Cisco stuff

Earlier this week I took a Cisco class. It taught me how to do subnetting and the like on the first day. After that we dove into Cisco routers and learned the in’s and out’s of them. We also learned a lot about the switches and some about the PIX firewall. I am jazzed a …

theuncle.com a go go

“theuncle.com” is going to be moving hosting companies in the next few days. I am hoping the downtime will be kept to a minimum but one can only hope. I know I have not been updating for a while but I have been busy with work and other endeavors. I hopefully will have enough time …

The weekend

This past weekend was a somewhat busy one. On Sunday, 03/10/2004, my wife and I went to the rodeo. Reba was singing for that night. She was in good form and I actually enjoyed going. UPDATE [03/26/2004]: I just noticed the mistake. I bet I was looking at the wrong month. It should have been …

Computer room

My computer room is almost finished. It has been a lot of work but I can actually walk in the room now. Once it is totally done I will be able to do work in there. Anyway, gotta go…lates…

Cisco were art thou…

I know I have not updated in a while but life has in fact kept me busy. Tomorrow I will be finishing my move from my old apartment to the one my wife and I live in now. My computer room is still a mess because I have not had the time to clean it …

Honeymoon and more…

Well, that was a fun week of being on a Honeymoon. Nicki and I went to San Antonio for the whole week. We did all sorts of things and have pictures to boot. I am still sifting through most of the pictures that are of a digital nature but some are up right now. If …

Less than two days…

Less than two days until I get married. I have always hated standing in front of people. Now I will have to do so and say my vows in front of some people. I seem to be one to go against my nature a bit more recently but that, I guess, is love…sometimes. It’s all …

Not too long to wait.

It seems that less than a week until I get married. It will be a good thing. On another note, I have been busy due to the aforementioned topic and other stuff. I still have to move ASAP after the wedding and honeymoon. There is never enough time in the day. lates…

The New Year

The New Year’s Eve thing was cool. My nephew and I shot off some fireworks. Toward the end we did a stupid thing and held onto the launchers for the artillery shells. Charlie was able to hold onto it somewhat ok… I on the other hand was more worried about holding too tight and restricting …

Merry Christmas

I wish all that see this, and those who don’t, a Merry Christmas.

Handel’s Messiah

Nicki and I went to the Houston Symphony and listened to Handel’s Messiah. I really enjoyed it. Nicki did not enjoy it like she did the Ballet. I rather enjoy listening to Classical music and the like. It was nice to hear the Christmas carols and other songs done the way HM did it. Anyway, …

The Nutcracker Ballet

On the 14th of December we went to see the Nutcracker. I cannot say I enjoyed the whole thing but the first part was ok. I think the reason I did not like the second part was that the whole thing was centered around entertaining the main character which was dreaming all this. That got …

Stupid ACLU

I have a few problems with the ACLU. In case you did not know ACLU means ‘American Civil Liberties Union’. What a name for an origanization that promotes abortions. Not only do they accept abortions as a right instead of murder on American children but they flaunt that fact. They of course spin it in …

Affirmative Action or lack thereof…

I don’t normally state my thoughts on anything political, as people tend to enjoy sending hate mail if they disagree. I do however have to applaud the president of Texas A&M University for holding his ground and not allowing race to enter the equation when it comes to admissions. It should be based on merit. …

Engaged Encounters

This coming weekend Nicki and I are going to a get-together called Engaged Encounters. It is a Catholic thing for couples getting married in a Catholic Church. Since I am Roman Catholic and we will be getting married at St. Jerome Catholic Church in Houston, TX we have to go to the EE for a …

No time for fun…usually

Well, fun for me is usually working and toying with computers. Sometimes I bring out my left-handed guitar and pretend like I am good at playing it. I do have the natural talent for computers but none for anything musical. In other words, you would not want to be in the same room when I …

IT LIVES!!!

Kramer was revived and is working again. I do not, as of yet, have Active Directory enabled on it but it is working fine as a local file server again. Now, my main system can back itself up to somewhere again. I am working on a computer right now that I am thinking of calling …

Kramer problems

Yeah, I know it has been a few days or more since I last updated but being busy or tired tends to take up my time right now. Yesterday I was off of work because the banks were closed. Gotta love those bank holidays. Kramer, which is my Win2k Server, decided to die. I had …

An Apple Mac with a life to live.

This past Sunday I got an Apple Macintosh G3 Tower from my father. He got it somewhere free and did not want it so I got to take it and ponder on the madness that is Apple Corp. While the processor is not that high on the Megahertz arena the operating system came up pretty …
