Had a really good time this weekend. My buddy/best friend came up from Massachusetts to get a couple things done up here in VT. He picked out the place for his wedding and it's pretty local so I'm happy. I'll be the best man there, actually one of two, so that's going to badass. I'm pretty excited for that. Also snagged an 1911 and an M203 from him, so I am super psyched about that. Not much else went on this weekend. We finished up a large portion of the new database server with lots of help from ltdan. Poor morgan spent like 5 hours trying to figure out the right Gentoo Linux image to use and then creating the bootable USB key. Finally around 12am on Sunday morning we finished up with the base OS install. I think this week we'll work on getting MySQL up and running and setting up permissions and other fun things.

Saturday I went out for an amazing ride on my horse. We just ran through the fields, and up hills and had an amazing time. I don't think I could bring myself to sell him. I'd rather live in a cardboard box then have to sell him.

Today, I worked at the barn and on some class work. Also decided that we're not going to do offsite backup from this location. Instead I've written a script that snags what we were going to backup offsite, copies any changes since last copy to an external drive. I'll then take that drive to a much faster network connection and backup from there. This will allow me to also backup email backups which we weren't planning on doing.

That's about all I have planned for today. I also made a Subversion and Trac repository/project respectfully for DeathNote. I think we're going to need to buy a new server if we really want to be serious about DeathNote.me because currently we're running the site on a 32bit system and we should really be using a 64bit system. I was thinking about doing another Chenbro case, 2U this time. And run 2 OS drives mirrored and 2 drives for MySQL. I think that'd be pretty badass. But that's going to be at least $1500, which we don't have...especially since we just spent like $2300 on the new database server haha.

I'm watching Fruits Basket but it's an English dub and I'm like "this" close to dropping it because I can't stand the annoying English voices and phrases and whatnot. It's terrible, especially after having just watched Welcome to the NHK which was amazing. Alright, I suppose that's enough chatter. :)

This might be a relatively quick post. I'm pretty busy and I'm trying to spend some time with emilie since I didn't get to really last night.

On Saturday I went up to Milton with David and played some airsoft. It was relatively lame because the area was large and there was maybe 10 people. I guess it was okay, it was something to do at least. On Sunday Emilie and I just hung out, went to the barn and had fun, then went to my parents for dinner which was nice.

Today, I had another appointment in Burlington for something which I shall leave un-named for the moment. It actually went well though. After that I had consulting appointment and that too went really well. I got some really yummy banana bread out of it :)

Last night I pretty much spent like 4 hours getting Unrealircd and Anope working. Obviously morgan helped and we pretty much finished it up. There's a little bit left of configuration to do. We tried to get an Eggdrop bot to work, but we might have to have someone else do that for us, as we're pretty much clueless on how it works. For the moment, I am completely satisfied with how it works. I just wanted a basic chatroom where I have some bit of control. That way if people are being dumb I can just kick or ban them. Definitely join up though, I am thinking about putting a big chat button somewhere haha

Tonight, just relaxing, Emilie is making her amazingly delicious calzones, so I can't wait for that. We're watching Star Wars: Episode I right now, I would love to take a cold shower at some point too.

Anyways, I hope everyone has a lovely day and a lovely week, I do hope I have time to post again shortly :)

Woke up relatively early this morning, got a bunch of work done and some fun things. For some reason the scheme code differed between web server 1 and 3, don't know why, but I fixed it. Also trying to figure out why the site likes to hold up messages (comments, emails, etc...). So what I've done to try to fix that is run a screen on the database server with a process that checks that and sends out the necessary workers to send out messages. Hopefully it works :P

I've also gotten a few comments/emails/support requests about the captchas not working but I cannot replicate the issue. Every time I go to the create a journal page I get a captcha and it seems to work fine. I would just refresh the page if you get a broken image for a captcha.

I've got a consulting appointment setting up Mac OS X Leopard Server this morning. Hopefully it goes relatively quickly. The last appointment I had with them took like 15 minutes haha I know this one will definitely take longer but it should be fun! I'll pretty much be starting from scratch which is nice, but a bit harder. I'll definitely be doing an Advanced Install too.

Last night Emilie and I were going to cook up this fabulous Thai dinner, but we ended up just getting some fried wontons from the Thai place up the street and not cooking up our noodles and stuff, oops...haha

We watched some Ebichu (which emilie thought was hilarious) and just relaxing for the evening. I did read some more Anime Insider, I think I am still like 2 months worth of issues behind haha

I've been really dying to play airsoft, but there's nothing going on here or in MA lately. Fortunately there's a game up here this weekend, I'm trying to get Greg to come up and play.

