Right now, I'm working on a quick project, that combines a few of my interests; steampunk, ebooks, and classic fiction. I've started work on creating an ebook of Hartmann the Anarchist - or Doom of the Great City. It was written in 1892 by Edward Douglas Fawcett, brother of the inspiration for the Lost World. The story tells the tale of a dastardly man who attacks London from airships. I am doing the work with Sigil, which I've compiled versions for Ubuntu, and Debian.[ add comment ] | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | related link |

Ok, things have been a bit crazy around here.All this week I've been going through certification for Adtran routers and switches. I'm ASP, ATSA, and getting ready to take the test for ATSP certification. If you want to know about setting up adtran products, I'm your man.
Saturday, was woken up to someone beating on the door, yelling "YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE". The entire garage was razed. Just rubble now. A few photos are up of the fire, from before the firefighters came, and after it was put out.
Right now, getting some money in. Finally getting the insurance settlement on my arm. Only took 4 and a half years. Also got the check from the kid's insurance company, from when I was rear ended. Taking that to get a new car. Also, thinking of getting an ebook reader. Sony PRS-505 and the Hanlin V3 (Bebook, Ezreader, etc) are my main two choices. The PRS700's screen looks like crap due to the touch panel added on, and some of the other choices just suck or are too expensive. I am also kinda considering a Kindle 2 and the Cool-er. Cool-er is linux based, but they've not released the GPL'ed portions of code they've used, which is very uncool. The Kindle is very linked in with Amazon, which makes me a little nervous (they've already gone in and deleted books from people's machines after they were purchased for various readers), plus I really don't need the wireless. Any thoughts?

Ok, after I posted the Trooper called me back, and gave me info on the other driver. He said he submitted the report, but it wasn't approved yet, which was why it wasnt in the system. Gotta love bureaucracy. Anyway, after that, I called their insurance company, let them know, and then they called me back and said they'll be sending out someone to look at my car.Feel much better about that now. It was one of the few things stressing me out, despite having an awesome weekend.
Went up with Anna to Meatstravaganza. While there hooked up with a few friends, and had a great time. Saw the Harry Potter Exhibition too, which was really cool. I should be posting some pictures soon.

Two weeks ago, I was rearended when I stopped at a stop light. The kid, who is 16 or 17, pushed me through the intersection. Immediately, he jumps out to cuss me out. When doing this, he locks himself out of his Jeep. Highway Patrol responds, but since he locked his wallet and everything in his car, they couldn't write down his info, and I didn't get it either. His mom comes, but without keys. I was told to leave, and call and get the info from Troop C. Next day his mom calls, accuses me of trying to defraud them by passing off old damage as what her son caused, and wants me to go to her bodyshop to see if the damage is new or old. I've not been able to go by there, because it isn't near me, and I just have been busy. When I am able to get by there, it is after hours, plus I am just not going to put my self out, taking off work or something, because they don't want to have it go on their insurance (She specifically said that they want to do it that way so it doesn't go on insurance.)As of now, the report isn't filed, I still do not have their information, and they've harassed me, and the kid drunk dialed me, insulting me and threatening to "smash my cock". My insurance knows about it, so my insurance will be going up, unless I can get their info, and file with their company. On top of it, my car is fucked up, with the unibody equivalent of a bent frame.

School's out for summer!For the summer, working full time, which will be nice, cause money is good.
Right now I am wearing a labcoat for work, because some big wigs are coming through, but other than that, nothing all that spectacular going on. Just prepping for Meatstravaganza.
