hi all, long time no write. i’ve been keeping pretty busy lately. amy and i finally finished painting the bedroom. it only took 4 weekend … eheheh … a bit longer than i thought it would but it looks really amazing. i am very happy with how it turned out. we’re planning on moving into the family room next. we’re thinking of a beige faux finish of some kind in there. not sure which finish, but one of those.


amy and i were in michigan for a baby shower for our friend mike and lori. we had a really good time at the shower and hanging out with ellis and christina. we should be home again for x-mas. i can’t believe we’re already at that time of year.


i’ve been pretty darn busy at work lately. between development, support, and filling my bosses shoes i’ve been not only working a lot but learning a lot. can’t beat being thrown in the trenches for a learning experience.


it never fails, head hunters can find you anywhere you change jobs to. it might have something to do with my website though. back to getting at least one call per week with job offers or people looking for references or people with a certain skillset.


i’m selling my dell poweredge server so if you know anyone on the market for a 1u server that is 1 year old and has a 1GHz pIII cpu, 512 mb sdram, 9.2gb hard drive, 10000 rpm scsi, cd-rom, floppy, video, and dual ethernet please let me know. ii’m looking for something a little more home friendly with less fans. actually all i’m really in need of is a network storage device like the linksys etherfast instant gigadrive. it’s an 80gb drive with an expansion slot for another 120GB drive, built in print server, and dhcp. not to shabby … no one else seems to have another device like this with a decent price point though. i was also looking at the new maxtor personal storage 5000xt 250gb firewire/usb external drive. it has some cool backup software that integrates with it. anyhow, it’s all up in the air until i sell the box though.


we’re planning on finishing our wedding registry this coming weekend. tonight we have a meeting with the priest, hope i don’t get hit with lightning when i walk into the church.


apple released some new drool ware today. a new ibook and powerbook. basically it’s a processor and parts upgrade. the powerbook also received a sexy upgrade of a slot loading super drive (dvd and cd burner). some day i’ll own one. maybe when i sell my server and get a small upgrade to my pc (video card and the network drive) then i can start saving for an apple. we’ll see, we have way to many higher priority things going on right now. but i do have to say that these machines are scccchhhwwwweeeeeetttttt.


working out is kind of iffy this week … it was better last week. with work my hours are screwed but my eating has been great. failing in one spot doing good in the other. amy and i had a heart to heart on this a week or so ago. we are both getting on track and kicking ass. it’s so nice to have someone there that loves you and supports you when you need them. even if it is to give you a nice kick in the ass. love ya sweetie !!!


looking for some small web projects if anyone has any, give me a shout.


still playing earth and beyond when i’m relaxing. amy recently started playing the sims online beta.


that’s all for now, see ya.
