Yesterday was my birthday

I am telling you today, because I didn't want people to know.

Either way, I had a good day.

I went out with my lovely girlfriend.

I got nice gifts.

I don't have a job or a car

So, yeah I am pretty much just complaining here.

I need a job. However I have no real job experience. To boot, I don't have a car. Oh and I can't drive. I have a permit, but I need more practice.

I need money to get driving lessons. I don't have money because I don't have a job. I don't have a job because I don't have a car. I can't drive anyway so even if I had a car I couldn't drive it.

Of course, because I don't have job and therefore no money, I have no ability to buy a car or if I had a car pay for insurance.

I don't know.

I need to find a genie and get three wishes.
1) I wish I knew how to drive excellently and had excellent skills on the road.
2) I wish I owned a car that had extremely high gas mileage, is totally comfortable, reasonably fast, and still large enough for 4 people, groceries and a spare tire.
3) I wish I had enough money to pay off all of my current expenses and any regular expenses for the next 10 years.

That would be very nice.

You know your school sucks when...

The registration server gets DOS attacks several times just because the student population of less than 6000 tries to register for classes for the next semester.

Is it too much to expect a school to have decent equipment.

I hate this place.

I have been attempting for the past 4+ hours straight to register for class. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten one class added to my schedule for Spring 2007.

I hate this place.

For all I know they've got a Pentium II/III Xeon running their registration server. Maybe only 256MB and a 4 GB Hard Drive. Of course, this is just my interpration based on their crappy service.

I hate this place, but really I don't. I just hate the hassle of registration. Of course, these stupid bastards did this to themselves. They thought, hmmm...lets add to our student population, but get rid of telereg, the telephone registration system. At the time it must have seemed like a smart idea and maybe it saved a lot of money, but let me tell you, it doesn't seem to be working now.

I mean I don't know since I don't have an active webserver, but what kind of minimal requirements do you need to have approx. 6000 users logged in concurrently into a secure session? I couldn't imagine it would be that much. Of course, what do I know.

I mean for God's sake, this school always boasts that it is part of the "UT System!" However, all I can say is that this school does NOT measure up to what I would consider even close to "UT Excellence." If such a thing can even exist. I can't stand it.

Please, if you attend UT Tyler, please respond to this blog entry and tell me what you think. Or better yet, tell the people who maintain Campus Connect at UT Tyler what you think. The email address is campus.connect@uttyler.edu. Feel free to include a reference to this blog entry if you want to. Thank you very much.

Hey Everybody

So a few things to talk about.

One, M$ released IE7 as a "fully working" browser just yesterday. You can download it if you have XP SP2, x64 or the Windows Server 2003 line.

Two, the fall semester is more or less half over. YAY!! Now time to really start working.

Three, I gave Chelsea her birthday present early. I couldn't help it. I got her this really nice easel. For those of you who, for some reason don't know, an easel is a wooden frame on legs for holding an artist’s work in progress, as taken from the Compact Oxford English Dictionary.

She in turn gave me my birthday present. I receieved a cool Relic wrist watch. Something I have wanted for a while now. We both needed gifts. I am happy and feel better. I hope it lasts.

Fourth, There will be another Whitson Log update soon, but due to complaints, apparently, I will only be directly linking to my page to view them, so you don't have to wait for the blog to load.

Thanks and have a good day. I need to get ready for my 8 AM class.

I plan on scanning the Whitson Logs.

My Damn Scanner Doesn't Want to Work

SO, I can't seem to scan. So I can't give you my Whitson Logs. I will attempt to get by this at a later point. Either way, just an update.
