If you are reading this then you are looking at an old, non-updated page that I don't visit anymore.
I will eventually work the link out of my main site but I am sure there will always be search engine links to this history. So in an act of good faith I will leave Coigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-41942052065442384632007-11-14T10:27:00.000-07:002007-11-14T15:15:55.532-07:00My sore throat is getting worse. Now I am coughing quite a bit. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon 'cause this sucks.
At work today the AC quit working. That means that my server room is running at a toasty 85 degrees ambient temperature and the rest of the building is warm. I am not even wearing my jean shirt I always wear because I am hot. In addition to that, I think the sore Coigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-18056294931303731892007-11-13T07:59:00.000-07:002007-11-13T08:13:14.046-07:00I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. It is because Mondays hate me. Before I even sit down I see a voice message and three "emergency" e-mails. And I am coming in late because I was working until 2 AM the night before on Sunday.
And thanks? No, it is my fault no one's machine doesn't work. I just better work faster and harder.

Broke even in the first tourney round, lost $40 bucks in the cash round. Found out that the beer '2 Below' has a lot more alcohol content then I am used to because it made waking up this morning hurt ... a lot.
Also I have cut over to the new beta site front page.

Didn't kill off anyone's characters this week. Inomiate joined us last night but I am not sure how in to the game he was. We will see if he shows up next time in two weeks.
I posted up some pictures for another forum I visit for Image of the Day at http://cellar.org/iotd.php.

He is putting out feelers to see if he might move back here. He is the guy I lived with when I first moved here ages ago back when I started this blog.

The problem is, I don't really have a lot to say. My life doesn't change all that much. But I would like to try and dedicate more time to posting here even if I may not have much to say beyond, not much to say today.
But today, the big news. I got the call last night from my sister that my favorite aunt (I have like 13 of them.

For the last 4 weeks I have put in 50+ hours. I am working 6 days a week right now. And not getting paid anymore for it as I am salary.
Planning a trip to Denver with a friend this Saturday to go meet one of the authors who wrote the D&D game. That will be pretty cool.

With my camera out for repair and not a whole lot going on with my life I have not had much to post about. Basically I am in coast mode.
It did snow since I last posted. A lot. And it got cold.
Thankfully I got my rack on my car before I had to deal with doing that outside in the snow and cold.

This is the blog you write after you may have had one too many and you get a little maudlin.
My Season Three Girlfriend.
I have had a few girlfriends in the four years I have lived here. I have had two that we actually acknowledged we were "boyfriend and girlfriend" since moving here. That is not a lot.

And yeah JeepGirl has asked me and Brass to join her to going back to Loaded Joes trivia nights. She has some cute girlfriends so until something better comes up I go.

Been busy, really busy, at work this last week-and-a-half so have not had much time to do anything. But the comic has been in hiatus long enough so it is time to start putting out new ones again.
Beyond that, not a whole lot to say. Read the front page for my goodbye to Watcher and Celtic. I really have nothing more to add to that goodbye.

Work is kicking my ass in stuff to do. Trying to figure out how to get WebDAV working is melting my brain.
I have two new D&D players starting tonight. This should be interesting.
It snowed in Breckenridge, a mountain ski resort town about 45 miles from me. Winter is coming and it is getting cooler.

We drove about 40 miles one way to Leadville from Avon and then back again. It was a total blast and tons of fun except for all the rain we had to ride through. But beyond that totally worth it. I took a few pictures and I will try and get those posted soon.

We just don't seem to require compliments to keep us going like girls do. I have been doing some after hours work lately on a project at work. In a nutshell, I have been coming in on Sunday at 9 PM and working until Midnight or later for the last two weeks and will do so for about three more weeks. Last week I was here until 2:30 AM and I had to send out a notice toCoigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-29975756566179710632007-09-12T15:31:00.001-06:002007-09-12T15:31:26.260-06:00I got my new camera yesterday. It has got 16 gajillion buttons on it. I still haven't had any time to sit down and play with it yet though because I have been busy at work and was out with a Brass last night. Also on the comic subject, I have not had any time to look at Drupal and the way this week is looking I will not be able to because I am too busy.
As for non-comic stuff, I went out withCoigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-63201324289978111642007-09-09T22:21:00.001-06:002007-09-09T22:35:19.342-06:00A few quick updates since most people who read this know me fairly well.
First off, yes I have broken up with my girlfriend. It was a good break up and we are still friends. We just didn't feel that romantic spark anymore but remain on good terms and have hung out together since then so save your, "Oh I am sorry to hear that." for people who need it.
Second on the camera. I have had two Coigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-1276934311204821842007-08-30T13:50:00.000-06:002007-08-30T13:56:51.685-06:00So as a number of you know, I bought a new motorcycle last weekend. It is an old 1994 CBR 600 F2. A beater bike that I can lay down (and on one occasion already have) and not worry about scratching the bike. The last time I rode dirt bike was about 11-12 years ago in 11th grade. Umm actually I am older than I remember. That would be 13-14 years ago.
Anyway, I digress.

I fixed my archives for the time being so the last missing four months are linked correctly but the whole site needs an overhaul. I want to get my Write-Up linked to the comic and that means changing my graphics along with the archival code, and then possibly needing to change every write-up to get them all linked Coigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-78385611117701588332007-08-16T15:49:00.000-06:002007-08-16T15:50:53.403-06:00I want to type something here but I really don't know what I want to talk about today. I am busy at work but I keep avoiding doing different projects because I know they are going to be difficult to complete. So instead I bounce every 10 minutes from one project to another. The only good point of that is I can see myself making progress on all of them, although slowly.

OK fine then.
I am dating a new girl and have been for about two months or so.
I got a fairly nice raise on Friday. I am getting close to being able to afford my place without a roommate. Actually as I type this I should arrange to re-finance my house. If I refinance it for less then 80% of its value, currently my loan is for 70% of the current Coigntag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879290.post-88458606890704076302007-06-29T14:38:00.000-06:002007-06-29T14:39:29.523-06:00How do you break up with a vendor? I choose this method.
I like the options you presented and the freedom of choices you allowed us to make. The quote you dropped off with me on 06/25/07 for the $54,786.18 was very attractive and was my lead quote until Compellent dropped their price by $24,000.
But talking to EMC and what they were talking about setting up for us they told me with the Coign
