Does anyone else really care?

The bits for my new computer are in MD since Saturday at 10:20 AM. I was very tempted to drive out to MD and go see if I could get the boxes. I found an address for UPS out there. It would have taken me about 40 mins each way. I have the map quest directions all printed out along with the tracking numbers. I tried phoning them but just got a recorded message saying call back Monday – Friday. So I resisted I would have loved to get the bit today but I think I would have been more annoyed if I got all the way out there and found a locked door or someone telling me sorry no can do. So I am waiting for the UPS man on Monday. Oooo UPDATE: the UPS site now says 11:33 PM UNLOAD SCAN. So looks like it was sitting on a trailer all weekend so I probably wouldn’t have been able to get them. UPDATE: 12:39 PM IN Transit to Dulles HUB.
So instead of driving out to MD I did some more work on Projectphotos.com I am have the shopping cart stuff working, I just need to write the order pages, then rescued a friend who’s car was towed. I got dinner out of the deal 🙂

Yesterday was fun but I now have some lovely bruises about the size of a quarter from a day spent paint ballling. A group of people from work (or used to work there, or knew someone who worked there) went paint balling in WoodBridgde We had about 20 people and six boxes (6000? balls) of paint between us. How needs to go shoot things with a real gun when you can go paintballing. This was a lot of fun but now I am a little sore.

I want my new toys!!

Maybe I should have paid for 2day delivery. I ordered the components for a new computer on Monday and want them NOW. When they get here I will have an AMD 1.4Ghz 256 MB of DDR ram and a DVD rom Drive. I keep checking to see if UPS has updated the status of the shipment.

I finished working out why a little perl script i used called pushsite was uploading to many files. I fixed the problem and sent an email to the author then looked at the website for on freemeat.net and found it had already been fixed 🙂 plus an other bug fix I sent in ages ago had been included in the latest version. Oh well it was more productive than watching TV.

Rain and cycle clothes means cold me!!!!!

I was making really good time till it started raining. The half mile I lost on the lost on the last trip is back this time so I guess the odometer wasn’t in the holder for a little bit on the last time. I got home got in a hot shower then soaked in a hot bath for a while. Note to self look at your brakes they suck in the rain.
