A labor of love

Posted by shadow460, 31 December 2009 · 42 views

In 1999, a green iguana was displayed in a day care center. He's not your average cuddly creature like a dog, so perhaps the five year old children mistakenly tried to treat him like one. His tail was broken about halfway between the tip and his body.

The following year, he measured between 24 and 26 inches from his head to the tip of what...

Big consoles need big features part 2

Posted by shadow460, 14 December 2009 · 28 views

And some have them. With the ability to play movies, CDs, games, even save your progress to a memory device, kick around PC files, and play karaoke, what more could one ask for? Oh, and it's got a headphone out jack, too. It also has optical output jacks, so that means it's not a Genesis. Besides, the Genesis ain't big even with...

Big consoles need big features

Posted by shadow460, 29 November 2009 · 28 views

Screw the 5200. I spent about three hours getting an emulator working on my PSP under CFW 5.00 something M33. It spat out Zaxxon at full speed to my C=1701 monitor, but that's the only game that worked so well. The emulator thinks its a computer, though. Good job, Atari, you have now confused the definition of "computer" with...

healing

Posted by shadow460, 16 September 2009 · 33 views

I wonder if my foot would heal faster with the Loritab. It is still available if I want it. I've kept it wrapped through the day, and had the wrap off two nights ago. Last night I wrapped it a little closer to my toes than normal, and it woke me up several times. I worked the wrap off little by little, and left it off for about half an...

Another day, another job

Posted by shadow460, 14 September 2009 · 31 views

Well, there went another job today. I am beginning to think of them in terms of assignments that only last a few weeks until it is time to find another.

I was working overtime this weekend, and I chose to work both Saturday and Sunday evenings instead of through the day. that might have been a mistake since I really could have used sunlight...

**** the DHS

Posted by shadow460, 23 July 2009 · 14 views

I'm divorced. When it happened, the state stepped in and determined child support and they ignored what both my first wife and I wanted. OK, when I have a job, I pay it. If I was still married to her and lost my job, no one would care that my kid might be going without a little, so why should it matter that I lost my job after we were...

Theme park accidents

Posted by shadow460, 17 June 2009 · 34 views

I've seen people walking down one coaster, and I've been stuck on another. Just today I saw a fellow lose his inner tube on an intense water slide.

When I was still pretty young we took a trip to California to visit my great aunt. While she was managing her restaurant therein Van Nuys, we were touring and going places like Universal...

more job searching

Posted by shadow460, 25 February 2009 · 48 views

I had a manager call me back today from a place in Norman not far from the Grace home I worked at last year. The first one, that is, not the hostile alien environment I was transferred to later. A test was given when I applied and evidently I blew away the HVAC portion. Sweet. Dunno if it'll go anywhere, but hopefully so and hopefully...

Job search and other stuff

Posted by shadow460, 24 February 2009 · 17 views

Its boring staying at home all the time. I stay up too late, sleep too late, then when I get up I fax a couple resumes off (the free limit at Faxzero is two a day) and either go put in applications or do something else job search related.
Today I made a list of ALL of my work history. From the after school tutoring in 1990 all the way up to my...

Shattered games...

Posted by shadow460, 15 February 2009 · 26 views

OK, so now here's how I can turn a sad story into something good.

First, I managed to acquire some very nice 2600 games late last year. Among them is a near mint condition Fishing Derby and a near mint CIB Fire Fighter.

So I'm looking for Missile Command in my stack of carts yesterday. I don't remember if there was a text release...
