Friday night, I had to leave work early. So the Coke man shows up to stalk the machine after I leave and my buddies decide it’s time to end the never ending conflict over the amount of Coke and Diet Coke in the machine. Well, turns out that they struck a deal with him, we give him an undisclosed amount of money and he stocks our private fridge chuck full of Coke. Here’s the thing, When I left Friday, I was just starting a Coke free period that I like to do from time to time. (mainly just to convince myself that I’m really not addicted) So after my looong weekend of fighting headaches and mentally preparing for the onslaught of temptation (to drink Coke that is) that usually can be found at my place of work, I show up today to find a seemingly endless supply of the life giving stuff. Nice timing huh?

So I finally got things set up to start…(Oh, there’s a burnt CD now) to start doing all the leg work for Linux Dirt Cheap. LDC (as we like to call it) is owned by my buddy Grant. He has just got to the point that he is sick of doing all the boring repetitive redundant repeating redundant work. That’s where I come in. I post auctions to ebay, fulfill orders and so on. Then we split the profit up to a certain point, after that, I get to keep it all (more or less). We were having problems getting a scsi burner installed on a Linux box so we did the unthinkable, we installed Windows XP on that box. Actually, there is not really much I have to complain about winXP yet. Over a week now and it hasn’t crashed. What’s up with that?
