Meh

Meh has become a key word over the last few months. My sister uses it to answer questions. Generally when she is being asked what her thoughts are on anything. It's pretty much how I feel today. Didn't really want to do anything today. Haven't done anything. I could have gotten the Flu Vaccine today, decided against it. A friend got it yesterday and has spent all day today sick, not into being sick even if it is only a small side effect. I haven't had a flu vaccine before so I think i'll keep it that way.

Today wasn't all unproductive, I did try to get my network to have open NAT settings. I have a strange set up. I have a usb dongle from Telenor to connect to the internet, I also have a Phillips router that is connected to my mac by ethernet. My internet is shared from the usb connection to ethernet, so then my Xbox can connect to Xbox Live and Connect360 which is a great program, if you have a Mac and a Xbox get that program. But although I have all the settings correct it still has Moderate NAT settings. the routers homepage hasn't got an option for "Open, Moderate, Strict" NAT settings. It's annoying but I can connect to Xbox Live so that'll do for the moment.

I am trying to not spend all my time playing Xbox though cause I do need to get a job. I got another "Thanks for your application but we're going with someone else" email today. Nice of them. So far they have been the second company that has replied to my application. I need a job because I'm getting really bored of looking for jobs. The Google translate translations aren't as funny as they were. Handing out CV's is ok, I'm guessing my complete lack of Swedish is what is holding me back, or my previous work experience sucks.

I have been granted an exemption for the entrance requirements for the computer programming course I applied for in September. So I'm guessing I nearly have my place in the course which I should have anyway cause the course is done online. Waiting. Always waiting. I have Wine installed on my computer so I can run windows programs on my Mac however it may have not been properly installed the first time, maybe because I lost patience with it the last time. The Wine package comes with various Windows software which it is installing (for the last 4 hours) the ones that I have selected from the list. Some may come in handy for my college course. I have been messing around with my Mac, in between hunting jobs, for example installed Ubuntu Linux on a partition and on a spare external hard drive. Neither seems optimal so reinstalled Snow Leopard. Unfortunately there seems to be something wrong with the external hard drive that I was using because now it tends to freeze when in use. There's nothing on it but it won't format properly either. I might have to put it back into Cinderella (my old PC) and try from that side.

I really need to play drums. I have the snare from my practice kit in my room. The rest of the kit is in storage down in the basement. I forgot to bring the muffle skin for the bass drum so it's not going to work well in an apartment. Hopefully will get something going band wise. Would be great to just play a kit for a bit. Guitar Hero world tour just doesn't cut it. I've been to a few gigs here which have been good. The venue that they put shows on is awesome. It's in a building which is in an Industrial estate. They call it Utkanten, which kinda means outskirts. It's a gig venue and has gym equipment and computer stuff and a bicycle repair workshop and a kitchen. It's a DIY activity centre. Check out it's page and if you can't read Swedish go to Google translate.

Day 10 of Novembeard. Not as itchy as other have been complaining about. I wish I wasn't cockeyed sometimes.
