Currently on my way back from another successful wedding I believe I have at least 1 or 2 more to go to this year. Weddings are good times. Everyone was happy the entire trip and the place I stayed at was a baller 3M dollar manshion
while I am waiting on some food I figured I would update the blog about the blog.
I had 2 pretty cool blog conversations with my lady friends SF and SL. Like me they are looking to update thier blog technology, pretty cool stuff.
in other news the new netbackup is out
with a boat load of new features. I will be spending a great deal of time on this product.
well here we are at the new year and this is my first post. I am currently at a school campus looking to finish the job.
in other news I had my first real fight with snow. the conclusion is that snow is new, fun, and cool to me but driving in it is LAME.
anyway about to discuss the school thing. bbl
so I am back in the hometown awaiting one of my favorite seafood soups from a hidden hometown seafood eatery.
I should consider myself lucky that I barely escaped bein trapped in kansas city. I missed being snowed in by a few hours. the weather Here is basically perfect give or take a little rain.
still have a bunch of people to see. defintely won’t make it to everyone but goin to do what I can. not having my own car does not help. I have to say being home is really nice since I have a ton of friends, know of things yo see/do and I don’t even get lost drivin to them. anyway soups here maybe write more later
So b wanted to see a movie tonight and I had nothing going on so why not. We decided to check out the AMC my pm said was pretty nice.
I thought it was going to be like movico at best. It turns out the “fork and screen” experience is quite different. It starts with paying 7.00 extra to your movie ticket but mon-Thurs regular tickets are 5 so that brings your total to 12. This includes a food/drink voucher. So basically dinner and a movie
Next you get to pick your seats! Wait a second, that is not just for airplanes anymore. After that we sat a server came to get our orders. They also have a new super concession stand where you can get Tabasco on your popcorn as well as 21 an other theaters like movico. See various pics below
I think I might actually blog a little more now that I can from do it from my phone. This weekend should be full of fun since i will be seeing a whole ton of friends. I fly for Sarasota tomorrow and should be back sunday.
Work has been a bit busier than normal lately. This is not really a bad thing as the job in my opinion is still going well. I do not really care if I mentioned this already bu I finally got a netbackup vcs cluster master server created. Not the easiest thing on the world to do withot anyhelp and of course the manuals are beyond terrible. Anyway here is a picture of outside today
So I got around to upgrading quite a bit of my stuff today and that also included my wordpress. This post is to test the new support for the iPhone wordpress app
Not really sure if I should have made 3 separate posts for this or not but I’ll try and not write to poorly.
*** Life in Kansas
So far all is going well. I recently discovered I don’t really live in Kansas or Missouri. In between the two there is a really nice area called Johnson County (joco for short). Basically it’s the super nice area of both states from what I understand. I was able to determine this over time talking to people. If you spoke to someone from Kansas they would talk about people from Missouri in a certain way and another way if you were talking about someone from Johnson Country and vice versa.
So far not doing to bad making friends in the area. Actually except for a few hiccups I am doing pretty well. The job is going really well almost to good to be honest. At this time I hope that the customer decides to renew the residency program. Do not get me wrong I do believe I am helping them quite a bit with their implementation of Netbackup.
**** Phones
So I finally got out of the stone age with my phone. I am currently sporting both an iphone 3gs and Blackberry bold. I have not had them both very long at the time of this writing but I thought I would share my quick thoughts on comparing the two. The blackberry is stronger in the area of call quality and battery life while the iphone is stronger in applications and it’s screen quality.
Regarding their keyboards they are both fine I can use them both with somewhat equal accuracy. A couple of quick things about the iphone. The interface and apps are really what makes thing more preferred in my opinion. What I find ironic about this is that Apple learned this all important valuable lesson from their friend Microsoft. Historically when Windows was released it did so well because of it’s visual interface, applications and ease of use. Ease of use this is a concept that I hope Microsoft recaptures in their upcoming Windows 7 and learned from the mistake of Vista.
I actually just today got an invite for Google voice. I haven’t used it that much but after reviewing it’s features it seems awesome. No integration with the iphone right now unless you jailbreak it. I’ll probably wait a little bit since both are somewhat beta right now. As cool as Google voice seems right now I really look forward to Google Wave.
*** Travel
I’m gonna be on a boat! pretty soon
Below is my travel plans for this year so far. There may be a trip to Jupiter at somepoint over Xgiving and/or Xmas. Lemme know if there is anything going on.
