Learning more and more…
Time has not been kind to me. I have to soon find time to get my Windows 2000 server going again and I plan to rebuild my Unix server that is running FreeBSD. I might wait until the 5.x series goes to stable if it has not already. It really depends on my mood of …

Birthday
I know of this annual thing called a birthday and imagine that mine seems to be today…or at least that is what my parents tell me… I could have a birthday on Feb. 29 and only age every 4 years…well, it would be nice if it worked that way but it does not seem to. …

Yes I know…
I know it has been a while since I updated this thing. Life has gotten in the way so very much since then. I will try to update this more often but that is something I cannot promise. Anyway, just so you all know, I still work at First Community Bank in Houston. I still …

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 …

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 …

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 …
