The ups and downs of clown school. Part II

So to continue my last post in a different direction, in a rather forced manner of an alternate ending, not one of those direct to Laser Disc of whatever sort films that provide such a technological choice. Mine will not provide any choice. Mine instead will ramble on about my work and other matters at the 'Pex.

Its been 2 weeks so far that we have been sitting somewhat idle cleaning the hell out of things. There is no table, bench or seat that hasn't been cleaned. I've gotten some return to fix, known as RMAs, out of the way. So have others.

Greatest of all we have the person that possibly got us into this mess and her human dog bringing in one of the most highest paying clients' new product manager and COO to have a look at our fine place of barely working for the past 2 weeks. Does this mean that D-Day is tomorrow or at least far behind? The suspense is killing me. And for the freaking second time this month I must act for all senses willing.
It meant exactly that Decision Day was not far behind! I'm sitting here at home waiting for work to call back so that we may go all or nothing for this client

But on a more greater in happiness note, I've had quite the fanciful discussion on Time Cube and the famous insane racist Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic. We've then gone after a few other conspiracies about the whole big thing about free energy. Were not talking about solar, wind or antything that is provided by the sun, energy from the sun or dinosaurs buried. No we are discussing in the hilarious manner that overcomes us, Brown's gas. That's right Brown's Gas. Well more specifically HHO which you pull from water (using energy) from your alternator (using energy from the engine, in essence more Gasoline!) then supply in gaseous form into your injection system to provide "more bang for the buck" and supposedly then giving you "more miles per gallon" of course all in quotes is what the internet says. Greatest of all is the fact the energy is lost in every aspect of this transition. But don't worry maybe that's the big 3 Oil Companies in my head telling me to use science for good. Because tearing Water apart uses energy and putting it back together obviously is like some sort of nuclear bomb going off in your piston chambers. When the hell did High School drop outs start claiming a majority on the internet. Oh yeah, MySpace and EBaum's. Once the most ridiculous place on the net (still is) and the most stupid video site for stupid people that don't understand that people actually put work into making flash animations, or anything that has any creative aspects for that matter. Maybe, we the internet should have a talk with Eric Bauman about our fairshare of income. I mean after all, it is his website that watermarks anything that makes it on his site that's yours. Does it seem fair that a man makes millions of dollars off of your work. So then why the fuck is it legal?

The ups and down of clown school

Quite possibly the greatest title I could think of at the top of my head. I mean could you do any better?

Its been an odd roller coaster so far, but greatest of all I'm having a great time enjoying the sun and trying to exercise. Even better is that I can finally just go up to people and tell the story of my relationship with my former GF exactly how it was, and be pretty void of any emotional weight. She cheated on me and people wanting to know what happened will get that answer without me crying in their arms or I angrily replying. But that wears off to apparently, as right now I feel lonely and no longer look towards her being out of the house. I'm not lonely from her of course but damn I want someone honest and truthful. I mean of all things, I devoted myself to some cheater and so hopefully I'll get used to opening up to people again. Which is where I am now on the home front for everything. I see that no matter what has happened in this past month's time. Even if I lose my job because some bastard rich people just love being rich and getting Vineyards (ahem!) The world will right itself!
I will be able to see that nothing gets as bad as it has. You can only go up. And my sights for up are fairly high. I just now gotta figure out how to get there. But didn't someone, somewhere say that getting there is half the journey. SO I guess maybe preparing is the other half, so I mean look where I am. A complete and utter learning situation where I can see that soon the world is gonna have it's way with rich people that take advantage. Rich people that are heirlooms to a family that had to put up to 80% of their earnings in taxes back in 60's.
Yet now, anytime you say a thing, communism is the term.
Good thing that the bed has been lifted. We know that truly all that they want is money. And the more money you had, the richer you stay.
And even if I never get to reach their status of wealth to tempt myself with power. To see how far I go, how far I go from no longer being me.
I can always just of course relax myself listening to Tears for Fears, continue watching the market, work my arse off wherever I am and keep on pursuing getting some sort of certification in either the form of a diploma or a certification. Will this then prove my worth to others and provide me with a life full of happiness. "Maybe I should start getting along with myself, I never did get along with anybody else" AKA a inserted quote from This River Runs Wild by The Killers but maybe that is too emo of me. However, when my trust of people for relationships returns, well, I'm pretty sure I'll do alright.

Its odd how different it is now

It seems like even though everything right now is going sour in some way or another. And for all the things that I could total up to have happened on the negative side of things over a months time. I am somewhat happy

Its odd even to me, and yet it makes a good point. If I can get through a tough time like this then do the math. It just means everything should get better. And having gone through some of the surprises so far means I am a much stronger person now than I was, and will be even stronger by the time something like this happens again.

