Thoughts and Ramblings

General things I find of interest.

Paid now

Well, the CE department decided that they were going to pay me now for my sysadmin work. So, that means that I will continue doing it. It is not too much work, but more than is worth doing for free.

Anyway, I am going to have the fun tonight of moving the user’s files over to the new hard drive space. Hopefully all will go well.


Christmas Vacation

Well, I left CS for the Christmas vacation and went to my parents’ place. Pretty much from the time I arrived Hallie decided to hiss at me from under the tree. I managed to get a picture of her giving me one of her glaring looks.

Friday, the 23rd, we all packed up the truck and went to my grandparents’ place in Fort Worth. We celebrated Christmas there along with my dad’s birthday the following day. I actually didn’t take very many pictures this time, but I got one of Hallie with some of the presents.

She doesn’t want to be there and is looking for escape.


Semester Ending

Well, the semester is coming to an end. I have basically finished everything that I need to do for the end of the semester. I have a Christmas party left still, but that is just about it.

The laptop that my dad let me use seems to still be working just fine. Nothing wrong with it so far. I wonder if it is going to give me the same failure that it gave him. Strange.


Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, thanksgiving has now come and gone. I have spent so long trying to catch up on things that I missed from being out of town that it has taken me a while to get back to this blog. I still have to clean up my apartment this week sometime and a few other things before I am caught up.

I went to my parents’ place over the weekend. My dad’s parents joined us on Friday, and we celebrated Thanksgiving then. It is nice to see the place finally built. Here is a picture of it completed.

Now if only it would rain so the grass could grow.


More Computers

Well, it seems things came in pairs yesterday. Two broken computers, and two christmas party invitations. Oh well, at least one of those items was nice.

Got the sever up and running nearly back to where it should be. I took the old HD out, and used it in a FW enclosure and got all the data off of it. I have 5G to take with me tomorrow. That should be fun :) At least the server is back in operation, and it seems to be running just fine for now.
