So, while I could sum up bits and bit of the last two days, again, I am sticking to a picture, and a short story - I was laying down after breakfast (sleep is still messed up) - and just before the alarms went off about a customer’s server being down (another story for another time), I heard a noise and had to investigate things - when I got up, I saw this:
The cat climbed into a box in my room which was way too small for her, but she enjoyed it. LoL. More later, going to do a little work on servers, then try to go back to sleep after a 7hr nap. Hope Everyone had a good Christmas.
So tonight we had Christmas Eve at Michael’s parents house, it was good fun - good food, good pie, good dogs so a fun evening, I’d post more, but it’s been a long two days, and I am going to go mindlessly go and finish my mom’s gifts up, for whatever reason I am still not 100% sleepy, so I am going to finish my last 9 then try sleep again.
Well a random bit, was just talking to my mom, and apparently my sister four another item stolen, Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. I had lent it to them to see, and apparently the folks breaking into their house had not seen it either. LoL - It really doesn’t bug me, just a movie, but just odd the selection of what these folks stole… I mean they could of had a TV, a Wii, some games, various other things - but they seemed to be going for almost pocketable goods. Odd indeed.
But thats my random bit for the night, no tickets at all today, all sites seem to be functioning well enough, so going to plan out the other migrations to PHP5, and go from there, for now though, I am going to flip on the TV, and go mindlessly into a world of sleep (or such is my goal). Night.
Well - I was just talking with my dad as he talked to my sister, her house was broken into - they opened all the Christmas presents, took their laptop, all their gift cards they had gotten, and left things like their Wii - but took the high-dollar tequila bottle which was a gift. Odd indeed. They found things like their clothes drawers and closet - a bad feeling indeed. So sad stuff.
I did manage to get out of the house, but nothing out there, just can’t seem to get going the last few days, I think I may have the flu, as I have been dragging or feeling sick for the last few days - that or I am pregnant, ya just never know. Well back to staring at my wall.
Ever just have that desire for something? Well I have one right now and it’s chicken, I dunno why, I had Nacho’s for dinner, but that didn’t seem like enough, so at 3am I think I am going to head towards JNB and snag the chicken club. Mmm.
So some updates (aside from the fact that I love chicken) my dad is doing good, he got the results back from his CT scan which basically told the Doc that my dad fought too much in his youth. He found that my dad basically had deformed/damaged cartilage in his nose which was making it hard for the sinus infection he has to clear, so aside from some anti-biotics in his future, they are talking about a 3hr procedure to fix the issue and put in some tubes - which from the sounds of it would make his breathing issues as of late go away. So good news there.
In other news, had Teppanyaki on Friday with the gang, twas tasty (I had chicken then too) - afterwards myself, sis and bro-in-law, and sara went and saw “I Am Legend” and while I think Will Smith did a great job in his role, the story line needed some tweaking, sure sure it could of ended “sort of” the same way, but they lined up some plot possibilities then walked away from them, that and if you like dogs - don’t go. LoL. I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone who wants to go see it, it’s not a “Buy on DVD!” for me, but I may rent it when it comes out.
Coding news, slow going, but going. This week I am going to push forward REALLY hard, and try to just get things finally wrapped up on several fronts - I have a easy project Monday installing a cart, not a TON I have to do until they get me a finalized design on that end, but for the basic install, maybe an hour to get it fine tuned and happy - but the rest of the coding projects, should be fun to push forward and finish up, I want to have the customer sign-up and sign-in done by the end of the week and a skeleton of the admin done.
CentOS 4.6 upgrades came thru last night, final few go thru this morning on 4 other systems, so pretty smoothly, no problems reported. The next few days will be more server fun deploying PHP5 slowly across the board, I am going to do it on a server Wednesday is my current plan, and then another Friday after the clean-up I am sure will need to happen on the first server - also on that list above and beyond PHP5 is MySQL5, but I think on that front after the server migration will be the plan on that as I haven’t even visited that in testing.
Anywhoo - that’s the update - I hope to have Lunch with Mr. Poon this week, and I am trying to come up with something clever for this next Friday - so lots to do, only 120 hours to get it rolling so have a good week folks!
For a good long while now I have been wanting to take a road trip to see my grandparents and assorted other family members - as always, something holds me up and I can’t ever find the time, but this morning my mom asked me before I passed out if I wanted to tag-team the trip with my dad, as he wants to see his folks, and she knows I want to go nuts with a camera (heck the road trip alone, Washington + Snow? Oh yes).
So I am looking at my schedule, I want to get some things done, and I am thinking about ditching the T-Mobile Wireless package, as nice as it is, Sprint has their Wireless Broadband in both my local area, as well as along the travel path, if nothing else, I’ll trial it on the trip but we’ll see how it all goes, just need to get some things wrapped up here and figure out a plan with my dad to get the route all figured out.
Good stuff, so keep me in your prayers that I can get this all rolling! Donations to the travel fund are appreciated but should be a interesting trip, if we take my care it’ll be its first out of state trip (go car!) and hopefully lots of good fun! Anywhoo - back to work, lots to do.
So what do you do when it’s 2am, you can’t sleep, its a holiday, and the only think you can think to do is literally - stare at the wall? Well of course, pull out season 3 of house, put in a random disk (disk 5!) and start watching. But what a week thus far, got some projects done, some nearly rolling for testing nearing production, good stuff.
The PO Box is active and working, just switched out all of the billing systems to the new address for the few that utilize Check as a payment method, even then I am working to slowly phase it out and move to eCheck by default for “Check” payments, as I have outgrown most of the kiddos who pay via Money Order - but fun fun now that I have a PO Box + the box is closer than the old mail stop.
Anywhoo - it’s been 5 years since I started blogging as of last month, kinda crazy really - but for now I am going to go do my nightly rounds, stop the episode, and try for some sleep, bro will be here in the AM with Guitar Hero 3, I got Raving Rabbids 2, so tomorrow for the turkey fun we’ll have some games - I gotz 5 ciders and 2 nogs - tasty beverages = good. Now I have something to dream about now. Night. Happy Thanksgiving.
so a fun evening, I’d post more, but it’s been a long two days, and I am going to go mindlessly go and finish my mom’s gifts up, for whatever reason I am still not 100% sleepy, so I am going to finish my last 9 then try sleep again.
