a lot of stuff had happen this week, so i've been too busy to mention that i got my 1st paycheck. yay! apparently it went into my bank account on monday when i was in seattle. $850 extra to spend. hehe.
i mentioned this gmail software a few days ago: GMail Drive shell extension. just got around to play with it today. i do have my full 1gb of space to put files in. the only problem is that each file is limited to 10MB which isnt a problem when you have winrar and can split the files. i did a download speed test ona a 9.53MB file and it took 40.6s from start to finish (including initialization and connection time) which comes out to be ~240kB/s which is really good considering my cable only supports upto 350kB/s.

found this article while browsing through some news: Odd mishaps cause computer grief. read the user stories below. they're the best! A friend at university had completed a 10,000 word assignment the evening before the morning it was due to be handed in. During the night there was a thunderstorm and his house was hit by lightning which fused the entire house's electricity and blew up his computer. He lost the entire assignment.
