I can’t say that I’m surprised, and I don’t believe that 95GB is THAT much when it comes to data storage, but I am surprised that 95GB has come in and out of my house as traffic in the past month.
This lovely little banner popped up overtop of my browser while I was reading today’s news and trying to upload some photos to Flickr:
“An important message about your Rogers Hi-Speed Internet Service. Our records show that your household has reached 100% of the 95 GB monthly usage allowance provided with your Rogers High-Speed Internet Extreme.”

My new office is clearly completely awesome. I can’t go in-depth about how great the setup is, or how awesome the wiring job is (it’s just amazing) because it would take three days and twelve pages to explain.
But here’s a brief video of me having fun, enjoying my new desk chair.
And here’s what our old Master Control now looks like. It’s even MORE ripped out at this point, but having worked there for over 3 years, I had to take a photo, no matter how cheesy:
… I bought skinny jeans. In fact, on the same day, I also bought high heels… and -the kicker- a pair of capris.
What the hell is WRONG with me! First it was socks and sandals, and now it’s “real” fashion! I think I might have a fever or brain tumor or something that’s causing me to do a one eighty.
To be fair, I had a gift certificate I’d been sitting on for two years, and had forgotten I still had it in my desk. I don’t know what posessed me to go buy clothes, but I’m glad I did, even if I can’t quite (yet) walk in the heels.
I could seriously do it. I could have absolutley no life, and just go to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. I would need to hire a laundry and grocery service, but I could do it.
In the past 5 days, I’ve worked 33 regular hours, plus 29 overtime hours. Today was only Tuesday.
I have a Grocery Gateway account, but I’ve never actually used it. I wonder if it works OK, or if it’s a pain in the ass. I can’t imagine what the produce would be like.
I took some photos of what Master Control looks like right now. We tore it apart. Now it’s a desk and 7 relatively empty server racks. There is still alot more ripping of cable to be done, but it’s much cleaner now than it was 2 days ago.
I’m going to get ready and then go to work. As of six am, we are going to be taking 6 television stations, and moving them clear across town, while keeping them live. And no, we did not buy (much) new equipment.
I still haven’t been to the new building, but hopefully I will today!
I’ve been drinking too much coffee over the past few days, and there’s been a nerve jumping in my knee all night. I don’t know if they’re related.
I did end up finding my phone from when I lost it a few weeks ago. It had been in my car’s glovebox. How ridiculous is that?
When I got into my car one night, I threw it in the glovebox along with my iPod, and when I got out of the car, I guess I only grabbed the iPod. I’m not a total moron though, I had checked to see if it was there, but it had slid underneath the owner’s manual, so until I rounded a big corner one day, it stayed stuck there. At the office one day, I opened the glovebox to either connect or disconnect my music, and BAM! there was my phone.
Aujourd’ today I went to work. It was very tiring. J’ was with work for a long time. Danielle is here and it does not carry its red shoes aujourd’ today. J’ like its red shoes.
If I had a life, I’m sure that I’d be missing out on it. I’ve been working so much lately, that I managed to leave the house today wearing Birkenstocks and wool socks.
It’s hardly haute couture, but it’s comfy. And that’s how I’m justifying it.
He’s been accused of various forms of blood-doping, and has been tested to see that he is a bit of a mutant, in that he naturally doesn’t build up much lactic acid in his body. After winning the tour 7 times in a row, he retired after his 2005 win.
This has been a good year… Randy Couture (but that wasn’t a surprise), Oscar de La Hoya (not a surprise either), and now, completely out of the blue, LANCE!
Woo!
I can remember watching this live in 2003. Beloki fell, and with no where else to go, Lance just booted across the dirt. I honestly can remember yelling at the tv, going “what!!! what!!! he can’t do that can he! can he!???? oh, shit, he just DID THAT!”
Lance Armstrong will end his retirement and hopes to compete in the 2009 Tour de France, according to a cycling journal report.
The 36-year-old seven-time Tour de France champion will compete in five road races with the Astana team in 2009, the cycling journal VeloNews reported on its Web site on Monday, citing anonymous sources.
Armstrong’s manager Mark Higgins did not immediately respond to a voice mail left by The Associated Press.
The move would reunite Armstrong with Johan Bruyneel, now the team director for Astana.
VeloNews reported Armstrong also will compete in the Tour of California, Paris-Nice, the Tour de Georgia and the Dauphine-Libere.
The Astana team, however, was not allowed to compete in this year’s Tour after Alexandre Vinokourov was kicked out of the 2007 Tour for testing positive and the team quit the race.
VeloNews, which said Vanity Fair will publish an extensive article detailing Armstrong’s comeback, said the cyclist will race for no salary or bonuses and post his internally tested blood work online.
