And Ghandi II
What is this "blog" you speak of?
Wow, it's been awhile. Sorry for going MIA on everyone!
Update, the fast version;
Thanksgiving saw us travelling to three different homes for food, across three different counties. That's nearly three turkeys we got to enjoy. Lots of driving, and lots of fun getting to see everyone!
We went to Tucson right before Christmas and Kaiden got to meet his Great Grandma Donna (my side) and his Great Aunt Diana for the first time. He also got to be shown off by his Grandpa Jensen to the whole ward down there. Tucson is weird. And I'll leave it at that. Tine's parents are back in Utah, but not in Salt Lake City. They bought a place up in Bear Lake and come down often for Jim's work.
We went down to a friend's place in Lehi for New Year's. We love going there, as they have a tendancy for making WAY more food than eny normal person could hope to eat, and it's all wonderful.
The Watson's (Cathering, Jeff, and baby Vanessa) visted in the first week of January, and Kaiden and Vanessa got to be aquainted. It was so cute watching her freak out (good way) about seeing him. She'd give almost this painful squeal and try to play with him. Catherine managed to catch some very good pictures of the two of them together.
Work is the same, no change. At least on my side. Tine is no longer employed, and is enjoying her time with Kaiden at home. I've thrown my SI joint in my back (again) and am frequenting my chiropracter.
On the note that no one cares; started up my server and it's rock solid! FINALLY! That's what I get for trying to expiriment in 30 different things at once, and not knowing what I'm doing in a single one of them. I tried running my own mail server, but screwed up and left the relay open and was hijacked by spam bots. WHOOPS. I'm in the middle of building a new website which I hope to have up and running (as soon as I leanr another programming language).
I've installed Windows Media Center Edition and have also enabled a Media Center Extender to my Xbox. Suddenly my wife likes my Xbox! We use it as a Tivo (for free) and to play all my computer based music and videos on our main entertainment center.
I've now witnessed 4 signs of the apocolypse:
1) Apples are now PCs (and I'm lauging at all the zealots who kept blowing it off as a hoax).
2) Xbox 360 is an Apple G5.
3) Microsoft Windows's source code is now available through license.
4) My wife enjoys using my Xbox.
Yup, business as usual.
