Update: Whew, been a long time since I updated the site. I expect no one actually reads this but my wife went to it by mistake and then reminded me that I had not posted an update in a long time.

So, about 3 months since my last post. Busy busy. I have moved into a new home in the North suburbs of Atlanta. Up in Cumming. It is a really nice place, albeit, much more expensive than the old homestead. But the location couldn't be any nicer and we really like the community we are in. Making major changes to the home as well, getting a fence put up around the back yard and trying to get some other stuff finished off.

We also have a new addition to our household, Buddy is a 2 year old Beagle and is just the sweetest, cutest dog. He has a few weak spots that we are working on but most of them just amount to him being a Beagle. He is about the beaglest beagle I have ever run across. Headstrong, stubborn, and a bundle of energy. But, he loves to cuddle and my wife has really taken to him.

Well, it has been a busy few months since my last post. My new job is still going strong and I have been very occupied getting things done. The new gig is a lot more Unix Admin oriented, along with the normal routine supporting Application servers and applications. Different type of applications than I am used to supporting with a totally different emphasis, so getting up to speed has been quite a challenge.

Well, apparently some comment spammers found my site at some point and had started the process of automating comment spam into my articles. I have disabled comments, deleted all comments from the database directly and removed the user accounts that were created by the comment spammers (most were using email addresses in China) and generally cleaned up some of the areas of the site that enticed them to visit it.

Another quick update. I am still caught up with changes and new things. I have a new civilian job after 5 years. Nice to be back in the private sector after such a long time working in government. But, it is more of a challenge, faster-paced and requires a lot more work. So, I have been very busy trying to get things moving there so that hopefully, when I am done, I will be able to relax a bit more. The new version of Mandriva, 2008 is out and I have upgraded both of my home machines to the new version. This particular upgrade process went very smoothly so I have to give credit to the developers, they are producing better and higher quality releases with each new version.
