It&#8217;s not that it&#8217;s been exquisitely busy&#8230; I think primarily the holidays took a bit of life out of me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m mostly mended from my pre-x-mas excitement. It&#8217;s been a slow process. This wasn&#8217;t completely due to the sickness, but to the array of meds they put me on. I think the worst of which was the steroid. These little bastards were innocuous little green pills. I really mean little. But the result was that mood, energy, appetite, were all somewhere in Fresno.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been working from home for most of the holiday season. I&#8217;m dealing with some bugs in my code that deal with a dual processor machine and happily I have one at home to do said repairs on. I&#8217;ve also been doing alot with getting some internal projects of my own organized.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a completely new website for the household\/business. SO, I may as well formally announce the beginnings of Apolo Productions Web presence. The site is: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apolo.net\">http:\/\/www.apolo.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The site is written almost entirely in PHP, SQL, and CSS. I felt that these were technologies that I needed to learn and add to my little box of tools. There&#8217;s not alot of content, so any suggestions are warmly welcomed. There are a few other sites that I&#8217;m now hosting as a result. I figure I have the server space, the connection, and the administrative abilities&#8230; might as well share the resources.<\/p>\n<p>Some other stuff i&#8217;ve been working on computer wise includes doing some family research (Which is now server on the site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apolo.cc\/family\">http:\/\/www.apolo.cc\/family<\/a>. As well as organizing as many files and as much data as possible. Yesterday, I also decided to once again try to install Win XP home into VPC 6.0. The amusement there is that I got a message yesterday saying that the setup would complete in 37 minutes. This morning, it is down to 19 minutes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been creating havoc in the house by adding a new wireless router modem. I&#8217;ve added a D-Link AirPlus Extreme G Wifi modem. Yes, even I can admit that the Apple Airport doesn&#8217;t offer me the configurability that I need. After several long hours I think I&#8217;ve been able to finally get my Airport express back online with the new network&#8230; but I don&#8217;t know if the Airport Extreme will return to the network or make a showing on Ebay.<\/p>\n<p>Unrelated to this has been the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/shimmeringjemmy\/469507.html\">excitement that has been the sale<\/a> of H&#8217;s house. Many people knew that we had something that was &#8216;in the works&#8217; but we really weren&#8217;t talking about it. I&#8217;d never dealt with a house purchase or sale before. My goodness the paperwork is obscene. We didn&#8217;t want to post anything until it was done as in realllly done in case something weird happened at the 11th hr. I have gotten to deal with more strange forms and people in the last month that I ever wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>So, one last thing on the horizon. I have to run into the bay area next week on Wednesday night. Partially I&#8217;m thinking of hitting one of the Casinos that evening. (Waves up to <a href=\"http:\/\/ts4z.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">ts4z<\/a> to invite him along). Ah yes, Poker. I&#8217;m still playing regularly. Computer Games, Online, with friends. I seem to be in a growth phase. This means that I&#8217;m absolutely sucking at the game. Bad play, bad beats. I understand the game fully, but online, I can not win to save my own life at all. I&#8217;m hoping it&#8217;s just a natural learning process. Otherwise, I may have to reconsider because I&#8217;m just not playing as well as I thought I should be.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230; that&#8217;s the overview for now. Good times.<\/p>\n<p>*waves*<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1358\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/12\/30\/oh-are-you-still-around-then\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1358\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/12\/30\/oh-are-you-still-around-then\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-1358\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/12\/30\/oh-are-you-still-around-then\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/12\/30\/oh-are-you-still-around-then\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I notice I haven&#8217;t posted in a while.
