Update on Longhorn 4074…

Well I downloaded the DVD image of LH 4074 and went to install it…something weird is up with my computer. The LH installer doesn’t seem to like my computer for some reason. When I start the installer it starts and then just quits…no messages, no errors, nothing, it just quits. So I installed it in a virtual machine, but that definitely doesn’t give a fair indicator of this OS. The graphics and the ram are severely limited in a VM because it’s stuck sharing with the host OS. Anywho…I will have to play around with this later when I actually get some free time. Of to study more…grr…stupid finals.

Testing out MT 3.0

Well, MT 3.0 has finally been released, well sort of. Sixapart did some very weird stuff with there new licensing plans that I’m not such a fan of, but that’s another story. I’ll be testing out MT 3.0 Free (yes, they are now charging even for certain levels of personal use) at this site

XxDesmusxX.net on MT 3.0

So check that out. I might make some test entries both there and here, but time will tell. It’s also quite possible that I will be moving to an entirely different system. I am not liking the way that Sixapart is heading with MT. pMachine or WordPress are both looking like very decent options.

Some thoughts before taking a final…

So I am about to head off for one of my finals, Sports Psychology. Am I nervous? Yeah a bit. Am I excited about it? Yeah, cause it’s one step closer to being done with this stress for a few months.

Current Tunes:  Rufus Wainwright – Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk (4:44)

I am liking Rufus, as hard as I try not to. lol. After seeing his concert in February it’s been very difficult to not like his music. It’s just catchy.

Wow…am I ever sick of this humidity already. This is not looking too good for the rest of the summer. lol. I know Rochester is going to be nasty like this all summer. …Not to mention that place called the Caribbean where I’ll be going, yeah, they have just a little bit of humidity, lol, just a touch.

Well, I am done rambling. I had to get my disorganized, far from grammatically correct thoughts out before I take this final. Ciao for now.

Downloading Longhorn 4047

I am downloading Longhorn 4074 as speak…For the second time. Once I get this downloaded, burned, and installed I will write up some kind of review of my testing experience. From what I’ve read so far this is supposed to be pretty sweet. DCM, Desktop Content Management (Formely DCE) is included at least to a minor extent. The real question is going to be if my crappy Intel Extreme Graphics card can handle this beast. …We shall see. Check back soon for a review

Looking towards the summer

I thought I would try and distract myself from all the work I have to still do and maybe ramble a bit about my plans for this upcoming summer.

Currently the plan is to spend the summer at home. I will in fact be working for my father at his office. Primarily I’ll be handling all of the computer and miscellaneous electronics issues. Also, I will be my father’s personal assistant managing anything that he feels the need to delegate to me. Other than that I plan on working out at a local gym a few days a week (gotta try to get buff). The other plan just includes sleeping like crazy on the weekends, actually reading for fun (gasp), and in all likelihood, way too much computer stuff. I plan to update this site a bunch over the summer when I actually have some free time. So look out for some drastic changes.  The intro site will likely remain the same because I am rather fond of it’s simplicity, but I think the rest of the site is going to get a massive makeover. Hmm…whatelse, whatelse.

Planning on either going down to Long Island to see Liz or she’ll be coming up to the good ol’ Rochester for some quality girlfriend time. Definitely going to the Carribean for 10 days. Oh hell yes. My family is renting a um 50? foot sailboat and we’ll be sailing around to St. Thomas, St. John, Tortola, and several other islands that are escaping from my mind at the moment. So if you happen to be in that area around the end of June/Beginning of July…watch out. After I get home from that I think the plan is to go down to the city for a weekend or so and hang out with my Clare. That should be kinda cool. Nothing like having a friend with an apartment in Grennich Village for the summer. lol. NYC watch out. Hmm…I think that might be it. There will of coarse be random visits to Buffalo to chill with my brother when I need to get out of the house and away from the parents (no offense). Hopefully a new baby kitten will be joining me this summer as well. This will quite possibly be the cutest thing ever, mark my words.

And of coarse I will be attempting to prepare myself for the rukus that will be next year. Yes, it will in fact be senior year for everyone else, Junior year part II for Justin, but shush. It’s going to be a very interesting year with a plethora of emotions. I don’t even want to think about what graduation (for everyone else) is going to be like. Anywho, I am going to stop this banter and get back to that being productive thing. Anyone who actually reads this to the end please feel free to comment on your summer plans.

Some classic stuff

You’re just too good to be true.

Can’t take my eyes off you.

You’d be like Heaven to touch.

I wanna hold you so much.

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I’m alive.

You’re just too good to be true.

Can’t take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.

There’s nothing else to compare.

The sight of you leaves me weak.

There are no words left to speak,

But if you feel like I feel,

Please let me know that it’s real.

You’re just too good to be true.

Can’t take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,

And if it’s quite alright,

I need you, baby,

To warm a lonely night.

I love you, baby.

Trust in me when I say:

Oh, pretty baby,

Don’t bring me down, I pray.

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay

And let me love you, baby.

Let me love you.

You’re just too good to be true.

Can’t take my eyes off you.

You’d be like Heaven to touch.

I wanna hold you so much.

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I’m alive.

You’re just too good to be true.

Can’t take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,

And if it’s quite alright,

I need you, baby,

To warm a lonely night.

I love you, baby.

Trust in me when I say:

Oh, pretty baby,

Don’t bring me down, I pray.

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

Class is done

Well it’s finally here. Classes are done, now it’s just on to the mounds of endless papers and countless hours of studying. At least I don’t have to go to classes anymore though. That is definitely a huge plus. Anyways, for all you VC people, congrads on finishing another semester of classes. For all you soon to be seniors, Yikes . lol. For all you graduating seniors, congrads and the best of luck. Keep in touch all of you and be sure to drop back in to the good ‘ol VC.
