I'm using calculator occasionally.

But since Aychamo said above, he will be incorporating an application launcher into the plugins functionality, I think I could loose the button in the utilities window.

As soon as I get done with this "school ****" this semester.. I have planned the following additions:

wow holy **** lol. I just did this medical care thing where I volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium with the Sea Otter Research and Conservation program (what a mouthful... how about just SORAC). I learned all about how to inject sea otters with meds and how to decipher medical information.... All I can remember thinking about durning the technical part (where we learned about the meds themselves, dosages, etc.) was how glad I was that I am taking engineering and not medicine of any kind in school lol. That was only a super super simple beginners thing too!!

So now that I got an extremely (and i mean extremely) small dosage of what you are going though... I feel for you man.

Yeah man, it sucks really bad sometimes. What's killing me now is the studying. It's been so frustrating because ever since this semester started winding down, I haven't been able to really take any time for myself. I had one dead weekend, and the rest is just pure studying.... and I hate studying so much

It's amazing all the things I find myself doing instead of studying. Just 10 more days and I'll be done with this semester, and have a nice & very needed break! I just make myself feel better by telling myself "I am a professional student. This is my job right now, so just do it."

So the SORAC, do you do it actually at the aquarium or what? I love that kind of stuff man. I always wanted to get involved in that kind of stuff, but we never had many opportunities where I grew up. Are sea otters in low populations? What kind of meds do yall give them?

hahaha yeah I am the ultimate procrastinator too lol. I get into a lot of trouble though because of it... I could get really good grades if i applied myself more. I just cant seem to get myself to sit down the study for prolonged periods of time lol.

ha, well I am indeed part of the program but I am only just a volunteer. Bacically what I do is just take care of sea otters that we find stranded. lol its really just a lot of feeding and cleaning. I do help with administering drugs to otters for parasites or diseases as well.

The sea otters around here were in extremely low populations a while ago due to hunting for their fir. Their population is increasing and right now its at pretty high numbers. However, the population is not very healthy right about now, something to do with lack of food supply, or poor food choice I think.

Obviously things are more complex than that but I dont want to write it all down lol.

Hey man!

You are in undergrad engineering, right? Is there anyway you can do research with the sea ottesr at your undergrad institude and get credit for it? It sure seems like your in a nice position to do that!

hey all this talk is starting to sound fishy!

hmm never thought about it... might be an idea though. But like I said, biology/medicine is not my strong suit

. I basically work at the aquarium just because its something to do lol.

EDIT: Actually I think I have to take biology as a general ed. class anyway... So yeah probably could lol.

Question:

Is *anyone* using the "Use iTunes visuals" option? It seems completely worthless to me because AMP can't communicate it's audio with iTunes, and thus it just looks like ....
