FORLAN Day 1
meta-markup: 0
Matt and I arrived here in Lewiston, ME safe and sound, and are currently sitting a nice long table with a bunch of other geeks. We’ve been playing CounterStrike mostly, with a little UT2k3 and Natural Selection. I think we’re going to head to the hotel soon. Tomorrow, we’re heading to Matt’s relatives for [...]

More Christmas and LAN Party!
meta-markup: 0
Yesterday, Matt came up to Manchester looking to buy himself a MemoryStick for his shiny new Clié. We started by heading to Circuit City, where I ended up buying a 128MB Lexar MemoryStick, and some screen protectors for my Clié, but Matt found nothing he wanted. At this point we made a horrible mistake, [...]

Merry Christmas
meta-markup: 0
Well, it’s Christmas again, and here I am sitting alone in the apartment. I was over at Andrea’s house earlier today to exchange presents and eat lunch with her family. Lunch probably isn’t the right word, since it consisted of a pork rib roast and more side items than can fit comfortably on the [...]

without the AC adapter for my laptop. This gave me about an hour and a
half of battery time (I had used some power up on Friday working from a
customer’s parking lot.) On Friday, I had put the adapter in my coat
pocket when [...]

Two Treks and Cleaning
meta-markup: 0
Well, in addition to seeing Star Trek: Nemesis with Jon, Matt, and a couple F.o.R last night, I saw it again today with Nick. Opinions on it seem to vary from it being one of the best Trek movies ever to being about average. Personally, I think it’s one of the better ones, most [...]

Work, movies, stuff, and stuff
Been a bit since I’ve updated, and Matt was beginning to get on my case, so here we go. Works been going pretty well. Earlier this week we went back over to George Gordon in Merrimack to update the software on our box there. While we were there, I came up with a way to [...]

Thanksgiving
meta-markup: 0
Well, it’s the first day back at work after a nice long holiday weekend.
Overall I had a nice break. For Thanksgiving, I went over to Andrea’s
parents’ house for dinner, bringing with me some Chex Mix (I made it
myself!) It was a pretty standard Thanksgiving dinner, turkey, stuffing,
gravy, cranberry sauce and the like. It was [...]
