Birthdays

I have come to the conclusion that I hate my birthday by and large. Always seem to get fairly depressed right around the time of my birthday, rather annoying really. But that is life now isn't it...

1 more year down the grain and I am no farther ahead than I was last year (which would explain the depression I guess) I really need to find a steady job so I have so bloody hope of getting my own damn place to live, then I will find something new to be depressed about I guess. =S

So sayeth John

this and that

Waiting on the GMs in WoW to actually do something and restore my characters to there pre-hacked state, takes forever it seems, but I guess they are dealing with a rash of these problems, seems someone got Trojans in to a LOT of the player base and fucked a lot of accounts up (by the way kiddies, always double check your nice firewall, anti-virus and spyware scanners are all working and up to date). Gotta wonder what they really gain from it thou? selling the gold to other fools? the gold will be deleted I am sure, and hopefully the paypal accounts they use will get frozen and the money taken back and refunded to the poor sods who spent real money on electronic game gold.

Ideas

ok, so I am looking at ideas that I might be able to use if I can manage to get my mother and grand mother not to sell my grandmothers house, but leave it to me instead.
place needs some updating but that is pretty normal and not so bad. looking at what I can do to make sure the place uses less power/gas. Tankless water heater, recalculating hot water system for one will make things a little better, partially cause a tankless takes up a lot less room than a normal water heater, but they are supposed to be more efficient as well, which is always good. and the recirculating system helps avoid the loss of water from running the damn thing till ay get hot water at the faucet =)

Would be nice to be able to use LED bulbs thru out the house, a lot less power there (make up for my computers which are always power hogs), even nicer if I could pull off some solar power, 1kW system is 20K thou =S that is a heck of a chunk of change, but that is a full kit SPS Ultimate Home Power System

would be nice to play with, ought to figure out how much power that house pulls and if that size system could take most of the house load, would pay for itself after a year or two I am sure. Guess I should come up with a Kill-A-Watt and start measuring actual energy loads for the shit I use most of the time and see what I end up with and start figuring what my true power load is, and then see what I can reduce it by HI HI

well I think i am going to try and sleep now =S damn-my vampire ways, have to force myself to sleep more often than not at night, day i can fall asleep damn near like a light, but at night takes an act of congress to get my body to sleep
