I’m back from Florida, finally unpacked and feeling just a little more refreshed (as opposed to very groggy from when I got off of the airplane), but I’ve been covered in emails and getting back up-to-date with all the things I missed while I was gone. So, what’s going down now and in the near future?
Relocation: I’m moving out of my room and into my new room which used to be my brother’s. Since my brother got married and moved out, I have a larger room now. I’m basically already moved in (the room is liveable), but a lot of things need to be changed still (move the T.V. so that I can use cable, move the bed to a more comfortable spot, move other things in the room, move clothes from my old closet to my new one, and so on). Last night we painted it a light creamy beige (very soft on the eyes), giving the room a much more elegant, serene feeling. Very nice.
Emails: I’m basically caught up on emails, though there are a few I haven’t had a chance to get back on (Medical site, GB/MikeCMS). Aside from that, I think we’re good. (Oh yea, and Chris Martz, it looks like you’re not the only one asking about college degrees.)
Blogging: I’m not back to a point where I’m prepared to reinitiate the whole blogging process, but it’s getting there. I spent a good hour or so reading the 487 blog entries that I missed, and got a lot of good reading in. (If you look at my del.icio.us page, you’ll see that I marked a lot of things “read later” or “use later” because I didn’t have time to spend on them like I want to.)
News: In addition to reading 487 blog entries, there were over 490 news items that I missed while I was gone (and briskly skimmed over today). I’m caught up, I think, with the news. Some highlights are: Google Earth, Google Maps API, iTunes 4.9 with Podcasting, My Web (and accompanying developer API) by Yahoo!, U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs, and AI Researchers Produce New Kind of PC Game.
And, I think that about wraps everything up. Normal blogging (read: good blog entries, or so I think) coming…
Whoa! Zombie dogs…. That’s just freaky

Slashdot r0×0r2 my 50×0r2.
Think you might be just a tad obsessive with reading blogs?

Obsessive? Nonsense. It’s really good stuff. ;^)

If you were taking a computer related course while you were gone, wouldn’t you have access to the internet? Down time?!

The computers were worked on were networked, but there was no Internet access available. I complained about it when I made my first web page there, but when I did they deleted everything on the site I had made and replaced it with “removed due to inappropriate content.”

Haha, yeah man that is a bit of blogging eh? How do you have enough time to do that? I have such a messed up schedule that I just woke up an hour ago (around 8pm) and I’ll go to sleep at 9am or so. It’s actually a great way to get work done, because everything is so quiet, lol.

The problem with that, Neczy, is that you can’t crank up the volume on your power-music to get work done. ;^)
