There will of course be a few exceptions to the rule, like if you are on verizon and have limited text messaging or minutes, but this will be my primary number for calls, texts, everything.

So to make this easier on everyone, just use my GoogleVoice number please. It is EightSixFour.SixFourTwo.FourThreeOneEight

So I was told by a group member about this little app called PStart.
PStart is a simple tray tool to start user defined applications. Designed to run portable applications (like portable Firefox & Thunderbird), you can start anything runnable from USB key devices or removable disks.

• Install PStart locally to your hard disk to have an additional start menu with a quick program search feature.
• Install PStart to your USB stick to launch portable applications easily and open important midi ringtones 2366i nokia ringtones music real ringtones ringtones download ringtones motorola download free new ringtones free ringtones for verizon phone free cingular music ringtones country music ringtones free lg ringtones verizon wireless cell free phone ringtones verizon wirelessмебели free mp3 ringtones converter free ringtones for verizon wireless cell phone free ringtones and wallpaper free ringtones verizon wireless cricket ringtones cell cricket free phone ringtones download free sprint ringtones download free polyphonic ringtones hotlink caller ringtones free midi ringtones documents or folders.

I have installed it along with several portable apps on my flash drive and so far it is awesome and excellent!

Funny Story

Background
Clemson Dining Services is currently participating in “Green Week”, the initiative to help the earth/environment by doing something “Green”, by removing the trays in the dining halls.

Story
I went to lunch today at about 11:30 and as per habit, I ALWAYS get a fork and knife when I go to Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner regardless of if I think I will need it or not. So, I leave for class at 2:15 and on my way to class, I stick my hand in my pocket and what do I find? My silverware from Harcombe that I stuck in my pocket! Why? Because I couldn’t hold my plates, drink and silverware in 2 hands, so I stuck it in my pocket. Oh… good times!

Rant
I guess that this is to help save on water expense and what not, but in reality it is just a pain for the consumers. I know that the thousands of trays that they wash each day is kind of a waste of water, but the question is, does that offset the environment cost of producing silverware? Or what about the students who aren’t going to Harcombe because it is a pain with no trays and go eat fast food or at a restaurant instead?

Everyone have an excellent week and good luck with exams!

That all doesn’t include anything else that may be assigned…

I’m gonna go insane…. sigh…
Note to self: Time Management…

We are the Harcombe Anonymous.
Over the years, we have been watching you. The decline of our once acceptable dining hall saddens us. With this most recent semester, we find the failing of Harcombe can no longer be tolerated. Here are our demands:

1. Do not overcook the salmon. The teriyaki salmon was your best.
2. Do not serve “creative” dishes, such as Chuck Wagon Stew or “Lunch Lady Surprise Night”.
3. If you are serving chicken at the Exhibition station, do not also serve chicken at the Home Cooking station during the same meal.
4. There is a reason that the only cookies left over by the end of lunch are oatmeal. Seldom few find them appetizing.
5. Beef should be served at least every two days at the exhibition station, not once a week.
6. Roasted eye of round was good. Bring it back.
7. Make sure spinach quesadillas actually have cheese in them.
8. Do not under any circumstances use wheat bread as pizza crust.
9. Serve more black eyed peas.
10. The current roast beef served is 90% fat. After being served a slice, only one bite of actual meat can be found in that piece.
11. Chicken pot pie is a delicious meal that should be included more often.
12. Make sure the eggs in omelets are not liquid when served.
13. Applesauce should be present at the salad bar during all meals.
14. The pasta bar was a huge success. Bring it back.
15. BBQ should be served more often, but let students apply their own choice of sauce.
16. Fried foods should include chicken fingers more often.
17. Make sure the bananas provided are actually ripe.
18. Let students serve side dishes themselves. Having an employee do it makes lines three times as long.
19. The ice cream bar on Fridays is greatly missed.
20. Bird dogs are disgusting.
21. Include a greater variety of fruit, such as pears and peaches.
22. Beef pot pie should never be served.
23. Beef wellington, on the other hand, is quite tasty.
24. Pork chops are known uniformly throughout this group as “rock chops”. Cook them less often.
25. Rice crispy treats should only be made with rice crispies. Not trix, cocoa crisps, or whatever random cereal you have lying around.
26. There aren’t enough fresh cookies.
27. The perch served is not edible.
28. Green peas are a rare sight anymore. Almost everyone likes green peas.
29. The sandwich area needs an additional employee to speed up the line.
30. No middle school field trips should be allowed during peak dining hours.
31. The soup of the day is almost always empty by mid-meal. Make more.
32. Watermelon at all meals would be a welcome sight.
33. Besides Dorothy, the sandwich line ladies are evil.
34. The random stalks of broccoli mixed with cauliflower is not an acceptable food source. Quit being cheap and buy actual broccoli heads.
35. Corned beef served at Harcombe is disgusting. Do not waste decent quality meat in such a manner.
36. We live too far from the coast for fish to be served as regularly as it is.
37. The pork loin is usually quite tasty. Have it more often if good quality beef is too difficult to come by.
38. The omelet line should not close before 10:00 AM.
39. Everyone loves Amos. Give that man a raise.
40. Chocolate chip cookies should not be 80% chocolate, 20% raw dough. Ease up on the chips and cook them longer.
41. Find a way to keep the rolls fresh. They are almost always stale by the time of consumption.
42. The deserts are rather disgusting. Take lessons from Schilletter.
43. Never, ever serve oysters, clams, or any other shellfish. Almost everyone gets sick from them.
44. Replace the cups more often. There are far too many cracked ones still in circulation.
45. Wax beans are universally disliked. Just try lima beans instead.

