My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
My dad’s first comment to me and Carissa was that we should buy that house. They went through the house today with the camera and my parents were both really excited! I’m inclined to agree. My dad sees a lot of things we could do to improve it but he seems to think that the house is in great condition and it’s really a steal. We’re still wondering why the house’s price is so low, but we really can’t pass this up.
I had a CT scan today so they could look at my sinues. The headaches are still here and they really bother me. I’m a little worried that they are going to find something serious though. I’m probably just worrying over nothing.
Most of the houses we saw were just awful. We were starting to feel like we weren’t going to find anything good in our price range. The house I was exited about just isn’t big enough. It’s very nice and really well designed, but it’s pretty small. We did find one place, though. It has five bedrooms and a huge basement. It doesn’t have air conditioning, so I’m very apprehensive about that.
We’re going to look at some houses today. We’ve rounded up seven houses and we’ll be spending the afternoon with our current landlord who we have hired as our broker. I’m really excited to look at one house in particular, although it looks like it may already have an offer so it may be off the market. It has a really niced finished basement with a family room. I would love a finished basement.
I’m sitting here in the classroom having just finished up the lab for the day, and I am completely in awe of the fact that I haven’t received any work-related emails today. This means that either nothing happened, or nobody is telling me about it. Either way, that’s fine with me, as I am going to be grabbing some beers with two of my good friends in a few hours.
Cheeseburgers at Night Originally uploaded by bphogan. During our Oracle training, we discovered how great this place was and our instructor wanted to go there for lunch. We told him that it was only open at night, but he insisted that it was open. Upon arriving, he saw that the lights were on so he did a victory dance only to immediately discover that the doors were locked. I took this photo that evening as a gag.
These tips were found over at the Firefox Support Forums site. The ones listed here are the ones I use all the time and so I thought I would share. If you’re not using Firefox yet, you should. CTRL+T (Control + T) opens a new blank tab. Instead of clicking the Back or Forward buttons, hold down the Shift key and turn the scroll wheel to back or forward. You can also use
There's a new version of the iPod software available for download today. It adds some new features to all of the iPod models, including my old G2 model. On the G3 and above, it adds a new “Import Photos” option that is supposed to be used with a new camera accessory that will be coming out in the next few months. This could be a great thing for photographers. I've always wanted the ability to store photos on my iPod.
Lately, I’ve been busy doing things other than playing online, such as taking care of a sick Ana and getting some rest myself, as I seem to have caught a bit of what she had. This Sunday, I leave once more for some Oracle training. This is the last time I have to go, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m going to miss my family but I love to learn.
I just finished getting settled into my hotel room and I went for a walk around the outside mall which is located right outside the back door of the hotel . The hotel is really nice. I have three wireless Internet access in my room so I can sit on The chair or on the bed and do my e-mail or write an entry in my blog. Have a look at my pictures that I posted on the site.
