So if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been busy lately. As I sit here babysitting a 4-hour file transfer for work, I am realizing that I’ve been working waaaaaay too much lately. The good news is that I do good work, and make sure that stuff gets done. The bad news is that it comes at the expense of my hobbies. I’ve had way to many things going on that have been keeping me from my blog/twitter/etc.
There is some good that came from it all though:
1) I found the joys of Netflix! Holy cow how did we ever live without Netflix?!?!? My wife and I would DVR our favorite shows, but on nights when there aren’t any of them (most nights since summer started), we are stuck with nothing to watch. This leads to some pretty crappy television time. On one of those nights, while I was on my 360, I decided to try out their Netflix trial. It’s been pretty great so far. I get about 2-3 movies a week in the mail, and then have a massive list of streaming movies that are ready to go when all else fails.
2) This leads to another good from it all: The IT Crowd is the funniest darn show I’ve seen in a long, long, long time. I stumbled upon it on Netflix’s streaming shows and I have gone through the first two seasons (in one night!). My favorite had to be the episode where they go to the theatre. I almost wet myself about 8 times during that one. I was trying to hold my new baby while watching it, but it turns out that he doesn’t sleep while his Dad is coughing up a lung due to excessive laughter. How did I go this long without knowing about this great show?!?!
3) I bought Fallout 3 on steam on Sale. I’ve only played a couple hours worth, but so far its pretty fun. I remember playing the original Fallout long ago, and I must say: Fallout 3 stays pretty close with its atmosphere. I’ve got over 3 hours left of waiting tonight, so after I write this post, I think I’m going to play some more.
Well, even with the work lately, I’m still not quite done. We’re doing a ton of projects at work, which unfortunately are fun. I am truly a IT nerd when I get so excited about SAN’s and offsite replication. Not to mention new websites, new networking equipment, network redesigns with more VLAN’s and new Cisco equipment. Those are just a few of the reasons why my game/prototype has gone dormant for the last couple months. Plus the fact that there is a 6-week old baby here at home and that should be enough of an excuse.
Well, I just wanted to prove that I still am alive. ‘Til next time.