I believe I mentioned in my last post that I've gotten most of my new multicam and other gear. I was going to post some pictures but my camera is pretty much useless without the flash and I am not taking everything outside. I've got to buy a new camera, unfortunately, I don't really have $200 for a new camera at the moment. I would love to get my hands on a new Rebel XT or the XTi or that new one, I can't remember the name. Anyways, the rest of my stuff should be coming in the next few hours...

Yesterday I was consulting in Montpelier, relatively short. Unfortunately for the customer it looks like he's got a bad power supply unit. After that I went out and got lunch with Emilie. We had some really good pizza from this place I've not been too happy with. I guess they're okay with slices and stuff, but sitting down in the more restaurant-like area was pretty much a nightmare. After lunch I dropped her back off at work and I went and worked the barn. The kitties are dwindling, not sure what happened to them. I just assume they've been given away. There's only 2 left now, a female and a male. The other original mommy kitty is pregnant, so they're going to have more kitties.

Watched Hellboy and Beowulf yesterday. I had been hesitant about watching Beowulf, not sure why, I thought it'd be really lame, but it wasn't that bad. I actually like that golden dragon at the end there. The animation was really amazing too, well done. I mean it definitely looked animated in some spots but in others it was just amazing. I had pretty much forgotten about what happened in Hellboy, so that's why I watched it. Definitely an awesome movie. I hadn't realized Liz was in that movie either. I definitely enjoyed the creatures in Hellboy II a lot more though, a lot weirder!

Did some consulting calls and emails this morning, also took a shower, still haven't had breakfast although by this time, I think it's lunch.

I did watch this G4 show on GameTrailers, mostly of Gears of War 2 stuff. Wicked awesome though. Don't call Cliff Blezinski, Cliffy B. though, he'll kick you in the balls :) Good waste of 20 minutes haha I can't wait for the game. This week is E3, so there's going to be a lot of cool games and announcements coming.

Tomorrow is my good friend Greg's birthday. He's the guy I play airsoft with. Tomorrow we're probably going to meet-up in New Hampshire at this gun range and we're probably be shooting MP5s, UMPs, M16s, AK47s, etc...it's definitely going to be fun. I am not sure I'll have time to get him a present, but I'll be going down to his place at the end of the month for another OP so I'll see if I can get him something by then. I just barely got my sister a present and her birthday is in April...lol.

I've got a consulting appointment this afternoon, in about an hour. I've got to find something for lunch (we have no food in this place...)...and then the afternoon is mine.

I finally bought Howl's Moving Castle on DVD. Now I just need Miyazaki's other films, I think Spirited Away will be my next one, then maybe Castle in the Sky.

I'll be posting again maybe today with some pictures of the horses. I took em yesterday, I just need to touch them up in iPhoto and Pixelmator.

Well I've already been pretty busy this morning working with a few clients and returning phone calls and emails. I've got a few new appointments scheduled which is awesome ($$$$!!!). Talked to my buddies too, apparently when I texted my friends he thought there was a bee in his pants or something and flipped out...he was playing golf at the time lol. I do wish I could have seen that.

I've got a few new apps for my iPhone, PayPal, NetNewsWire and Tap Tap Revenge :) I've not tried them out yet, but I am sure they're good.

I beat some more Battlefield: Bad Company last night, definitely an awesome game. Except for the mutliplayer, that sucks.

I got my vest, hydration pack and multicam hat yesterday. I had to find the mail man in town because I had to sign for the vest and pack. The vest feels small but apparently that's how they're supposed to be so I'll go with it. It's a wicked awesome vest though. I love the hydration pack too, it's like a little back pack. Really neat.

So I've got a consulting appointment at 2:30 today, should be some relatively easy stuff, file sharing, iChat and VPN stuff...should be fun.

I hope everyone has been having a good summer. Mine's been pretty good...it looks like I won't be going on vacation at the end of the month. emilie got a new job so she'll have to be in training and I'd rather not go without her. I can stay around and work...or just take a vacation and work on projects here at home.

I believe E3 is next week. I'm actually pretty interested in seeing Banjo-Kazooie. I really enjoyed the Nintendo 64 version. I am sure there's going to be a lot of neat stuff coming out of there. That reminds me I've got to update my video games list...

I'm going to see Hellboy II with Keith tonight, should be awesome.

Alright, enough going on and on...have a nice day!

Been pretty busy with consulting and all. If it's not going out to places then I am usually at home working on emails and returning phone calls or consulting over the phone.

