I realized recently that the last several updates have been restricted to “friends only”, so this is me updating the rest of you non-friends on the current state of things ;)<\/p>\n
Firstly, I have a new girlfriend \/ roommate, Alison. She came up from San Diego to stay with me and look for work, etc. The short version is: things are really cool and comfortable, and I totally enjoy having her around :) Curious wanna-be onlookers should check out the austin pics<\/a> for some visuals.<\/p>\n Among other interesting traits, she is a computer hardware fiend; I put this to the test today by allowing her to move my PC into a new case. This is something I’d been wanting to do since blackmagic hooked me up with an unused ColorCase (another in a long list of hardware items acquired from him… thanks! :), but I just knew that I’d screw it up somehow if I did it myself. Hell, I couldn’t even put this one together without help. I think that anything that runs windars (natively) hates me (and hey, I can’t blame it for returning the favor). In any case (or at least the ColorCase, heh), she got it going on the first try, which I thought was impressive :) Now ball is quieter, cooler, and generally happier. Anybody know how to make an XP machine boot directly into quake3?<\/p>\n The job scene is more or less the same… still doing contract work for apple, delivering their certification courses… and still delivering those courses for my company as well.<\/p>\n Weather has been quite nice lately… summers here are generally very pleasurable, in my somewhat short seattle experience, anyway…. I think this is my third summer here. All in all, life is good… there is a lot to be excited about, lately, and I’m doing my best to enjoy the times :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I realized recently that the last several updates have been restricted to “friends only”, so this is me updating the rest of you non-friends on the current state of things ;) Firstly, I have a new girlfriend \/ roommate, Alison. … Continue reading
