I think the title says it all... But let me explain a bit, just because I like ranting.

So... Back in the beginning of May, Sarah and I decided we'd try out Verizon Online DSL for Internet service at our new house, rather than Road Runner from Time Warner, as the DSL service was $15 per month cheaper than what we were previously paying. This ( Read more... )

Moving update:

Last weekend, Sarah's parents came up, and along with a couple friends, we moved most of our stuff from Troy to Schenectady, while dodging torrential downpours. We got a lot done, but not everything.

This weekend, we moved almost everything else, including my servers and my desk. I knew that the desk itself fit inside my Civic, ( Read more... )

I went to my parents' house for the weekend for Mother's Day.

Friday, I left work and drove straight to Elizabeth, NJ, to go to the IKEA to pick up a new dresser for the new house. Sarah and I had already found one that we liked on IKEA's website, so all I really needed to do was look at it in person (to make sure it's as nice as we thought it was ( Read more... )

So... I'm sitting here watching the Yankees beat up on the Red Sox (as it should be), and I've noticed that corporate sponsorship is really getting out of hand. It started with companies buying up stadiums and renaming them. That was annoying in and of itself. But now they're buying game ELEMENTS.

Here are some examples:

• "This call to the ( Read more... )

I'm bored, and I have a minute at work, so I guess that means you all get an update.

Thursday, I stopped by the new house to check on some stuff, and much to my surprise, there was a nice big, dripping bulge in the bathroom downstairs. After some quick investigation, I could not determine what was the cause, so I just shut off the water. Later, ( Read more... )

You ever have one of those days where you're awake, but you feel like you're still asleep? Yeah, that's me, right now. Don't know why, either. I got a decent night's sleep.

Anyway, after a series of annoying delays, my "new" server is now up and running in its new home. I say "new" server because it's not really new... it's a used Sun Netra t1 ( Read more... )

This was a good weekend.

Friday, I decided to take off from work, since I really didn't feel all that good on Thursday, and I wanted to be around for the closing anyway. Turned out my presence was actually somewhat important, due to an unplanned compilcation. The closing went pretty smoothly, though. After the closing, Sarah, her parents, and I ( Read more... )

Wow... Today is exactly two years from when Sarah and I started dating. I can't believe it. I'm so happy.

I love you, Sarah.

Wow... It's been two months since I updated. Sorry...

So, let's see, what's new... Um...

I theoretically have a new contract at work. I should be starting my new position on the Disaster Recovery team for GE Energy in the next few weeks. The details are still a little sketchy. I should be getting a raise, too.

Sarah and I are moving to a new ( Read more... )

I got left my apartment at about 7:15 this morning to clean the snow off my car... 7:25-ish I was on the road. Usually, that would get me to work around 7:50... Today... 9:05. It took me an hour and 40 minutes to get to work. 45 minutes of that was on the 5 mile HIGHWAY section of Rt. 7. Holy crap...

In other news... I got a new computer ( Read more... )
