Packing n stuff

Well I’ve been very busy trying to get ready for the move.  I’ve thrown out a ton of old papers and clothes and am hoping to have a garage sale this coming weekend. OY!  So much stuff to do in so little time.  I still have no idea where I’m going to be staying once I arrive in Prescott.  I’ll probably look into some apts. this week.  I’m just hoping my house will sell quickly so I can get into another house over there.  I’ve got way too much crap … Continue reading

Whirlwind Busy

I’ve been interviewing for a new job during the past week (phone interview, then in-person interview in another state) so I haven’t been keeping things very up-to-date.  And today I got an offer!  Woohoo! So looks like I will be moving. I report to the new job/city/state in 4-weeks, so I’m going to be ultra busy packing, moving, unpacking, getting used to a new town etc. etc.  So I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to update the blog, but hopefully things will get back to some semblance of … Continue reading

FlightSimX and Tileproxy

Ok, I saw a video the other day of someone using Flight Simulator X and an add-on called Tileproxy that simply blew me away.  So much so I went out and bought FSX and downloaded Tileproxy just to see it for myself.  And I wasn’t disappointed – Simply Awesome!  I’m not much for flight sims, but WOW! Tileproxy makes it so incredibly cool, I practically wet myself!  LOL!  After using it, I made another purchase of FRAPS, although my machine seems to be choking with all of that running at … Continue reading

Looping around…

Just got back from Utah for a joint birthday party at my folks’ house for my sister and me.  It was her 50th and my 42nd – woohoo!  It was a blast seeing everybody, even though it seems like just the other day we were all celebrating Christmas together!   I took the “scenic” drive between Albuquerque and their house, which is an hour longer than the “fast” way, but far – FAR more scenic. The scenic part really doesn’t kick in until you get out of NM, though, so there’s … Continue reading

When your ‘net goes out…

Play Hellgate! LOL!  My DSL service was interrupted the other day for a considerable amount of time while Qwest was out working on their various boxes around the corner from my neighborhood (there’s like 4 green metal “boxes” nearly the size of Volkswagen’s over there).  Anyways, during the “down-time” I rediscovered the single-player mode of Hellgate, which I must say I very much enjoyed. It was great to jump in and start blowing things up or cutting them to shreds.  Still, it reminded me of a couple game mechanics that … Continue reading
