Work! Pah...
So how can I sum up the last two days, but with two 'words': Ho hum. Work has been kinda slow as of late, I've finished all my assigned tasks. Slacking on most of it. The laptop database took no more than an hour, and finding the errors on our CD for the XP setup took the longest. I was kind of disheartened after the meeting Thursday, and felt that all my debugging and recommendations were for naught. Anyways, I went ahead and finished my bug report and recommendations, as well as catching grammatical errors in all the documentation. If I found grammar errors, you know it was bad. =p Today, the head programmer comes down to talk to me (eep!) about some executables that I'd found that our program wasn't detecting. I let him play around in the registry. Later that day, I found out that all my recommendations (ones i'd brought up at the meeting and in my analysis file), which I had been told 'Weren't going to happen this year,' were in! Woohoo!
Work just dragged on for the rest of the day and the BT took forever to get back (damn trainee drivers). We (Joe, Mustard, and I) headed off to Oasis. God I love jellyfish. Then over to Home Depot. I'm currently working on building a new PC, but first, I was to finish all the case work so I don't have to worry about hardware being in my way. I have a Thermaltake V1000a super tower, the black and red one. So, I ordered some ultra blue LEDs for the HD and power light and needed a soldering iron to finish up that work. I also needed a dremel to drill away some screw heads, because this case is so well put together, when I tried to take off the front plate, I stripped two of the four screws on the bottom plate. The red and black plates on the front are separate and I want to paint the red one silver to match the rest of my black and silver PC parts (God bless Logitech). I'm also considering changing the light up Thermaltake display on the front to something else. Back to the LEDs, I ordered two ultra blue to replace the HD and Power LEDs. I pulled the cables and LEDs out of the Thermaltake and hooked them up to my current PC. The blue for the power was pretty bright but the yellow for the HD was really weak. I went ahead and cut off the HD LED and soldered on the new blue. I hooked it back up to the PC again and they matched! I had never seen ultra blue before, but apparently Thermaltake cases use that for the power. So, I gave my spare LED to Joe. As for the Dremel, I didn't know the things were so damn expensive, I found a kit online for 25, so I checked it out at Home Depot ... kit means accessories, not accessories plus Dremel. So, I'll have to wait till I visit the woman to finish that job.
Speaking of which, the woman, 'Merc', is added as a member, because I suck at thinking and typing at the same time, so she runs through and fixes all my mistakes. Thank you.
(merc: not all of them... i just help the posts make more sense... ;p)
