I’ve been trying to be fair to SharePoint and I don’t think that it’s necessarily a bad starting point, but it’s just so massive that it isn’t a one person type show.

I’ll continue to plug away at it and try not to squeeze my squishy ball to death when SharePoint designer or the web interface doesn’t work the way I think it should.

I think that’s all the ranting I’ll do for now. Like I said, it isn’t bad…. it’s just different.

Beautiful Morning, including the Sky!

Yesterday was a beautiful morning, even the sky was amazing.  The temperature was perfect and there was a great breeze.  It was just perfect.  I took a few pictures, but this is probably the only one that even remotely looked good.  I’m still getting use o the new camera on the phone.  Have a great day!

My now shiny sink

So I’m trying something new, at least for me, I’m making my sink all shiny before I go to bed at night.  It seems to be a really happy feeling to get up and see it like that.  I still have some work to do to buff out the scratches in the stainless steel, but I’m working on it.  It’s a new endeavor to start eliminating some of the clutter in my life.  If you’d seen the sink area previously, you’d know that I have a tendency to have stuff on the window sill and on the part of the sink by the window, and dishes in the sink.  I’m trying to get away from that.  I also managed to make the coffee maker provide me with fresh coffee in the morning when I wake up (well except for the night the power was knocked out, that morning Bryan had to push the button. The Horror!).  So I’m on my way.  We’ll see how it goes and I’ll take it slow.

My New Nerf Sniper Rifle

In the interest of self preservation in the workplace, I have recently invested in Armaments  for my office.  The bolt action sniper rifle appealed to me, but I think I’m going to have to go back and get a side arm.  I have to see them coming in time to get them at a distance.  Though it is an effective deterrent and people are now wary of interrupting my coding time.  The barrel does disconnect for a shorter weapon, but I haven’t really seen a reason, other than transport, where that would be a useful thing.  Who knows maybe I’ll figure it out eventually.

Me and the Cisco Sign at The Mandalay Bay

So we were in Las Vegas a little while back for my cousin’s wedding and Cisco was in town, so of course we couldn’t help ourselves when we saw the giant Cisco sign. Had to get a picture with it. Bryan got more adventurous than I did. But I like this one.  I added some other pictures to the Gallery too… not much though.  Have to get back out and take some.

We bought a Honda Insight this year for the long haul treks to work, what I didn’t expect was that the car would need to be rebooted. Seriously. I’m driving along and XM stops working. Normally I’m not really worried about it, but I was listening to something I really wanted to hear on NPR and then no audio. Nothing at all.

I wouldn’t usually turn the car off and back on to fix it, but well it is the Radio and it is electronics. When I was stopped at a light I dropped it in park, turned the car off and then back on. Radio worked again. I think I need to invest in an old car, because it worked and I don’t think I should have to use computer troubleshooting on a car. It’s a friggin’ car dammit!

BAH!

When Modern Warfare 2 came out I made sure I had pre-ordered a copy for the hubby, but I found myself jonesing.  I begged and pleaded until I got my own copy. I think so far I’ve only made it through about half the Single Player mode, but I’m already getting close to prestiging in this version.  The maps are great and varied, though like in the last game I do have my favorites and I’m still trying to decide on which load-outs I like better.  The one thing I wish I could do though, is bring in the maps from the original and play them too.

I’m still getting use to the throwing knife and the “stickies”, but they do add a nice dimension to the play.  I’ll just have to keep working on it and get better as time goes on.  See you online!

Rawr!

Now is the time to start looking at those seed catalogs!  Start planning for your spring garden…

• More campus graffiti
• Campus in the Spring
• Trip to RSA in San Francisco
• and something else, but I don’t remember what
