So Justin has left for Japan, so I am free to run around the house naked.  I’m kind of jealous, the only time I’ve been out of the country was seeing Niagra falls from the Canadian side, which isn’t much of a difference.  I’m sure he’s going to have fun, and hope he gets some nice pictures.  As for me, I am trying to organize the house a bit, work, and hang out.  I now have my computer setup so I should be able to work on things now instead of watch the endless amount of movies that Cox has provided me with.  One thing I must share with everyone is the fonzi technique for fixing computers.  I have never tried it before because, quite frankly, it shouldn’t work.  My boss and I were working late on our Exchange conversion and we had a machine that randomly didn’t want to boot.  I checked the connections in the case, and everything looked fine.  He decides to give it a little hit on the side with his hand (like fonzi used to do for the lockers or jukebox, something like that) and magically it worked.  Now I am not saying that this is the best way to fix a computer, nor would I recommend it.  But having fixed and worked on computers for quite awhile, I must say that is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.  I am done with my random rant.  I will post with something with a little more substance next time.  Have a good weekend.

Just to share a tid bit of information with everyone, I have been monitoring stats with google analytics, which is awesome, but it has informed me that a few people that have wander onto my site have been looking for other things. I’ve had a few people who have searched for “bad boys + bathroom or boys + bathroom” and have somehow ventured onto my site. For those of you that mean to come to my site, thanks for coming. For those that are looking for other things, thanks for the laugh.

The fan in my bedroom was making a strange noise because it was not anchored correctly in the ceiling. Now, while I am able to fix computers with ease, hardware, software, configuration problems, etc., I am dumbfounded when it comes to cars, basic maintenance on house stuff, etc. This doesn’t bother me, but astonishes others who say, “You can build a server, build a computer, fix any problem, etc. but you can’t change you own oil?” Now I may be able to figure out how to change my own oil, but the fact is that I would rather ask someone else to fix the problem so that I do not electrocute myself or just plain cause more problems. But yesterday for some reason, I took it upon myself to fix the fan in my room. I had someone that was going to fix it, but decided that I should just get it done if I could. So I took off the blades, the bulbs and covers, unscrewed some other parts, and put a screw into the top to secure it. After putting it together I was amazed that it actually worked, and it worked quitely, the way it was supposed to be. I felt great pride in my small accomplishment unlike all of the times I’ve fixed someone’s computer or email or anything like that which seems to come naturally to me. It’s funny how something as simple as fixing that can give you a confidence boost. I’m curious, though, does anyone have areas such as home maintenance, etc. that makes them feel better when they complete a small task?
