This Holiday Life

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

Last night was a fun night at The Gathering. John gave the sex talk, which is one of the best sex talks I’ve heard. You can hear it (once it’s posted as Part 5) here. Reminds me of Jim Pace from [nlcf]’s story about how the first two times he ever gave a talk about […]

Slower than a tortoise

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

This week has been productive but busy at work. I’m in the process of replacing one of the machines that I use on a daily basis right now. It’s been running on a 5+ year old machine that’s outlasted its useful life. A build that takes over an hour on the server takes less than […]

Blacksburg review

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

Once again, I’ve managed to slip into a cycle that doesn’t include posting. Blacksburg was fun last weekend, everything except getting a ticket on the 460 bypass coming into town. What really sucks about that is I was in the right lane going the same speed as the other cars, but I’m the one they […]

Week in review

Friday, June 24th, 2005

It’s been a fun week. Kinda. I moved my desk at work down the hall at work (not my choice), but it’s ended up being completely anticlimatic. Made lots of progress on my current project at work. Had an awesome service on prayer Wednesday night at The Gathering. The main downside was dealing with Verizon […]

Verizon sucks

Friday, June 24th, 2005

I’m trying to move my home phone line from Verizon to Verizon wireless, while keeping my Verizon DSL. Doesn’t seem so hard, does it? So far, I’ve spent about 10 hours on the phone and we’re still nowhere. They cut the DSL. I have a cellphone with the same number as the still active land […]

Batman Begins

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

I just got back from an evening of fun. Went up to Adventure Park USA near Frederick, MD with some friends from The Gathering. On the way back, some of us decided to make a detour to a theater and catch a showing of Batman Begins. The movie was excellent. In fact, I’d have to […]

Beyond a reasonable doubt

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

MJ is free. The key words from the jurors were “beyond a reasonable doubt.” I’m glad that the circus is over and the spectators are leaving. Yes, Jacko has a lot of issues. I mean a 47 year old sharing his bed with pre-teens is just plain stupid. But the kid with cancer’s mother is […]

Getting this thing started . . .

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Some of you who have known me for years will remember that I first started my web site sometime during my junior or senior year of high school. Senior year, I overhauled the site into more of a blog. I wrote all the HTML for it myself during geosystems one day, including the first post. […]
