I haven’t been posting much lately. I apologize for that. There is one DVD I watched I haven’t posted a review for yet. Gotta do that. There have been other things going on. Haven’t posed about those. And I haven’t posted interesting articles I’ve seen online in it seems like ages. Things have just been busy.

Work is very busy now. (Not that posting while at work is good anyway… Hi Llew!) When I get home there is moving related stuff to be done and I am way behind on my personal email as well as dozens of projects I try to work at while at home. So, very little blogging of late.

Oh well, some other things come first… as they should.

I haven’t posted all that much lately, so here are a variety of short notes to make up for it.

• Even though it is not on the menu, the coffee place at work does White Chocolate Mochas. This is a good thing.
• The wireless network at home has suddenly gone flaky over the last few days, so AbulWiki has been available intermittantly. Looks like the base station is flaking out. Will probably replace it. Of course, that machine should have a wired connection anyway, but we still need the wireless for other things.
• Everybody is sick at home except for me at the moment. Some kind of flu thing it seems. I’m sure I will be next.
• Roscoe is doing great and is learning how to behave as we expect, but he will still go to real training classes soon. He is a hoot though. Very funny dog. Very playful. Very loving.
• Amy’s school is great. She gets up excited to go in the morning, and we have to drage her out in the afternoon.
• Having money again is great. Just have to avoid the temptation to buy EVERYTHING all at one time…
• [Self-Censored]
• Waiting for news that you need before you can move forward on something sucks.
• Brandy continues to slog through the VA health system to have them properly deal with what the Navy broke
• Haven’t commented much on current events lately, but most are depressing.
• Work is good, but I have to beat whatever has been making me tired and groggy the last couple weeks, it is slowing me down. Two prime suspects: Lack of sleep, allergy meds. Am working on adjusting both. And drinking more coffee.
• Having a kid in prep school is interesting, as most of the friends (specifically their families) seem to be independantly wealthy, many of the “I joined Microsoft in the 80s” variety. This is not a bad thing or a good thing though… just interesting.
• My boss at work just got a new team reorged under him. In the short term I’ll probably do a bunch with that team as well as the folks I have been working with, but in the long term that team will proabably hire their own me.
• As of last night my computer at home is fully backed up and has an automated daily backup running to mirror the whole internal drive to an external drive for the first time since early January. This makes me feel much more secure. It is still only onsite backup though, I’ll have to come up with a good off-site backup solution as well, but this is a major step forward.
• Fishalump
• Antihypersyllabicsesquipedalian
• We picked a rental house to apply for last week. Theoretically we should know today if we got it. If so, we may be moving again within days, which will be good, cause the current place sucks with three people, a dozen or two fish, three birds a skink and a dog. It was fine with one person, but more… nope.
• I’ve never gotten into the RSS habit for some reason. Perhaps I’ll try again someday.
• I don’t watch much TV any more.
• I’m still way behind on things I want and or need to do at home. I’m trying to catch up each night, but never seems to happen.
• The meeting I was waiting for is starting, so I will stop.
