So yeh...I haven't been posting much lately. Had a monster project last fall that flew me 15,000 miles around the state in 14 weeks and then I came off that to a complex beast of a certification test I had to complete ASAP on a piece of hardware I've never even seen, much less worked on. Got those done and just haven't felt chatty/posty since then.
Significant events in the last 6 months.
--
kokuten Moved out in December. He'd been talking about it for awhile,and finally decided to do it. He was the longest roommate I'd ever had, right at 7 years. Its been a bit strange with him gone.
-- The now spare bedroom has become a TV/Media room. He left his projector behind(no room) so I got some speakers and we bought a couch and put the old DVD player in there as well as the Wii we got for Xmas and we have a nice largescreen TV viewing room with a nice sort of L shaped couch to lounge on.
-- Cleanout.
angie_di decided to host a Pampered Chef party after leaving her name in a drawing at the Wedding Show last winter, so we spent about 2 weeks cleaning out a ton of stuff. The dining room was spotless if you can believe it, table cleared and all the boxes gone and most of the computer gear gone(the cabinet is still there, but its going out in the shed later this summer). I finally decided that I just don't need the level of parts I'd been stockpiling, and pitched a ton of the really old stuff. We also got the TV room in shape for company finally, with nice curtains(and blackout shades behind them) and cleaned out the living room so it was tolerable. Its backslid some since then but its still not too bad.
-- Computers. About 3 weeks ago I was told "You WILL figure out a way to let me work on my photos, OR ELSE!" Being a relatively intelligent person, i did not inquire about what the "OR ELSE" might entail, and ordered her a new PC from Dell Refurb. I got it setup and all her photos migrated into it and she promptly showed me up in how fast she could sort/rate/post photos. And she's getting to be a better photographer than me too.
After getting her PC done, I had to image a PC for
frozenbunz, reimage her daughters PC after she got a ton of viruses, and install a new keyboard/reimage to remove viruses from
northrngirl's laptop. Lotta PC work there.
Can't think of much else. I hope to be posting a bit of my photowork soon...I really need to get caught up and show what I've been shooting the last year or two.
