Sorry for the infrequency, folks. My new motherboard still isn't here. Well, ok that's a lie. It's here but it is in the shipping building and I just couldn't make it there today to pick it up. The need to have food to eat for dinner trumped the need to be able to check email. I'll pick it up tomorrow. Then HOPEFULLY I'll have a functioning computer and will resume normal posting.

School life is starting to calm down. The apartment is still going great. The jobs are good. The rocket is going particularly well. I wrote a column for Friday's edition. I thought it was kind of crappy as all of my columns are because I write them mostly for humor and only a little to get some technology information across. I sometimes wonder if writing the column the way I do is beneath me (if you've read one you'll understand) but I write them any way because the tech savvy guys and the help desk and networking department clearly get a kick out of it. So does the president of the university apparently, because I got an email from him praising last weeks column this morning. The column can be read here.

I haven't done anything with my new PTA position yet. I'm not sure when that starts but I'll be sure to fill you in. The RNA position is going along swimmingly. I like that I get to do more training/managerial and less routine stuff. It's more fun that way.

I haven't had a whole lot of free time but part of that is that it is the beginning of the year and I just went home for a weekend. I hope there'll be more later. Thanks to everyone who has sent me back to school cards or gifts or good wishes. I really appreciate it.
