Yesterday, we woke up around 8am and got a few things done around the house. Then emilie and I went over to Greg's house (well his parents house). Greg and I scouted around in the woods, and we're quite happy with it all. Lots of places to hide and stuff. We could definitely have made some bases and stuff, but we left it as-is for the moment. So we hung out and waited for some more people to arrive, finally his brother got there and then one of our old high school buddies came. So we did a little 2 on 2. It was definitely a lot of fun. The first game, we basically won pretty quickly. Then second game was a bit longer cause we did it in the woods, and I was up on this big tree that had fallen over and I finally killed Connor.

After game 2 we got some lunch which was awesome. Then we played a couple free for all games which was definitely fun, until I got shot in the neck haha I think there's still a little red mark haha Then another old high school buddy showed up and we got in another couple games before it started thundering and down pouring like crazy!

Today, Emilie and I watched an episode of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad. I definitely enjoy that anime, kind of funny :) I did take a nap, so there's a possibility of me being up quite late tonight haha but that's okay because I got my hands on every single Dirty Jobs episode, Dinotopia and the most important thing, the Spore Creature Creator!! I am going to have so much fun with that tonight, of course I first need to re-install Mac OS X Leopard Server on the Xserve, then I might do Mobile home directories, but we'll see.

Anyways, I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, I know it's not over yet, so go have so more fun!!

When I looked yesterday evening this morning to see where my order from State Line was it was down in CT, but just today, when I got home from lunch it was sitting there in-front of the door! The muck bucket isn't as big as I thought it was but, it'll be nicer then that broken bucket at the barn. I wanted to take some photos and post it, but the flash on my Canon is dead...even after ripping it apart it still won't work (note to anyone who rips apart their digital camera, make sure you know what you're doing because it can be dangerous)! I think the flash bulb is busted so I'll probably end up getting a new camera. I was looking at the Canon SD1000 or 750, both would work fine for me at the moment. I saw a commercial for the Canon XSi, whoa. I want it.

So yesterday, I spent most of it working on a silly/fun/lame/cool site, mostly going to be used for development on Scribbld but under a different name - DramaJournal.net haha so go play around with it. It's probably pretty buggy and full of issues, but that's what a dev server is supposed to be like.

Today, I worked on adding some of the features from DJ to Scribbld. I did get the navigation bar here...and I managed to get some more moodthemes installed. I changed mine to the whitekaos haha AND I changed my layout. I like it! I just need to change the links and add some text blurbs.

I think I might head to the barn now, seeing as the weather isn't so hot and I've got all these fun things!

Have a lovely day everyone!

Well today was quite good, minus the server troubles we've been having. This morning I went out to the barn, got my chores done and then I got to play! I groomed my Nippets, and shaved his little man beard...haha or just the whiskers, cause he doesn't really have a beard lol. The razor is fucking ridiculously sharp, you can pretty much just barely touch it to a hair and the hair gets cut. It's insane...but it does a really great job. So after getting him all cleaned up and pretty we did some ground work which went really well. I can pretty much take him off the lead rope and he'll follow me around, stop when I ask him to stop, turn when and where I want him too. It's like having a big dog haha After ground work, we tacked up and rode around for a bit, which he did very well with and me too, I'm proud of both of us and I hope we'll become awesome this summer. So this is the start, we'll see!

After that I gave him one of the new treats emilie picked up for the boys. I actually gave Nippet one and Buddy one, they absolutely love those treats. I have a feeling we might be able to make them, it looks like it's just grain, molasses and some other things...

Poor Emilie got sick at work today, so I've kind of been taking care of her, she came home early and she pretty much slept all day, still sleeping now...I am not sure if I should move her from the floor to the bed...

I've pretty much got Mint installed everywhere I want it, unfortunately I've not been able to get through a full day in the past 3 days without something crappy it out, which means the statistics aren't 100% right now. I'm definitely quite pleased with the software as it gives me the data I want without the bloat of Google Analytics (although I still like Google's stuff!).

Hrmm, not sure if I've got anything else to say. I'm compressing some mail server backups right now, oh fun fun fun!! Then I think I am off to bed. Good night everyone!

Friday I had some consulting in the morning. Definitely a lot of fun. It was for this private school, religious I believe but fun. They've got a nice little network going but it looks like they're out-growing it. They've got this tangerine iBook running their proxy server, a little funny, but I think we'll be upgrading that with either Squid or OpenDNS. Only spent an hour there, basically just going over things, so there's some research to be done but it'll be fun.

Did some work from home in the afternoon, got a bunch of emails out and did some web work. I was going to go out and get some dinner, either from the pub or form that new Thai place, but I ended up having some delicious army food. Haha

I was going to go riding this morning but it's pretty crappy out, raining. I do think it's going to clear up so probably this afternoon I'll hit up the barn. I ordered a new saddle pad last night along with some muzzle/ear shavers. I can't wait to use them, pretty up my horses face haha

emilie will be home today, I don't think we're going to do anything tonight, might get take-out from the Thai place. I really hope tomorrow is nice, because I want to go riding with Emilie. We'll see though.

Have a love day everyone!

Had a bit of consulting yesterday, but that's about it. I did work on a couple websites and then did a couple other things I've been meaning to do for a while.

Today I did a bit of consulting, mostly through email but I did go to one place which was really close to where I live. Just troubleshot a printing issue. Fixed it though, going back their on Monday to do a RAM install. Should be good, keeps me busy.

Besides that there's something very important that needs to be taken care of. I went to ride my horse this morning and I noticed how terribly overweight he is. It seriously took like 5 minutes to get on the girth (the thing that goes under his belly and keeps the saddle on) because he's so tubby. So I'll be working with him a lot more to get him & myself back into shape. I promise not to leave Scribbld hanging but unfortunately he's a lot more important then this website. You shouldn't notice any difference but I'll be donating more time to his cause. We did go for a short ride today up the hill until we reached a point where he got a bit spooky and we turned around. It was a good ride considering I've not ridden since like December or something ridiculous. So yeah, that and getting my Apple certifications are my big projects right now...

emilie and I are going to swimming tonight. It's going to be fun, the pool is always really warm. The weather is miserable but I think that'll be fun. Then we'll have a nice dinner, and watch a movie tonight. So glad it's the weekend too.

I got a $400 bonus from Small Dog which is wonderful, I definitely needed that, going to put $100 towards the credit card along with the $1600 I made from the sale of my MacBook Air and then using my tax refund and that should pretty much cover the Xserve and the crappy Windows laptop I had to buy for doing subtitles. And the other $300 I will use for spring shots for the horse.

I order this Nintendo DS flash card this afternoon, it was like $40 shipping for a little device that weighs less then 1lb. Haha I also got a 4GB MicroSD card. I also picked up a couple Nintendo DS ROMs, you know just to make sure the device works...I'd love to mod or get a modded PSP...but it's expensive, depends on how much I can bring in with this new job.

emilie and I have been continuing to work on watching Azumanga Diaoh. She says it's growing on her which is great cause it's definitely funny.

I beat some more Crisis Core this afternoon. It's such a good game. I haven't really found a need for the guide to often, but it has some really good tips in it which is nice. I really love the story. I just met up with Aerith. According to the guide, I am about half way through the game, so that's cool.

Well I'm off to watch a movie or something, study some Japanese or something. Take care all :)
