Busy Bee
Things have been so busy that I have pretty much ignored the fact that I will be off to New Zealand in two weeks. Honestly, I have been telling people that I am going in two weeks, but really have not thought about it much. I guess I have settled into a pretty comfortable life after coming back from Chicago and frankly, I haven’t traveled much (well, I mean something more than just a weekend or my normal Christmas break) so I guess I just have not gotten into it quite yet.
Anyways, I have been kept busy with the bSpace project at work…among other tasks and projects. We have finally launched on production, though a bit trimmed due to some large and small errors that we have been unable to correct…or in some case, indentify. Seriously, adapting code to suit your needs is not an easy task and I am fortunate that I do not have to do this. Of course, running a set of hardware for an application without knowing that someone else has done so successfully is not exactly a walk in the park either…and this is something that I am dealing with.
Outside of work, I have been watching my fantasy baseball teams live at polar opposites of the spectrum - one team is so far ahead that I cannot see how I can lose and the other is so far behind that I do not see how it is even possible to make the playoffs. Of course, there is also the fantasy football draft…which is always fun and is taking its time as we are doing a forum draft (yes, I am hosting the forums…and hopefully they don’t go down when I am in New Zealand!). And while I have not worried much about New Zealand, I have been helping Shareena out in running some errands - buy books, get some winter clothes, get gifts! Of course, there will be more of this next week.
All in all, I hope to write in my blog more often this month…notes on preparing and vacationing in New Zealand seems like something that might be interesting. Of course, we’ll see if I even get internet access in New Zealand…and if I do, no one at work shall know!
