Final Exams

One of my co-workers (Chris) and I get along really well. We like to talk about all manner of things and throw little posits and the like back and forth. We were talking about a game that I’m playing (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) and there is a section where it turns out that one of the characters is taken over by a demon. So that leads us to discussions of Exorcisms and the like, and Chris remarks that that kind of knowledge isn’t really available anymore, in that you can’t just take a class in Demonology. I make the point that it’s likely that Seminarians would take something similar and study exorcisim rituals, or at least that’s a feasible possibility. Chris did however bring up the point that there would be a horrible time at the final exam. And you thought that your essay questions were tough.

Don’t Blow A Fuse.

Kelly told me that a few days ago when she was plugging or unplugging the cell phone charger into the car, it wouldn’t work, and at approximately the same time, the radio stopped working. So this weekend I looked up the fuse for the radio and pulled it. It was fine. So I just assumed that it was beyond me and told her to call the dealership and get it in there. Then last night, I thought “Wait, what IF! There was another fuse for the Rear Entertainment System? And that one was blown? So I get out of the van (I was waiting for Kelly at the store), and pop open the hood, pull the fuse and… Nothing. It’s fine.

THEN I get the brilliant Idea to find out if there’s a different fuse for the power/accessory thing. There is. It’s blown. So I grab me a quarter and jam it into that slot and BOOM! We’re good as gold. DVD player, radio, everything is back in action.

I’m just like MacGyver, baby!

More stuff

I finally finished PoP:The Warrior Within this week. I got it last year for christmas, and worked my way through it till about 2/3, then got distracted. This year I got Shadow Hearts: Covenant (last year’s hot game), and I need to do the first one first, but I swore I wasn’t going to move to a new RPG till I finished PoP. I really like the game engine of PoP, the motion dynamics are so fluid, they’re amazing.

I’m also going to resolve a few things: I’d like to take my laptop with me more often. I have been not doing that and sometimes I’ll be wanting to blog and not able to, so I’d like to eliminate that as an excuse. I also want to take my journal with me and try using that more too. OK, I guess that’s one resolution.

Lastly, I’d like to write an open source blog client – I like some of the ones that are out there, but they’re either for pay or platform specific. If there was already a partially done java client, I’d take it and run, or maybe work on my own from scratch. There’s many the time that I’ve wanted one.

Also Lastly: I was thinking the other day as I drove down the road about the little lights that are in the lane dividers, the reflective bumps. When I was back in Canuckistani some time ago, I noticed a strange anomaly: that on the roads and highways there, they are embedded into the concrete – in a little rut type dealio. I didn’t think anything of it until I realized that it was done with a purpose, instead of randomly (as I assume most things are). Anyways, gotta run. Peace Out, G.
