Miss one day and random coworkers comment to me about it. I think I need to look at my logs sometime and see how many people actually read this thing. Anyways work has been about as normal as possible. The Avalon thing is mainly waiting, but is still there pestering and making sure it's working. Between that and other random stuff that comes up, it's just enough to keep me busy most of the day, leaving just small gaps. Unfortunately those small gaps never are long enough to really dive into a project. I think after this Avalon thing finishes I need to just lock myself away and finish a few big things. After work Wednesday I went to Sam's Club with Joe and Doug, followed by Qdoba on the way back (the big reason I went along. That place is good, and will have to become a more popular destination. Maybe tomorrow's lunch can get people there. After that I started looking into prepaid internet stuff similar to calling cards but for net access. One of my coworkers mentioned them and seeing as I have a vacation coming up I decided it was either that or voice calling card and abuse another source of free net access. Either way it's billed by the minute, which I've used in the past with pretty decent luck, but last time I was on a trip of that type there was no phone line to use. I figured might as well look at cell data plans, but figured they wouldn't be good because of the base cost. Turns out that Verizon will let me get 14.4kbps from my phone for just the cost of minutes, which is unlimited for what I'd plan on using. Plus I can use it almost anywhere in the country. So now I just need to figure out how to get the DKU-5 cable to work under linux or get a QuickMobile cable which unfortunately seems to only come with software that costs $20 more. :( Anyways Thursday night I hung out at Bethel for a bit more, and then went home. Caught up on the tech news a bit, and then started reworking my start page. Nothing too big, mainly move a few links, add a few, and change where some point within sites. Maybe I'll have something solid and upload it this weekend. I have to get up at a semi-reasonable time this Saturday, but hopefully I can use most of the weekend to just relax and ignore everything...
