Guard Dog Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) We made our first target of having all the Dyer High Schools wi-fi equipped by the end of the school year. We'll have the whole county done by the start of the fall term. The staff all seems to be very happy with the throughput. The school districts in the big population centers all have that already, now the rural counties are catching up. That is pretty cool, especially since it keeps us employed!

Walsingham Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I am watching the anti-capitalist protesters in London. They are very militant and truculent, I'm glad they don't have any real say in the economic policy decisions of countries. Most Londoners I know treat them as a complete joke. Ever since they picketed the damn cathedral. They just couldn't be bothered to protest outside the banks. Plus doing so for the length of time they chose makes no statement beyond 'look at us, we have literally nothing better to do.' Walsie once again you and I find common ground in people that irritate us immensely What gets me the most is when they are asked questions similar to " so what do you suggest we do to remove Capitalism" They cannot give you a viable alternative or a suggestion that could be realistically sustainable in anyway. So there demands are just popular rhetoric It all comes down to how many animals you've eaten, and how cooked they were. Which reminds me, a friend and I were having a spot contest to name the scariest animal. I chose a relative of the polar bear - the ebola bear. Hardest animal conservationist TV ad ever.

LadyCrimson Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Hubs fairly new Weller soldering iron (which he still doesn't like as much as the 70's Weller that broke...) apparently can reach 9000 degrees! .... to which hubs muttered cursing of this odd behavior as he hastily turned it off was "I think it #@!#@ broke already." Not much going on around here outside of that. I've been out of the house a lot recently, however...mostly family stuff. Then I come home and snooze. “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Going to an open air rock festival for three days, with camping, drinking, partying and stuff. Rammstein, Him, K0rn and a few other will be playing. 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Rosbjerg Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Spend the day in Christania.. Never been a fan of that place, probably never will. Also trying to plan my Christmas holiday - I've decided to travel in December and I want to go somewhere peaceful .. Can't decide if I want to go to a quiet Spanish mountain village, a greek island or maybe some Slavic country.. Fortune favors the bald.

Tale Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Found out I arranged the wrong return flight for my boss next week. And by "wrong" I mean "the week after next." And I did this on Tuesday, so it's too late for a cancellation. Doing a change would actually cost more than doing a new reservation just for the return.

Guard Dog Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I got my first electric bill since installing the solar panels. Based on past history I'm estimating they are saving me a little more than $60 a month. No too shabby. With Cold Creek right next to my house and a stream that feeds it actually on my property if I could figure out how to make a water turned turbine I could tell MPO to piss off for good! On another note I picked two 1 gal buckets worth of strawberries and a hamper full of summer squash from my garden today. It might be my imagination but I think it tastes better from the stuff that comes from Kroger. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Raithe Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 The random playlists suddenly threw up the "Classic Rock Love Songs" selection... Nazareth, Deep Purple, Whitensake, Billy Idol, Roxette, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Meatloaf, Mr Mister and the assorted others.. Man, that just suddenly threw me into nostalgia and remembered break-ups from the far past. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
