My Life

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 07:41:18 GMT

*Bark!*

I haven't posted in a long time. Woof. Umm. I've quit my job since I last posted, but after being out of work for a few months, I started a 4-1/2 month contract, doing some pretty cool work, but I need to start hunting down a new job for when the contract is over. That's what sucks about being a consultant is the gaps between work. *sigh*

I've also become addicted to World Of Warcraft recently, I've got a 60 Troll Priest on Shadowsong. I have my Devout set... I'm working on piecing something together better then that. My life has been going to work and playing WoW pretty much, that's about it. Now this pup needs to get to bed... it's 1:40am now.

It's late...

Sun, 24 Apr 2005 09:56:55 GMT

Bark! I just read Talz's LJ entry, so I suddenly felt like writing an entry of my own. I'm lieing on my bed, kicking back, taking a break from my new job. While it's nice to have a job, it sucks to not have one you're interested in as a programmer. I don't feel like what I'm doing now is going to make me a better programmer without a lot of effort on my part. *grumble*

On a different note, I did a sketch of a canine today after seeing an image on VCL, I said, 'I need to draw this!' http://orcas.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/SpicyLemur/huskyplease.JPG

There's a bunch of things that I think are wrong about it, but I liked the overall image that one had. I drew a freehand sketch with pencil, and it turned out a lot better then I expected. It's the first thing I've draw that doesn't look like a total piece of junk! It's only as bad as the worst of furry art on the net... I've moved up a notch! *whimper* Now I will have to learn how to color, in addition to fixing my pencil drawing, and I haven't even started learning how to drawn anthro.. I'm sticking with plain feral right now.

But I'm happy I don't have a scanner, so I have a good excuse not to show it to anyone. It's just a start of a good way for a dog to kill time.

Last day of Furcon '05

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 07:22:22 GMT

I'm sitting here on sunday of Furcon, hanging out with people while I wait for my 6:30am flight monday (7 hours from now) And I'm going to stay up all night till then. I've met several intresting people, such as Razor, who is letting me post from his computer. This has been a diffrent FC to me then last year, this seems less wierd then last year. I think I'm going to head to the dance, and hang out there for a while, then go to the art room after that closes, and finally get a 5:30 ride to the airport :)

I hope everyone else is having a good time this weekend.

Flying

Thu, 08 Jul 2004 14:35:08 GMT

Ok, now I'm at it again. I'm sitting at gate A34 of Denver International Airport, just kinda sitting and chillling out. I have about a 3 hour break between my flight from Austin to here, and from here to Phildephia, so I figured I'd sit and write a entry from another intresting location. This is kinda annoying to write from because they charged me $10 for internet access. Geez, I only need it for 2 hours or so.

Well onto my flight so far. I Was supposed to be meeting Talz at the airport, and we were going to take the same flight. I get there, I get to the gate, and I don't see Talz. I sit and wait for her, but no sign. Finally when I'm on the plane, about 15 mins before takeoff, Talz calls me on my cell phone. She's at the checkin desk, and it turns out that her order got messed up, and she got tickets for the wrong day, so now I'm sitting here without Talz. :(

So this hasn't been a great start to the trip, but I'm hoping it will get better. I rode on Fronteer Airlines, and the tail of each plane is decorated with a animal. I rode the Lynx from Austin to Denver, but I don't know what I'll be taking the rest of the way.

Cell Phone

Fri, 21 May 2004 22:57:03 GMT

Well I'm standing here inside Pinky's wireless, stealing one of their compouter sto write a LJ entry. I should have a cell phone in a few mins now. As I was getting it they said that I have to put down a $400 deposit to get it *growl* and I won't get the deposit back till the end of the two year contrat. Well at least I have a cell phone now, but my cell phone doesn't come with any normal rings, it only comes with these complex songs. All I ask for is a simple beep. Well I'm about to go out to eat with Talz, so I'll hopefully post a bit later.

Kunnis

PS (Yes I wrote this and posted it from inside the Cell phone store)

Well I haven't written in a few days, so I figured I'd put something in. I got a 4 hour nap earlier today, so I'm up late, and I'm not able to sleep, but I need some more sleep or I won't be able to function tomorrow. I have another round of dental work that I have to get done tomorrow (might I again recommend that you to brush your teeth recommend). I got a chance to go out to Olive Garden with my mom tonight, and had their 3 meat ravioli, yum!

On the work front I'm making progress with my first task, I've almost got it completed, but it's going to be mostly a big battle of learning how to do what I need to do. Today I spent like 6 hours reading documentation, and like an hour and a half actually doing programming (most of which was reading the docs again, then writing code that matched the docs I just read). BLAHHHHHH

On the Furc programming front I've officially finished the programming for the Squirrels, I think. I've got the editor done, the server done, and the client done... Oh wait, I've missed one.. the DS, if a player is a Squirrel *attacks that*

I hope I get a good nights sleep, I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow.

