My so-called life.

Man, so much stuff going on I don't even know where to begin. * First off, as Brian alluded to, I have indeed found new gainful employment, and I'll be finishing up here this week. Tons of stuff left to do, lots of little projects to clean up, documentation to write, knowledge to transfer, paradigms to shift, etc. I'm pretty stoked about the new position. It's a pure .Nizzle development job, although they work mainly with VB.Nizzle (ick.) Pehaps I will convince them of the beauty and love that is C#. * One of the cooler things about the new job is that it'll be a longer bike ride, up to about 14-15 miles from my current 8. That will be a nice healthy run... I'll probably do it just once or twice a week and feel great about it. I was worried that the roads I thought I'd have to go on were too dangerous, but various people have told me that there's ways I can go to get there without getting my brains splattered all over the road, so sometime soon Dave and I will probably do a dry run in the car. In order to get ready for the longer ride, I'll be picking up a mini-pump ("This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby"), a spare tube, and a patch kit. * I've gotten it in my head recently that I'd like to have a new digital camera that actually takes half-decent pictures. I've settled on the Olympus C-4000, partly because it gets really good reviews, and partly because my current camera is an Olympus, which means my SmartMedia cards will work in that one, too. I really don't want to spend the money on a new one, so I'll just sort of troll eBay and see if I can find one for around $200-250, or a little more if it comes with a case/SmartMedia card/NiMh batteries/etc. * One of the features of MT(Movable Type) that's turned out to be the most interesting has been the Activity Log. One of the things it shows me is what people are searching on, in a more real-time way than my weekly stats. It's neat to see what people are looking for, whether they're trying to find out info about my best friend, or just doing some straight narcissurfing (Hi Paul Fontana! :-P).
