I've been pretty busy lately with work and my new weekend activity, working at the Houston SPCA. It's really great and it gives me time to be outside and getting exercise. My plan was to work in their barn just mucking stalls or grooming horses or whatever. However, you need to complete 20 hours in another area within the place and then you're on a wait list to work in the barn. I guess that's okay, they make you work with large dogs, which is fine by me, but I guess I'm not seeing the correlation between large dogs and horses. The largest dog they have there was a German Shepard, which...is probably no bigger then a Shetland pony haha. Oh well, I think I'll enjoy the dog walking and the time being spent outside with some fun dogs.

Work is work. Last week was decent, got to do some IS work...which makes the time go by rather quickly cause you're always working on something...however tickets have definitely been flowing in, I don't think there was a slow point in tickets at all last week. We've started the HG's Biggest Loser contest at work, I've got Chef in my group so that's awesome. I did a bit of working out today actually while watching Jackass. I also finished up another movie, GO which was pretty funny/weird/awesome. I'm also in the process of watching through Bamboo Blade which is actually a lot more fun then I thought it was going to be.

Hung out with my friends the last 2 nights, Matt and Markita. On Friday we got eatz and watched some Top Gear eps at the apartment. Also watched a couple episodes of The Office which I'd never seen, pretty funny though. On Saturday we had chicken pot pie which was amazing, and then watched The Hangover which is amazing. Then we played clue, Matt cheated :) Hahaha.

Today, nothing much going on...I've been having less to do since all these servers are running unusually well lol. Not having to fix shit all the time, Scribbld has been real good on the new server. I need to figure out what we're going to do with the servers in Vermont. I could definitely use Friesian as a media server, buy those 6x1TB drives. Put them in RAID5 probably...whatever will give me the most space with at least 1 okay to fail drive lol.

Been loving the Lancer, I really need to clean her up, hopefully sometime this week it'll be warm enough to do so. Not much else going on this week, I think Chef and I might go out biking one night after work, but depending on the temperature we'll see how that goes. I've gotta get myself into work in about 30 minutes. I can't wait to just come home and relax :P

Life's been nothing short of busy lately. Still trying to figure out which car I want, I mean I know which car I want, but which car I can honestly afford haha. I could probably afford the Evo, but it's a matter of getting someone to co-sign for me for it. My parents likely won't and I doubt anyone else will. My parents said they would probably co-sign for a car $25,000 or so. There's definitely some decent rides out there for that much, so we'll see where that whole thing goes. They'll be down in a couple weeks so that'll be cool.

Works work, nothing really new, been trying to kick as much ass as I can without breaking to many things in the process. Been learning a whole lot of new things which is really great. It sucks, but like 12am or so each night I am pretty much done with tickets and I have no motivation to do more, so I try helping other people with their tickets. I wish I could concentrate on the hard tickets so I could learn more without having to worry about my count.

So apparently this girl on my Facebook who I never really knew how I knew her, well I hosted her pictures and maybe a couple web files back when we were like 13 lol. It's so funny, cause now she's into like web design and computers and stuff, we talked a bit yesterday, she's definitely pretty awesome. She's also from Texas about 8 hours south of me which is pretty awesome too.

I also started talking to this other girl from Scribbld, she's pretty cool, minus having a boyfriend haha. No, just kidding...but it's nice to meet new people.

I am hoping to get out to the range either today or sometime this week to fire off a couple rounds. I am sure it'll relieve some sort of stress. I can't wait to go out with my Dad when they come down, that'll be fun. Pay day is this Thursday/Friday so that'll be great, until it pretty much all goes out to rent...X___x ugh!

Not much else to say...I've gotta figure out what I should do about DeathNote...pain in my ass....I'd love to just get all servers out of Vermont except for maybe 1 or 2...an SSH box and then one web server for local shiz. I've got like $3000 worth of servers sitting there doing nothing which annoys me haha.

Not much going on. Work was eh last night. Some asshole gave me shitty rating, but I guess I kind of deserved them. Fortunately, it was Monday so whatever, I'll just eat that day...it was a particularly crap day anyways. Getting a car is such a pain in the ass. I went to look at a Hummer H3 since it was on this dealers website only to find out it had already been sold...fuckers. Oh well...

Got home and basically just planted myself infront of a movie I've been trying to complete for about a week now haha. It's
Kimi No Tomodachi, decent movie, I dunno why it's taking me so long.

I've been working on my new Ubuntu system, trying to get everything working just right. I think I am pretty much there, however there's a couple remaining issues which I posted on the Ubuntu forums to which of course no one has replied too. Oh well, I may go on the IRC channel and see if anyone has any ideas.

Today nothing is really happening. Just hanging out. Was texting Bethany before, just catching up on things. On chat with Adelaide as well. I guess I might go get some food now, and try to finish that movie haha.

