends up killing people, which is as much as you'd expect.

Game #152 - The Silver Lining - Episode 1.
Posted on July 3, 2010 at 9:33 pm.
Earlier I wrote about the fan-made King's Quest sequel being shut down by Activision. Well, the fans protested, and the publisher changed their mind and granted the project a non-commercial license.
Well, today I beat the first episode of The Silver Lining, and will soon write a review. For the rest of you mere mortals the game will be available on July 10th. FOR FREE!!!
That's also the day the reviews will be published, and until then I can't tell you anything else. Cheers!

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
