Welcome

You have found my ever evolving web presence. So, you know how it goes. The plan sounds great, but then actual implementation does not always go quite as planned. Well, the PLAN is to develop this site into three things:

  • Personal Blog — Posts from time to time of things I'm doing.
  • Resume — My accomplishments and current activities.
  • Digital Workshop — Testing area for new stuff.

Once again, I've found another great template, and, again, changed the underlying php framework. But, as always, we will see how things go.

Having fun, but crazy busy!

February 5th, 2013

And, just like that we're already done with the first month of the new year. I've been busy as heck juggling a couple different projects for work. These projects were negotiated at various times over the past six months, but they all came to a convergence in January, which has meant an insane workload. Still trying to finish up a couple of these projects so I can have a little more free time. Hopefully by the end of February I'll be able to wrap up most of them.

With the little bit of time that I do have, I was able to build a plugin for my WhiteWolfDev website. Was staying up till the wee hours a few nights to get that finished, but I'm pretty happy with it. It's built on top of a "core foundation" which I'm planning to reuse for other plugins.

Watched the superbowl at Holly's parents house with my parents as well. The six of us played a couple rounds of bocce ball then watched the game, made some whole wheat pizzas and enjoyed the commercials. Can't wait for the new Star Trek movie. The game was one of the better super bowl games in a few years. If the 49ers would have won, it would have been an interesting controversy about the power outage.

I'm writing this post through the Google Drive app on my new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which I got a bluetooth keyboard and case for. I am really enjoying the techie gadget niche that the tablet fills. There's something about the speed at which I can turn on the tablet, and start doing something that a laptop just can't compete with. It has the mobility of a laptop, or phone, but much more screen space than the phone. The bluetooth keyboard is just big enough to type normally (thus rapidly.) It feel like a Star Trek gizmo, being a touch screen lightweight device. Not sure exactly what it is, but all in all, it is awesome.

Looking forward to going to the desert in a couple weeks, and gotta start planning the move up to Grass Valley! Wedding is under five months away now! Time is flying.
