Today I got my bonus! Now I'm off to pay some credit card bills.

It looks like the high school kids that ran GX Hosting failed to graduate! No wonder their service went downhill.

Eitel used to be with them, but changed hosts after a month or so because his site was down for quite a bit. Why he received the email is beyond me.

weird referral of the day: testicle+pictures

I'm back. And to top it all: I'm sick, hungry, cold, tired and did I say cold? But finally I get to sleep in my comfy bed.

Merry Christmas!
No snow here.. heh But so far I've received: a $125 JCPenney gift card from my parents, a watch and sunglasses from Eitel, a nice pair of Adidas tennis shoes from Eitel's mom, and I bought some jeans for myself. Not that much, but that's enough for me :)

Hope you all have a nice Christmas too. I will spend my day packing all my stuff and getting ready for the trip on Tuesday. Then my parents and some of their friends will come over to eat at Restaurant Puerto Esmeralda, a seafood restaurant owned by Eitel's parents.

Right now it's 73 degrees here in PR.. while it's -5 degrees back home in Michigan. I just hope that the cold that just reappeared doesn't get any worse when I get back home on Tuesday. And I really hope that I can leave the airport. My car is probaby buried on the snow at the airport in Lansing.

I don't know what's worse, the shopping crowds or the traffic to get in/out of the malls. If I have to go to the mall one more time I'm going to kill myself.

I finally have some time to blog. Driving between my house and Eitel's house is no fun. Our trip was uneventful, even the drive to Lansing while it was snowing went by without a hitch. Ever since I got here it has been raining every single day. It rains real hard for 15-30 minutes then it stops and the sun comes out, meaning that it gets really humid. Besides that, everything else looks okay. The road signs look better, there is alot of road construction going on and the airport still sucks when it comes to handling your luggage. I had to wait 90 minutes for my luggage. ugh

My family is okay. My brother just got on a motorcycle accident yesterday. His friend came over to show his bike (a motorcross one) and he decided to give it a try. He really didn't know how to handle that bike all that well, so I guess he lost control after making an u-turn and crashed somewhere in between the light pole and this palm tree. We had to take him to the hospital and all; no fractures or permanent damage, he is just all banged up. It could've been worse but he got lucky. He spent almost 12 hours on the hospital while they did all the x-ray, blood tests, yada yada yada. Hospitals here are just the worst place to go to when your sick. Even the ambulances suck. After waiting for an hour for a stinking ambulance to show up my dad called a private one who charged him $105 for the trip.

I still have to do some shopping and go visit my granma down in Guayama (75 min drive), and maybe I will get to see some of my friends (well, the ones that will return my calls, it looks like nobody's home). Well, that's it for now, gotta go and get some sleep so I can get up early tomorrow for the shopping spree.

Our flight leaves at 6am from Lansing, but since it's snowing it looks like we have to leave around 2am. Usually the drive is around 75 minutes but knowing how they don't plow the roads around here, I'm estimating that it might takes us 3 hours to get there. I hate winter storms and I hate even more the non-existant plowing crews here in Michigan.

So, blogging will be sporadic for the next couple of days, because frankly, on a 80 degree weather, I won't be spending that much time on the pc.

My alma mater, Penn State is ranked #12 in the America's Most Wired Colleges according to Yahoo. And thinking that back in 1994 the only way you could get on the internet was on the row of Macs sitting on the corner of this room. I remembered using Gopher and a mainframe account to do email, and the PCs were running Windows 3.11

Here are some pictures from today's winter storm. And as if eight inches of snow weren't enough, we are supposed to get five more inches tomorrow. The roads in my apartment complex are still covered with snow. I might not be able to move my car tomorrow!

Opera 5.0 with ads was just released and it's free. Not bad at all.. moves much faster than Netscape 6. From what I can see, most of the pages look fine with Opera. If you create your pages adhering (sp?) to standards, you should be ok.

I wonder if this was their wedding present: bitting off the groom's testicle.

My boss' boss told us that we could go home at 2:30pm. Not bad eh? So it took me an hour and a half to get here, that includes a stop at the post office. All the accidents were cleared by the time I got home. But I wonder, where the hell are all those cleaning trucks? The roads are nasty, three to four inches of snow on them and not a single truck on site. Did they get the day off?

The weather people now say that we are going to get six to ten inches of snow (or is it four to six?). Either way driving is going to suck this afternoon. I will be getting out of here early. And to complicate my drive even more, I have to stop at the post office today.

After reading this article, I'm afraid to confess that I actually watched Saved by the Bell religiously every single day. Still, I can't believe that they released a soundtrack and a board game of the show. Now that I think about it, I should believe it, even 90210 had all those released.

Forecast for tomorrow:
Snow developing by Noon. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches
possible. Snow mixing with and possibly changing over to freezing
rain and sleet during the afternoon. Becoming breezy. Highs 27 to 32.
East wind 10 to 20 mph...Increasing to 15 to 25 mph.

Dammit, now I know what to expect on my drive home from work. Maybe I'll sneak out early to avoid the traffic on I-94.

Latest from RIAA, the U.S. Copyright office ruled that radio broadcasters are not exempt from licensing royalties when they simulcast their programs on the Internet. Does it means that now they have to pay the artist everytime they play their records both online and offline? And on their page it says that if you plan to broadcast your own radio station, you need to get a "performance license". Hum.. so all those people using Shoutcast to play songs are doing it illegally. Interesting stuff.
