Nothing to say here
It's been a while since I posted anything to the blog. I figured I'd take a page from Seth's blog and make some random lists. Read the full entry for the updates.
Projects on the horizon:
* List Manager. Yeah I haven't forgotten about it.
* USB Ethernet Driver for Mac. I'm planning on getting some work done on that but I'd really prefer to kick someone over at DLink and get -them- to get their act together with Mac drivers.
* Job Search. I need to follow up on a bunch of resumes that I've sent out. I also have a few interesting leads that came up this past week. I need to follow up with the recruiter I was speaking to in Maine also.
* Reading. I've been doing pretty well; almost a book a day. It helps that the particular books I'm reading (Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series) are very quick reads. I'm getting a little concerned though, because Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon is up next. Amazon pegs it at 1168 pages. That'll be at least a 3-day book. *grin* Unless I don't do ANYTHING else those days.
* Gaming. I finally got my XBox. Fusion Frenzy is a lot of fun. I thought there were 3-4 distinct games in it. It turns out there are (estimating) about 40! Check out the review at Amazon for details. I have other games my speed (Tetris Worlds, Pac Man World 2) on order. There are a good half-dozen other games I will want to own, and a few others that I'll rent for a bit (Hulk, Star Wars, etc.).
* Travel. I've gotten most of the side trips done. I still want to go see a few friends from NJ, and we have visitors coming here for most of the rest of August and the first week of September.
That's about it - there are a lot of things I'm doing and they take up my time pretty well. I need to start prioritizing them a little better, other than that I'm still enjoying unemployment.

I just finished Cryptonomicon...it came highly recommended from someone whose opinion I used to trust. It was overly long. Although I enjoyed a lot of it, it seemed to ramble (not surprising for 1300 pages...fine print). Worst of all, I was very disappointed by the ending...I can't say more w/o spoiling it for you. If you read it, we'll chat. ;) I don't recommend your wasting that much time.
