It might be an odd way of expressing a victory, but yesterday I found out that my application (paper one) made it to the second round of the JET Application Process.. This means that I should be getting a letter any day with a date for my interview (hopefully) at the Portland Consulate. //

The other day I witnessed a commercial that shocked me.. “Circuit City Is Going Out Of Business” Circuit City has been almost an epic place in my life. It was across the bridge and one of the first places I went once getting a driver’s licence. Before the rise of online stores and durring the [...]

This week it appears to be fair game for going ahead with the final summations of an administration pregnant with both trial and tribulations. For me I need to harken back to a time when I was 16, politically aware, but not a participant yet. To me the Clinton era was too riddled with trife– [...]

Ok I’ll admit it– I haven’t blogged simply due to disappointment. No its true I did feel a bit down after it hit and I’ve been in silent meditation. This has allowed me reflection time– Time that I use to work on my website. As for the website I’m building.. I have a few more [...]

Ok maybe “sacrifice” is a bit too harsh here to say, but it’s more like a come to Jesus moment. Fallout 3 is a great game– or atleast appears to be a great game if your computer doesn’t ‘zoink out’ all the time with old software bitching about upgrades and of course the occasional cough..WPA [...]

Right now I’m pulling a midnight– balls out– don’t know if it’ll work or not move. I’ve given up on trying to fix some major errors that reside in my new linux machine. If it wasn’t clear before… it is now. Ubuntu doesn’t like you switching up the home directories on it. So where I’m [...]

here’s my current style that I’m rolling with.J’s current snapshot As you can see I’m rolling with a “#4″ 1/2 buzzcut up top. I’ve put on the hoody (zipdown) nearly permanently now. Finally my theme has often been ‘dark’ colors… (just because– it don’t mean anything) Ok.. that’s all: Check out this great song sometime: [...]

So I was playing with a partition manager and found nearly 90Gbs of unused hd space. So I decided I should format it into ext3 (linux filing format) then move my home dir from where it is to the new partition. The reason why is simply because having the /home dir set in a separate [...]
