For me, not yet!  I’ll be attending Graduate school here at UMD this coming September!

So… As the semester comes to a close, final projects must be passed in. I invite you to check out WikiSell!. You’ll need a username and password to access the site because one of the things we’ve tried to strive for is to keep it Invite only for reliability and known purposes. If you’d like to play with it, please don’t hesitate to send me an email, or post a comment here for an Invite to the system.

So… I’m in florida, just in case you didnt know. I was tricked into going down to visit my Nana. So now I’m here in FL with my Mom and Nana. I cant count the number of geckos that I’ve seen since I got here. Still work continues. I’m sitting in my Nana’s back yard, pirating someone’s wireless signal to make this post… And do work. I’ll be sure to post pictures from the flight, as well as all the little critters that are around here.

So! Boy what a great few days! After work on friday Andrew, Hollie, and I headed up to Rexford, NY. Got a 100$ speeding ticket on the way up, just before the NY state line. That was alright though, because it should have been almost 450. The statie decided it would be a good idea to bust my balls pretty hard. No biggie though, he was alright about it. He was looking for much bigger fish to fry that night. We made it to Rexford at about 11:30 on the 30th.

So we got there safe, and were met the next morning with a delicious breakfast cooked by Manda’s mom. We all spent most of the day just chilling out on the couch watching television. Then we made the drive to Saratoga, NY. From there we bar-hopped and drank.

New Years Eve was a really good time. We didnt see the fireworks like we have in years past, but I think we may have had a better time. We ended up on the 4th floor of a bar, dancing and partying away. We finished off the night in yet another bar. This one was quite a good time. We got the whole place to sing “Happy Birthday” to “Liza”… None of us know a Liza… However, after some hijinks on the partons of said bar, Andrew decided to point at Hollie, and say “Happy Birthday Liza!!”, at which point the entire bar sang happy birthday.

The night was full of great comments such as: “My Eyes are Huge” - Gene, and, “In my pants…” - Gene. (Gene is Manda’s brother).

Please enjoy some pictures from that night.

The next morning we drove back to Manda’s house in Rexford, and did more chilling out on the couch. Then came the journey home later that night. After several hours of Law & Order, we all (minus Manda), piled into my car and began our trip home. The drive, although long, was quite uneventful… That is… Until the very end…

The have put in a new “44 Connector” in Middleboro, MA. After almost 4 hours of uneventful driving things changed. We were about 3 minutes into this new road (a dream to drive on if I must say…), and some little bastard decided it would be cool to throw a baseball at my back passenger window. The baseball shattered the whole thing and almost hit Hollie in the head. Andrew and I went back to find the little bastards, but we could’nt. Luckily my insurance is covering the cost, and Giant Glass has already replaced the window.

Flock Developer Preview is now available.

Interesting…  A new firefox based browser called flock, is out…  Interesting…  Check it out!  I demand it!

I know I havent updated here in quite some time. I apologize. I have finally finished the move into my new apartment, and the semester has hit me like a ton of bricks. I assure you all that i am still alive and kicking. More updates will come sonn… I hope…

Happy Andrew?

Can’t sleep tonight. Not sure why. Lots of things going through my head. Huge meeting tomorrow, I should be asleep. I just sit here and think… “Funny the way things are…” Just had to type I guess. Oh well… Last post before I get to sleep, I have a few things for tomorrow. Night all!

My forums and Wiki are operational. Content will soon appear. Please register for both.

My aim is to use the Wiki as a means of storing the methods of my madness. Things like code snippets, configuration files, links to odd pages on the web, which took me hours of “googling” to find. Those sorts of things.

The forums will be a mix of things… From technical help, to everyday banter, check it out.

The links to both can be found on the right… Just over there –>
