HP Pavilion 8759c (p3 850 / 128 RAM / 30 GIG HD)
Adobe Photoshop 6.0
Microsoft Visual C++ Standard Edition

Whelp I think I am ready to start my webdevelopment... I hope....

Here is what I gave:

to charity:
With the new system... I sold my old one on Ebay and got 550 dollars for the bundle...... When I went to the post office to pick up my paypal check. After I cashed it, I walked by and there were some unfortunate people sleeping on the streets (homeless), I gave them some money for food and I hope they buy food and not beer.

to family and friends:

I don't want to talk about it! I am very dissapointed at what I recieve back from them. HRMMMPH!!!

Ditto. Do not underestimate Kronenberg especially when you haven't eaten. :)

I did too! Most people call it the toilet, but I'm a multi-purpose kind of guy, so hey, it's a recently deceased fish processing docking terminal to me.

Seriously...what'd I get?

I got no sleep from having to lay next to my sister's Christmas tree last night...

I got a shot in the head from my two-year-old nephew this morning when he yelled "Look, My Santa Claus came!" and dropped a present right on top of my forehead.

And I got socks AND underwear. Not one, not the other, but BOTH. So THERE! :P

Actually, it hasn't been that bad a Christmas for me (compared to most). Most people realized that I just wanted to be left alone, so I got...left alone. :)

Oooh. You all sound like you're having fun. ;) Let's see... I got woken up at 2 am, then again at 5 am by my puppy. Then I had to separate the full grown schipperke from the puppy while the big one looked over his new bed. After that I had to chase the small one down outside because she escaped while I let the big one out. I finally got her back in and the first thing she headed for was the stockings. She got a candy cane and again, I got to have another jog all over the place. She finally fell asleep on the big dog's new bed (and even though it is his, I wasn't about to wake her up). Then everyone else came downstairs, we opened half the gift until the terror woke up. BAM, 3 presents instantly unwrapped and shredded to perfection. I'm just glad they were in thick boxes or she would have killed the inside. Finally at 9 am we ate breakfast while she went back to sleep, finished the presents, and got everything tucked away. I got a nifty swivel chair and the soundtrack to the game I wanted (my grandparents get confused at anything more advanced than cassette tapes). Overall a pretty good x-mas (and quite tiring).
