As we stand on the threshold of a new year, it’s time to pause and reflect. We’ve embraced “read-only Fridays,” creating space for uninterrupted weekends. We’ve recognized that the battle with printers is ongoing – not every desk demands a color laser guardian.

Our vigilance against digital malevolence has only sharpened; we’ve learned to question the legitimacy of every unsolicited email. We’ve sought to perfect our scripts, dreaming of a future where automation is not just a promise, but a reality.

And yes, we look towards the horizon with a universal hope – for more. More efficiency, more security, more growth, and indeed, more financial reward.

Here’s to a new year brimming with potential. To prosperity, to innovation, to resilience. May we all find success in our endeavors. Happy New Year!

 

As the year of the rabbit comes to an end, the year of the Dragon quickly approaches. 2011 was a good year, filled with many ups and downs, good times and bad times. 2011 seemed to last about as long as a decade. My medical board started around January and lasted until the end of October. So much has happened in this year, I’m not ready to write about it all now.  As I adjust to retired life and prepare for my 2nd career, I find myself missing the camaraderie of my military brother and sisters.  Although I’m glad I have moved on, especially when I think about the deployments and time away from family.

Anyway, enough about that.  The kids had a good Christmas.  Money is tight, but we’re surviving.  We are together as a family and safe.  We have much to be thankful for!

My thought are with our troops that are overseas!  May you come home safe and sound!

2012 WILL BE A BETTER YEAR!  And that’s that!

I am excited… just got a new computer. Since my old desktop was Ancient (AMD 3400+), I had to get a new computer. I had some extra cash, so I got me an AMD Phenom™ 9750 Quad Core processor. Stuck it in an ASUS motherboard, stuck 4 gigs of Corsair ram in it, a 1 TB SATA drive, SATA DVD+/- RW. The case is beautiful… with blue LEDs lighting up the… well… underneath my desk.

Thus far, I put windows 7 on it, but will probably dual boot linux at some point. Not sure yet. I’m kind of liking windows 7. I still have a linux box (my old desktop), which I run as a file server, serving up my movies, photo’s, and other various files. I’m running Sabayon Linux as the server OS.

I’ll stick a picture of it up later.

Greetings all…

Since I haven’t replaced any computers in quite a while now, I figured it was time get the family a new computer or two. Picked the kids up an Compaq from Best buy. Ordered myself a barebones kit from Tiger direct and also my wife and I both got a netbook.

We’re all running Windows 7 and love it. I’m turning my old Compaq into a file server. Currently threw linux on it and I’m serving some movies from a 1 Terabyte drive with some movies on it.

After putting it off, for a while, I finally decided to re-do my website.  No templates, no Front Page… just me and some html & css.  Except for the Javascript that I used to switch styles.  Turned out decent.  Still working on it though, need to alter the background on a few, and get a good color scheme down.  Feel free to let me know what you think.
