informing the world, one post at a time

I have a question and truly hope you might be able to give me a hand. Feel free to leave your ideas in the comments of this blog posting, and no idea is to stupid. I would really like your help.
Here is my situation. My girlfriend and I are on a network with a net-gear router. This net-gear router goes into starband equipment to pass us to the internet. Well, starband is a sat-alight internet company, and sadly is the only internet that’s around here we can use. I personally don’t like the fact that we get a 2GB Download bye 300MB Upload limit seven day rolling period, average for $69.95,however, if i want internet i can’t complain. Anyways, a bit more information. Me and my girlfriend live with her parents. Sometimes, we want to talk about stuff that we don’t want anyone else to here. So, typically we would send each other IM’s on either msn/yahoo/gtalk/facebook/myspace/aim and talk that way. See, we both use mac computers and use adium for our instant messaging needs.
Now to the problem, when our internet goes out either because of our limits being reached or because of bad weather situations, and i have something i need to say to her, i normally have to some how signal to her that we should go talk in the other room. My “Winking” at her or gesturing toward her typically isn’t the easiest to do, me being blind and all, and her signaling to me is completely out of the question… That and us randomly getting up and walking out of the room will just cause it to seem like were hiding something. So what i was thinking is is there a server, jabber or such, that could do the following:
a: Be installed locally. I would use this on any network that were on with each other, however normally this would be used on our own home personal network. I was thinking to “Install” locally, that would be able for me to install it on my mac.
b: Have the ability to be configured. I would figure that i would need to configure this server. Either web interface, i would prefer, or conf files i could edit bye hand. I however, would hope there was good documentation for that particular server and how to configure it.
C: could be used with adium. The software that adium supports can be viewed at, www.adiumx.com and i believe Jabber is one of those features.
This doesn’t need anything fancy, it doesn’t need to do voice or video, it’s just something we can use for basic text conversations. I do await your ideas and suggestions. Also, if you have a friend who might be able to give me a hand with this, let them know that I’m looking for there ideas.
Thanks a lot for reading, and as i previously said, any ideas will be accepted.
thanks
Michael

after some arguments with us, i wasn’t quite nice to her when she got back, were ok. I love sleeping with her, and hey maybe the fact that i thought someone else was sleeping with her made me jealous? I’m not quite sure, however, i haven’t slept in to 10 in, god, i don’t remember. I missed her, was jealous, however, am glad she’s back.
Anyways sabrina’s in bed, so I’m going to cuddle with her when she gets up, might go back in and give her random kisses, she seemed to like that:)
Oh and the bare i got her? It sure the hell wasn’t worth $25. I would have said $10, however, if it made her smile like it did then I’d pay $50 for it. The flowers got thrown away? Well, i herd that they made her smile, so that’s good and it doesn’t matter now.
Anyways talk at you all later.
mike

well all, this posting i think is going to give sabrina a complex, but i have to do it. Sabrina’s going to be here n about 2 and a half hours. Then I’m going to guess she’s going to unpack her stuff, well, hey who am i kidding? She’s going to take her stuff to the living-room, and then sit down on the couch, lol, nah i don’t know going to talk about everything. Eddie, Baby’s, Our relationship, etc etc etc. So yeah, i’ll let you all know what’s going on when i know as well:D
thanks
mike

This is a test of the ping-Press plugin. What it should do, i hope, is post a message to my ping.fm account informing all my friends on facebook, myspace, twitter, and brightkite that i have just posted a new blog. If you got this via ping.fm, myspace, facebook, twitter, or brightkite, please state so in the comments field.
thanks
mike

So after all that we have gone threw sabrina still wants a baby. I had told her that i don’t know that i will want one tell I’m twenty for. I however, wouldn’t mind. Well, i would mind, it’s just, i don’t know. I want the baby to be brought into the world with parents who are at least happy with each other, and that can trust each other. Right now i don’t feel that were there. However, i told her that we would talk about babies and see where that goes, so i guess we will see. Lets get this Eddie thing figured out first and then we’ll talk about babies, that’s if there still is a “We”.
mike

just a quick blog to tell you all that i called sabrina this morning. I thought i was being nice, oh this is after a half an hour texting her, anyways i thought i was being cute and calling her. Never the less, eddie all ready called her, Maybe i should just tell her to go to him? Oh wait i tried that but she said she didn’t want him, wondering still why the hell not? Lol. I also found out from her today that eddie in fact was not going to a new hotel last night like she had told me. And Eddie’s roommate was “Having sex” at 05:30AM this morning. I could believe it, however, how, convenient that he would be “Having sex” right before sabrina left. I don’t know what’s going to happen with us, but i hope we can talk and make it work. I almost keep expecting her to txt me and say, “Oh i forgot but Eddie’s coming home with me to”, lol.
mike

So i was listening to random music on my ipod, trying to find something to put me to sleep. And before you all make fun of me yes, i do have britney spears new c.d. on my ipod, and yeah, i do like it, got a problem with it?
Well i found this song, and honestly thought it expresses my feelings toward sabrina very clearly. This song honestly is how i feel, and i am sure i could put it better, but it’s bloody late and i just wanted to post so you all know, this is a good song, and i like it. Hmm, maybe find the instrumental to it eh?
anyways here you go.

Britney Spears – Unusual You

Nothin’ about you is typical
Nothin’ about you’s predictable
You got me all twisted and confused
(It’s so you)
Up ’til now, I thought I knew love
Nothin’ to lose and it’s damaged ’cause
Pattern to fall as quick as I do
(But now)

Bridges are burnin’
Baby, I’m learnin’
A new way of thinking now
Love, I can see
Nothing will be
Just like it was
Is that because

Baby, you’re so unusual
Didn’t anyone tell you you’re s’posed to
Break my heart, I expect you to
So why haven’t you?
Maybe you’re not even human ’cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise I could get used to
Unusual you

Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah

Been so many things when I was someone else
Boxer in the ring, tryin’ to defend myself
And the private eye to see what’s goin’ on
(That’s long gone)
When I’m with you, I can just be myself
You’re always where you say you will be
Shocking, ’cause I never knew love like this
Could exist

Tables are turnin’
My heart is soarin’
You’ll never let me down
Answer my call
Here after all
Never met anyone
Like you

Baby, you’re so unusual
Didn’t anyone tell you you’re s’posed to
Break my heart, I expect you to
So why haven’t you?
Maybe you’re not even human ’cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise I could get used to
Unusual you

Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah

Can’t believe that I
Almost didn’t try
When you called my name
Now everything is changed

Baby, you’re so unusual
Didn’t anyone tell you you’re s’posed to
Break my heart, I expect you to
So why haven’t you?
Maybe you’re not even human ’cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise I could get used to
Unusual you

Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
Ah-ah, ah ah
