This December has been crazy. The usual holiday travel and work taking up most of my time. However, the other big thing is moving and that has just sucked the life out of me. So much to do, with so little time. Will update the site once I get settled in.

I had read about WP 2.7 a few weeks ago from Slashdot and had seen the changes made to the dashboard. I just installed and it’s night and day. Not sure exactly how I feel about it, but it does seem a bit more streamlined. Fortunately, all my plugins worked and for the most part the site looks the same. Enjoy the new changes.

The last few months my Sprint bill had been in the multiple of hundreds of dollars. Usually above $300, so I finally decided to switch to their everything plan. $99 dollars + tax for all the calling, texting, and web is an excellent price and I will take full advantage of it. However, it just so happens that I have a corporate discount of 23%. Now, if you do the math, that would be a savings of at least $23 every single month! Yes, doesn’t that rock, simply everything plan for $77 + tax? However, I received my first bill today and the awesome savings came to a total of $0.18. Yes, that cents… 18 cents.
I picked up the phone and got in contact with Sprint (who btw has changed their IVR and gotten rid of ASR). The wonderful agent I spoke with, Christina, informed me that “since the simply everything plan is already so discounted, no further discounts can be applied towards it”. Well, isn’t that grand? In the long run, I will pay less, however I will miss that 23% discount. :(

My one good deed for the day done. :-)

It has been a long while since I’ve had any time to breath. While I enjoy the non-stop days and nights of working all day and rocking all night… well rocking perhaps not, but sleeping yes, it is nice to just take a break. A break where you can just sit, relax, and exhale. This past week my currently project reached a major milestone. Even though we had multi-week delays, we were still able to come through and deliver. At the end of the day, when under the gun, we all realize that sleep is over rated and not really necessary. Now that this date is behind us, we can all go back and ensure everything is configured correctly and ready for production, which comes around in March of 2009. Here are some pics from my last week.
The answer is 7.
I want this sheep!
No relations.

One of my favorite authors passed away recently. I’ve been so consumed by work that I had not even realized it. He was a great author and I absolutely loved his books.
1. Andromeda Strain
2. Jurrasic Park
Two of my favorite all time books. I will have to check out his other stuff now that he has passed away.

In case you didn’t know earlier this week (Monday) Best Buy got Sprint’s new PDA phone, the HTC Touch Pro. Then around Friday, all Sprint stores got them. I’ve played with it a little and love how responsive it is compared to the Mogul. However, I will still need to play some more with it, before making the decision to upgrade or not. Since I’m no longer under a contract, I’m hoping to get a good deal on it.

Edit:
So, talking to a friend, I’ve realized that I missed one year when doing my calculations, my site has been in operation for 6 years. :-)
Original Post:
Wow. I was doing some maintenance on my site (see previous story) and noticed that my first entry was in Oct 13 of 2003. Yes, six years ago! I really can’t believe I’ve kept up with it this long. So, here’s to another 5 years. By the way, this was my very first posting.
13 Oct
So things are starting pretty slow, expect very little until my life slows down some, or I miraculously discover that I can slow down time, or travel back in time…
Perhaps you will be waiting for a while in order for this site to be any where near completion.

Five years later and life has not slowed down and I have not figured out how to travel back in time. :(

I need to come up with an easier way to update WP, although it only take 10 minutes, it really could be streamlined.
