Luke says Moo!

My life and the world as I see it. It’ll mostly be a place for me to gripe and friends to keep up with me.

Water’s falling from the ceiling

by @ Tuesday, August 10th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

I woke up this morning to the sound of water dripping on plastic bags. There was drippage from the corner of my ceiling near my desktop and monitor…argh.
E-mailed the landlady…hopefulley we get this taken care of shortly because I don’t want my desktop to have to stay in Dr. 7’s room for very long.

Networking

by @ Monday, June 14th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

Interesting networking going on.
Ok, my land lady offeres free wireless networking to everyone in the building. Which is good otherwise I woudn’t be online to post this, but it’s a quirky connection.
&nbsp Take my laptop for example. It didn’t get an IP the first time I tried it when my [...]

Stupid Verizon

by @ Wednesday, June 9th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

Verizon is a pain in the rear. I know for a fact that I can get DSL in my apartment. My land lady has DSL in this building, and I’m pretty sure the guy who lived here before me had it.
They need to figure out what’s going on. I [...]

Whee!

by @ Tuesday, May 18th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

Okey, dokey. I just got my telephone setup to make sure it’ll be moved to the apartment on June 1. And I made sure the guy will have the DSL setup ASAP…so I’ll have net connection as soon as I move in from being at home with the folks.
And does anyone happen to [...]

Neighbors

by @ Tuesday, April 20th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

Ok, I’ve got a story about my neighbors.
For a while the house next to us had people living in it with many children, and then one day they all disappeared. The house was dilapidated, so we assumed they simply had to move. Anyway, a few weeks/month later a van starts showing up on [...]

Bird!

by @ Monday, April 19th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

Wow. I’ve never had a bird fly into my room until tonight. Wow…more excitement than I needed for several days.
It was very interesting. We opened up the windows (that I had closed only moments before it flew into the bathroom and then into my room) and tried to shoo it out, but [...]

It’s snowing

by @ Sunday, January 25th, 2004. Filed under Rental Abodes

And it’s gotten really, really cold in the house…should’ve turned my radiator up some before going to bed. Anyway, I’m just glad I don’t have to drive any where today…that’d not be any fun.
And now I’ve got lots of homework to do…wish me luck.

Today

by @ Wednesday, October 29th, 2003. Filed under Rental Abodes

Well, I finally got around to putting the plastic insulation up on the windows in my room. It definately cut down on the airflow. Keeps my room nice and cool without the wind.
We’re gonna have to go and reset all of the vents from where they are for summer…don’t want all of [...]

Argh

by @ Sunday, September 7th, 2003. Filed under Rental Abodes

I’d just like to say that sometimes it’s not the DSL provider’s fault. Sometimes your router decides it doesn’t like the DSL modem any more. The house didn’t “have” Internet connection for nearly 7 hours today. My housemate said that it happens on a regular basis, but normally on short bursts. [...]

Dishes

by @ Sunday, August 3rd, 2003. Filed under Rental Abodes

Ok, I officially hate doing dishes. Now I know why Mom was always so grumpy about having to do dishes so often.
As I have recently discovered things start to stink on a really quick basis. And stuff starts growing on wooden spoons in short order. I got it all off [...]
