Windows 8 Woah's

I made the move to Windows 8 and it's a very fast loading OS this is true but I'm having some issues with it nothing major and most-likely it'll be fixed soon, for starters I plug in my headset and nothing, nada it detects the mic but does not play sound through the headphones.

Issue two, I really don't like having to leave the desktop to go to a whole new screen to pick a different program/app to use it's a royal pain... this is not saving me time it's costing me time so I work around it by keeping a few programs running.

Issue number three, Firefox tabs appear to reopen even after I close the tabs and exit the browser this is very annoying because two tabs are Youtube and the videos start playing on their own. This uses up my data on my MyFi device. Plus the fact that I lost all my saved passwords and bookmarks really sucks which is funny I reinstalled Firefox in a new directory which did not fix the issue even running it from where Windows moved my old Windows files does not pull it up.

About My Site

I've been working on my website, making some much needed changes like removing all those pesky premade automatic articles, and adding some of my own work, more pictures, jokes, links, and some on. I still have a ton of work to do but it's comming together nicely and I should have another twenty articles made and ready to post by the end of August.

Loans Why Am I So Dumb

I've got three loans not counting the home loan. Two of them have such high intrest rates that I don't think I'll ever pay them off unless I come up with the full payoff, I need a good kick in the butt for being so stupid once again.

Work Goes On and On

I'm still working on RobAtchison.com and everything seems to be going well, I'm also working on some lens over at Squidoo. I'm also starting to refresh my Blogger sites as well as any WordPress blogs I have.

My goal with all of the free blogs and other sites, comments, and articles is to get more traffic going to my main site but still provide orginal content on the rest of my sites...

I'm also striving to make more money online through affiliate & social marketing. I know it sounds like a long shot but that's what I'm going for, it's going to be a lot of work but should be worth it.

Working on RobAtchison.com

I'm doing more and more work to my website and it's comming alomg nicely. I over 55 posts at this time with almost a dozen drafts in the works, still so much work to do but it's cool everything is working very well so far.

My Newest Site

If you stumble across this site please know that I've stopped all work on it and now run a site at http://robatchison.com well most work anyway.

Some Where In The Middle

Today I'm some where in the middle of being rich and flat broke depending on how you look at it, but from where I'm standing it's more twords the broke side.

Laid up boats and firewatch, what a joke.

I've been living on this laid-up vessel for going on three weeks now and working on a fleet tug at night. Well there are two guys that are on this thing all the time, talk about slobs. They leave dishes in the sink for days... hell there has been a pot in the sink and a pan on the stove for a week.

Air in my room is fine after midnight but it gets about 90° in it during the day so when I get off the tug at 5am I can get about five hours of sleep before it gets too hot. Even when I take a shower I feel dirty around there, it takes me almost half an hour to shower due to the lack of any real water pressure.

To say this really sucks is an understatement which is putting it mildly. At least working nights it has been really slow in the fleets so i've had a lot of time to do some thinking about money, business, life, and games. I know that I don't really have it all that bad when I really look at things but I can't help but think that life could be so much better if I could make $200,000 - $500,000 or even $1,000,000 a year.

But all that's another story right now

World of Warcraft = Good ole Wasted Time, but I like it!

I play World of Warcraft a lot even when I should be doing other things like building shelves for the house, painting, working on my online training which I could finish in a day or two if I wanted. I work a fulltime job that keeps me away from my wife and kids for a month at a time but its all good because I get to spend a month at home with them, I just have to get my ass off the computer more.

Im somewhat addicted to the game but its better than being on drugs. It costs a little but hey when I was single I used to spend $300 or more in one night between casinos and stripclubs.
