http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress Yeah, that's right. You have something better to do. Sun, 24 Aug 2008 06:30:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yeah, it's been quite a while since I last wrote something on the site and I feel bad about it.  Not only has it been forgotten but I'm also paying for a site that I wasn't using.  When I logged in I had about 30 comments waiting in moderation and ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=35 Ok, so this is the 3rd weekend in a row and 4 out of 5 that my DSL has slowed down to a nearly unusable state.  I've called the so-called "Tech Support" but they are clueless drones who read out a script and if they can find one reason not ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=34 For Valentines day, the wife and I stepped into the 21st century and got each other blackberries.  She got the pearl and I got the world phone.  I know, you're probably thinking, "Why not the iPhone?".  Well, we already had sprint, and sprint has a pretty decent data network which ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=33 So, in the beginning, we looked at all of the signs, did the research and tried to make the best decision possible.  But, it's strange how the best laid plans go awry.  All the signs pointed towards HD-DVD's being the next format winner.  A past hatred of sony's root kits ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=32 Hello again.  In keeping with tradition, it's been another 4 months since I last posted and a lot has happened in the meantime.  Probably the biggest thing that's been keeping me from posting is work.  We've been on OT duty trying to play catchup for quite some time now.  I'm ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=31 We finally made it down to NC to meet my nephew and also to take a small but well needed vacation.  Drew is an active little fella who really likes Elmo (as you can see in his choice of chairs).  He doesn't say much at the moment but does understand ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=30 Hello again!  Yes, it's been like 5 months now since I updated the blog.  Not quite sure why I haven't, most likely just laziness I guess.  Combined with a pretty unexciting few months makes for nothing to blog about.  But, nonetheless, there are a few things I can talk about. As ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=29 So, a lot has happened since my last post, which was like a month ago.  Our friends Matt and Parke have gotten the green light to come back to NY after a brief stint at ILM.  I didn't quite get all the details because as Matt was telling me the ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=28 Hey, not much to say here, but just thought it had been a while since I last wrote something and if this is to be a blog or journal, then I guess the point is to write in it regardless if you have something important to say.  Anyways, let me ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=27 So, I'm reading one of my websites and while reading a post by Tycho, this one particular group of sentences stuck out in my mind. There is an especially demonic portion of the video - let us say thirty-one seconds from the hated beginning, which was the end of all pleasure ... http://www.jacobrichards.com/wordpress/?p=26
