spam prevention more annoying than spam
Yahoo! mail just prompted me for a CAPTCHA to send email. that's right, for me to SEND mail from my account, which i had logged into, it wanted me to type words and phrases into a box and click enter to verify i am human.
if they don't pull this service it will be the best argument yet to switch fully to gmail. now to figure out how to forward my yahoo mail there

welder!!!
Yet another fun packed weekend in SLC. I decided all of my hardware hacking had hit a glass ceiling... so i ran out and bought a welder. Now i can cut, grind, polish AND weld. 
with my new toy, i started building a rack for the daytona so we can fit all the gear for the sport touring trips we have coming up. So far, it's coming together great, but my 1.0 design is going to need some tweaking so that it will actually carry a load. Mainly i just need some down-tube support, which should tie into the passenger footpegs and exhaust mount bracket just about right. And while it may not be the prettiest piece of luggage you've ever seen, it sure is gonna be tough and comfortable to ride with.
Bonnie and Lissa threw a party @ crystal's on sat nite to celebrate graduation and bonnie's birthday. it was a good time. Crystal managed to run over my Canon a40 digicam on the way home tho, but the thing still works! granted the screen is half shredded, but it'll be perfect for the upcomming camera mod for the motorcycle. Now i don't need to worry so much bout breaking it.
Went on a good lil ride with matt this morning. Bounced up to Mirror Lake Highway till the road ended at bridge construction. I rode the CBR back and matt rode the triumph. I REALLY LOVED that CBR, i hope i can find myself one sometime soon. Maybe with my next bonus for all this hard work i've been doing.
Onward i go to Houston. Teaching a CMS class this week. Should be nice not to have somebody babysitting me on the whole thing. When i get back i gotta finish up on the rack and order some new tires. maybe even some saddle bags if i'm really feeling adventurous, tho i think the new rack will allow me to put the wheelie bag up there as well as the tent, sleeping bags, etc. Psh, may even have some room for some of the stuff i mock dave/kris/eric/dawn about, like an air matress.

Another roller coaster week
So i'm sitting in cleveland. again. Grandma isn't doing well. again. So i'm sitting here waiting to find out what's going to unfold.
2 days ago i got a call from HR at Altiris. They were supposed to send me an offer letter for quite a good price, and they're talking about stock in addition to the offer. I'll have to call them on monday and have them fax a copy here for me to review/sign. Longest. Process. Ever. (see chang's interview process. seem familiar?)
