I apologize for not posting many blog entries myself lately. Between trips to Washington, D.C., St. George, Utah, and taking care of various things, my time has been intensely short and precious. I promise to be more verbose in coming weeks 🙂 Quick news about me:
* Bought myself a new (to me) Power Macintosh, and stripped another one of my computers to provide parts to get it running again. For the money, it’s quite, quite cool.
* Trying to complete a project where I work, and it has been incredibly mentally taxing.
* Had to take down barnson.org’s photo gallery due to security exploits. Will have a new one up, once I have about four hours to put together.
* Needing to upgrade my Drupal weblogging software. Got a good working prototype, but a few niggling problems, like my theme not working, have prevented me from upgrading.
* Had to deal with a spammer creating hundreds of anonymous postings on my site. So glad that I don’t allow anonymous publication — you need to have a working email address to post without moderation. Still, the cleanup from that stunk, even though nobody could see the spam but me.
* Doing my regular volunteer work for The Free Software Foundation has been taking up some spare time, as well as some charity work for other organizations. I must learn to say “no”…
So what’s new for you? Other than Sammy’s house, of course 🙂
What’s new with me?
Still readjusting to living in Maryland, but very happy. Adjusting to my new job (which is surprisingly similar to my old job), and trying to sock money away in the bank in order to buy a home in a few months.
Dani started a new job this week, working as an HR consultant. That’s going really well so far. Joey’s adjusting to his new day care, is breaking in two new molars (ouch!), and is spouting new words every day – yesterday it was “ducky”.
Got my LSAT scores back — a 173 out of 180, 99th percentile. So I’m feeling pretty good about my chances of getting into a first-tier law school. Keeping my fingers crossed!
