I slept in today which was pretty stressful because it made me late for work.  Work was fairly uneventful except for this afternoon when I met with Ningyu to talk about a mentoring relationship.  We tossed around some ideas and then discussed an enterprise-wide problem to be solved.  He wants me to do my own [...]

After getting into work today I walked across the street to the training center for an architecture presentation in the auditorium.  The presenters talked about the future technologies that we will be focusing on. Once that was over I called Casey to arrange to be picked up for lunch since it was around 11:40am at [...]

There were no meetings today which was awesome.  As I was leaving work I got a killer headache.  So when I got home I took some Tylenol and laid down.  Jennifer got home about fifteen minutes after I did and was really nice and gave me a temple massage.  I drank lots of water, grabbed [...]

Jen made a quiche with spinach, tomato, cheese, and onions for breakfast this morning. It was very good! Next we went shoe shopping for Jen. I think she needed shoes for a wedding. While she was in the boring shoe store I went next-door and bought some pen ink refills for my favorite cross pens. [...]

Jen was over in Woodstock all day long shopping with Katie and her Mom. I moved the old 400GB HD to the linux box and reallocated the /home partition over to that drive since the old one was running out of space.  I house all of the mp3s and downloaded stuff on shares in the [...]

After a lunch at ‘Which Which’, we stopped over at Casey’s house to demo his new D-Link media center thing.  It’s a lot like the XBOX XBMC but commercialized.  It seems to work pretty well. I had my performance review with Carole.  Afterwards I talked with Alonzo about promotion possibilities.  I also talked with Ningyu [...]

Today was pretty busy with work I was doing on the PCI encryption effort.  Jen had plans to hang out with Katie after work and I got a call from Clint and Erin to go with them to a Georgia Tech basketball game.  They drove.  It was a lot of fun and I’m happy they [...]

The TomTom GPS unit that Jen got me was great, but we noticed that it didn’t have voice-read street names and so I did a search for something else that would fit the bill.  I found the Garmin Nuvi 350 which looked great.  It has a smaller form factor making it more portable for when [...]

When I woke up this morning it was bright and sunny out. I was excited to get outside and enjoy the day. I rinsed off in the shower, changed, and we went out. It was pretty deserted this early – I guess because today is a Monday. I’ve never been to St. Maarten on a [...]

We woke up at 6am and got ready to head out to the airport because we were already packed it wasn’t such a big deal. We drove down to the airport, parked, checked in at the new employee check-in place. Checking in only took seven minutes. We listed ourselves as S2 and were seated apart [...]
