In Search of an Email Server

Last night it was determined that Ipswitch IMail on my server is no longer serving my purposes well because of its weird records system (using Windows Registry) as well as its harsh handling of large SMTP loads and IMAP requests. I have determined that I need to replace it with something a little better. My […]

Another one bites the dust….

My Abnormal Psychology class met for the last time this evening. We took our test (after waiting for our classroom) and then we left. Before that we handed in delivered our article reviews to Dr. Noland. The assignment was a complete nightmare to do because of the unclarity of the way it was presented. Everything […]

Who needs 50lbs of clay? I do!

When I awoke this morning I looked out my window and saw with great suprise a giant box from KC Metro Ceramics. My 50lbs (23 kg)of clay had arrived, as well as my new tools. I had been waiting for this clay since before I ordered my mobile wheel, but oh well, at least its […]

Happy December!

In the next week I will have 2 tests, 1 exam and 5 papers due. Ain’t my life grand? I am ready for the tests, the exam and 2 of the papers are already ready (and the last 2 are extra credit). I think I am ready for the conclusion of the semester; however, GITI […]

Reviving Old Habbits

This past weekend I found the need to bring back one of my old hobbies, wheel based ceramics. I have always loved working with clay, but up until tonight I had forgotten what a challenge it is to get started with something on the wheel, all the work with the clay before you can even […]

Academic Awareness

Through my senior year in high school I was certain of what I wanted my college major to be and swore I would never change it. That major was Information Technology. A few months after I was accepted to UNCC I sent notification of changing my major to Psychology because I had a change in […]

An Update

Where did November go? I think at some point I found myself ignoring the installation of MovableType on the DisturbingThoughts.net domain. My classes are going well and are reaching that critical point in the semester when the final lectures are being given and exams are being completed and we are all breathing a sigh of […]

Testing Competency Through Forced Situations

I am a person of precise planning and coordination of every major and minor life event. This evening before I departed for UNCC I decided to check the UNCC campus map to determine an alternative route to my normal parking lot due to the traffic that occurs on my normal route (which is more direct). […]

Semester Ending

Last week was my final normal week for this semester. Next week is a partial week (2 days) and the week following ends early, then we enter the 10 days of exams. The past few weeks have been mostly calm and the days have just sort of floated by. An assignment here, a test there. […]

I feel the need, the need for… uh oh……

At 1:14AM EST on October 31, 2004 I was issued my first ticket ever by Lt. Randall of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. I am currently in a very mentally distraught and anti-driving mood. The ticket is for going 85mph in a 60mph zone. I will appear in court on December 10, 2004 at 9:00am. […]
