Yes, you read that right. I do love technology.
Just not right now.
In the last two days I've had to deal with
On a poker front, I've been trying to build my bankroll. Again. My new mantra is a quote from Iggy, the genius of viral marketing:
So now that my confidence in poker has been (somewhat) restored, I'm going to go and donate...errr....play in my favourite home game tonight, the Mookie (see sidebar for details). I have loved this game from the first moment I hit it with Waffles. It's the only friendly home game I've placed first in, and twice in a row at that. Of course, it was a much easier game to win back before all the damn bloggers showed up *grin.
Blogger games = +EV for fun, -EV for $. But sometimes (and definitely only sometimes), you need the fun. And after this week bay-bee, I needs me some fun! So hit me up in the girlie chat tonight and we'll have some laughs and IM-a-shots!
Just not right now.
In the last two days I've had to deal with
- the computers that were stolen, and all the data that the users did NOT back up to the server as it was "too sensitive" even though I have set up a password protected area for just those files. Which they never used. And even though they did not EVER back up their files on their computers, under their logins, it's somehow my error.
- finding the serial numbers of the stolen computers for the police. Even though there is no way on gods green earth these machines will ever be recovered, and we all know it.
- specifying and ordering replacements
- working on the set up of the new Xerox networked printer that arrived Friday, and also setting up the accounts and training staff on it.
- the wireless dropping out and 2 hubs malfunctioning
- and the icing on the cake; my home wireless doesn't seem to like Full Tilt for some reason and keeps choking on it.
On a poker front, I've been trying to build my bankroll. Again. My new mantra is a quote from Iggy, the genius of viral marketing:
Play cash games for the dough, blogger games for the fun.OR as stated in this simple mathematical equation:
(EV + fun) + (EV - $) = blogger gamesSince Friday, I've managed to play at least 2 hours/day on a .10/.25 NLHE ring game and am averaging $12/hour. And it feels good.

I think I have just enough left in my FT account for the Mook... but I have a live itch that I may scratch instead. Especially since my online game of late could teach a toothless hooker a thing or two about sucking.
Check out Chipper's Blog (http://chipperspokerworld.blogspot.com//) in his September and October archives he had trouble with Sun Poker and Full Tilt connectivity. May or may not help.
He's a techy, too.
Good luck in the Mook.
