Today was a descent day.  I didn’t get a whole lot done today at work because this morning I was bombarded with calls, one right after another it seemed like until about 10am.  When I finally was able to sit down at my desk and get some coding pounded out a person showed up to work on some of our measuring machines as part of an annual maintenance contract.  I led him around the building to show him the devices and gave him a quick break down of everything that I knew was wrong with them.

At lunchtime today I finished chapter eight in my C++ book =) .  After lunch my day seemed to fly right by as I got a little bit of coding done and thought out some logic problems I knew I was going to run into with my project.  When I got home tonight I changed into some warmer gear and went on a run like I had promised myself I would do last night.  I am very glad that I went to bed early last night, it seemed to help me through the whole day a lot better.  After my run Lucas wanted to go to Walmart to pick up a frozen pizza and some tea so I tagged along and got a bag of generic brand cereal, “Honey Nut Scooters,” and a gallon of milk.

The rest of my evening so far has been spent in disapointment trying to overclock my system to a degree in attempts to get it’s performance up higher… but it just won’t do it.  I have not given up yet, I’m going to do some more reading on what it is I need to do to get this system running faster, but not tonight.  I’ll worry about it later.  Going to spend the rest of my evening working on my windows installation some and get it ready for the LAN party next weekend =) .