*** Auto-save has saved me!! ***

Ok, so anyways...I've also picked up another stall at the barn so that gets me 1 hour total and that means about $120 per month of board I don't have to pay so that's really nice, especially with all my other expenses right now. I did cancel my Netflix account. I told myself I would once I had an empty queue and that finally happened. I've pretty much killed anything I was subscribed to minus Anime Insider (because I already paid for it) and our Internet services.

Had to run to the animal hospital this morning because that weird video issue had resurfaced. I basically told them it was most likely a hardware issue and that they needed to bring it into the repair shop so they could properly diagnose it and order parts and have them replaced. It's definitely going to cost them though, possibly $500-$600. Ouch.

I've not been working on any websites as of late. I still have 2 websites to check into their own repositories. I did remove like over a gigabyte of media from the repositories. There's no sense in keeping it in multiple places...I guess for backup purposes but since it's just a repository, I'll let it be that and not a backup.

Keith and I are going to see Hellboy II on Friday, so that should be awesome. On Tuesday we hit up our Gamestops and picked up our copies of Unreal Tournament III. We'd pretty much been talking about that game since the summer of 2004 and we're just getting it now (actually I've had the PC version since it came out). Anyways, we pretty much played from 12pm till 10pm. We took a good dinner break but we pretty much played all that time. It's definitely a lot fun fun, we did versus, campaign and we finished up with a few online matches. Definitely an awesome game, although I almost prefer it more on the PC, it seems to run fasters, probably because you're using a mouse and keyboard. That's not to say the 360 version is slow, cause it's not...I also played a couple rounds of COD4 with makkintosshu, good times.

So, here's some not so great news. Just last year, Starbucks was opening about 7 stores a day, now they're closing ~500-600 of these stores...I'd definitely have to say either people are fed up with them, or the economy is really going downhill. It could even be a combination of both, but to have a company that was opening that many stores a day 1 year ago, to now, where they're up and closing 500 of them, not good.

The original mommy kitty at the barn is pregnant again...the barn is turning into kitty mania. I love kitties though. The horses are doing well. I snagged the leg straps off my dilapidated winter blanket and I'll use those for my new fly sheet. Nippet's blood tests came back and he's coggins free, which is awesome. I love him. I just need to copper tox his feet for a bit, they're getting a little messed up, so when I get paid which should hopefully be soon I'm ordering a big thing of fly spray refill and some copper tox. Other then that everything is great.

I ordered a bunch of new airsoft gear:

1 Coyote Brown MOLLE vest
1 Multicam Jacket
1 Multicam Pants
1 Small Med Kit
1 MICH TC-2001 Helmet
1 multicam helmet cover
1 multicam hat
1 Coyote Brown Hydration Pack
2 Multicam name tapes
1 multicam American flag reversed
2 Coyote brown name tapes
1 G&G Fan kit for goggles
1 Sanyo 9.6v battery
1 big to small battery cable

A lot of it is coming tomorrow so I am excited about that. It'll be like Christmas in July :)

I managed to get my hands on the latest 2.0 firmware for the iPhone and I've been installing a bunch of apps! I've got the Facebook app, Twitterific, Apple Remote, Things and I am thinking about getting Cro Mag Rally. I remember I used to play Cro Mag Rally with my friend instead of going to class in middle school. So much fun. It would be awesome if they had network play on the iPhone/iPod touch version. Currently I don't see how Things syncs with the desktop version so I will assume it doesn't but it MUST. I have a feeling they'll get it working, just not right away in this version. As far as I know Things is still in beta so they've got some time to get it just right (not that it's not amazing right now, because it definitely is)! The Apple Remote application is pretty much the first application I wanted about 1 week after the iPhone came out....er actually I wrote it about 3 months BEFORE the iPhone even came out! See the article here. Ha HA!

Umm, so that's about all for right now...I've got to go research some servers and I really want to play Bad Company. Good day all!

Well, it's been a bit since I last wrote in. Been busy with consulting and I was house sitting for my parents since Thursday. Nothing much really to talk about. I've been playing a lot of GTAIV, most of which I'm really enjoying. emilie and I are getting pretty close to beating Overlord too, it's a pretty fun game, she seems to like it.

Unreal Tournament III for 360 comes out on Tuesday (at least for us East Coast people). Keith and I are taking the day off and will be playing a lot of it, I am not sure about makkintosshu.

I bought a new multicam loadout. I also ordered some G&G Fan goggles so that should make my playing experience a LOT better. Got a buncha new stuff, I'll take pics and show them when I get all my new shiz in.

Went to work at the barn today, got to play with the kitties and the horses. No pics though...

Not much else to say at the moment, back to work tomorrow, although I don't have anything scheduled. Hopefully I'll be able to make some appointments tomorrow!!

