Well no since in going backwards to far. I am just going to start with something and let it flow.
I am in my new job working the awsome hours of 6 to 3. Yep thats early! No more late weekday nights ...but I do get home by 4, which hopefully will help us find some balance at home.
I am really enjoying my iPAQ. Its pretty neat to be able to connect to the internet at home wirelessly let alone while out and about. There are still some business' that have free access like Paneras Bread and CompUSA. If the need be you can find a hotspot from someones unsecured home network. I have a program that scans for wireless acces points and tries to connect (hitchhiker). It was amazing to see how many wireless networks there were, everywhere.
It also plays music and to go with that the Bluetooth stereo headphones have freed me from the damn wires! Also once you compress them it plays movies and video blogs. You can play games on it and all the normal PDA stuff contacts, calander. It has a camera a image editor a photoshop like program and what ever else I can find to DL and try on it.
What else... I just did my taxes and it looks like another nice refund. Since we have no big plans other than paying local taxes and paying back the kids and Sarah for money we had to use from there accounts we are going to look at moving to a house or antoher apartment.
I recently wiped our home computer and started fresh again. I am in the process of reinstalling the needed software only and keeping in clean. I did the partitions a bit different this time a windows partition about 15 gig, Open about 55 , one for sarah and one for me @ 5 each and a small partition for temp files.
So far I have redirected my My Documents folder to my partition I still have to redirect sarahs and the temp files. I also have to reload all of the photos and music. The music will be on the other hardDrive along with most of the other movies and tv shows. I would love to get the linux box online have it be a media box, even if I have to put winME or 98se on it.
I was also able to pick up another 512mg of memory over the holidays bringing us up to 1gig of memory. Now with the clean insatll WinXP is pretty snappy. I think this year I will try to upgrade the CPU since the motherboard can handle some of the faster processors and 3gig of memory. Another big Sata drive and a 30 inch lcd... ok well the 30inch lcd is a bit ambitous but the others things should be doable in time.
I am finnally reading the Harry Potter book - the half blood prince, slowley but surly. And I have some star wars books waiting in the wings.
No skatboarding seems to be in my future for now. Maybe if I get motivated again I can hit the abandonded parking lot during lunch... Ill have to see. It would be cool if we could get a house and I could build a mini-ramp....
ok, good start lets see if this sticks...
