busy month

well so far this month has been a little crazy. the first week i was on vacation. i already need another one. the second week found me in Boston at TechEd. for those eho dont know TechEd is a Microsoft conference that is held every year in June. ther is lots of training and vendors giving away stuff and it is a pretty good time. it is generally a giant gathering of geeks but still a good time. i learned some cool new stuff and made off with a shitload of freebies/ :) now this week i am in the office for the first time this month. you can imagine how far out of the loop i am. and way behind too. so now is the time when all hell breaks loose and our main systems start to go nuts. i have spent all week trying to put out fires and get things fixed. applying patches like crazy. i have had to work late the last 2 nights and things are finally starting to calm down. i already have something scheduled i have to do on Sunday afternoon. :(

on a personal and much better side, we have had our house for sale since the first of April and it looks like we may get to sell it soon. finally! we have found a new townhouse and we are going to be moving next weekend. i am taking friday off work so i can load the big truck and get moved. i hope my DSL gets hooked up at the new place in time for me toi make the friday night fragfest with the clan. 

so between the vacation and the conference and the job and the house and the moving and of course the family, its been a little bust in my small corner of the world. yesterday was really the first time this month i could spend some time here at 2o2p. man was i behind in the posts. still trying to catch up :)

thats enough rambling. you all got games to play.