Goodnight all!

Had my consulting appointment this morning, went quite quickly. I would say 15 minutes max. I'll probably get paid more in travel then for the actual work haha

I basically removed a DNS server from the router, then changed the DNS configuration on the server so that machines used the server as it's primary DNS and then anything else will be forwarded to OpenDNS. I highly suggest everyone check out OpenDNS too :)

Then I went to Small Dog, some lady thought I worked there and proceeded to ask me about the Drobo and online backup to which I gladly helped her out with. I picked up some gear for Canus for Thursday's appointment and then I went to Radio Shack. Some nice guy helped me get the right on/off switch and some electrical tape.

Got home, got the switch working and all, but it's just not going to work that well, the fan really is too big, same with the switch and for some reason the battery gets really hot, so I am going to look at my finances and I'll probably get this slick looking G&G MP5 or something...

Anyways, emilie got a new job, so we're getting Thai food to celebrate...probably watch a movie or something tonight. Have a good one kids!

I've been semi-busy the last couple of days, hence no real updates. At one point the main database server for Scribbld went funky and the OpenDirectory service crapped out. Fortunately I don't have many real OD users so it was pretty easy to get that back up and running. I think I'll be making backups every so often of that because it's really lame that it just lost all that data, quite suck-ass in-fact.

I hung out with Greg on Friday, we just went to the Army Navy store, Ming Moon, and a couple of gun shops. Parro's has the best stuff, the assault rifles (real steel) were like $800-$1300 which isn't too bad really. I never found the little med kit that Greg has, maybe I will have to look online for it.

This weekend emilie and I took care of my parents house. I've been playing a bunch of GTAIV, it's a lot of fun, Greg seemed to like it a lot too.

Watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and some Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad too. Episode 6 I think it was pretty much put me to sleep, the end was so crap.

We did go and see WALL-E, I absolutely loved it. I plan on going at least once more to see if I can find the pizza planet truck and the other things.

Had a vet appointment for my horse today. They gave him some drugs to "calm" him, within about 30-45 seconds he was almost asleep haha He was out pretty good which was nice, he was done with his shots, teeth, and cleaning in about 15 minutes. The whole thing cost about $100 less then I thought it would so that's really nice.

Emilie and I watched The Two Towers this evening and an episode of Beck. This episode was much better then the last, a bit more funny.

Tomorrow and Wednesday I have consulting appointments, it should be good stuff, relatively easy. That reminds me I need to email Wednesdays appointment to see where they're located. Eeeh I keep getting side tracked...

So yeah, I think it's time to call it a night, maybe I'll surf the web a bit or read some Anime Insider. Have a lovely night all!

Well, it sure has been a crazy couple of days. On Wednesday, emilie had to go in for some emergency surgery. Fortunately it went well and everything is okay. I ended up going to the hospital around 9:30pm that night. When I got there she was in the OR so I pretty much waited around for a couple hours. I did get to read some of my Game Informer magazine from....last year...haha I am SOOOO behind on my magazines. I have a couple Macworlds from 2005 lol. Finally, they got her situated in a nice room and I spent the night. Around 10pm or so, Scribbld crapped out. Rather someone unplugged the power strip the modem sits on so access to everything died. But it was about 3am and I was to tired to log into the Tumblr site and post an update so I am sorry about that!

I pretty much got no sleep cause I was sleeping in this chair and it just wasn't the greatest. On Thursday we hung out and waited for the doctors and stuff and finally got the leave around 1-2pm. We pretty much just came home. Went for a little walk so she could pick up some pain drugs, she also got a nice little puzzle (alright 750 little itty bitty pieces) and then just relaxed. I believe I took a nap, AND then around 6pm, I finally got someone to turn the power strip back on. So yeah, sorry!!

I've been making a lot of critters in Spore, I also made this little YouTube clone site so I could upload my own videos. Check it out! What a pain in the butt to get working. After making symbolic links to the video encoder applications in Linux, I found the settings panel where I could have simply have changed the paths lol Oh well, it works pretty well and I am pretty happy with the software. I just need to make a new for it and a new logo... I also uploaded some images. I am definitely quite happy with the Creature Creator, for $10, you definitely cannot go wrong! I do kind of wish there was more parts, I know there's a lot, but I want more!!

Today Emilie and I went to breakfast at this wonderful little, er maybe big diner right by the hospital. Then after that I dropped her off to get her car. She had to run into work quickly to setup her schedule for next week. Probably half-days. I'm just doing some emails, forums, Scribbld stuff now...I think I may go watch some TV or something, I've got a consulting call to do.

