I re-added a computer useage/owner subpage to the About page.
I have been an Apple computer user since the late 1970′s and an owner since the mid 1990′s. The first computer I used was an Apple II plus. I still own this computer, rescued from my mother’s garage. The first computer that I purchased for myself was an Apple Power Macintosh 7100/66 AV. I still own this. I guess I am starting a Mac collection museum.
Well, I started my final semester at SFSU. I am only taking three classes at 11 units. This should be easier to manage with my work schedule. Although, school comes first above everything else, especially for my last semester. In December 2007 I will graduate with BS degrees in Accounting and Decision Science.
So far, my experience at SFSU has been very good. Nothing unexpected. I do not spend a lot of time on campus or participate in school activities mainly do to work schedule and commute distance (100 miles round trip).
The SFSU College of Business has been very helpful. They provide any information needed online and also have a helpful staff in BUS 112.
I found a classic video of one of my favorite all-time songs. Purple Haze, recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967.

What is the point? Does anyone really care if I’m awake or asleep?
Do I care what someone had for breakfast?
I have more interesting things to waste time on. Mini-blogging is a major time waste. If the post is not worth the time to actually write it out why bother.
I removed the sidebar Twitter and Jaiku modules. If there is still a need to follow me when I post to Twitter or Jaiku, I will still provide links. Maybe, I’ll just post once a month to these services just to stay remotely involved.

I have been a supporter of SETI@home for about five years. When I started there was not an easy way to participate in multiple projects. A few years back BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) was developed for the home user to volunteer their personal computing power and time.
See the basic info below from the BOINC site.
Use the idle time on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research. It’s safe, secure, and easy:
Choose projects
Download and run BOINC software
Enter the project URLs, your email address, and password.
This is a simple process, so sign-up today.
There seems to be a lot of talk about how great Twitter is. What about Jaiku?
When it comes to web badges, I like simplicity. The basic Twitter web badge can display 1-20 updates. The simple Jaiku web badge only displays most recent update. The more advanced flash web badges for both are not bad for displaying updates with or without friends. They are just too busy for me.
Since Jaiku allows feeds from other services and is not hyped up like Twitter, I tend to prefer Jaiku.
I am still using WordPress v2.2.1, although 2.2.2 is available. I upgraded the K2 theme to beta revision 377 and I have the Disable WordPress Widgets plugin activated. Everything seems to be working.