The Harcombe Anonymous will be observing your actions closely.

Expect us.

My oldest brother is still in Iraq, but he is doing well. We have been emailing back and forth when we can… speaking of, I was in the middle of a decently long email to him yesterday and my computer stopped working, then I come to find out that my email client no longer works and I have lost all the emails that were saved on my computer, but also the saved drafts of my email to him…. not happy…

Got that fixed, but I have decided that I’m just going to use Gmail’s webclient from now on, maybe I can get that to work how I want it if I actually use it….

Been hanging out with new friends or old friends more, which has  been nice. The onset of this has probably been me trying to compensate for the fact that Trevor is gone and now I’m alone in my room. Being alone in the room isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I just kinda wish Trevor and I had been able to room together for longer. Oh well… Whitney and Paul have been incorporated into our lunch/dinner group and we’ve hung out with Stacey and her roommate, Jessica, which has been a lot of fun!  I’m hoping that tomorrow (Friday) night we can have movie night and watch Dr. Strangelove We shall see…

Well I should head to bed… gotta get up in 7 1/2 hours….  I’ll try to update again sooner than later

Take a look at the following:

Apparently the following is the… 23

Friday night, Nate, Trevor and myself went to our cars before I went to the Semi-Formal with Em. We get there and everyone starts to leave, Trevor and Em are gone by now, and my car won’t start… So I call Nate and he comes back and we try to jump my car.

At this point I’m not sure what went wrong but we couldn’t get it to jump, so we go to check the connections. We are looking at them and the cables start smoking, then they start melting, then the clamps on my side of the car glow bright red and one catches on fire for a second. Nate and I are both freaking out, he uses a blanket to remove the cable from his ca, and they burn through the blanket in the process.

Once that is over with and we calm down, we notice some marks on my car and we thought that it had gotten so hot that it melted the clear-coat and ate through some of the paint, fortunately it hadn’t, so that was good.

Then this past weekend we played USC at USC and we barely won… it was ridiculous… I don’t want to talk about it… but the break was nice, even if I did have 2 tests when I got back… I enjoyed hanging out with Em and her Family, then I got to hang out with my family for about a day and a half, and that was nice.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a great break and that this week is going well!
Horray that the weekend is almost here!!

So my question is, what goes through one’s mind when they get dressed in the morning  IN THE WINTER!???

Well, anyways, I’ve spent a few days over the past weeks making the following… so check it out!
Things that one should watch or listen to
This will be updated as I post more videos or songs.

Oh, and BTW…. the weather here is terrible! It was 32 degrees when I woke up and went to my 8am, and it never got over 55…. yes… fall is here again, and winter is approaching faster than ever…

Well, back to work….

I had done minimal amounts of research on it, finding little information on the topic, at least little information in one place, which gave me the idea of the possibility of creating something along the lines of a website for it. However, school started and I hadn’t been able to work on it any more, up until these past 2 weeks when I decided to do a speech on the topic and now I’m working on it again and I am planning on continuing this project until it dies or until I graduate (possibly later).

I tell you all this because I am looking for people to join me in the research. There is the possibility of a Creative Inquiry Class being made by Dr. Pam Mack, Clemson’s Specialist on the History of Technology, and hopefully compiling something a bit more comprehensive on the topic.

So, if you are seriously interested in the subject, or think you would be, then please let me know by emailing me at mwoodru(at)clemson(dot)edu with the subject of ” Clemson’s Technological History” or something along those lines.
