Had a get together with a few ex-OA groupies yesterday. Drank way too much… My head hurts… In spite of my massive hang over I managed to do some more upgrades to my here network. My main workstation has been upgraded to a faster 20 GB Maxtor hard drive and the 20 GB from it has been moved to this machine. Now this machine has a whole lot more breathing room for sharing my MP3’s and videos across the network. Very nice.
OA Group Inc. officially folded today. Only four days before my resignation date. It is unclear as of yet if I will get my last pay check or not (including due vacation pay). Starting Monday I’m starting at Triton Networking, my new employer; this will be a combination sales / tech job. Until then, I’ve got some time off to enjoy.
Finally decided to discard my massive uptime and do some upgrades to the ol’ rusty Linux server. The hard drive has been upgraded to a 4 GB and the memory has been upped to 32 MB. Wow!
Rotten son of a…! On my way to Falher (fortunately only a couple hours away from the city) my car ran itself out of oil and died. The car has been leaking oil bad as of late, as I had just filled the oil before I left on my camping trip a mere few days ago. Since the sun outside was so bright I was unable to see my oil light when it went on, by the time the engine stalled and I pulled over to add more oil it was too late. The good ol’ Aries is likely a goner.
This leaves me in a real rough spot. First off my vacation is screwed, second I don’t have a vehicle nor the money to get one. What a way to ruin the day. If you excuse me, I’m going to go kick a post multiple times while screaming various obscenities.
What an absolute blast! Just arrived back from our three day camping trip at Pigeon Lake. We had an excellent time, with friends, beer, and the usual camping gear. My head still hurts, but I’d do it again in a heart-beat! Now as soon as I sober up I’m going to make the long haul up to Falher to visit with Diane for a few days. Pictures of everything are sure to follow shortly after I return. Cheers!
