gizaIt's been about a month since I wrote anything about myself, so I figured I'd get into that. Here we go!
- Thanksgiving. I went up to see my parents, and I took them up a LinkSys WRT54G router for my parents, who finally got DSL. I set it up at their place, locked down their wireless network, and can now use my Powerbook when I visit them. It makes visits a whole lot cooler, because I can get online, talk with people, etc., and not have to feel pressured to rush back home so I can check tons of e-mail that might be waiting for me.
- Christmas. I visited my parents again for that. Random things I got included: A framed picture of this cheetah hand painting from my aunt (who knows NOTHING about furry, just that I like big cats), one of those plastic "pasta containers" full of pasta and sauce, and one of those bags that you can stuff plastic bags in and pull them out the bottom for later reuse. Ah, simple things for simple minds. :-)
- Work. Work has kept me VERY busy lately. We're in the QA phase of a fairly big project, and I've been working a ton of hours to stay on top of things. I hope it pays off when we hit our release date. I could really use a break.
- My website - I've been moving my content over to Mambo as my schedule permits, and it's been mostly going okay. I've hit some snags, but they were mostly from me not fully understanding certain parts of Mambo. I hope to have most of the content over to the new site by the New Year, at which point I will be "throwing the switch" in DNS, so to speak.
- Anthrocon stuff - There's been a fair bit of this, too. Mostly because of the hotel issue that came up at the beginning of the month. The load is starting to drop off, however. Oh, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unclekage wrote this rant about Armchair Conchairs. You know, the sort of people who gripe in public because we won't set aside an elevator JUST for the dealers. It's a good read and explains the frustrations of running a con.
- Sleep - I've been trying to get more of this lately. However, I've also been trying to be in work by 9 AM this morning. Melatonin has been a help, as has really sleeping in on the weekends. I need to work on this, though.
