WOW! its been a long time since my last update... and a really long time since an update on my personal life.
anyway, here is a quick run down of stuff going on in my life:
i traded my laptop i had for an old Acer system. the system is all black, including the monitor. the system was a Pentium 60, with 8 megs of ram. i gutted the main system and put a Pentium MMX 266 in it with my Banshee and TV card. it now serves as a nice entertainment center in my new place - which brings me to the next event in my life -
i just moved! i finally got out of my mom's basement after months and into an apartment with my wife and daughter. its a nice spacious two bedroom place in my hometown. rent is cheap, and its in a great location. i was able to keep my same phone number after moving (my phone number has changed like 5 times in the past three years for every time i moved).
there were two bad things about moving, one was that i am without DSL again, and stuck on a 56k modem (which i make connect at 33.6 for games). the other bad thing is that i can't have gerbils! one of the things that was on the contract here was that small animals like mice, gerbils, rats, ferrets, etc are not allowed. that means that this is the first time in 11 years that i dont have a gerbil! no more gerbil cam, ever (or at least until i move to someplace where having a gerbil is allowed).
