Wow… has it really almost been two months since my last Blog post? Yikes… I need to keep more up to date on these things! Things have been quite busy over the past two months, such as:
- I went to Florida to visit my family for 2 weeks.
- I started studying for my next certification (if all goes well, I’ll take the Security+ exam this month).
- I’ve suddenly been swamped with outside contracting work so I’m out of the house more.
- I’ve joined a gym (holy crap! Who’d have thought I’d ever do that?!).
- I’ve begun cooking even more than before, so I may need to put a PC in the kitchen here soon.
See, so I have plenty of excuses to not have posted anything for awhile. Oh yeah, did I mention we officially have a new President? Man… last time I posted we still had Ol’ Whatshisface in office. As I mentioned, I have started cooking a lot more than before, so as I spoke about in my last post, I am working on a new “food blog” for me to share recipes, review shows/foods/restaurants and all those type things as I continue down this new path I seem to making towards becoming a true “foodie” (scary, I know). Once this goes live I’ll both mention it here and most likely cross-post when things intersect (as I’m sure they will).
Well, that’s all for now… Valentine’s Day is coming up, so between that and my exam I may be kind of silent again, but I hope to be back blogging away here soon! Oh yeah, and since I failed to mention it before, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane” (Final), and it works just awesomely!
I’m still alive, just busy is all. It’s that time of year when Jess is working 80 hour weeks (no exaggeration) so I’m staying pretty busy just trying to cook/clean/work/etc while she’s gone. One of the big things I’ve been spending my time doing is cooking/baking and I was thinking about making a second blog… this one being normal, and the other a “food blog” of sorts. I figure it will be used to share recipes, talk about whatever cooking shows/tips/etc I come across, restaurant reviews, and other stuff like that. I’ve begun designing it in the little spare time I have:
I don’t think it’s that bad for a start. My goal is to launch it in early January and see where it goes from there. Also, on that same note, I think I’ll update this site design a little bit. I liked it at first, but I really am thinking it needs a slight overhaul. We’ll see if/when I find the time to do that. Busy, busy, busy!
Oh, and on a completely different subject, this blog is now running WordPress 2.7 RC1! There are some slight visual changes between the beta and the release candidate, but I like ‘em! Go check it out for yourself!!
