Good intentions…

Don’t mean a thing.

I think this may be how you define irony!

Or at the very least it’s a placement fail!

Dear Mr. Hacker

You have relentlessly been digging through my sites looking for some backdoor that isn’t there. You keep running your stupid script, which means you’re not even a “real” hacker. The only thing you accomplish really is inflating my stats. So thank you I guess!

By the way, maybe you should move out of your moms basement and get a life!

What a difference a day makes, what, it’s been three weeks?

I have been neglecting my blog lately, honestly, I’m trying to figure out where it fits in the Facebook, Twitter, Google+ world. Honestly, I’m not sure yet. I can say that I love my blog and will never let it go. It may be neglected while I try to prioritize everything but I won’t let it die!

So if you’ll excuse me I need to go tweet this! ;-)

Storm 08/09/2011

My first storm that I was able to follow was a blast. Had a few hiccups in the process, one being I forgot my camera so all I had was the one built into my phone. The other issue being that I was unable to get a hold of our local Skywarn net operators so I had to crank up my radio and talk with the central Indiana net. Once they got used to the fact that I tend to ramble we all got along great.

I did get to follow a cell that had rotation and even managed to generate a funnel but it never got past that stage. Probably a good thing considering the communication issues I was dealing with. So, lets get to some photos:

This is the cell when I started

Heavy precipitation, but still disorganized

Funnel as it was dying

Let me just take a moment to say that I was annoyed at this point. I had nowhere to pull off and my phone had slid off to the side. The funnel was quite impressive when I first spotted it.

Front of a new cell, cool look

I could have continued chasing but I was tired, mentally and physically. That precipitation in the distance was hard, fast, and as I found out, packed with pea size hail. I just sat on the side of the road and enjoyed the clattering on the roof of my truck till I could see the road again!

Monday, and other things that suck.

Mondays always seem to vex me. Even though I haven’t been in the workforce for over two years, they still bite me sometimes. Almost makes me want to stay in bed all day but…

My new bed is harder than it felt at the store. We bought the floor model for a substantial savings but for some reason it just doesn’t feel the same as the day we plopped on it at the furniture store. I would love to return it but…

It is the floor model so there is no money back guarantee. The warranty is still valid but the no return policy is in effect. Now I have to sleep on it for the next few years till we can save enough to get yet another bed.

One thing that doesn’t suck is the fact that I am one payment away from officially owning my truck. What does suck is that the last time I payed off a vehicle it died two days later!

I am enjoying my amateur radio. I have been listening in and learning mostly. What sucks about this you ask? I know no one on the air. These people all know each other and have way more technical skills then I do. Even when I do talk to them, I have no clue what they are talking about sometimes. I would love to get a home based radio that puts out some nice wattage and a big antenna but they are expensive and then there’s that pesky HOA covenant.

Done complaining yet? No I am not, but I will give you a rest here.
