2 Bit Hacker

Been a little bit since I’ve updated, so I thought I’d just post a kindof general update on life in general. Life has been going pretty well as of late, meeting a bunch of new people, largely thanks to Delia. Not sure if I’ve mentioned this in here yet, but I’m very glad that I met her when I did, life has been much more interesting with her around. Thanks again for bursting the boring bubble.

In gadget news, I did finally get a new cell phone, a Nokia 3589i to replace the old one that was beginning to break apart. So far it seems to be pretty slick. I like being able to tie multiple numbers to the same contact, and I should be able to load in custom ring tones and have different rings for different people. Just need to get the data cable for it at some point to begin playing with it.

Started playing in Angel’s D&D game yesterday. It’s good to be in a group again, I really enjoy playing, but trying to keep a group going always ends up being difficult. From what I’ve seen so far he seems like a good DM, with a pretty good amount of planning going into the game. Should make for an interesting diversion. Also, one of Delia’s other friends is probably going to be joining, bringing the party up to 6, which I think makes it the largest group I’ve played in.

On the work front things are pretty much the same as always, plodding along. I did get to spend a day last week working for IronCastle, which was a nice change of pace. Some day I’ll be working for IronCastle full time, and just doing work for SimPro on a contract basis through them, which I look forward to. Working on the same project for too long gets rather tedius. I wish these voice modems would either start working the way their supposed to, or just explode or something.

As for upcoming events, a bunch of us are going to go see either Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Hellboy this evening. Neither movie was really on my to-see list earlier in the year, but they both look pretty good, so I’m looking forward to it. Wednesday is Dan’s birthday, though I don’t think we’re doing anything on Wednesday for it, due to family plans. This weekend I’m heading up to Maine to visit my mom and Ralph for Easter, maybe stopping in at the Loft at some point.

Weekend after that is Delia’s birthday, which apparently we’re having a party at my place for. I still need to decide on a present for her, but for once I actually have plenty of ideas, I just need to figure out which one is best.

Farther out, I’m thinking of taking another trip someplace this summer, maybe down to Texas to visit Matt again, or do the Michigan/Indiana thing again. Don’t know yet. Maybe go somewhere completely new and different.
