A Week And Two Days

by

I have a week and 2 days to go until I move. Of course I am an adult and don’t need to count down to this sort of thing. It is really a week and a day if I don’t count today!!!

I didn’t get my monthly rail road ticket since I am moving. I just bought a weekly. They are more expensive per ride than a monthly. Thankfully I am only getting a weekly this week and maybe a few daily’s next week. I already have my stand-alone unlimited ride metro card for the month.

Things in my old place are in limbo. I have needed to buy groceries for almost a month but I don’t want to buy anything for my new place. I have been ordering out so I can eat. My freezer is almost empty. My fridge is almost empty. I will run out of some critical items a bit early, so I may need to do a mini shopping.

June Photo Album Uploaded

by

I have uploaded my June camera phone pictures to my photo website. Not everything I photograph gets sent to my MOB, so this is everything I shot in June. I have been doing a monthly page since I got my Treo 600. Lots of apartment pictures and pieces of hardware this month. Also got our construction in kingston on “film”

The misc photos of computer hardware were taken because I am moving and I wanted photos of everything I might want to ebay. Turns out most of the stuff I have is not worth selling. The $20-50 a pop for the stuff is not worth the effort. I will just hold onto most of it since I may end up needing it in the future. Never know what I want to build.

Also some great shots of Morgan. She is so cute, but I am biased since I am her uncle.

HBH-65 Update

by

The headset is good so far. The phone I am using with it (Sony Ericsson T610) right now sucks. You don’t really know how good or bad a phone is until you use another one in the exact same places and get totally different results. This time I used the T610 on my trip up from NYC to Kingston. On the train my Treo normally backs out allot, so did my verizon phone. In the cab from the train station I am usually able to make calls, and sometimes have spotty service. With the T610 I had almost no coverage at all on the entire trip. In the cab from the train I had no signal until I was 5 minutes from the office, and our office has a T-Mobile tower in the same building complex.

The headset worked well when I had good cell signal. No complaints from people about voice quality. I probably wont use the headset that much since the phone sucks. I am sticking with my Treo 600 for now. It actually gets a signal. Palmone, please put bluetooth on the Treo!!!

The Holiday Weekend, A Recap

by

I did what I like to normally do on a holiday weekend. I did nothing special. It is melodramatic to some extent I guess. I just don’t like doing huge crazy plans that involve lots of travel on the holidays. Maybe it is because in 1999 & 2000 I was on a plane or somewhere other than home on every major holiday.

Saturday I did some sleeping. I was still out of whack from my Thursday to friday overnight. After I got that out of my system I went to the city to help Jayson and Gretchen move into their new place. Man I haven’t done manual labour like that in a while. I wont understand why I help all my friends move, but I pay for movers!!! I just dont want to deal I guess. The commute to the city wasn’t so bad. I drove to my sisters place and parked, then took the subway to the city. Jayson’s dad drove me back to my car later when we were done. I slept well that night.

Sunday I did some errands. I went to the mall, best buy, and staples. I got a new mouse to replace my logitech wireless optical that had the rubber surfaces coming off of it. I got a Microsoft wireless optical this time. it was cheap. I also got packing tape and some box’s for my move.

Rich and Amanda came over and I cooked up the last of my Fresh Direct steaks and some sword fish. We then hung out on my terrace and watched the fireworks. You could see everything all the way to manhattan. We were even able to see the display going off by the seaport. it was really nice.

Today I packed, and did some work. I had allot of issues that pilled up since I was in kingston thursday and friday. Now it is off to work tomorrow.
