Whirlwind Update
These last couple weeks have kept me occupied. So, here's a list of changes.
1) I'm on a new team at work. Previously I worked on The Company's shopping cart application that let merchants get online and starting doing stuff like credit card processing and shipping. Now, I'm on The Company's PKI team handling secure certificate management. Without going into the details of what this means, it's a much sweeter position with a lot higher visibility. It also means much higher security and a lot more accountability. Ergo, I haven't had the strength for updating this thing quite so rigorously while I've been changing over.
2) House related changes are coming along well. I still love having my upstairs couch in my downstairs. One of these days I will order the remaining amount of cork I need to finish the flooring in my upstairs. Got the backyard finally cleaned out so I can do something with it; the current vote is still koi pond.
3) Phil and I went to Philadelphia several weeks ago. I've actually updated since then, but I totally glossed over it because I was being extraordinarily lazy in the following days. It was great to get the personalized tour and meet some of his friends, specifically, Michael, Jill, Amy, Dan, and Neil. If I forgot someone and they (you?) actually read this I'll happily edit you into the list.
4) Phil has shown me this crazy Natural Hormone Enhancement book/diet plan for optimizing various biological functions. Supposedly the book claims that nobody is really a "hard gainer" and that it's really a product of your biochemistry and whether or not your motivating it correctly. I'm going to give it a shot, but it essentially starts with seven days of Atkins-like eating. No more carbs for me for the next seven days. Then it becomes carbo-tastic.
