Sorry about the posting drought folks. Been quite occupied lately and not in the mood to post for the most part. liz4jc4ever has spent the past week at my house since she’s out of the dorms (or “residence halls” if we want to be PC) but can’t move into her apartment yet. I haven’t accomplished much this week at home. Work has been crazy as usual and I took today off just to get a break from things. I was frustrated with this past weekend because I was so occupied with stuff (travel for the most part) that I didn’t get anything accomplished at home.
Tonight I went to the Yanni concert at Xcel Energy Center with my dad. It was fun. While I can’t say that I am a *big* fan of Yanni, I do enjoy a good amount of his music. I really enjoyed the concert. I don’t think I’ve seen a group of performers who were so consistently into what they were doing as Yanni and his orchestra. Of course performers in other bands will appear that way when the camera is focused on them, but for the most part it wasn’t needed for Yanni. It definitely made the show more enjoyable.
I am experimenting with a Sony DVD +/- R/W drive from work in my computer. It’s made for a PC but I’m trying it in my Mac because I have been thinking about getting one (drive that is, not a PC). I burned a DVD+RW this afternoon, and the burner reads the disk but the DVD-ROM drive in my laptop does not. This is okay with me because I wasn’t planning on using DVD+RW disks anyway. I am going to go to Woodbury tomorrow to pick up some blank Apple DVD-Rs and some Verbatim or Maxell DVD+Rs.
I need to start thinking again about how to deal with rebuilding my server. The web stuff and file server stuff isn’t a big deal, but I really need to keep email service available since I host my domain’s email myself.