I hope everyone has a lovely day and a lovely weekend. I'll be down in Massachusetts at two OPs, one at Ghost Town and one HUGE (400+ people), Tears of the Sun at TOLCOM. Hopefully I don't get shot too many times!

Yesterday, we woke up around 8am and got a few things done around the house. Then emilie and I went over to Greg's house (well his parents house). Greg and I scouted around in the woods, and we're quite happy with it all. Lots of places to hide and stuff. We could definitely have made some bases and stuff, but we left it as-is for the moment. So we hung out and waited for some more people to arrive, finally his brother got there and then one of our old high school buddies came. So we did a little 2 on 2. It was definitely a lot of fun. The first game, we basically won pretty quickly. Then second game was a bit longer cause we did it in the woods, and I was up on this big tree that had fallen over and I finally killed Connor.

After game 2 we got some lunch which was awesome. Then we played a couple free for all games which was definitely fun, until I got shot in the neck haha I think there's still a little red mark haha Then another old high school buddy showed up and we got in another couple games before it started thundering and down pouring like crazy!

Today, Emilie and I watched an episode of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad. I definitely enjoy that anime, kind of funny :) I did take a nap, so there's a possibility of me being up quite late tonight haha but that's okay because I got my hands on every single Dirty Jobs episode, Dinotopia and the most important thing, the Spore Creature Creator!! I am going to have so much fun with that tonight, of course I first need to re-install Mac OS X Leopard Server on the Xserve, then I might do Mobile home directories, but we'll see.

Anyways, I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, I know it's not over yet, so go have so more fun!!

Well yesterday I had some consulting in the morning, it was for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, great place, great people. Unfortunately, the guy had some corrupt software so we ended up backing up his data and doing a re-install. Then I went to the Post Office and so many people were wondering about the iMac I was shipping off. They were amazed that there was no big tower and it was all right there in the monitor. I love it. Then I found out you can use your own pictures to make stamps which I thought was really cool. I think I might make some with Nippet, it'd be cool.

Then I called Jaime, one of the shipping guys at Small Dog since we're buds and I asked if I could just ship it through him since he's got access to WorldShip UPS software, so he can pretty much ship anything via UPS, and they're pretty much a drop off point anyways. He was totally cool with it and it saved me from having to drive up to the UPS Store in Stowe AND I was going to be at Small Dog anyways cause I had Daniel put aside some nice Klipsch speakers for me, so it would have worked out great. So after getting some lunch or something, I drove there and when I got there Jaime said I couldn't ship it there, that someone had told him not to allow me too. Now I won't name names, but this person has been kind of a douche bag on more then one occasion when I did work there. I mean seriously...why are you such an asshole, give it a break and stop licking the nut sacks of the CEO and CFO, it's lame. But whatever, I didn't want to get Jaime in trouble, he even agreed with me, so we left it at that. On the bright-side I spent more money with these asshats but I did get a nice pair of speakers and I did get to chat with Daniel and Eric, great people.

Didn't really do much last night, just hung out, I did was The Forbidden Kingdom. I enjoyed most of it, mostly because it was awesome to see Jet Li and Jackie Chan together. I do love them, I love watching Jet Li's stuff, I want to get all of it, and Jackie's. I thought it was cool how they had him doing drunken boxing which was in Legend of Drunken Master hehe

Being that I didn't get to ship what I needed shipped yesterday I took care of it this morning. I ordered the wrong name tapes again haha I got 3" tapes instead of 5" so I re-ordered them again. Craig should be shipping my gun out today or tomorrow, apparently the motor was to high so it was fixed and hopefully it's all good now. I can't wait to get that back.

I finally beat Resident Evil 1...only ~10 years after it came out. AWESOME GAME! I absolutely love the RE series. Star Fox Adventures is next on the list, I hope that's a quick on LOL. My Mom called today, she and Dad are in Ireland having fun. I talked to emilie this evening. I think we're going to go out to dinner at Koto when she returns from PA.

Tomorrow, I plan on working both the horses, hopefully outdoors if it's nice. makkintosshu and I might go out for lunch or something. Him, Keith and I played like 2 hours of COD4 tonight, definitely had a fun time. I am getting really addicted to using that G36c with the grenade launcher attachment. I am now level 46...woohooo!

Hope everyone had a nice day and have a lovely Thursday!

