Brian’s Weblog

Well its official. Alexis Systems is out of business, I have been able to work on a couple of computers on the side to keep things moving in the right direction till I can find full time employment. SO if you live around the Salina area and in need of a computer tech, give me a call. Good news is one place where I am their “computer guy”, is looking to hire a truck driver, so I have a little bit of a “inside track” there, but only time will tell. I had a very informal interview today.

Well, looks like things aren’t going to well at work. It kinda looks like we might be shutting the doors as of the 6th of next month. Boss owes some money to the state and the state isn’t happy with the amount of money they can receive per month, and want to increase it to an amount we can not pay. Always heard something is better then nothing, but the state doesn’t think so. Well, things are getting interesting and already starting looking for another job.

Well, my pic gallery is coming along. I have decided to go back to the old style which is up and viewable now, but not attached to the links on the front page or weblog page. I will connect the links when I have the layout right and more pics on there then just two. ANYWAY, Kendra I have tried to call you again. No answer like normal. AND Nelli, get back over here, I miss talking to you. I hope your feeling better.

Well, I hate my current picture gallery. Today I think I am going to go back to the old style that I had because I am not adding any new to the one I hate. Maybe that will help me take more pics if I actually had some place to put them. I got my digital camera back but I am not taking pictures. I used to love taking pics, so, l will get on it and see if I can get more new ones up and put up some of my old good ones.

Where is my Deutsch Löwenzahn?

I think I know why I am not online much anymore. I had to think about it. I have a desktop and laptop that are sort of a dream to use. Both amazingly fast and set just how I like them. But I am just not on the computer much. It has to be that I work on them all day. Pretty much I had 5 going at the same time, all day long, when one was done, one more went up. When I get home, I just watch TV. My life still isn’t going how I planned or hoped, but all is okay. Bills are getting paid, and I am getting by. I am going to try to get on more. But I think when I stop working at the computer repair shop, my time online will grow here at home. Anyway, just a thought.

I am here, I am alive and doing okay. Not cracking the secret to life or creating any atoms, but, not doing bad. SO, will be back soon.

Well, not much going on yet. Been playing with the MacBook quite a bit lately. I have Windows 7 Ultimate running on it now. So when I start I can choose to use the Mac operating system, or start up into Windows 7. Mac actually wrote all the drivers needed to get everything to work in Microsoft land so it was pretty quick and painless. Something interesting is that Windows 7 is faster on a MacBook then Mac’s OS X Snow Leopard. Well at least its interesting to me. Spring just got here, hoping some truck driving jobs will open up so I can make decent money again. Anyway, this job is getting me by and I do like it. Anyway, that’s about it for now.

Well, site went down for a while today, obviously its back up already. I do want to keep up on it, I do have plans to write more and fix the picture gallery. I KNOW I keep admitting I should write more but hopefully if I keep saying it I will start believing it. I am still working for the comp repair shop. I do get some perks, like I got a laptop for about 4 hours of “home service call”, lady decided not to repair a near new laptop and I traded her data backup and going out to her house and setting up her new laptop, set up the network, set up the printer, and transfer her data back. It was a nice laptop with all the bells and whistles, a month after getting that one. I get a call at the shop from another lady who purchased a new MacBook and doesn’t know how to run it. Its in perfect condition but they don’t know how, or don’t want to learn how to run it. So strait trade for my laptop. Mine was the only one at the shop that could qualify for it. Anyway, so I am writing this post from my MacBook. So while the pay isn’t the best, I do get some perks. Anyway, write more later.

Well, I have been working more hours at the computer repair shop. I am getting much better at it. There is a lot to remember and somedays my brian is a steel trap, others a closed box. BUT, boss is happy I guess, he is having me work more hours. Anyway, thanks for stopping by.
