Rumble rumble rumble...

So I watched Obama the other night and saw the rebuttal as well. After what happened at Mt. St. Helens, how big a vacation spot Hawaii is, Super volcanoes (*Waves at Yellowstone*), and knowing how volcanoes have wiped out places in the past, I figure I'd submit a little neat thing I found on the USGS site.

Volcano Hazards Program is pretty slick. It uses Google Maps to show locations of volcanoes and has a neat little chart showing which ones are rumbling along.

I'm happy when politicians point out wasteful spending, I'm even more happier when they do something about it. Still some things when mentioned should be elaborated more on as to why it's wasteful. Especially when said things are used to help save lives and educate people.

So ends my rant for the day.

*Pinky to Lips* 1 million beer bottles!

It seems some monks took to collecting beer bottles since 1984, apparently they put them to good use and built a temple.

My god!!!

It's full of action figures!

You know it's going to be a good day when...

You walk in to work and sit down at your computer and you notice the little anti-virus icon is different from yesterday. Well on my campus we use a product called LanDesk to push software out to users. All well and good and apparently they switched anti-virus packages last night.

Now here's the problem, I right click on my recycle bin to empty it and suddenly the Symantec Anti-virus installer pops up instead of the recycle bin menu. Apparently from what I read out on Symantec's site their uninstaller is broken and from the looks of things on my computer, leaving left-overs when it should be cleaning up.

Right now I'm having a blast uninstalling Landesk AV (Because it broke while trying to remove Symantec) and get ready for a 10am meeting. FUN!

Update: I killed it! WITH FIRE!!! My PC is fixed now.

Little things...

Today is one of those days where I got a bunch of little things done at work. Since completing my sumer contract project and still doing testing (which is going really well); I now have time to go back and take care of a bunch of other little things that have been simmering.

So now I sit here looking over VB code to keep it fresh in my head for when that project picks up but next week is a meeting on the big upgrade happening soon. That will be fun because there's a bunch of custom work to be updated for the upgrade of a software package we use at work. This will be exciting and I've got my hair puller ready in case the code I find gets really fun. ;)

Nothing to say...

Other then that I love my job. I'm working on a summer contract project for my university so they can generate faculty contracts in Banner. Things are really going good, bugs are being squished left and right, and the code I setup with FormFusion is working awesome since I'm not using a regular Banner but Banner Web to talk to FormFusion.

Weirdest thing is I'm actually so happy with what I'm doing I almost don't want to leave work some nights. o.O
