oh man.

here is my new geek reccomendation... for anyone needing misc cables and such.... please please please pay attention

callcct.com

thats it. forget ANY and EVERY other vendor on earth. the shit is dirt cheap, good to descent quality, and has FREE SHIPPING. yes FREE.

for 25 bucks, i ended up with a 25 foot roll of s-video cable that i needed for this weekend.... gold ended, mind you. plus a 10 foot usb printer cable... which i actually need for my scanner since the 3 foot one it has wont reach.... and 2, double ended, clear coated rounded ata cables... fucking nasty shit man. 25 bones. staples, ahem, sells the printer cable alone for 24.99 before tax. the s-video cable [6 foot variety only!!!!] is listed at 39.99, and the rounded cables max out at 19 inches, and still run 20 bucks a piece. ill know more when i plug them in... especially the s-video cable, but from handling them and stripping back some of the housing on the ata's, everything looks good. its not supreme, ultra grade cable... which is what the belkin shit at staples is... but then again... even if doesnt work right after a year... im still money ahead. again. for geekly cable needs: www.callcct.com all i aske for my geekly rec' is that you drop me on their refferal. i get nothing for it. just pride. sounds like its a small time mom and pop business, and i know alot of people that need some misc cables... just drop me on it in the comments area of the cart, and order up!


second, for geekly points. turns out we have a specific epson digital projector at work... thats suuuuupppposed to be a dummy inactive, non-working, empty-shell unit for display only..... being bored, and thinking it weighed a bit more than the empty plastic shell should.. i cracked her apart. circuit boards are all intact. as are fans, pins, lens and cabling to the rear pannel connectors. all its missing... is the bulb, and a power supply! FUCKING JACKPOT BITCHES. a 2 thousand dollar projector could well be mine for the price of parts and the headache of dissassembly and mounting. god damn it was cool to see that. its still at work, hahahaha locked up into cabinets that only i and management have keys to, but its my project now. werd.



non geek points. well today was so nice, i cut out of here early and went fishing before work. no pole was necessary. fish were plentiful. 3 bottles of icy cold water, and a public park full of sunbathing single beauties later, fishing was had. i met two girls that were pretty cute. no numbers. but they said they go there all the time. werd. just werd. fuckin' one step closer from somewhere other than depressing singlesville. werd.
