Car Wash

My youth group had a car wash today. It went well. I am getting an ipod. I think it will be the 10 GB model. I just have to get a firewire card for my computer. I know that the ipod will work with USB 2.0 but I only have USB 1.1. And it will be very slow to transfer music to it. So I will get a firewire card to make transfers alot faster. I'm so excited about this I can't wait. But I will have too. I have had the Rio 300, 500, 600 and now have my HP Jornada 568 for an mp3 player.

All Done

I had the best time at LazerX. It was so much fun. The 3 hours that we played went by fast. I am definitely going to go back and play again.

LazerX

I am going to LazerX tonight. It is laser tag. I have never done this before. I think I will have fun.

Ipaq

have decided that I want the HP ipaq h2215. It has a compact flash and secure digital card slot. The h1945 does not have a compact flash slot. And the audio jack is not a normal size so I would have to carry around an adapter. The h2215 has bluetooth so I would still have that. It is a little bit larger than the h1945. And the screen is not as bright. But it is running Windows Mobile 2003. Now if I could just get someone to buy my HP Jornada 568.

Tyler

I went to Tyler today to look at the HP ipaq h1945 Pocket PC. I am thinking about selling my HP Jornada 568. I want Windows Mobile 2003 and bluetooth which the h1945 has built in. The device is so small and thin. I was amazed. The screen is so bright and crisp it is beautiful.

My Store

Ok I re-opened my Cafepress store.

Job part 3

The interview for the job went well. It was a short interview and they made me fill out another application. I don't think I will get the job. Apple rolled out new Powerbooks today. I want one so bad. I am sick and tired of Microsoft's OS. I am tired of getting viruses and it crashing on me. I wish I had the money to get the 12" Powerbook. It would be a learning experience since I don't know anything about Macs.

Job Part Two

I might have another job at Westwood Elementary. I go for an interview on Monday.

Job?

I put in for a job at Westwood Elementary School. I hope I get it. I decided to create Jims Tech News. It will be basically technology news from different sources around the internet. It is technology news that interest me. I also changed the templete for my blog if you have noticed. I don't know if I like it yet. I might go back to the old one.

DDoS attack part two

It finally seems if F2o.org has the DDoS thing under control. Today I went to my youth pastors house to fix their old computer. It was coming up with alot of errors during start up. I don't know what I did but I fixed it. Tonight I had to go get something at Wal-Mart around 11:30 pm and they were having illegal street racing in my town. This happens every night I think. We have alot of teenagers that have race-rockets. I was pulling up to the stop light and there was smoke everywhere. And the smell of burnt rubber. That person must have taking off fast. I think all the police are at home or they don't care. That's all for now.

Laptop

I want a laptop computer. I had a Fujitsu 270Dx but I sold it on ebay. It had alot of problems that would have cost me alot of money to get it fixed. So, It was a good thing to sell it. But I mess being able to take my computer everywhere with me. I take my desktop computer to youth to use it on the projector. But I can't take it every Wednesday because it is so heavy. I enjoy being able to use it in youth. I like Dell and HP laptops. I wish I had the money to get one. I would ask for one for Christmas but again I don't think that would happen. It really has me depressed.

TechTV for Sale.

Paul Allen has put his TechTV cable channel up for sale, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Battery

I just got a new battery for my HP Jornada at Office Depot for $0.95cents. They had alot of stuff on clearance. I might go back and get some more stuff.
Update: I went back and got the battery with MMC slot on it. It originally cost $80 dollars. I got it for $2.04. What a great deal.

Fun Day

Today has been a fun day. I went to Six Flags with two friends. I fixed me some sandwiches to eat for lunch because I did not want to spend allot of money on food, it is so expensive at Six Flags. Well, we got there and paid for our tickets and went through the mental detector. Then I had to have my bag checked. I told the security lady that it only had my food in it. I put it in a small cooler. Well she said that they were not allowed in the park and that we can't bring in outside food. So, I can't go put it into my car because we got dropped off. She said that the gas station would keep it for me until the park closes. So I left to go find the gas station and it was right in the parking lot. I did not have to walk far. We got to it and it was closed. We walked around to the other side of the park and found a security person and ask for help. And she said that she would call someone to open it for us. Someone came and opened it up for me. While we waited I managed to eat one sandwich and drink one coke.

We finally made it into the park. There was hardly anyone there. School has started in Dallas. And I guess it was because we went on a normal business day. We walked right up to some of the big roller coasters. Did not even have to wait for a minute to ride. It was so cool. The ride would end and the people said that we did not have to get off. We got to ride The Batman ride and the Titan 4 or 5 times. My friend finally decided that he wanted to do Mr. Freeze. It was really funny because when we were riding The Batman ride we saw people walking on Mr. Freeze. The ride was closed for inspection I guess. They've had allot of problems with this ride. Guys were walking all over it. It finally opened up and we rode it 4 times. Believe me that is allot. We walked right up to it and got on. I just learned something really cool. The movie Spy Kids 2 was filmed right at Six Flags Over Texas. They added allot of CGI rides that did not exist. You should go check out the DVD and look at the special features on it. But, in the movie you can see The Batman ride and Mr. Freeze. But the rides were not going. They should have made them operational in the movie. This is the longest post ever.
