It’s here…..the end of 2007, got any special plans?  Personally I don’t have anything going on, probably just some gaming - depending on if Xbox Live is working or not will decide if its online or offline gaming - and if its xbox 360 or the Wii. :-) 
I am doing a 2 week update because I skipped over last week, the quick version is I was sick, kids were sick, then I was sick again, crazy server problems at work - and lately xbox live issues, December is busy enough but these things caused even more waves!

The Gamer

• Been playing my second run of mass effect, this time trying  a soilder, and doing ALOT more side quests.  Getting pretty close to the end of the game again - but tons of achievements yet to gain!
•  Started yet another gamerscore challenge - this one is for 100 smackers at best buy, like usual I dont have much faith in winning, but competing is fun - and you never know - 30 days gives alot of time for gamerscore growth.
•  Finished the new cars game 100% - rented it for my previous challenge
• There probably is more, but 2 weeks is just too much to try and recap - especially with everything going on right now

The Coder

• We finally seemed to have figured out whats wrong over at 360friendspot.  Not actually how to fix it but what seemed to be the root cause - for some reason processing PHP on that server was completely useless and was slowing everything down.  ZaaM moved the forums over to another one of his servers, and everything is running beautifully again.  Speaking of ZaaM, stop by 360friendspot and see his new styling of the site, its damn sexy if I do say so myself.  I however didn’t do anything, make sure to thank ZaaM.
• Still working with Daking240 some on his contest, and some of the coding for it.  Actually its almost completely functional at this point just have to clean some stuff up and finalize some of the ‘bells and whistles’.
• With all the gamerscore challenges I have been running (and loosing) lately.  I started thinking it would be nice to size up your competition - so I threw together a little tool again called challenge scout 

The Person

• I turned 30
• Everyone in the family was sick off and on for the holidays
• Work was still crazy, still weird server problems - finally put that to bed I hope
