I really don’t want to be right.
If I’m right, it means that we have at least 2 weeks worth of work that will need to be redone.
I really don’t want to be right, but I’m afraid I might be.
And what really sucks is that I vocalized my concerns about this issue when it first came up (2 weeks ago). So if I’m right, I’ll at least have an “I told you so” – but I’d really rather not, in this case.
gah.
also: I need to get back into the habit of posting here. (how long have I been saying that now?)
returns to lurking in the corner and hoping that he’s wrong.
Can I have a do-over?
Thorny problems at work (all sorts of strange things going on in the labs) exacerbated by the fact that I’m running on an average of 4.5 hours sleep (2.25 hour increments) per night the last 4 nights. I want to curl up in a ball under my desk and hide right now. Can we just reset this week and start over from monday?
blahs
Haven’t felt much like posting recently. Here are some tidbits:
I still have a backlog of images to get online.
Justn had his first major cold last week. He’s 97% over now.
We’ve started giving him “solid” food. Rice cereal was first. Last week, it was peas. This week, it’s carrots.
Justin isn’t a fan of peas, (that could have been because of the cold,) but he does like carrots.
He’s also so close to crawling it isn’t even funny. He’s got the strength to hold him self up and the basic idea about the movments needed to propel himself forward, he just needs to finish putting it all toghether. (I wouldn’t be suprised if daycare says he’s done it when I go pick him up today.)
We’ve found new daycare. I don’t think I posted much about why we pulled him out of the old one, and I’m not sure I’m going to, either.
We’re going to Gaskell’s this weekend. (Justin will be spending the evening with his grandparents.)
We’re going to be in a wedding next month. I’m going to wear purple converse sneakers with my tux. 
Work’s been much the same. New projects, same headaches.
That’s enough for now.
I suck
I haven’t posted any new pictures since mid-December. I should fix that one of these days. I’ve got a bunch of good holiday shots as well as some other random stuff floating around on my HD, backup CDs (from the computer migration), and camera.
I also haven’t written much about Justin and how he’s doing. (And how his parents are doing…) I feel like I really should be doing more of that.
how’s that for an entry (almost) completely void of content?

I should start playing volley-ball again
Volley-ball is one of my favorite leisure-time sports activities. I don’t neccissarily have the gratest skill, but its something that I really enjoyed playing during the summer or at company picnics and such. The only problem is that I get really competitive when it comes to playing.
I haven’t thought about playing volloey-ball for the longest time, but now I really want to. I wonder if it was the diving save I made in one of the labs as a piece of equipment that was being moved teeteered off the edge of the counter that did it…
I keep thinking to myself: “good dig!”

Which is worse?
Not posting regularly, or writing regular “I’m still alive” posts with very little content?
Still alive…
but busy.
Justin is doing well – pictures on the gallery site updated occasionally.
Jenny and I are adjusting to be being parents. Lack of sleep is so far the most difficult part. I’m sure new challenges await.
Back at work – some new projects, and a few new people, but mostly the same as before I Ieft.
When not working, taking care of family or sleeping (ha, sleeping – that’s a good one), I spend most of my time playing City of Heroes.
ok – bubye
Taking back my inbox
I’ve finally gotten fed up with the bounceback spam to my domain email account. I took steps that I should have taken a long time ago, namely setting up my mail server to only allow messages sent to specific addresses to reach my inbox.
The reason I waited so long is that I tend to use a unique address whenever I sign up for somthing online. (It’s actually helped me ID a site that resold thier mailing list – naughty naughty.) I just went through my old mail and came up with 75 different addresses that I would potentially want to receive messages to. Not as bad as I thought. So I’ve set those up on my mail server and I’m currently sending everything else (*@) to my gmail account. I’ll spend a couple of weeks monitoring that box to see if there are any addresses that I missed before I set *@ up to bounce.
Now I’ll finally know how little email I actually get. :p
