still working

Music is still downloading, which isn't brilliant. I've gotten better speeds over dial-up. I'll keep it going and see what happens tomorrow. In the mean time, the link I did earlier is here.

fraud? what fraud?

by Dave Wed 29 September 2004 @ 22:34
I just had my Amex card declined when trying a transaction on Apple's iTunes. Apparently the nice people in American Express were all concerned about my card being stoled or copied, so they started declining transactions. I got it sorted out, but they were a little surprised when I told them that I was indeed buying the top hundred albums and singles from iTunes. God I enjoyed that conversation :-) We're doing a thing with work so I had to download all of these songs, and I get to keep them when I'm done too. Its a pretty good list too - I'll upload it later.

frequent treatment

by Dave Sun 26 September 2004 @ 16:36
My consultant wants me to go back to the hospital to see him every month. No particular reason they say, and they seem pretty confident in that. Just routine they say, and that this is the way he likes to operate his schedule. So the novelty value of cancer, and hospitals, and treatments is going to wear off real fast. I was there twice over the last week to see my oncologist and have an ultrasound, and while I was typing this sentence, something occurred to me. It isn't every six months that I'm going to have to go back, it IS every month. I'll have to go for bloods, x-rays and cat scans every month with the oncology department, and the same every six months with the urology department. Fuck, what a drag. And I don't even get miles for this.

everything

by Dave Tue 21 September 2004 @ 09:46
Lots of things happening right now.  Work is busy as ever, though its all a bunch of little jobs that need to be done.  I had to go for an ultrasound today, and everything was clear, which is great news.  Eve is starting to bore me, so I'm going to leave the corp I work in and try something else.  Anna is working in The Passage this week.  I'm re-designing my web site, and going to finally engineer it as I want it.  I have an idea involving liquid metal that, if I can manage to make it look like I want it, is going to be awesome.  I'm sure there's more, but I'm going to get some sleep now.  Back to our regular scheduled program from tomorrow :-)
