Did someone say upgrade?

Filed under: General — Chris Parker @ 03:51

My laptop has a new lease on life with the purchase of an internal wireless card and docking station from eBay! Since my lappy is getting on a bit in age now (Born February 2003) both of these items were cheap (yay).

Since I have already made this a geek post, I suppose I should also say that I have upgraded wordpress on the server and gallery for a couple of peeps so if there are any problems you can yell at me…

I have now also joined Twitter which is a one line “what are you up to” thing. See how it goes I guess!

Time to go and look for some more furniture!

Ciao

Summer, is it here?

Ahhh, it is a glorious 25 degrees (Celcius :P ) outside, I think Summer is here. I have been back in Hershey for a bit over a week now. The project in New Jersey went well and the techs are still out there digging holes.

I played two rounds of golf on the weekend with my new Acuity Turbomax golf clubs. I did OK with 2 pars on my first round of 9 holes.

It was Miss Ellen’s birthday on Sunday. My little Sister is now 24. What’s even scarier is that Ally is going to be 30 this year!

That’s it, tata!

Over the last week and a half I have been working on a site in New Jersey as part of an ordnance cleanup program. I cannot comment on the goings on and what has or has not been found but I can point you to some links as that information is already public domain.
