Sundays are good!

Sundays are good, after being up until 3AM learning and playing with some Visual Basic stuff, my wife brought me some breakfast in bad around 10, and then let me go back to sleep for a little while. Excellent! Eventually we did make it out of the house for a trip down to the used book store. Picked up a book on ASP and XML, so the learning cycle can continue when my VB book goes back to the library tomorrow. I’ve gotten a pretty good grasp on how things work in VB, how the program works and where to start. The rest will be picked up over time, and from using it, I’m sure. I enjoyed the Sam’s Teach Yourself VB book, it was my first exposure to the Sam’s series of books, and they’re very good for a subject you don’t know much about to begin with. Very informative and easy to understand.

Still keeping my fingers crossed that this switch over starting tonight won’t result in much downtime. We shall see…

    So far they are only rumors, or planned products with no pricing, but can I just say the idea of a Windows Home Server and a 1-Terabyte hard drive gets me excited? Or maybe it’s just been a long day and I’m easily excited? It was a very long day, the first day of maternity…

    Saw my first Segway today. A cop was riding it through the Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Angela actually pointed it out to me, she’s turning into such a good little geek wife. 🙂 Now that I’ve seen one up close, I can honestly say that my opinion hasn’t changed, it’s a neat toy,…

    Because sometimes, after you climb over the boards you hit your head on the ice and get knocked unconscious. I see stupid people, they’re everywhere! *L* Best quote in the article, though, goes to Bob Boughner: “Well, it’s the shame,” said Boughner, with a grin. “It’s never a girl. It’s always a guy.” I guess…
