Just made a phone call using my computer for freeeeee.

Funny, I remember doing such a thing years and years ago and it worked sorta okay despite the ridiculous plastering of ads everywhere.  Now you can do it through Google Talk and all you need is a Google Voice number.  The voice quality is amazing, too.  Better than Skype, better than cell phones, better than land lines.  I remember that being an issue with the earlier "free" calling services.

House key on left, garage key on right. Garage remote in my car. So it seems I have a house in Boardman now. :V

Look again.  I stole it.

But serious, grats.   Text me your address or something and I'll drive over there and egg it.

You throw eggs, and you will start a war. 

We WILL have means to retaliate.  Just you see, young man.

So, I seem to be getting ever so slightly better at Starcraft 2. I really want to get good at this game. I always decide on something like that and never follow through, never put the time and effort into actually trying to accomplish something, but maybe this will be different. I actually seem to be getting better, and it feels awesome.

I had to do a bit of memory shuffling with the two laptops that I have now (I'm buying my friend's Inspiron E1705 and...well, more on that when I feel like doing a comparison between the two laptops, which were built about a year apart from one another) and ultimately wound up with 1GB in my Inspiron 9300 and 2GB in the E1705.  Before I booted the 9300 (which is what I'm using now) I was worried that performance in Windows 7 would drop severely.

Man, it feels nice to be proven wrong.  This thing runs as good as it did with 2GB.  I don't really use this system for much other than web browsing, Office stuff, and playing music (i.e. normal people stuff) but still, I'm running it with the minimum memory requirements for the OS and it's still running great.  I still have plenty of RAM available (which means that SuperFetch has it allocated, but it will release the memory without swapping if needed since it's nothing more than prefetch cache), too.  I have about 333MB of RAM free with one tab open in Chrome and a Word 2007 document loaded (Chrome is using around 92MB and Word is using about 15MB).

Not sure if I'm even going to bother kicking this system back up to 2GB.  As much as I love love love this laptop, it's still five years old, has a single core processor, and a weak graphics chipset.  At least the E1705 is enough of a powerhouse to score 4.2 on the Windows Experience thingie, though it has its share of issues of varying severity (more on that when I feel like writing about it).

Good:

I got my full G today. Barely passed the test, but a pass is a pass.

Bad: I basically didn't sleep for more than about an hour last night because I'm sick :/

Is this overall Good y/n?

In contrast to my earlier gaming frustrations, I found a real gem in Chime.  Fun, addictive, relaxing.  A perfect way to cool down after playing two horrendous games.

I'm moving tomorrow

(same city, different apartments. no more dealing with heat that doesn't work, no hot water, drug dealers and loud fucks (both kinds), roaches, bitches who lose my rent checks, ignored maintenance requests, etc etc etc)

s'good.  And the place is within 5 minute walking distance to my work.

I got a call from my friend in jail and evidently he's doing rather well. He's still waiting to be sentenced because he has a lot of charges against him, but he's in a nice part of a nice prison evidently and he sounded like he was doing generally better (working out, obviously stopped doing drugs).

I think we're the only model parliament in North America that actually gets to sit in the actual legislative buildings

You know Canada is the only country in North America with a parliament...right?

Jail can help people out. I dunno what your friend's relationship with drugs was, but by the way you talk about it, it sounds like he may have had a problem, so it's good to hear that he's doing well.
