Ziggy what is the milage on your car? Does it run smooth still?

Why, you wanna buy it?

Currently I'm at 81,000 which is *nothing* for a 15 year old car (the average would be 180k). I got it with only 50k on it and was able to do about only 6k/year for the last 5 years.

And it does run pretty smooth. A couple of years ago I did the front struts and I have fairly new tires on it right now. The steering is a little floaty, but that could be fixed if the steering linkage is either tightened or replaced, but I just don't mind. The only things I have to do to it right now is rear struts and the fuel canister, otherwise it's in perfect shape. I think the fact that I was able to get slightly over 28MPG just proves what good of shape the car is in.

I checked BOX price plans and I was surprised that their free offer was 10GB and up to 250mb size limit per file.

With so much generosity , how many people really out there need more than that? I know they probably are targeting businesses but they are losing a lot on the consumer part. Compare that to the embarrassing 1GB storage for Evernote which you have to pay for $45 yearly.

I am not complaining, I am afraid such great service might shut down to bad business decisions

I've got 50 gigs free through BOX... dunno if they're still offering it, but when their Android app first came out they had a "Sign up with us thru Android and we'll give you fifty gigs!" promotion.

Plus 100+ on Google Drive because I bought a chromebook (that one's nominally only for 2 years -- but then my first one got stolen and I bought another, so I have another 2 years after that!)

Plus like 20 on Dropbox from various referrals, using the ".edu email addresses get double" promotion they had a while back, doing Dropquest the 2 years they did it (MAN I want them to do that again, it was awesome), etc etc.


In other news, back to work tonight. Gotta get used to daysleeping again.

Yeah not fun having to do the day sleeping thing...miss out on a lot of fun of hunts(unless I find a way to stay awake until places open which always seem to be 9am or later >_>) Have fun getting used to day sleeping, I hate having to do it but it's nice working full time now

Oh, I can USUALLY sleep anywhere any time. Just this particular vacation it was odd, for the first time ever I was having issues sleeping at night. Normally even on my weekend I stay up during the days and sleep at night like most people, then flip back to day sleeping for my work weeks. But on my 2 weeks off, my body was having none of that so I predicted switching back would also be difficult. I was wrong. ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz

I own a Toyota and I wanted to know how long they last. 81k miles is impressive. I have a 2002 model Toyota that has 93 miles on it and everyone is amazed by it. Many of my friends reach that number in 5 yeas or a bit more. You must hardly leave the house, or the previous owner.

The problem with the Android 50GB offer is that I believe it ends in a year or two. Its a bait, you upload a ton of stuff, in a year or two, you either pay up or lose your files I guess. Who stores 50GB of files online especially when you consider the bandwidth cap

I'm trying to read three books in three days for a project I am working on.

Read one yesterday. Today is day two.

If you see me here posting a ton and being distracted, please send me a PM to get my ass in gear.

My roommate in college had a Windows desktop background that was a picture of a penguin with the text DO YOUR HOMEWORK LOSER written in huge block letters. It was supposed to remind him to do his work every time he turned on the computer instead of surfing the internet or whatever. I dunno. Dude was weird. He also called his mom every day and talked to her in a baby voice saying "I love you mommy" and all sorts of shit.

I seriously hope that it wasn't actually his mother.

Would it be better if it were his girlfriend?
