Taking a break

I've decided to take a break from WordPress for awhile.  Not sure how long — but I havn't been able to keep up with it (as you can see).

 I promise to make a post as soon as I get FiOS installed.


Today on the job

Today at work I spent about 6 hours getting paid to read up and learn about the Solaris 9 operating system and Sun servers.

I put together some nifty info cheat sheets to help me navigate through Solaris — hopefully I won't need them for long though.

Last week my boss helped me set up my own Sun Enterprise 250 server in the downstairs test-bed so I could practice all my stuff on it.  I've got Reflection X shell installed on my PC so I can work from my cube upstairs.  The E250 isn't the newest or greatest, but at least i've got the whole machine to myself to practice on :D

Anyway, this ain't the most exciting stuff, but hey — can't beat getting paid to learn :)  


New job!

Haha, lots of new stuff in my life lately!  Just got a new PC and now a new job!

Started as an intern at ARINC in Annapolis, MD.  (I talked about my interview about a month ago).

So basically i'm working in Technology Support & Services, and i'll be putting together Sun servers, installing/maintaining Solaris, and other misc. activities.

I don't know alot about the Sun platform yet, so it will be a learning experience.

Pretty cool though…i'm an 18 year old college student, and i've got my own cube, PC, and phone number.  I feel special :P

I'll be part time till summer, then full time :)   Pretty good money too :)

Anyway, i'm off to Virginia beach for the weekend! Cya next week :)  


New PC :D

Well I finally broke down a few weeks ago and built a new PC.  My old one had been randomly shutting down and had tons of errors when booting.  I don't blame it as it had been running steady for probably 5 years straight.

 Anyway, this new beauty goes like this:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+

1GB DDR400 Corsair RAM

HSI Radeon X1600PRO PCI-E Graphics Card

Western Digital 250GB HDD

NEC DVD-RW

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Mobo

Fortron 450W Pwr Sup.

Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case

 Been playing HL2 recently. Runs smooth as anything!  Lovin' it.


Note to self…

Now i’m going to go study for my A+ Certification exam.

I’ve made use of the “Next Blog” button in the top right on my screen (while signed in), and discovered that most of the blogs on WordPress.com are not in english! Although i’m not an expert at identifying languages at a glance, most of them look to be European (German, etc.) with a few blogs in Spanish.

What’s cool is I can actully understand the spanish blogs…I feel pretty special :D

But yeah, check it out for yourself! Over 50% of these blogs are in a different language than english!

Okay this is very sad, but I feel I must give in to my impulse and post about my current addiction.

Are you ready?! Here it is!

Trader Joe's Orange Peach Mango!

It’s Trader Joe’s Orange Peach Mango! “Go ahead and taste the goodness!”

Seriously though, I consume about one 1/2 gallon container per day. It’s that good! If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s grocery store near your house, I pity you. Ahhhh, it’s so good.
