The Demon Werx

The boys are 6 months old today, it’s pretty crazy.

I need to weigh Conner, but Liam weighs approximately 18 pounds. Impressive for how small they were just 6 months ago.

I have pictures and videos I need to get off the wifes computer and in the gallery, and I guess on Facebook.

They are crazy cute and definitely showing their individual personalities.

It really is interesting being on a team that is essentially testing and proving bleeding edge process. It can be very fast paced as well as quite hectic too. I really hope that certain people dislike of an assortment of changes is not why they are making us jump through rather than prepping for further change and broader scale adoption. Enough about work though

So we were going to get the boys on the webcam tonight to show em off for family… however, Conner decided to not really sleep at all. This was a not so “yay” for Conner, he’s crashed and I didn’t give him a bath.

So… We’ll have to do the show of the babies another night.

I need to figure out how to post the videos on here and set them up to stream as well.

Until then,

We bought a Dyson this weekend because our old vacuum just isn’t cutting it AT ALL.

I tell you what, Dyson vacuums change the entire experience! It is one of the most amazing pieces of engineering I’ve ever touched!

So I’ve been fascinated by Tegra and it’s capabilities and it may be coming out soon!

We’ll see, I dunno if I’ll buy a Zune HD but if it has Tegra I’ll definitely put some thought toward it!

I saw an Evo 10 today, I must say it looks a hell of a lot cooler than the STi… The GTR still spanks both of them, but it’s very nice.

The boys are growing like WEEDS! Wow!!!

Check the Gallery out for more recent pictures (they are not in order because I switched SD cards on the camera).

I am starting a new position at work on the 18th as a Systems Administrator 1, it’s going to ROCK! but be tough and challenging work.

I have also been labeled as being in the Maniac phase of Linux, there is so much it can do and so little time.

So I have Windows7 install on my newest desktop, it’s pretty slick… Aero is nice, Linux calls it Vista… it’s the 32bit install though. So I got the 7000 build of the 64bit and have yet to install it. I am waiting for a friend to hook me up with possibly a more recent/stable build off of technet if it will even work.

The reason for me writing about it however is the lame fact that M$ is going to release the different versions of W7. Yay for marketing stunts, don’t get the ’starter edition’ it only lets you run 3 programs at a time, WHAT THE HELL?! Seriously folks?

Anyhow, the boys are growing like crazy we have pictures I need to upload. I am trying to get into a Systems Administrator position here at work, it sounds like its almost a done deal but still waiting on the offer.

So Ammon is out of the office today, I have no one to banter at… sad day.

I built a new computer last weekend, it was either attend happy hour or build a computer so I decided to make the computer pute.

It’s a:
E660 2.4 Core 2 Duo
BFG 9800GT 512Mb DD3 card (I should have gotten the GTX)
4×1Gb Gaming Ram (can’t remember the manufacturer)
1.5Tb Seagate Sata drive

Yup, thats about it… I might put my Audigy card in it, but we’ll see… the onboard audio started working last night after plugging in the right jacks in the back, still confused as to which 3 holes out of 6 will work for the 3 plugs.

It’s running Windows7, Windows XP, and Suse Enterprise Linux Server 11… of which are accessible: currently only Windows 7. I will be playing with Grub to get it so I can manage which OS will be running.

The guy who gave me the cpu, mobo, and ram wants me to Over Clock it (this chipset set records) so I will be looking into that in time as well.

w00t! on a new box!

Books currently being read: MySQL Developers guide, Java Head Start, and soon a Baby Brain Development book.

So I was given a very cool new phone – the Verizon Wireless XV6800.

I will put a picture of it up here soon, maybe after I used some of the hacks from xa-da to make it look like Windows Mobile 6.5.

So I play halo a bit and took a few screen shots the other day that look cool, here they are:

fun stuff.

They are growing like weeds and changing every day its awesome!

Life is interesting.

The boys are growing like crazy, work is always present, I haven’t been paying much attention to the economy (I probably should), my company is thriving (one of the few apparently), I like run-on sentences, we want a new Xc60 from Volvo, and I would like to build a VM machine.

Random? Meh, my little Dell computers are tough nuts to crack… and making one a domain controller kinda killed the ability to have it share files over the Workgroup, kinda sucky.

I was thinking the other day about iRobot and the 3 laws Isaac Asimov created as the 3 laws of robotics.

Given situations at work I have been learning lots about Office politics and as an excersize in mental something decided to wrap my mind around a possible adaptation of the 3 laws.

3 Laws

So Amok and I play Swat as often as the boys let me at night, it’s nice to vent some frustration with a BR in the virtual world.

Last night (3/3) I jumped in before Amok got on and played a few matches. One was pretty awesome:

Me versus 3 other people… who won? I did 34 to 25!

I was impressed. The last game I also got 28 kills. Fun stuff.

So I haven’t really put much on the website at all, been quite busy.

Conner and Liam are doing great, Conner screams and sounds like a velociraptor. This is almost deafening when he’s doing it in your ear. Liam is still the quieter of the two and usually only fusses when something is wrong.

Their vision is improving, so they can see and recognize objects at distance which is fun to watch them look at the fan and the vents, the Wife says they look at the sliding glass door as well.

The little guys are awesome and growing like fiends, I’ll put their height and weight once we get it next.

So life is crazy busy, with the boys and work… the wife goes back to work in the beginning of March. This is a good thing but will be a change to get used to as well.

I’m trying to get into another position that will be better for me and the family, cross your fingers for something that leads to less stress and more opportunity.

Amok got a Yaris!! (Fixed because I had Versa on the brain, sorry Yaris)

It’s tiny!

There is always crazy stuff going on, it seems to have hit my radar right now… but life goes on and my kids are super crazy cute!

Just want to put out here on the intertubes that Ammon, the guy who pays the bills for the hosting of all my sites, is awesome!

Good luck in picking out a new car and getting a good deal on it, we hope your shopping experience is good and your driving experience is even better.

We are glad we know Ammon for a number of reasons and hopefully will see him in a more coding less phone related work position in the future, he’s a scary talented coder.

Cheers man!

~Paul and family
