Sound Problems
Date: Sat 2 July 2005
Time: 7:55 PM EDT
I upgraded my OS from Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4 yesterday, and now the sound is acting weird. For example, sometimes Quake2 will play sound and sometimes it won't. I can't get anything from the microphone, so no more Teamspeak until I get that fixed.
My Watch, and New Work Role
Date: Fri 1 July 2005
Time: 8:49 PM EDT
As of 8:50pm, my watch is 89 seconds ahead. So, after about 604,850 seconds, it went from 9 seconds to 89 seconds. That's a gain of 80 seconds by my watch after about 604,850 seconds. So it gains a second every 126 minutes...also, it gains a minute every 126 hours, or a minute about every five days. In other words, it hasn't changed a bit from how I remember it.
I've been assigned to a different position at work, starting Tuesday. Instead of doing tech support full time, I'll be working on in-house projects (but still helping out with the tech support when things get crazy busy).
I've been hoping for something like that for many months. We've hired several new people this year, and they always leave a mess or a puzzle to solve for the next person. I've gotten sick of it, so much so that I was very close to leaving. In fact, the day before I learned that I was going to be moved, I had typed up a resignation email. I didn't work up the nerve to send it that day, which turned out to be a good thing.
I should be really excited, but I'm not. I'm effectively changing to the career that I've always wanted, without going through the trouble of finding a new place of employment. I've gotten so dead inside though that I don't feel anything regarding it. I can't remember the last time I felt hopeful or enthusiastic about anything.
Fat
Date: Wed 29 June 2005
Time: 10:51 PM EDT
I've gained so much weight in the last few months that I'm literally bursting through my clothes. So I put myself on a diet. Last year I weighed less than I had in years because I only ate one meal a day. I'm trying to get back to that, so now I'm hungry all the time. I've been cranky all day.
