Well, I’m back from my little “un-plug”. It was nice and just what I think I needed. Every once and a while I find myself getting frustrated with my computer habits. I find myself sitting at my terminal every night for hours on end but not really accomplishing anything. That’s really frustrating when there’s so much I want/need to do but end up wasting hour after hour doing nothing. But, I’m back and totally refreshed.

I posted some pics of what went on while I was un-plugged on my moblog, so feel free to check them out. Also, I started a slight “tweaking” of the site. After the new site went live, the way I had hoped it would work and flow did not jive with what was online. So, I’m about 80% done with the “tweak” and it should be online soon. The inital interface is all done, but I just need to make the pages up of some of the extra content I want to add. No biggie, but I’m not rushing it this time. I’m only working on it when I am inspired to, since that’s when it seems my productivity is the highest lately.

I’ve decided to take some time off from being on the computer all the time to focus on some other things going on. What does this mean? This means that I’ll barely be on the computer, let alone online, for the next couple of days. So, if you really need to get a hold of me give my cell phone a call. Even though I love my computer to death, sometimes I spend way too much time on it and not enough time doing things that I should be doing. I did this last year and the results were quite positive. So, we’re going for “The Great Un-Plug of 2004″.

Talk to you later…

Well, it seems that Mother Nature had a different idea about our Raven Shield gaming night…in the form of sever thunderstrorms. The power went out once, and then when we to bring everything back up, the lights flickered again. Well, we took that as a sign to take a break and just chill in front of the TV. So, that’s where we’re at right now until the storms pass.

In case you’re wondering what I’m posting on since the machines are shut down, I’m on JP’s laptop on his wireless LAN. No wires, no surges.

Right now I’ve over at JP’s crib getting ready to partake in a nice night of gaming since we’re both off tomorrow. First on our list to consume is one of our favorites, Raven Shield. After that, it’s time to fire up some UT2K4. And after all of that carnage, well, the sun will probably be up and it’ll be time for some shut-eye.

Time to go grab my sniper rifle, and save the country from terrorism.

Well, I decided to bring most of the new site online today. Although most of it is working fine, I’m still having a few issues on the backend with me being able to post from my cell phone and my Pocket PC. But, I’m sure that’ll work out in the end. For now, enjoy the new look!

Well, we got back from D.C. about 1:30am this morning. Man, did we have a totally awesome time. It’s been about 3 or 4 years since I have been down there and I forgot how much I love that city. It’s not even the museums that I love, but just everything around it. For example, we were walking around the city for at least a good half hour just looking for a place to eat dinner. To me, that was one of the best parts of the trip. For some reason, I have the feeling this won’t be my last trip down there this summer.

I’ll write more about our trip later. Right now I’m still getting all the pics I took of of my camera and have to start some laundry. I’m going to start updating the moblog with some camera phone pics though, so check them out in the meantime!

Well, JP and have put together a very, very last minute road trip. We’re headed to our nation’s capitol, Washington D.C. In fact, this is so last minute we’re leaving in about 3 hours. Nooch!!
