For those of you that don’t know who the Brobdingnagian Bards they are a celtic style group out of TX. They have a fun song Jedi Drinking Test it is funny as all get out. But some one took the song and added video from the 3 Star War movies it is really funny.
For the last few days I have been sick. I ended up having to take Thursday and Friday off. I am starting to feel a lot better, I did spend most of the day resting. And tomorrow after church I will probably will come back and just rest, and by Monday I should be 100% (or darn near it) so I can get back to work.
I loved last nights sought park, in fact the primes of the south park is the exact reason I HATE online games and don’t play them. You know there is always that one person with no life that plays all the time, and gets some strange sadistic pleasure of killing new players. I like playing networked games, but I rather play with friends because they might be at the same level of ability as you and that makes the game fun, or they might be better then you but for them it no fun to just be able to kill kill kill, they will teach you and try to bring you up to their level so that it is fun for them (and you). The problem is that on the online games you will run into the people that have no friends, and think it is great fun to hurt others (oh that might be why they have no friends.)
Of the 2100 pictures I took at the Ohio Linux Fest, I only put 170, if you want to see the rest I would be willing burn the jpg’s to a DVD and send it off to you, if you want them, contact me and I will be willing to work out how to get a DVD to you if you are willing to cover the cost of the blank DVD and postage.
I have started to look at music for Christmas. I know of a group from my church that does some singing one day in December. Last year someone said that she would like some music. Well I have gotten the sheet with the songs on them. I am going to see if I can get the sheet music to some of the, and see if I can get practice on them, to see if I can get ok on them with the Tin Whistle.
I also had a friend from church over, he and I went over the list of 40 songs and decided which ones would be best Voice only, with the Tin Whistle, with a Piano (he can play the Piano), or with both (Whistle and Piano)
Now I have to start practicing the songs I have the music to, and see if I can get the sheet music in the key of D or G for the songs I don’t have and start to practice them.
It took us 2 hours to just go though them. and now we have still a bit more work to do.
At the beginning of the biking season I said I would like to see if I could reach 1000 miles this year. Well as of last Wednesday (yes I wanted to put this up, I have been very busy as of late) not only did I reach that goal but I also started going over that goal, I wonder how far I will get to this year, and then maybe I can add a couple hundred miles to that for next years goal.
This is a picture I got with me sitting next to Maddog. He was there to give the opening speech and the closing Key Note speech. I did not get to talk to him much, but the little I did get to, he seemed to be a nice guy.
Some of the pictures I took at this years Ohio Linux Fest have been placed on my photo section, just click on the link. I only put 178 of the 2134 pictures I took up. I hope you all enjoy.
I am still downloading the pictures I took this weekend to my computer. I took over 2000 pictures. I have to go though them and see which ones are worth keeping, which ones that need to be touched up (adjustment of light) I will post them as soon as I can. I have some other things I want to post on and I will get to them later.
I am now at the Ohio Linux Fest. I have started to take some pictures, they will be uploaded some time on Sunday night. And from the sound from my HT sounds like there is another ham here already. So I am going to see if I can find him/her.
I am going to be going to the Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus Ohio this weekend, which includes Sunday morning. I am hoping I can find some very important information (well to me) I would still like to make a church service this week, so if any one knows of a church in Columbus Ohio that meets the following criteria I would love to hear about it.
Other things that would be a great plus for me (but are not needed, just preferred)
I hate it when I go to a web site, and one of the stupid ads start to make noise, it is the most annoying thing on the web at this time. But today I was over at cnet, as I we reading my eye got distracted to one of those stupid ads, but this time there was something different, at the bottom of it, it had text to “click here to play this ad with sound.” For that aI have to give cnet a thumbs up for not having audio on the ads with out asking the users.
As the temperatures are going down I don’t think I want to wear shorts in the morning. So I put on my jeans, but that was a big mistake I did not know it really till the ride home, but since there was no room in the leg, the bike ride home was not comfortable, as I tried to bike up a simple hill, the jeans did not give room for my legs, and it fell like something was going to give, ether the legs to the jeans or my leg mussels, it was not pleasant. I ended up walking my bike up Neville St. I need to get some new jeans soon since I don’t have any that my legs can fit into.
I have removed some photos from my photo section in preparation for new pictures, I will be posting pictures from the Ohio LInuxfest this year. Also for pictures from this years up coming Pittsburgh Area Reformation Celebration (October 29, 2006 at 3:00pm at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sharpsburg)
Today I was looking in the Caliban book store on Craig St. I was looking though the religion section and I find the book “Martin Luther’s Basic Theological writings” for only $12. What a sweet deal.
I was talking to a ham friend of mine about the new domain I have and said I am thinking of doing a website on the domain along with the email. And he said since it will be a ham radio website, I have to do it in 90’s style since a lot of personal[…]
Today I found out about the .radio TLD. I also found out that while it normally 200+EUR ham radio operators are given a discounted price of 25EUR (about 30USD) a year, and I thought it would be nice to have my call sign as a domain. so I registered kb3hcg.radio right now I have it[…]
