ENIAC LIVES!

Sorry state of affairs...

Basically, I have slept, worked, eaten and read my life away thus far and that is a sorry state of affairs.

i'm tired

G.ho.st

set up a G.ho.st account this morning and think it is awesome totally! If you are as uninformed about these things as I am and was, G.ho.st is cloud computing or rather a virtual computer  you can access anywhere on the net or from any computer hooked up to the internet. Soooo you no longer have to carry around a thumbdrive (although I will because I love mine) because all of your important files are on this virtual computer. oh stop reading my crap and just go to G.ho.st on the net and check it out!!!

another day at the mall

sitting here at the mall living on free wifi. Nothing in the world like surfing for free except ya don't have any privacy and I constantly feel like I have to look over my shoulder in case some idiot wants to read this drek or watch my surfing habits.

had lunch in mall at JJBBQ.  Bourbon chicken, generic lo mein and fried rice dish with a plastic bottle of coke. hmm.  What has this world come too. I really wanted Thai food!!

Hunting for hotspots

As usual, I discover things long after everyone else on the planet has. I've discovered the tv show "LOST" and am quite taken with it. It has everything I love: survival on a seemingly deserted island, intrigue, mystery, and the unknown. Like I say, it is highly addictive. However, this has developed problems for me twofold. Number one, I have been going without a lot of sleep and second I have overexceeded my broadband wireless card limits. In my craziness to keep seeing what would happen next in the past episodes, I ran over my 5GB limit and actually went to 6. Technologically I am studpid and didnt realize that streaming video costs so much. I do now. Lesson learned the hard and expensive way at .25 cents a megabyte. Well, I called my service provider, and they said they would work with me and let me off the hook this one time. I guess I will see how true they were to their word when the bill comes.  However, since the turnover date just passed days ago, I have to wait three weeks until i can seriously go surfing again. Guess I will be watching LOST and typing this blog at the local mall for the next three weeks.(free wifi)  Actually, I will not be watching LOST on my internet access card until prices come down. Guess I should have downloaded instead of streamed..

Just another voice in the universe....

Mine is just a another voice in a universe of voices. Nothing special here. So many things I want to accomplish but yet the need for endless hours of sleep. What is so wonderful about deep sleep.

·                     SAFETY! A strange feeling that I am safe even though I am at my most vulnerable when I am sleeping.

·                     ESCAPE! Like my friend Chris says, "There must always be an escape plan. Pull lever and jettison." When I cannot deal with this life, there must be a way to escape it. Some through there own devices never return.

·                     PLEASURE! It feels good, especially on a sound mind with not a worry in sight. The body after all must rebuild itself. Replacing spent cells with new building blocks to keep itself functioning. Ahhh. How soothing, but it is only this way because I am not alone and usually surrounded by those that I love dearly. What will happen if I outlive everyone that I hold dear. What will happen when I am alone. Living will be unbearable enough, but what about sleeping. Sleeping will be....well...a true nightmare.

The act of writing. What a chore it is. Talk about being all alone.

 

Just a test

Twenty Thousand Vacuum Tubes Later and a first post....

Welcome to my blog. I've been fascinated by computers and technology in general for some years now. Thus the title I came up with. However, this is a personal blog concerning my interests in which computers and technology play a big part, but I am sure I will go off in other directions along the way.  I am just a regular to somewhat strange fellow who thinks too much and feels compelled to put it all down on electronic type for the world to read or hopefully just a few like-minded folk. Its rather late now and I have to be up early for work tomorrow so I will end now but will post again soon. My real first name is Erik by the way. Nice to meet you!