Yesterday I went up to Underhill back to that guys house and we played some airsoft games. When I got there, which was late, no one was there. We decided to shoot each other with pistols, definitely fun :) That lasted about 15-20 minutes until finally some people came. So we did 2v2 which pretty much sucked but I got a kill so it was okay. Then another guy came so it was 3v2 which definitely sucked too but it was fun...I really only got like 2-3 games in, then it was lunch time and then I left. Met up with emilie at the Richmond park and ride and we drove up to Burlington. She had to hit up Victoria's Secret and I perused the Game Stop store. Nothing interesting though. I can pretty much pirate anything for all the systems I've got and nothing that I would buy has come out yet. So after shopping we got some ice cream, definitely hit the spot. After that we drove home and I went to work at the barn, Emilie came along and hung out. The cat at the barn had some kittens, we're thinking about getting one, but before that happens, we're going to see how much it's going to cost to get the cat fixed...

Didn't really do much on Sunday night, Emilie fell asleep really early, I did wake her up around 9:30pm but she was so tired so I let her sleep. I came in around 10:30 and just passed out next to her.

Work up kinda early this morning...didn't do much. Emilie made us a nice breakfast, and then she basically hit the road. For the next 5 days or so I'll be holding down the fort. I played some Resident Evil this afternoon. I am only 20 pages away from completing the game. I bet I can complete it this week. Really great game! After playing for an hour or so, I headed out to the barn. Got my chores done pretty quickly, and came home. Didn't really do much else, David called me around 5:30 and I took a shower and went to his place. We played some Army of Two, then some Halo 3 and then finished up with Call of Duty 4. He's (rather his parents) got a 60" Sony WEGA TV, and it was definitely really nice playing on there, even with split-screen, I still had ~30 inches to myself :D Hah

Chatted with Emilie tonight via iChat, just watching some Lockup TV show. Kinda lame, but it's the only thing on. I've had enough of Deadliest Catch for the moment. I was watching some show about this scout sniper Marine, it was really good. MSNBC isn't to bad.

I think I'm off to get some food and pass-out in a bit. I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day and remembered those who've died for the freedom of our country. Have a lovely week kids <3

Heya everyone! Sorry I've not updated in a while (at least a real update). I've been trying to comment though, but with all this crazy business, it's been a bit hard.

Last Friday I headed down to Mass. to play some more airsoft games and I had a training. Friday, got down there around 8-9pm and we just grabbed some pizza and watched Rescue Dawn and passed out. Saturday, the 3 of us (Greg, Jess and I) went out to IHOP. It might have been the first time I've ever been there but I am not 100% sure. It was good though, minus the fake syrup (I guess living in Vermont has made me spoiled). Good stuff though! Then we went back to their place and Jess went to work and Greg and I decided to drive over to Federal Airsoft. It was about an hour and half drive, but worth it. Greg ended up getting a TM 1911, it's really nice although it's not my type. I got more for the Glocks. So we hung out there for probably 2-3 hours, Craig's always got good stories to tell, so that's fun. Got home around 7pm or something and hung out for the night, I can't exactly remember what we did.

On Sunday, we pretty much woke up, geared up and headed down to Bridgewater. We had to wait a bit cause they were still doing paintball and stuff. Training started like 45 minutes later then it should have which probably means we missed a lot of stuff. We got this really great book though which talked about many CQB tactics and stuff. I'll be reading through it when I finish my zombie survival book. So the training was cool, although a bit lame since we were using like "caution" tape to make rooms and walls, it would have been better if they actually had a real facility, oh well, it was only $10, so it wasn't a complete monetary waste.

After the training we got to game and it sure was fun, the first game we had good light, but about half-way into the second game it started to get dark which kinda sucked haha But it was a lot of fun. About 9PM it all ended, maybe a little bit after then, and we were home by like 10:30-11pm. Basically just passed right out haha I was soooo tired and sore.

Monday -- I left Mass about 9am. Stopped by emilie's work and we went out to lunch, got her just in time too hehe. Then I went and worked at the barn, we're back to our normal 3 stalls, which is nice, I did enjoy working more though, more money too $$$!! Monday night, just watched TV, read my book, nothing special.

Tuesday -- Had a bit of consulting in the AM, the clients drive was actually dead (it made sounds worse then I've ever heard, clicking AND squeaking LOL). So I'll be going back there with Ark to replace the drive. In the afternoon emilie and I went to see Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I only made it like 3/4th the way through the audiobook, I wanna listen to them all...but the movie itself was okay. It definitely didn't feel as epic as The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. It was good though, just not as fantastic as the first. I wonder why they're doing them out of order too?? As far as I know, The Magicians Nephew was the first one...anyways. Went to my parents for dinner and got some laundry done too. Just read books last night and sleep quite well...

