it’s been so long since i updated. i need to get back to writing some real content… think i’ll put it on my calendar…
quakecon was alot of fun. i went in without any expectations, and it really turned out to be a good relaxing time. jason even came up from work friday night.
this weekend, hambone and i went out to rogcon to watch the hardworkshop. it was interesting. i remember when quakecon was that small. my advice to the rogcon guys would be to offset the quakecon even, by holding their weekend-o-games in the late fall (it’s not like texas fall’s hold much bad weather).
anyway, back to a work week. all of the directors and senior managers are at a staff retreat this week, so it should be pretty quiet around the office. hopefully i’ll get some good time to push some PCI stuff on through. the PCI compliance audit we’re doing has generated a lot of work. not hard work, but very time consuming work. our deadline is august 31. i’m sure i’ll be putting in some serious hours over the next few weeks. then, the second week of september, i’m off to london for a week to assist in the office move going on. i’m looking foward to going to london, i’m not looking foward to the travel.
mandy got a d-300 this weekend. she was messing around tonight and snagged this picture.
we went walking around the stockyards tonight, i’ll get my pictures up sometime soon…
happy monday, talk to you real soon.

been really busy lately. took a trip to houston and i’ve done a ton of stuff at work since the wedding. i’m diggin married life, i’ll get a real life update up here soon. for now, here’s a picture to prove i’m still alive.
i’ve been working on the wireless link between our office buildings this week. they have decided to replace our wireless antennas tomorow. we are in one floor of the tall building and connect fiber gigabit to fiber gigabit across this wireless link. last night i setup a laptop on the roof with a bucket to cover it through the horrible weather we had. everything worked great and helped me collect enough log files to cut down the time needed for troubleshooting the link. the hot and humid weather has not been the funnest thing to work in this week, but i feel like i’ve lost 10 pounds in sweat.
like i said, a real update is coming soon.

i did not do a lot over this thanksgiving break.
tuesday was mine and mandy’s anaversary so we had a nice diner out a lone for once and walked around bed bath and beyond talking about ideas of things to register for, for wedding showers and what not. wednesday night, mandy and i took her dad to the hockey game. mandy had given me a brenden morrow jersey for our anaversary so i had to sport it, even though i was so cold.
we spent most of our thanksgiving day at mandy’s parents relaxing. my family went to arkansas and mandy and i decided to stay home to save the money on $3 per gallon gas. after thanksgiving, mandy and i spent some good time relaxing.
i agreed to keep an eye on my sisters dog over the weekend so other than relaxing on the couch at home, i was over at her house playing on the wii, while chonci sat and wondered why i was flaling about like a drunken fool.
today was mandy’s birthday and her and i went by a park in hurst to take some pictures. tonight i round up the boys and nina and we met for diner at on the border. they brought mandy a birthday browney with ice cream that she was unable to enjoy because she is allergic to nuts. (yeah, yeah, i don’t know why she’s with me either.)
i’m sad thinking that i must return to a real week of work tomorow. i have not had a real week of work in the office since before my trip to california. oh well, take care everyone, happy month end. christmas will be upon us soon.

i’ve been up since 4. i just could not get back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. so, i got up and started working on my computer and now i cant get it to boot into windows. bleh… oh well.
i uploaded a bunch of pictures to my flickr, go check them out.

i’ve been so busy with work and just trying to keep up recently that i’ve neglected this site and my other sites like flickr and facebook. work has been going well for the most part. we have a lot of really cool projects coming up that are really going to beef up the resume part, but are also really going to be a learning experience. it’s the kind of work that consumes the work day but really keep you interested in coming back to see what else is new.
mandy and i have been doing great. she got an apartment in the same complex as mine. she’s literally a walk across the parking lot now. she’s been really busy at work recently too, but we both went and joined 24 hr fitness last week, hoping it would motivate us to get out of the apartment and help us focus on our health more. we both get 5 50 minute training sessions with a personal trainer to start. i have a feeling she will sign up for more when those are done, just to help keep her motivated and help her keep goals set to be reached. not because she does not want to go, but because she is easily goal oriented.
anyways, it’s time for bed. we’re moving part of our office to a building across the way from our current one now. so we’re setting up a wireless link like the one below between the two buildings. in the end, it will look a lot like this, but more the size and shape of a pizza box when it’s up.
one of those guys is my boss, the other is our unix systems admin.
