Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Today I took my last exam for the semester, just finished season 2 of arrested development, and I'm going home in 3 hours or so. Good day.

Lotta graphics files, but mostly small CorelDraw vector files. Maybe 100 movies, about 4.5 GB apiece max, and a buncha race D/Ls from cyclingtorrents.nl.
Exactly...

I have a 100gb Windows 8 partitition. Probably gonna format it and re-extend my main drive though.
Cause... it sucks...


Today I took my last exam. I think i'm gonna change majors. Probably mathematics.

Today I quit my shop job, losing my awesome discount, pro-deal ability and access to all sorts of free stuff.

Tomorrow I start a new job:

I worked at a place that had one of those. Endless jokes, haha.

I just got six bottles of Westvleteren 12 and two bottles of Fantome Saison, both of which are extremely rare beers. I'm stoked. Also, new haircut looks good. Between that and the accidental shaving, I look like I'm about 21.



Not a bad day.

Well, DM me your address, send me a bottle of Pliny The Elder, and I'll send you a bottle of Westy. Also, Half Acre is releasing Big Hugs (Imperial Coffee Stout made with Dark Matter coffee) Sunday, and I'll snag you one of those if you have something else you wanna trade (Pliny The Younger would be acceptable, for comparison's sake haha). Also, haven't we had a beer-trade conversation before?

Funny that I was just talking to my youngest about clearing up her laptop's memory a little as she has nearly filled 100 GB drive and I am sitting here with 1TB in the desktop and another external 1 TB drive (which she can back up her laptop to).

I have barely put a dent in the storage capacity I have here but don't do a lot of media / music... just have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of image files.
