So there are still people here...
I know I know... Its been awhile.
I don't know why but I just am not all the motivated to write lately.
It is good to see that some people still show up here. I still get the occational "why haven't you updated your blog?" and I honestly cant answer that. Oh well, I guess I try.
General Life update:
I am working again. The company is call Magpie Telecom Insiders. I am having a lot of fun because they operate in a very modern way for development called "Extreme Programming" (sounds cool huh). We work together in pairs on projects instead of one person on one project, basically every one of us will touch every part of the project and be working with someone who knows that part very well. That makes the overall knowledge of the system much better and easier to work with.
Basically we are writing software for a STB (Set top box) to be used for streaming television over the internet. It looks a lot like your digital cable box except that it is all over the internet instead of over the cable system. Pretty cool.
I am really excited to have my own computer again, I finally got it and it is exactly what I want. I have it dual OS's on it, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP. So far I like Linux a lot but I still am not ready to make the leap completely. Right now it is Linux for work and Windows for personal stuff (Games mostly, finance software, Watching DVD's)
I am training again for the Marathon On August 26th. I'm in much better shape than I was last year but I have not been training as much as I was. We will see how it goes.
My roommate Kristen is moving out today, I will miss her being around. I may have complained from time to time about her but nothing huge. She is headed to grad school for architecture. Good Luck Kristen!
So that's what I've got now, I have a lot I should have written about but part of my failure with the blog is I failed to follow Erickson rule #43: It is Easier to keep up than to catch up. So, I'm going to cheat and call myself caught up and maybe Ill be able to keep up from now on.

Seems I learned a new lesson today, I cant seem to publish from the Linux side. Either that or firefox, I tried to post this earlier but it would not work, so I swiched to Windows and used IE and it worked fine... Oh well
So, wanna hang out sometime before I get out of this town? I'd love it. Miss hanging out with you.
Sure Toni! I would love too. When do you leave?
Good to see you're back. I don't know if you monitor the hits you get, but I've been chacking back from time to time to see if anything new has happened. Oh and I sent you an invite on X-Box Live if you still play on Thursdays. Or any other day for that matter. Time zones might be a hindrance though.
I posted a big long message days ago. Why hasn't it shown up yet?
Stan, It showed up now... I think it is a problem with blogger.. anyway I all in for some x-box live. except that I just got a new account so I did not get your friend request.. my new Gamertag is Larak1n
What is yours?
Mine is Pissdkid. I sent you a friend request the other night.
Congratulations getting on with Magpie. And getting to do XP/agile, too.
I taught Scripting Web Tests (with Watir and Ruby) at the Agile2006 conference last week.
Drop me a line sometime...
Justin!!!! Write a new blog. I miss you and want to be able to read about your life since I'm so busy I can't call people all the time. Love you.
