Life, Kids, Technology & that move to another continent
scott Well, I did my tax’s for 2003. Turns out the government owed me a bunch of money. This year I once again used turbo tax. One of the best programs ever. I didn’t have a complicated return so I used the software.
Everything including the filing was done online. I should see my return direct deposited to my bank account in like 10 days. It is awsome. When you are getitng back money, doing your tax’s is not so bad!

Due to stuff going on at work that requires me to be up past midnight my sleep habits are all screwed up this week. I got up at 8:30AM today. I got up at 9AM yesterday after working till after 1AM. What is wrong with me? I hope to get a good night sleep tonight so I can be fresh for work on Monday.
I just got back from Kingston. It was snowing up there, and raining in NYC. The main reason I went up there didn’t even happen since we had some problems with a new server again last night.
As a thank you for all the crazy work we have been doing, my company took Keith and I to Best Buy and we got gifts. To tech guys this is a very good thing!!! We both got HP Ipaq 1945’s. Keith was going to get a portable DVD player but the check out girl said some bad things about it, so he got the same pocket pc that I was going for. I had the 1910 before but it didn’t have bluetooth so I got rid of it for my Treo 270. I like the pocket pc, but wouldn’t have gone out and gotten one on my own. As a gift it was a nice surprise.
I got out my old Xircom Realport2 Bluetooth card, and am trying to configure it to sync with the pocket pc. I am also getting my Sony Ericsson T-68i unlocked so I can use it with the bluetooth on the pocket pc. I will play with this setup until T-Mobile finally releases the Treo 600 sometime in March.
Normally we get steak dinners for our major projects, but this was a very nice change of pace. It is nice to get recognition for job’s well done!!!
Took the day and went up to kingston to work. I got allot done. I also learned allot about what goes on day to day up there, and what the employee’s need from a support perspective. The weather was on my side and I was able to be home by 7:30PM.
I got my new furniture friday as planned. It looks as good or better than I anticipated. Most of my stuff is put away now. I only have 1 issue with were to put all my home entertainment components. My Tivo & DVD player don’t fit where I wanted them to go. I need to cut a hole in the back of the wall unit in order to move them somewhere else. Other than that things look good. I need to hang my large map now that I know where my couch is. I have a massive map of the US with marks on every city I have been to. It was fun doing and is nice to have around. I will probably move my DVD collection to the new wall unit also. It will make room in my front closet where they are now.
I need to have my old wall unit removed. it is in pieces in the corner of my living room while I figure out what to do with it.
The really big foot rest in my bed room is making it hard to walk around, but it goes with my new comfy chair so I am torn with what to do with it. I pushed it against the wall and am hoping it is out of the way. You really need someplace to put your feet up on when you sit in a comfy chair. My Pier 1 chair had a small foot rest. That chair is now on my patio. it will be for warmer weather use outside.

This is my first post from my newly formatted iMac. I had problems with it crahsing allot so I decided to reformat the drive and start over. I thought it was a software issue. It is begining to look like I either setup the software in the same way, or I am having a hardware issue since my problem is still happening. I have most of my settings recovered but it won’t be perfect for some time. I am just pissed that it is still crashing…

Spoke to my friend Jayson today. he is planing on coming into NYC for a week in february. He is going to take a Cisco Voice Over IP class. I think he is a punk for needing to take a class in it, but he owns his own buisness. In order to get clients he needs to not just prove he knows the stuff, he needs certification in it.
He may stay by me while he is up here. I don’t see him much so I think it would be fun. I need to get down to New Orleans and hang with him, joe and gretchen soon also.
I told him he should come to work with me and see a Cisco Call Manager in action. He was at the our "parent" company office when Jeff & Dave where there, but hasn’t ever made it to our current office.
Hopefully that will be a fun visit. I look forward to it.
Well not really packing, but I am lazy today. I know I need to break down my old wall unit so I can get my new stuff friday, but I just am not in the mood to do allot of manual labour. I will wait till tomorrow. Hopefully then I will be up for it. I need to carefully take apart all my electronics and store them for a day. I also need to make sure my cable modem stays on while I do this or else I won’t be able to get on the internet. And that would be bad.