-I had a lengthy and costly road trip to California that taught me the limits of my car. That trip also taught me why I didn't want to be with who had partaken the journey with me.
-After I got back, news that my grandmother had died in Jersey came in through a cell call from my mom. I had meant to go see her for 4 years and now what? Back to Jersey.
-I get back a week later and return to work on Monday only to find the whole place had been flipped upside down. The banks wanted their money that our owner and COO had failed valiantly to make profit from. Maybe that's because they like money enough to stuff our income tax deductions into their own pockets.
-2 days before my former "GF" moves out, while fixing her computer due to a hard drive crash I stumble upon saved IM conversations between her and her best friend. It goes on describing how they were gonna "F" each other 2 days prior to me reading it. I knew something like this may have been happening but not to that extent almost a month prior. And why'd the truth have to stick its ugly head in? I was gonna be away from her forever in 2 days!
-This week my job may still be intact or there will be mass layoffs. Who knows? I'm never going to get my raise in these conditions.

But the greatest thing of all, is that it can only get better! Maybe it will bring greater motivation to me so that 20 years from now I could be like a Steve Jobs or at least a Paul Allen. I've got enough liquid assets that I could possibly dedicate to something that still lets me be a generalist and lo and behold. Capitalism.

So here it is, the amazing and wonderful…

Story describing America's "trickle down" BS

So I decided to flip this to see what the hell the damned outcome could be. Might I remind you all that we all have lives. That we all at one time in this shitty economy where the rich are raping us more than Social Security will in our generations future. Luckily I still have a job. Ironically enough, I'm perhaps in some news making sense part of the movement of the people in charge committing white collar crimes. I'm only a lonely ol' technician there. But depending on where, why and when the banks that are in debt and the gov't that hasn't been paid its income taxes on our behalf, despite it being deducted from our paychecks decide to do something drastic about it. Then America is going to continue to be raped and pillaged like some Roman town where the soldiers storm in and demand protection through pillaging.

But to look on the bright side, I have no remorse for those being charged. I wish it was possible that the bank could both repossess their crap that they've obviously been using our "deducted income taxes" for and I can keep my job. I don't love my job but I am damn happy to have work to do and that the customers there are pleased with my work. The only part I am confused about is how does running a company into the ground slowly bring any profit to anyone? I've got customers on my back wanting their products produced.

Sort of like the rest of America holding the weight of the banks, the rich and greedy, and the car companies who feel that 60% shareholdings for us should go over to China. We've all got weights on our back right now. So let's see those sin taxes bring in some income; Everybody wants a crutch. I believe I'll have rum when I get the chance. But then again, I usually refuse to use crutches.

This life is full of garbage

Ughh, why is it that the truth hurts so much when it all comes crashing down?

Finding out what you had already suspected. And what you suspected was felt so truly that it was reason enough to instantly get her out of your life. Then you learn after trying to help her, that all of your suspicion is only just beginning of it.

Then the detailed facts and the hard hitting emotions come with it.

Why?

Jesus, I knew this girl was a damn emotionally unstable piece of humanity. Is she that screwed up in the head?

Then I have an irk of some remorse that she is that damn emotionally unstable that she has to keep her one and only best friend as a fuck buddy while I am dating her.

Worse is when she is typing all the talk about this into MSN messenger when I am right there opposite of her. I am unable to see the computer screen, but when I do time after time its enough to question why the hell do I do the stuff I do for her. And that’s when I decided that I’d treat her like a friend and never kiss her ever again. As long as I distance myself while still staying friendly the bitch will be under some surprise when I say my last words something like I know way too much about you. And your “best friend” Have a great life being the most emotionally disconnected liar you are.

Best of all I never have to take a shortcut and call her a bitch. This much information is twisting my mind, the anger fueling my determination to come out of it on top and the greatest thing is she still has no idea of how I am going to deliver this knowledge.

Comcast torrent work around: Bad Intro

So dear and loyal Comcast customer. You may have noticed your internet speed has both doubled bu that you torrent software doesn't work as it can't communicate shit to any other clients. Sound like your in that situation? Well don't despair, unless you don't have DD-WRT installed on your router.

I have done a fair amount of research but sadly none have said exactly how to do it if you have a MS Windows PC or any machine for that matter that isn't linux. Well, if you haven't done it already I'd first suggest you put a UNIX/Linux firmware onto your router known as DD-WRT. Its only about an hour process at the very most if you run into the slightest bit of problems and include studying up for it. It works quite well and lets you use routers as repeaters or receivers over WiFi.

But anyways back to what I was saying even though it is way to late for me to spell it all out for you. Several forums regarding this issue talk about placing a scripting line through SSH into the DD-WRT firmware'd router through a linux terminal (command line) Good thing there is a command prompt inside the DD-WRT GUI. Just cut and paste the code that prevents any Reset signals from reaching you PCs and then your good. I am sorry about the rambling and then the inconsistency of almost all of the sunject matter. If I want people to pay attention to my blog I need to stop making it the last thing I do in a day. I'll give a much more detailed report, but I wanted you Comcast subscribers to know. There is a way to fight the Great Firewall of Comcast (and Sandvine)

July 12th. The newest versions of uTorrent (1.8.3) provide the necessary code to get past such filters. Albeit it doesn't seem to run as fast as it has but I don't see any proof so far that it is transferring torrents any slower. You don't have to worry about touching any firmware upgrades and potentially "bricking" your router. Just get the newest version of uTorrent and you'll be OK!
