Home improvement, what a fun, fun, fun, time consuming activity. Okay, its not too fun sometimes and it takes a lot of time. Anyway I ripped up the old flooring. And I use the term ripped because the wood was so brittle and wet it basically broke apart when I pulled it up. Took a good 2+ hours too. Part of the problem was there were screws holding it down that can’t be removed with a screwdriver and are very very rusty but its gone. I was surprised though at how wet it is, and I found another floor underneath! I can’t believe that, it was pretty funny. Made me really think though about how much additional work this is. But it must be done. Pictures of new floor to remove included below…
The asbestos removal company is also done, but I’m not too happy with my subfloor, lots of suspected water damage (that is probably pretty old..):

Looks like another Credit Card Processing company has lost customer information including names, credit card numbers, security codes, etc. Linkage. And again, its the fault of hackers that your information was lost. But what I want to know is, why don’t they have better security for this type of information? Or maybe they shouldn’t store it for long long periods of time on a computer (paper in a safe maybe?) so that would prevent a hacker or deranged employee from letting this information out? I always wonder.

I have over 1100 comments to go through, most look like spam. Will it ever stop?

Also, my zune died yesterday, it made me sad. But now its running again, but I imagine it’ll break soon though. My reasoning is that I turned it on with half a charge and held it up to my ear. What I heard was the Zune crying which meant the hard drive was probably spinning and doing nothing which could degrade its quality. But hey, I got it for 95 bucks at woot.com so I shouldn’t complain…. too much.

And what I want to know is.. why are the 'big-wigs' meeting behind closed doors when the taxpayers footing the bill are very upset about the whole mess and would like to see some transparency and release of facts about this?
