Well, I'm back.

I've been on a little E2 sabatical, and I realized, that I do still like this place. I've missed a lot of the random goofy conversations, yet somehow, I see that they still center around the same topic, Soy!

I've been working hard these last few weeks, I've been in the middle of a couple of projects. One of these projects, is that I am in charge of the ordering and configuring of a new server. I actually have been enjoying this task. The machine will be ordered this week, and I will be here this weekend, or next to set this puppy up.

My other project, lies in my UT server, it is down, and I am upgrading the hell out of it. The parts finally arrived last week. I was so excited when they came, I stopped cooking dinner, and immediately started working on the machine. 2 733mhz processors, 2 20GB ATA100 mirrored set drives, 3 30GB ATA100 RAID5 drives, and over a GB of RAM. All components running on 133mhz bus, and screaming…

All I can really say today is that, I hate "Single's Awareness Day".

Seems like I'm almost always single for Valentine's Day. I have been for the past four years, I guess that's all that matters at this point.

I do actually hope that everyone out there in E2 land, does have a good V-Day.

It happened again...

I talked to my best friend from highschool, Ronny, yesterday.
He's going to be a father in 5 months. The woman to which he has planted his seed, already had 4 children.
His twin, Randy, is getting married in September.
I've been out of touch with them for a year and this hits me all at once.

I will soon be the last single person I know.
*sigh*

I did it!

I finished my project for work.
*sigh*
Now I better get a big raise or this place can kiss me and the project goodbye, I'm not above deleting the project if my raise request is refused.
Does that make me a bad person?

I got a Playstation 2 today, and yes, I think it was worth the wait. The graphics are truly stunning, and the DVD player apart from wanting a password everytime you want to watch a movie, is excelent. If you want a good gaming system and you want a DVD Player, get one of these gems.

Shank (thing)

The long extending part of a spur that holds the rowel out away from the foot. The shank could also be used as a weapon for stabbing, and a handle for using the spur as a hammer.
