God this song rocks…

Annnnyyyywayyy… I created a mirror of my telco site on my equally as good connected (if not better), but much faster machines at my apartment. I think I'm going to put a freeze on improvements in the data mining on my old site and just do the cool stuff here. Hell, I think I'll just do a redirect to here.

http://mainframe.timmins.net/telco/

This works a hell of alot faster because not only the webserver is faster, but the database is on a seperate server and it is faster too. Information on every prefix owned by a verizon company (all 22,000 + ) only takes 45 seconds on this server, as opposed to my webserver on the main site, which takes about 3-4 minutes at best.

Getting shit done, or trying to at least…

In the last few days I've got a storage locker, emptied out all the crap in my car and got an oil change – thereby increasing the miles per gallon probably tenfold.
Then I paid off my credit card, then I went and bought a cheap 19" tv with it to replace the aging set that my stepdad gave me about 5 years ago that requires you to tap on the tuner knob to work, and wasn't cable ready. Now I have a cheapie cable ready TV with remote (woohoo!) that actually works consistently. Was only $119, so I haven't violated my personal policy of not getting anything on the CC I can't pay for within 30 days. (My CC company allows me to log on to their website and enact a ACH funds transfer from my bank to pay my bill whenever I want, as often as I want. w00t!)

Anyway, I also fed R's fish, visited at work, and various other things.

I've been feeling like crap the last few days, somehow my blood sugar got way out of whack again, despite me cutting down on my sugar intake by at least 70%. Ugh. I've worked from bed the last 2 days now, and I'm telling myself that no matter how I feel today, I'm going to drag myself in to the office to finish some things before the week is over that I want to have done. I'll be damned if I let this overcome my life like it has before.

So anyway, how are you all?

Time for some nice quiet sleep. Peaceful sleep. More than 3 hours of sleep. That will make me happy, especially after doing the hike we did yesterday.

, if you get a lunch break, I can't make it, I'm way too tired. Sorry dude. ๐Ÿ™

I actually have a meaningful task to do at work tonight other than just wait for stuff to break! I'm so excited! :->

Anyone want a working handspring visor deluxe with a damaged screen, or a clear handspring visor cradle?
