Roadhead's Boring Life

Wedding Invitations

2005-11-18T04:07:40Z

The happiest day of my life grows closer all the time, and I still don't have everyone's address that I would like to mail them an invite!

If anyone who is reading this would like to be officially invited, please email me your name and address and make sure you get one.

robpayne at gmail dot com should work for everyone - In case you didn't know its Feb 5th 2006 and will be in Big Sandy, Texas. Hope to see you there!

I'm getting married soon!

I think we're cuter than buttons.

Car Purchased.

2005-01-12T02:22:01Z

I picked up an '89 Honda CRX from someone in our neighborhood for $950, and it runs.

His wife is the original owner, and the car has 141,000 miles or so on it.

Its a five speed, and the AC doesn't work. But it DOES have a tape player.

Now I am just like Dustin Mclemore.

Damn shes Cute

Wow its been so long they've totally changed this page! (this update page, not your friends page)

2004-09-25T23:54:11Z

Ok really the only thing I can report is that I still don't have a "real" job, not that I'm actively looking. I've been helping GL out at his BBQ joint until he can find someone else that will work days, the money isn't great but it keeps me busy and I get to drink iced tea by the quart.

After working 40 hour weeks for so long, having so much free time would be annoying if it weren't for the fact that I get to hang out with Jamie *almost* everyday. As everyone who knows her I think will agree shes the hottest, nerdiest, coolest, most laid-back girl that I've ever had the fortune to find myself attached to. Shes perfect in every manner of measurement that I can conceive of.

So yea, Roadhead is doing fine. He doesn't update his journal because he doesn't think about it as much, that was something I usually did at work, at Cox, and since I haven't been there, I guess I've let this fall by the way-side, along with AskaDick (though I did just post something yesterday).

I want to expand that site into more of a general question and answer forum and get away from the love and lust focus as much, as I think I've run out of material in that arena after all this time.

AH!

Today has not been super eventful, I was all ready to take the digital cable box back to Cox when LC and I remembered the $10 a month they would start charging us to rent our cable modem, so LC is gonna get us another one today, meaning I'm waiting til after lunch to return the DCT.

I officially filed for unemployment today, now its just waiting on the paperwork. In the meantime, if anyone needs a nerd then dont hesitate to ask, my rates are reasonable I promise.

Everyone one of you is Oh oh oh oh

2004-06-25T22:26:27Z

FIRED!

Well, me at least. As of about an hour ago I am no longer employed :)

Not upset, sort of happy actually, even though I don't have another job lined up right now obviously.

Anyone have any leads?

Linksys and What Not

2004-06-17T14:31:02Z

Last night we finally turned ICS off on my machine and installed a Linksys router. Ehh, it seems to be doing the job so far.

no longer simply the realm of the cool, I too have a gmail account! I got the username I wanted too (not not Roadhead, robpayne).

This will be the last email account I probably ever acquire, and I'll probably end up forwarding all my mail there...

These are from my camera, hopefully I can get Catie's uploaded soon

On our last night I sit at an internet terminal while Amber and LC play 8 ball behind me. Catie is smoking of course.

The trip has been great, Amsterdam is a wonderful city, and I'll definitely be back as soon as I can, with only 1 person in tow :)

Big fluffy bags of White Widow, Jack Herrer, AK-47, Purple Haze, Grey Gaze, Grey Mist, Super Polm, Ice-O-Lator, Orange Bud, Juicy Fruit, Free World Favorite, PPI, Top 44, Super Skunk, and so many others that I can't even recall, all about 12 euro.

Definitely need to make legalization a reality back home in the states :(

Babylon 5, Completed

2004-05-21T17:23:09Z

37.5 gigs, 10 torrents. Its a great set of DVD rips, DivX3.11/AC3 for the 1st season I think and XviD/MP3 after that. Right now I'm on some 9 gig torrent I spotted on Suprnova for DVD rips of the second season of Voyager. I'll probably have to try and leave this running the entire time I'm in Amsterdam. :)

Lucent 48 port switch

2004-05-04T15:57:39Z

10/100 managed switch, for free :) Sure 4 of the ports are dead, but you can't beat the price.

Josh is a cool guy to say the least.

Saturday Night

Still Congested

2004-04-29T20:46:02Z

Its no as bad as it was, but I'm still not clear nasally :(

Any suggestions? 15 mL of NyQuil and a Claritin+Ephedrine seemed like a powerful combo...

Ingested...

2004-04-29T17:07:31Z

10 mg Loratadine
240 mg Psuedoephedrine sulfate
15 mg Dextromethorpan hBr
6.25 mg Doxylamine succinate

Hopefully I will feel better soon.

New DVD Burner :)

2004-04-23T12:07:16Z

And on the last three discs of my spindle, after an immediate firmware update, I've burned 3 Ritek G04s at 8x with no problems.

Thats about 8 minutes a disc. Lets just say I'm satisfied :)

"Is 800 more than 256?"

2004-04-22T15:05:27Z

Someone actually called and asked me that, just now.

I know this is messy...

http://biggestpos.com/torrents.txt

But it works, anyone that can see what I'm doing and offer a more elegant solution (for my edification) is welcome to. This is the function being called on http://biggestpos.com to generate that torrents section towards the bottom.

Grrr, of course LJ is executing all the HTML, anyone know off the top of their head how to escape that?

Not Sure Why

2004-04-19T13:54:35Z

But mwave.com has the Pioneer 107 for $99.

I ordered a black one. Anthony said he'd take my 105 off my hands for $50. Oddly, that drive still seems to fetch $150 according to pricewatch.com, I wonder why anyone would get the 105 for $150 when the 107 is $99 ?