I really really need to install some new moodthemes on SceneJournal haha.

Well, we just added a new DNS server to our network. I dunno what the deal was but OpenDNS wasn't working correctly. The new server will provide DNS for internal servers only, anything else gets re-routed through OpenDNS. So hopefully that works well...woke up poor morgan hehe

Friday didn't work on many things. I went over to Matt W's around 6pm and we watched some Top Gear. Specifically the Lancer episode hehe. However we did watch some of the challenges which were hilarious. I can decide if the camper racing or 18-wheeler challenges were the best LOL. He also had an episode with this little itty bitty car that he took driving around the BBC offices lol Oh I forgot, I went to see Zombieland on Friday haha It was pretty good, I enjoyed it! Ok, so after Top Gear we went out and got pizza and then played some DiRT2. Matt's got a projecter, so it's wicked awesome. I need to get one ASAP. Going to see if Lance will let me borrow one of his to see how well it works in my apartment & with spacing.

Saturday, hung out, working on a new website project. It's going to be pretty cool and I can definitely find myself using it :) Around 3 or so I went out to Chef's so we could go to the range. Stopped by Walmart and they would only sell me 2 boxes of ammo. Wicked fucking stupid if you ask me. OMG...how could I forget...Adelaide called me this morning, haha my alarm clock :) So we talked for a couple hours until my phone finally ran out of battery. Then we chatted online for another hour or so. Ok, so anyways, we went to range and they would only sell me 2 boxes too!! WTF!!! Either way, we had a good time, I love going there.

Came home, and watched some South Park and cleaned my gun. Then worked on my iTunes Library cause I figured out the descriptions for TV shows now work (I would assume the same with movies too). I took a nap around 10pm, woke up around 12am and have been working on iTunes Library crap since and then that DNS issue. Just made some food and some Black Dragon. I think I might grab my Redwall book and read some...or play some Crisis Core. Either way, I'm out! Dunno what's going on tomorrow.

It sure has been a pretty busy weekend!! Thursday night, I pretty much just came home after work and crashed haha. Friday I just hung around the apartment, played some Xbox and worked on a couple network/server things. Then around 9pm Chef and I went out to see Gamer.It was quite a unique movie and I sure wouldn't mind there being something like that Society game in real life!! I am not sure about Slayers, but if the game wasn't with real people but the game itself was damn realistic I would be all over that! All in all, a decent movie. After that went out to the house and hung out there for pretty much the rest of the night. Watched Apocalypse Now which was a really good movie up until they met up with the French people, then it was just flat out boring. I feel like that's the movie that they screened for the soldiers in Jarhead, but I am not 100% sure on that. We started Max Payne but fell asleep before that finished. We also did a food run around 3 or 4am haha.

On Saturday we kind of just lounged around haha. I started Max Payne again, it's a neat movie. I'll probably finish it at some point on my own. I then came back to the apartment (stopped at Walmart and bought some ammo) and grabbed my AR15 and then went back over to the house. Then we went out to the range. Definitely had an awesome time. I put a pic up on Facebook and Chef has a ton on his Facebook. After the range we went back to the house and hung out for a while. Around 8 or so we went over to Dave's. Got to meet his new pups. They're awesome. Unfortunately one of them has a big of a problem with his leg...not good. BBQ'd up some steaks and all, and then pretty much played Rock Band for the rest of the night. It was awesome hanging out with him. I think he's really great, and I'm lad we get along haha. Sure helps! More friends the better!

After that, I came home, maybe played some XBox, can't remember and passed out. Today haven't done much, played some DiRT2, and that's about it haha. Made some pizza, and it's probably done, so off I go!

 been busy with work as usual. The other day I had my Xbox 360 in a billion pieces so I could upgrade the DVD drives firmware. What an event that always is. I have to say, flashing the firmware on your Xbox360 is one thing I definitely dread. It always takes 50x longer then it should and I always hit some sort of snag. I spent half of the day before and half of yesterday getting the damn thing to work properly. Of course once I finish doing it, I realize that it's totally worth it haha

Work was pretty good last night. Chef is back from his vacation so we kicked it during my break. We might go out to the shooting range on Friday which would be awesome. I need to pickup some more ammo since I have 20rnds to my name lol. That'll definitely be fun, he also mentioned that he wants to get a boat, so I told him I'd definitely be down for going out and fishing with him.

I snagged some dinner from the Vietnamese place right next to my apartment. I love the food and they've got bubble tea which is awesome :) Tonight I'm definitely eating Gator food though since Chef is back and he's making some meat tortellini tonight!!

Today not much happened. Just relaxing. I played some Wolfenstein. It's a pretty badass game and I think I will thoroughly enjoy it.

I suppose that's all for now. I've gotta head into work in about an hour an a half. I did about 80 tickets last night, so hopefully I keep up with it :)

Oh yeh, I got the new Saosin album. It's quite excellent.

