A real-time account of life among the Earthlings…

Back on Windows…

by Slack, on March 29th, 2008

I’ve posted this how many times before? So, I will spare the details. The only new revelation is I know why people love Vista. Unfortunately, I also know why people hate it…

So, yeah. Here I am back on the Darkside… Anyone want to start a poll for how long it will take me to get fed up and switch back to Linux? ;)

Up Late… Sleeping on Couch… (Result B)

by Slack, on March 26th, 2008

So, I finally got to bed shortly after I wrote the article last night, and then the coffee maker went off, and everyone woke up. I got no sleep. LOL. The good news is I’m about to go to bed now. On time… And I’m actually tired. :)

Yay for me, and to all a good night! :-D

Inside Cardiac Arrest

by Slack, on March 26th, 2008

Tonight’s sponsor is about Heart Attack Risk. The website is a wonderful resource about the risks factors and signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. It’s scary to think that with all the modern advances we have in today’s world, it often just boils down to a bit of education to recognize the signs and get to a hospital in time to receive the assistance. Moreover, many of the common diseases we encounter are preventable with the right diet, and lifestyle. So, I’m glad to spread the buzz on this website and do a small part to keep us all informed.

Up Late… Sleeping on Couch…

by Slack, on March 26th, 2008

InsomniaIf you know me well, you know on my planet the day is 36 hours long. Thus creating an optimal sleep cycle of 10 hours and then 26 hours of work, play, and so forth. Well, here on fucking Earth, your day is 24 hours long, thus creating a gradually progressing state of sleeplessness and insanity. At least for me.

As you also know recent events have found me jobless for the first time in 11 or so years (you can barely count that brief stint after TPM). So, without much obligation to live by the 24 hour clock, I’ve fallen into my normal and natural schedule. I feel rested and great. My family is annoyed and hating me, however (sorry). Now with another job on the horizon, it is time to get back on the oh so wonderful 24 hour schedule and try blending in with you Earthlings again.
