Give it a try people!
Keep track of your sleep and take notes of your sleeping habits!
Set a goal of how many hours of sleep you want to get daily.
YawnLog Beta It`s pretty cool.
My Profile on Yawnlog <-- My profile on YawnLog just made it public recently.
I've been trying to keep it updated on a regular basis so I can keep track of my sleep.
Remember, notes can help you keep track of how it is going!

Windows 7 64-bit!
Around noon today I finished installing Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop. Replacing the old Vista 64-bit.
Now to install Visual Studio and the rest of my programs back onto it.
Been out to the local lumbar store in my area and I am hoping to build a mini target-range in my backyard.
Got some targets from the local store. Wish my backyard was bigger / had a proper place to set up a free-range to target shoot and plink. I'd use the soccer field near my place but not too sure what the rules regarding using public (actually I think its private, hmm. ) for such things.It is nice in the open and if I set it up right should be rather safe from stray fire. Wide open area so people should be able to clearly see what I am doing
Anyways, time to head for sleep.
Catch you all later!

What the hell is Vanoc doing?
What on earth is VANOC doing?.
As some may have found out. I got pulled from my job position few days till the Olympic work schedules started. Four people were pulled from the location I was working at.
However, an interesting fact has struck me. One of my friends who didn't get hired previously, informed me that he was hired a few days after I was pulled. Since he was not hired orignally, he was not at the General training for the Radio, for information and others.Venue Training is already past and uniform and our ID pick-ups I assume for wherever he got assigned to (which he does not know yet either.) has passed.
They are pulling out people who know what to expect and probably planned things out to fit in the work scheudle. And here, VANOC is hiring people extremely late with nothing and sticking them in.
Someone tell me how that logically works?. I was somewhat okay with being pulled but knowing that people are be filled in from nothing to somewhere. (And still with nothing) is just frustrating.
Congratulations to him getting the job though. Not frustrated at him. We all need the pocket cash and hopefully he works out his "I was scheduled today?" situation.
Granted they are busy and all but not surprised as to why they are having problems right now.
They need to fix these problems. Hope those that got the positions and are not pulled randomly without reason either.

Game DRM with Internet connection
Alright so rant.
There are a lot of people who are just oblivious to the needs of NOT HAVING INTERNET.
Everybody assumes that just because you own a PC. You are always connected to the internet.
I just recently moved my computer downstairs to connect to the HDTV. And until we set up our access point downstairs. I do not have internet for it as it gets really slow and unstable due to the shielding in the basement.
GASP! I cannot play due to the requirement of internet connection in order to play.
Some people agree with the idea that laptops are constantly on the move so they do not have internet but then go on about how PC's are always connected. What if your internet service is down. A week ago, we had a giant windstorm and Shaw was out for a few hours; what if that was a few days.
Again, some other problems will be LAN parties, (for those that are unfamiliar with the term. It is where people bring their computers to someplace and play games locally.) What if it happens to be a true LAN with just a router that has no internet connected between the computers. You'd have problems.
Internet DRM is not the way to go. They will just have to bite and hope for the best of people to buy the games when they can. It doesn't help that companies like Activision plan on increasing video game prices.
I mean, I am sure plenty of you play MMO's. Which obviously are dependent on an internet connection and then anger spews when you lost internet connection due to some hiccup on the router.
*BAM* Disconnection. Good Game. Have a nice day.

B Building Lab Upgrades!
So apparently, over here at Langara our lower level computer labs in the B Building got new overhauls for hardware.
New Acer Keyboards.
A nice Samsung Sync Master 22.43" LCD Monitor.
Core 2 Duo E8400 (3.00Ghz) CPU installed with 3gbs of RAM.
Windows XP SP 3.
Quite impressive as the older ones were slower than this. At the moment they don't have monitor resolutions locked up so while most are stuck at the smaller resolution and don't know how to change it, got it to the maximum.
Although Firefox has not been configured yet for the internet which I find funny.
