Well, its been quite a while since I posted on here, except a quick congrats to steve519 on the birth of his new daughter, and a quick mention of the friendcast, and i don’t have any real excuse, just going through the motions I guess. Perhaps it is time for a quick status update for those of you that care what I keep myself busy with.
First of all this blog isn’t my only neglected little internet home - I also have not been keeping up with the family blog either. I recently posted an entry over there and uploaded about 200 images that were waiting to be put on the site. Granted that blog isn’t filled with entries on a regular basis, only when we do something or have photos to put online - but I was a bit behind.
I have the day off of work today, I spent half of it at my son’s pre-school for a little end of the year party, and the other half is being spent with the kids and just relaxing (with a few interuptions with checking the computer, and writing this entry).
We are keeping up with our weekly schedule on the friendcast (episode #4 should be out monday). We have not recieved a ton of feedback, but what I have recieved has been fairly positive - so either we almost know what we are doing, or people just prefer to be nice. They say no news is good news, so I hope they are right A big thanks to Ymiris, and Antediluvia for sticking with me weekly, and to Tallboy for his recent visit to the show.
I have been keeping busy with 360voice, recently did some modifications to the way you can categorize and list your games, always keeping up wtih support (though this has slowed down because we got some extra help on the support queue), and just lurking around the forums as usual. There should be a new episode of the podcast on the way soon…ish!
Ymiris and I have been planning some changes for madden-stats.com, they are some pretty big changes on how you get your stats to be saved, and how you see them - its essentially gutting the whole system - fun stuff. Hopefully one day it actually becomes reality!
My wireless headset just randomly stopped working, plugging it in for a charge doesn’t do anything either. So I guess I can finally lay my ongoing complaint about my headset and the chat pad to rest. I also pre-ordered Wii Fit (mostly for the wife) and it never came. After calling to check on it, apparently it was lost, and they are out of stock so the best they could do was give me a refund. I wish I would have known that this past weekend, because they were all over the place in the stores in my area - but last night 4 of the 4 places I checked were bone dry. I am also waiting on a new hard drive for the laptop which is currently having a love affair with random blue screens of death and all signs point to the hard drive. Hopefully that doesn’t get lost like the Wii Fit.
I am headed to Boston for a weekend in a few weeks. Going to head over to GamerDNA to visit Trapper and Steve (aka the Voice boys) as well as meet more people in the company and see what its all about. Not sure if it will end up being another Code Weekend - though I am sure we will go over at least a few ideas for the site, some gaming, and most likely beer - so I am sure it will be a rocking time.
A few weeks after that I will be up enjoying the fine nation of the Canuck’s with the family for a little over a week. With gas prices these days, perhaps not the smartest plans, but it still is looking a lot cheaper than our original plans of going to Italy.
I guess that about does it, there are a few other things going on, but they are either nothing really worth blogging about in great length, or way to early to even consider how they are going to turn out - let alone tell everyone about….yet!
