Catching up

I know I haven’t posted in almost two years… it has been a busy two years. I am going to try to get into a schedule of posting at least twice a week from now on… if a week goes by without at least a post feel free to email me and demand that I write something!

I have switched my blog from TextPattern over to WordPress. I like TxP but WP 2.7 was just too sweet to pass over. I changed my theme in the process, but may port my LCARS theme over to WP at some point in the future. We’ll see.

Things with the wife are going well. We had some issues early in our marriage, but I think all married people do. We’ve gotten past that though. Yay!

I am not working at Home Depot anymore… I haven’t since June of 2007. Since August of 2007 I have been working at WalMart. I am an instock supervisor there now, which means that I am in charge of the people who unload trucks and stock the shelves. It has it’s challenges but overall it is a job that I do quite well (I am told) and enjoy most days.

I haven’t had an internet connection for the last two years, other than on a crappy cell phone, and am finally getting involved in some of the sites I have been reading about. You can now find me on identica, last.fm, twitter, facebook, and myspace (which is really retweets of my identica posts). I don’t have much under any of these accounts as they are all fairly new but if you want to follow me, feel free.

For Christmas my wife got me a new laptop. It is a low-end Compaq, but is the first new computer I have ever owned, and after installing Ubuntu on it, I have had no problems with its speed. It is nice being able to click the Firefox logo and have the window open without having time for a coffee break. I still don’t have internet (because I refuse to do business with the only company that provides broadband in my area) but am stealing borrowing my neighbor’s wifi.

Hopefully I will remember to use that borrowed wifi to post another entry within the next few days.