Felorin's spa...

Sat, 01 May 2004 02:48:13 GMT

Ahh, the good life, I'm currently lounging in felorin's spa, and it's nice and toasty, enjoying the warmth. There are some definate advantages to being his programming puppy... *Kunnis lays his head down on the side of the spa and murrs softly.* And I'm connected to the internet through Felorin's wireless network, Yeah!

This is definatly starting to make up for having a crummy day because I've been spending most of it at the dentist's office. I've had to have 2 onlays done, and also a cleaning. I've spent a total of 3 hours at the dentist's today, and it's warn me out. I still have to go get some fillings done too, and have to get the onlays seated, so that another 2 trips to the dentist. Let me tell ya, the prospect of that doesn't seem fun. And by the way, I reccomend brushing your teeth regurally, and flossing.

*Hops into the pool to cool down, brb... 20 mins later*

Well there's also good news about my job, I did what's known as a code review yesterday, where by boss looks at my work, and tells me what he thinks of it. That went pretty well, and he spoke of long term plans on what I'm going to be doing with that code, so that makes me feel a little more secure about my job. I then got to speak with him today, and he said that I'll have a job, even if they stop doing my project, and he thinks I'm doing really well on that I've been working on. I feel like I'm a lot more likely to keep my job now, YEAH!

I'm off to work on the client update.

Third Entry

Thu, 29 Apr 2004 02:05:09 GMT

Well I'm home from work after taking a quick jog around the block.

When I started where I work, there were 2 other people working there, and there was me. I was just starting at the company, and I had to learn the programming language that they were using, and I had to learn all about what they were writing. It was easy when I started programming on furc, because I knew a lot about furc, and how it worked. When I started this job, I didn't know what they were doing, and the explanation of just the major thing they're doing is 150 pages, and there's another 50 or so extra pages of stuff I have to learn on top of that, plus the programming language, and the format the data is stored in, and how to access that data using the programming. It's a lot for me to learn.

Shortly after I started working there, they had two people from inside the company move to that project and start working on it. Last week, only a week after I started, my boss who's cordinating our group said he was leaving, and he was one of the two people that knew what was going. Now the other person that knew what was going on just said he was leaving in two weeks. So now it leaves the project with just me, and my lack of experience. I'm not quite sure how stable my job is going to be. *sigh*

Fortunately, I do have money saved up, and if I do loose my job, I'll have a much better resume, but I would like to continue my job as long as possible, only working somewhere for 1 month doesn't say much, but my future at that company doesn't look that good. On the other hand, I do feel like I'm doing well at my job, and I'm finally starting to learn what I need to know to do my job.

*humm, this took me an hour and 30 mins to write... intresting*

At work

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 18:01:01 GMT

Ok, I'm not at my job, and here I'm programing in a language I'm still learning, so it's a bit of a task, and I need a short break, so I though this might be interesting.

I got to work late today because I overslept(see earlier entry). As I said Wyn, I need a full 8 hours of sleep too, so I'm blaming the fact that I'm late on that. So I'm sitting here all alone at lunchtime, trying to make up for lost time, and I'm making a fair bit of progress. I'm also sitting here wondering about getting a new car, my old car isn't reliable anymore, and I'm wondering not if, but when it's going to fail on me. I'm starting to build up money to get a new car, but I've had a few large bills that are setting my plans back. I've gota have $1500 in dental work done, and that's with the insurance taking $1000 off. *sigh*

Here's just a thought about my last two LJ entries, I'm thinking this provides more of an opportunity for me to speak to myself then anything else, so if you're not enjoying reading this, that's fine with me, find something entertaining to read, I don't care. Now back to my rambling.

So that's set my plans for a car back a month or so at least. I hope my current vehicle holds out on me for another month or three, so I can afford to get me a real car, and have time to find one.

Kunnis

PS Yes this was an intresting break from my normal routine.

First Entry

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 07:36:33 GMT

Ok, so I'm now jumping on the LJ bandwagon, to see what it's all about. So I hereby submit my first entry, entitled "First Entry" I'm rather tired at the moment, so I'm rambling on a bit. I've been surfing the web, while staying up late, even though I know I need to be up early tommrow.

I just realized my alarm clock is set wrong, hold on a moment... There, fixed. now back to my 2:30am rant.

I've always wondered why I stay up late, even when I know I need to go to work early the next day (only 5-1/2 hours till my alarm clock goes off) and I know that if I don't get plenty of sleep, I'll be tired, and have trouble the next day. This is a thought I should ponder.

I've been thinking a bit, and I feel that I'm neglecting my body, and not getting enough excersize. I'm not out of shape, my blood pressure is fine, but I'm not taking care of myself, and as I grow older, I'm going to have problems. That's another point I should think about. I'm making a small commit now in this public? forum to go out and jog around my block every day. It's not a big change, but every little bit helps.