 Here's some images I got off my iPhone.

( View the Pictures! )
And that about does it for images. I dunno why they're of such huge filesize. It's rather ridiculous if you ask me!

Anyways, life in Houston has been pretty good so far. We got internet and all running finally. I had a bit of time with DiRT 2 yesterday and it really is going to be amazing game. I do wish they had included a bit more in the demo though.

 Well, it's been a bit since I last updated. I've been extremely busy down in TX, getting all settled in and everything. The journey started last Wednesday. My Dad and I started out 2000 mile journey from Vermont to Texas. At the end of the day we had made it down to Virginia. Nothing to eventful, just a ton of driving haha.

On Day #2 we made it down to Louisiana. Again nothing to eventful. One car accident that held us up for an hour but since we gained an extra hour by switching time zones, it had no real effect.

By the third day, Friday, I was definitely ready to be done with the drive. Of course we had like 250 miles left to go, but it went relatively quickly and we actually got to the apartments before I thought we would.

So we checked out the place, I said yes, I love it, did some paperwork and finally moved into my apartment. Boy was it a bitch to carry all my stuff up three flights of stairs haha. After we got all my boxes and stuff into the apartment, we did some food shopping. Then my Dad went back to his hotel and I just kind of chilled out. There was a little community get-together that night and I met up with a couple cool people who are living in the complex as well. One of the guys is the president of one of the local Mac user groups. I told him I was definitely in and am pretty excited to attend one of the meetings. He said it does consist of a bunch of old people, but hey, anyone who is Mac-minded is awesome in my mind. After that little thing, I just headed back into my apartment and passed out.

Saturday and Sunday consisted of spending a ton of money shopping for things for the apartment. I went to Ikea, Best Buy, etc...I did all this with my Dad, we had a ton of fun!

Today, Ikea delivered my bed and all, so I spent a bunch of time setting that all up. Once the bed was setup I promptly fell asleep on it for a few hours. It was nice to get some real good sleep in haha. Last night I just couldn't sleep well, I ended up going to the business center at like 3am haha.

There's a Vietnamese restaurant like right behind my apartment. They make a really good chicken fried rice and they have bubble tea!! I've never had bubble tea but since about 2003 I've been wanting to try it. So I got some strawberry flavored one and I LOVE IT! I'll definitely be heading back there soon, maybe tomorrow for lunch. There's so much close by. Apparently there's 6 Apple stores, tons of Best Buys, Super Walmarts, Targets, Ikea, work is only like 15 minutes away, food of every type, 3 grocery stores. It's really fantastic and I know I am going to love living here. Heat, hurricanes and all.

I also setup my new Garmin GPS today. It's definitely VERY COOL! I got my new Motorola SB6120 modem from Amazon today as well. Hopefully I get my stuff from Small Dog soon as well (new Airport Extreme 802.11n and Airport Express 802.11n). I also ordered up my best friends birthday present and a new card for Xbox LIVE. Was like $40 for a year, so why not hahaha.

I've also been working with my other best friend on Macintosh-Admin.com - it's coming along. Hopefully I got him all setup for SVN/Trac access and web server.

I purchased a license to cPanel this morning since our free trial finally ran out. I am definitely in love with it all and I am glad we're finally using it for web hosting (note it's for a very small customer base - maybe 5-10 users, all from back home).

Looks like our movie rental application is really coming along well. I would like to think we could at least say we're at version 1.0. Client is pretty happy with it too as well and I haven't gotten any issue reports in a while now. In 5 days they will be off support and it'll be 100% live.

All in all, I'm very excited to be making this change. I've uploaded some pics of the new apartment to Facebook. Tomorrow I will take some more and upload them, now that I've actually got some furniture and all setup :) I hope everyone is well!

 I've been super busy lately. We've been trying to complete as much of that movie rental application as we can before I move out to Texas. It's coming along very well. I think we made a really great break-through in terms of not allowing non-in-stock movies to be rented. We just don't allow the rental to go through haha.

I've been searching for apartments, I think I've got one figured out. The place has a 100% rating on some trustworthy apartment rating website. It's also about $200 more then I want to be paying but you know what, if it's a good place, then I don't mind paying a bit extra. I am really hoping this place works out cause it looks really great. Basically I'll know if I am going there as soon as I get some pictures from the people. And hopefully that's today.

I finally moved my buddy over from our old web server to the new managed one. I'll probably be getting a cPanel license within the next week or so, I'll probably do a month to month for the time being. It's working out really great though, although it's coming up with some odd usernames for the actual web box, I'll try to figure it out soon enough.

Not much else is going on...I might go for a bike ride later this afternoon. There's a horse show at the barn on Sunday and I am very excited to see Nippet in it :D That's as long as he gets his feet done today...

That's about it for now. :)
