Doom 3 has finally gone GOLD. I have been waiting for this game for quite a while now. So I guess that means its almost time to upgrade the computer again. Maybe score an Athlon 64 board with PCI Express (do they even have those yet?). With Doom 3 out now, my other hope is that HalfLife 2 will also be released soon. Although after the initial hype of Id’s latest creation has worn off.
I installed Fedora Core 2 today at work on an extra Athlon XP machine I had sitting at my desk. I had just enough time to do a FULL install (6+GB) and install Webmin and begin a package update and then I headed out the door. Apparently they are installing some new supports for a window washer on our building’s roof so they were jack hammering into the ceiling above my head. There were pieces of ceiling time and drywall falling all over the place. Our building is a piece of shit.
Its starting to warm up around here now, “June Gloom” is over. When I walked into the apartment today (about 20 min ago) the temp was 77 inside. Not to bad, but a little warm for my liking. Monday I get to drive up to an offiste in Santa Maria, which I believe is in Santa Barbara county, the south end of wine country. We are going up to check out the office since I have never been up there, but also to check out the area, its supposed to be really nice.
I have so many projects going on at work right now that its hard to get anything done. I’m currently working on a login script in VBScript to cover all the needs of our 2K plus users, rewrite the intranet homepage using some COTS or homegrown CMS software in PHP, Perl, MySQL or whatever else they want it in, finsih some Premiere work that I have been putting off for a month, and develop some courseware for another training session that I’m trying to put together. Loads of stuff to get done. I really need an assistant (which I’m really pushing for with the people in my office and my boss). Now if only the funding would come through…. maybe in October.
Kelly just wrapped for the day and is going to be on her way home soon. There was a fatal traffic accident at the 405 and the 101 about two hours ago that is still backing up traffic, so who knows how long it will take Kelly to get home. So we are probably going to be ordering some pizza for dinner. Time to go look for some coupons…
