tacking number which will be on the fedEx prepaid slip to the USPS customer care section so that they can verify the shippment and post your money order after the verification.”

I <3 Craig’s list.

Here’s how that one really works: Person A works for FedEx. He draws up a fake money order and sends it to me. I “cash” the money order, and — all excited — I print out his prepaid slip, slap it on my box, and take it to FedEx that day (this is the crucial part for him). Now, here’s the good part: the money order doesn’t clear since his check is a fake, they reverse the payment to my account, and he steals the box (via the tracking number I sent him) so there is no way to get my camera back.

Good job, buddy. Did you really think I’d fall for that?

In the words of Andy Doe, “Do you know who I am?”

Alaska!!

My Alaskan vacation is coming up, and I’m quite excited to get out of dodge and into the wilderness for a couple weeks.

Many, many thanks to MotherFarkas for letting me crash on the couch on my way out of town. I, unfortunately, scheduled a very late arrival — hopefully MotherFarkas will still be willing to pick me up.

I’m also looking to upgrade my camera before this trip. Anyone want to buy a Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D)??

Okay, so I’m not a hard ass. I’m not in any way intimidating. That’s fine.

But I did nail down a 6x performance increase in a certain piece of code today. Not bad for a performance thug.

pick me up

Posted by rdub in Musings

I could go for a serious lay right about now.

I’m fucking exhausted…

I am going fly fishing this weekend, that’ll relax me a bit. Can’t wait to go home, see my parents (even though they live in different houses now), my sister, and just get my mind off work.