Today I am going back to the vets (the client from yesterday) to replace the drive...I probably will just be watching since eMacs aren't my thing and they can kill (literally). Then I am driving down to the Apple Store in Salem, NH. If anyone wants to meet up, just say the word! I'll be down there from about 3:30 till 5pm I would think. My iPhone is crapping out on me. I am going to see if I can pay them an extra $100 (maybe just my $100 gift card) and upgrade to the 16GB and give Emilie my 8GB and then we can sell her 4GB. Dunno if they'll go for it though since it's a replacement unit...I also might get a black Macbook and sell this PowerBook. Anyways, it's going to be a looooong day haha

Have a lovely one kids!

I've actually been busy doing consulting work for once haha. emilie have been working pretty much every night at the barn this week, so we've been dead tired. I sold a couple things on eBay, worth $1200, so that was nice.

I did get this OD vest but it's not molle so it's either going back or up for sale on one of the various airsoft forums. I did order a Condor black vest though, just like my ACU one but in black, I will order the OD one when it goes back in stock.

I'm headed down to Massachusetts tonight around 6PM, this way I miss all the rush hour traffic. Uuugh I-95 is terrible lol. Then Greg and I will go out for some pizza or something, and tomorrow we might go play some mini-golf, maybe I can get him to go and see the new Chronicles of Narnia. It looks awesome. Then on Sunday we have our training and OP: Devil's Light II. Still not sure what vest I will be using :(

Just finishing up some emails and then I am going to the barn, then I am going to get my gear together and relax until about 6ish or so. I might go riding this afternoon, depends on how I feel.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Well it's been an awesome weekend over here. I hope you all did something fun! I went up to Underhill on Saturday morning, had a bit of trouble finding the guys house because there was no road sign, so I ended up driving past the street a couple times, woops.

I ended up getting like 6-7 MP5 magazines, a woodland camo vest, some BBs, and I think that's about it. Everything else he had was XXL or L or XL lol, much to big for me. Hopefully I'll get some games in with him and the rest of the VT crew. After that I hung out with emilie, I think we watched some Rush Hour 2 or something, and I got my gear together.

Around 1PM I left for Gregs. Got down there with no issues. Only Jess was there, cause Greg was off doing some work for this lady. He had to edit her entire final video project, it sucked ass.

Finally around like 9:30-10PM he got home. We hung out, then got some pizza from the place right below his apartment. It was good stuff too.

Sunday, we pretty much woke up, loaded up our gear and headed to Dartmouth for the game. The place was kinda ghetto, trashy, but it worked. At first there weren't too many people, enough for like 6v6, which was awesome. I didn't get shot at all the first game and we won. It was like 4-5 vs. 1 at the end and we killed him pretty good.

The second game, I think we won, but I cannot remember, it was fun.

Then the Horsemen arrived and it got crazy. It was like 8v8 or more, probably more like 10v10. It was fun, I had to walk through a friggin swamp though, so that sucked. There go those brand new boots. Oh well, we ended up kicking some ass. I don't think I died that game either.

The fourth and final game, we did loose I know that. Some kid flipped out and one of the team leaders ripped him a new one for being an asshat. Oh well, don't be stupid! Hopefully there will be some pictures posted soon, I know Greg took a couple, but one of the guys girlfriends was walking around shooting pics too. I'll post them when/if I get em.

Quite sore after all that, still a bit sore...after the games, we went back to Gregs apartment and basically crashed haha

Yesterday, Monday, I drove home, horrible traffic on I-95. Apparently they let people drive in the break down lanes...kinda odd, because where does one go if they break down? Haha But I made it home...first went to the barn and did my stalls. This week we've got double since they're down at the Spring Classic in Massachusetts. It just means more money and more backache for me!! I was going to ride since it was pretty nice yesterday, but I was still sore so I just went home, took a shower and caught up on emails and forums and stuff...I think I also read some of my zombie book and passed out until like 6PM lol.

Watched Rush Hour 3 with emilie last night. Pretty funny, I enjoyed it. I always enjoy the mess ups at the end of the movie in the credits.

Scheduled some consulting appointments for this week, I've pretty much only got 3 days this week to work, including this one. Short week, going back down to Greg's on Friday afternoon because we've got OP: Devil's Light II on Sunday. It also means I miss As I Lay Dying on Sunday :( Oh well, the games will be much more fun, AND it's training from some military and law enforcement people too, it's definitely going to be a lot of fun.

So today...not much, scheduled those appointments as I said...worked on some emails, paid some things...just relaxing I guess today, unless I get someone who needs consulting today. Might head over to the barn this afternoon to make sure we don't have to do stalls today. I kinda hope we don't but I have a feeling we do...we have to work every day though (except today, maybe). It'll be nice money though...

Alright, over and out!

