Heh, I started writing this post on Monday. It's now Tuesday Thursday. Wonder when I will actually get it put up?

Anyway, I went diving on Sunday....it was the first time I have managed to dive since I fell in November. I celebrated in grand fashion, by buying a wetsuit of my very own. Hooray!

I can't wait til I have the spare cash for an underwater housing for my new camera. Well, its not new anymore, but still, I want the damn housing. Hehe. They are pretty pricey, so I don't think it will be soon. I bid on one on Ebay, but I bid really low so I don't expect to actually get it, which is fine cuz my paycheck was screwed up this week *glares at boss* (Kidding Mister Boss, you know I love ya). I will know on Saturday, so we shall see.

Dell XPS M1210 Review (pics, specs)

I finally broke down and ordered a new laptop last week. Ms Dell the First has been a good laptop, and I love how small and portable she is. However, when I bought it, I made a very very n00b computer buyer mistake: I went cheap. I bought for current needs without taking into consideration how my needs might change over time. Job responsibilities have changed, I started playing Lineage II, I have started taking more pictures than I used to, and I just do more that requires power than just IRC and a web browser. Somehow a single 2G processor and 512 of ram shared with the video card just wasn't cutting it anymore. I was working training a n00b last week and realised that doing just my normal work I was running consistently at full processor and ram usage, and just decided that it was time to upgrade.

Ms. Dell the First will be retired with honour. She has been there with me for literally just about everything for the last two years, including my wedding.

Writing a column for an emag on sex and parenting. I am so proud. :)

I talked about this in an earlier entry, the woman whose husband died in Afghanistan and the VA wouldn't allow a pentagram on his memorial. Turns out the Nevada Attourney General decided that the VA had no right to decide what goes on a State Memorial and said it was ok. Doesn't have any effect on National Cemeteries, but its a step in the right direction.

It's been a while since I have had a chance to update this thing. Life has been uberbusy for me lately. It's Harry Potter day today, so I will be updating w/ all sorts of new stuff soon. W00t!
