So I've recently started using the Opera web browser as my primary browser. There are several things I can't stand about it (probably from being used to Firefox), but I think the good things about the browser outweigh the annoying shit (I'm not going to get into the feature debate today). I will admit that I was in denial the entire time. I knew it was faster, more stable, and had a lot of interesting features (when compared to Firefox). I was a diehard Firefox fan until it really started to irritate me at work. While trying to be productive, it's just not feasible to have a web browser consistently crash. I guess you can say I 'gave up' for a while until Firefox gets further ahead in development. Maybe 1.5 will change all of that, I don't know. But, in the mean time, I can say that I'm quite happy with Opera.
Let the flaming begin.

Just thought I'd mention (mainly for to try out sometime) that pork roast & sauerkraut cooked in the slow cooker all day is greater than all.

There is just something about McDonalds that draws me to it. I know how shitty the quality of the food is, but damn, it just tastes so good! It's only a little after 8am and I'm already craving it for lunch. I can't decide if I want to get a double quarter pounder, chicken selects or one of the new premium chicken sandwhiches. It's been a few weeks since I've gone there for lunch, so I'm definitely going to hit it up today. It's also nice to get out of the office for a good 30-45 minutes in the afternoon (something I haven't been doing at all lately).

I can't wait to be able to drive to work again. I get my license back in Iowa on November 10th. There is nothing worse than having to depend on 3rd parties for a ride to work every day. It is an _extreme_ pain in the ass. Just one month to go!

I've been thinking about going on my own full-time now for several months, but what always holds me back is the non-guaranteed work flow. Well, after talking with a old buddy of mine the other day, I think it just might work. The other thing that I'm worried about this time is the startup costs. Man, the thought of being able to work from home or potentially my own office... wow. More info on all of that as it comes in.

Today was actually not that bad at work. I got quite a bit done, and also agreed to do several more personal coding projects (extra cash, w00t!!). Turns out I like coming in to work earlier a lot better than later. For some reason, the morning hours always seem to fly by, so being here less later in the afternoon seems to make the day go by a lot faster.

Got to work about 6:45am this morning after not getting home from darts last night until about 12:00am. It was slightly hard getting up, but I'm surprisingly not that tired right now. One thing that sucked this morning.. the temperature got down in the low 30s and a few windows are still open in our house. Well, right when I walk out of the bathroom from the shower (still slightly wet), an extremely cold breeze damn near puts me into hypothermia. If you've ever been in that situation, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Also have to bowl tonight at 9:00pm. I'm seriously considering taking a nice, long nap when I get home from work. Usually bowling nights are even later than dart nights. But at least I don't have to be at work by quarter to 7 tomorrow.

Pay more attention when buying Mt. Dew (don't hit Diet Mt. Dew button).

This cold is really kicking my ass. I think I got somewhere bewteen 1-2 hours of sleep last night (not cool).
Sitting here at work with a huge task list and don't feel like doing any of it. I'm not sure what the deal is lately, but I've just had no inspiration to program what-so-ever. Hopefully this will end soon.
EDIT: I'm starting to wish I would have stayed home from work today.