Been busy with work as usual. I'm headed down to MA this afternoon to hangout with Greg and then we've got an airsoft game tomorrow down in Dartmouth. It's definitely going to be fun.

This morning I am headed up to Underhill to scope out some deals on tactical gear and some MP5 magazines. This will be neat and fun, finally meeting people within the airsoft community up here in VT! Hopefully I can score some good stuff.

I bought an Echo-1 G36C last night, came with a buncha extras too, only $140, crazy awesome deal. Hopefully I'll get it sometime next week. It's funny because without knowing who Greg bought his latest M4 from, it was the same guy I am getting this G36C from.

Still haven't gotten my black vest from the Army/Navy store, they said it'd be here on Thursday, it's now Saturday, and nothing...argh! I might have to stop by on the way down to MA.

So, I'll be back possibly Sunday afternoon/late evening, but probably Monday, late morning/early afternoon. It's going to be awesome, I'll try to take some photos.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Well I finally managed to get the news posted and Scribbld Top 5 going again, since i last checked we're still looking for 2 more communities or so, maybe three, I cannot remember.

On Friday, I had consulting in the AM, I was a bit late because I went West and not East. Not bad though, got a lot of work done on the job and convinced them to get Mac OS X Server instead of using client to run everything. It's going to be one hell of a transition, but I'll get it all figured out, I have a feeling it might be a multi-day process. It was fun though and the people are great.

emilie ended up forgetting her iPhone charger so I had to run that down to her after consulting. I was going to hit up the Army/Navy store, but I wanted to make sure that Greg approved of a black tactical vest going with woodland camo. Unfortunately, I didn't get the go ahead until I got home. Not sure I did much of anything else that afternoon.

Keith and I saw Iron Man that night. Definitely an awesome movie, I enjoyed it. Went out and grabbed a burger afterwards...

Saturday - Didn't really do much, I ended up going to the Army/Navy store, got some helmet covers, ACU and woodland, also got some MREs and black gloves. Also ordered a black tactical vest since it wasn't there when I got there. Fortunately it was the guy working, not that stupid terrible lady who needs massive amounts of work on her customer service skills. This guy was wicked nice, and fun, much better then her. So yeah, I should have the vest by Thursday, which is great.

I did go for a run in the morning, I managed to run up and down the street without a rest, which is good, it means I am in much better condition then I thought I was in. Of course this morning my legs are a bit sore, but nothing ot serious. I will continue with that because I don't want a severe ass kicking come the 18th when I have OP: Devil's Light with Greg.

I also went to see 21 last night with my sister and her friend. It was actually pretty good.

As for today, not much going on. Just taking care of a couple server things, I played some Unreal Tournament III this morning, definitely a lot of fun. Emilie should be home around 3, I am debating as to whether or not I should go work at the barn now, or when she gets here. I might just wait...the weather is just crap.

Well, I hope everyone has a nice weekend, over and out!

Well something in my gun got messed up and I actually figured it out and repaired it myself. I was really close to calling Craig at Federal Airsoft, but I figured I'd give it a go. Apparently a little cable came loose from the "gearbox" and all I had to was fix that and poof, it worked again! I was quite proud of myself considering I know nothing about how these work, but I definitely learned a lot.

Anyways, by accident I had put in the correct address but the wrong zipcode on my AirsoftGI order so it went the wrong way...fortunately it was the Moretown zipcode so it wasn't very far away. The driver endedup leaving all my stuff at Small Dog, which was a bit funny, but it gave me the chance to say hello to the warehouse guys.

Apparently Ryan quit and then Matt said hell no you're not, so Ryan stayed for another week, but after that he was done. No one has heard or seen him since, not even his parents which is a little sketcky...I might ask Troy for his number in Warren, cause it would be nice to know everything with him is okay.

Today I helped Keith move 21 bags of mulch from Montpelier to where he lives in Williamstown. Very easy. It was nice to kick it with him. Tomorrow we're going to see Iron Man. That's going to be a lot of fun. I was kinda hoping that makkintosshu could go with us, but I've not heard from him since Sunday I think it was. I hope things are getting a bit better for him.

emilie is bringing home pizza for dinner, that's going to be awesome. Tomorrow she's headed to RI to see her sick grandma and parents and all. She'll be back hopefully Sunday...Tomorrow I have consulting which is nice, hopefully it's short, and I'll have the afternoon to myself.

I believe the DNS issues are resolved with the site, DNS propagates throughout the internet much faster then it used too. I think that's about it, I've got to do some mail backup compression either tonight or tomorrow afternoon, I am sure that RAID set it getting pretty full by now...I've gotta by another 500GB drive and setup another RAID set at some point...

Alright, over and out!
