What I have been up to..

Wow I hate wordpress for that…I just wrote a whole ton of stuff and lost it because I tabbed over and hit enter…
Anyways once again here is what I have been up to:
I have been working on an MCMS project for the last month or so. It is for a company in Dayton, OH and I have been pretty much heads down on this project working to get it done.
I am starting a new MCMS project next week for the University of Findlay. The project is new for me but actually only has a few more weeks of development left and I am jumping on in place of a NuSoft developer who is starting something new.
I feel as though my knowledge base has doubled since I Started working @ NuSoft. I need to start studying for the MCAD/MCSD tests to prove it :-)
I officially got kicked out of Grand Valley State University’s Masters of Computer Information Systems program..Long story but to make it short, it was a mistake and I am working to get it fixed…Only 4 more classes after I get it resolved. Then the question is…To PhD or not to PhD…
I have been working with linux a little bit lately. I installed a small version of linux on my linksys router. It wasn’t rocket science because I found some instructions online that helped outline it but it was still fun. I now have snort running on my router…and although I don’t know enough about snort (yet) for it to be useful..it is still cool.
I also am running knoppix (live-cd) on a 2.00ghz laptop that I have that has no screen or HD. I hooked it up to a monitor and I am storing files to my thumb drive. Boot time isn’t half bad. I think I may set up a script (on the thumb-drive) that starts up a web server using that CD and thumb drive. It will be the most portable web server possible…(well actually I could probably just put the whole OS on the thumb drive and forget about the CD…But for now this is portable enough. THis is the most fun I have had with linux so far (NOTE: that isn’t say alot)
I am currently in love with a program I found called Synergy. I think I read about it over @ hackaday. It basically allows me to control all four of my laptops with one mouse and keyboard. It is pretty simple technology but totally useful. So I have four laptops set up in a row and the mouse and keyboard is connected wirelessly to my zd7000 which sits beautifully on its docking station. (I got a zd7000 with dock, in a trade with a friend by the way.)
Michelle may be moving in soon will be awesome. Living alone has its perks but I have no problem giving that up for the love of my life! We have been thinking more and more about the details of the wedding (or lackthereof). She wants to get engagement pictures soon but I gotta work on those abs first ;-) ok ok…we all know that isn’t happening anytime soon so I should get them out of the way, I just keep putting it off.
Speaking of putting things off I need to get to the Oral Surgeon. I have wisdom teeth that need removing. If you have any good experiences with that be sure to comment. All negative comments will surely be removed :-)
I also need to get to the doctor….I really don’t have a good reson…but I should probably just get a checkup….I haven’t been to the actual doctor in forever….10 years maybe? I got some sports physicals in HS, but nothing since.
I have seen Star Wars Episode III twice now, and I probably will see it again before it leaves theaters (I guess it is safe to assume I liked it).
