Please stand by

I have turned comments off again, while the website goes through power changes. The last of the new hardware finally arrived today and I have put all the parts together. Its a tiny little box about the size of one of my shoe boxes. An order of magnitude more diskspace, lots more cpu power and a bit more ram. Over the rest of the week I will install all the new software going on it. What’s going on it you may ask? well heres the list:
FC4
Gallery2
WordPress. Yep we are ditching movabletype and getting Wordpress.

So wish me luck..

Still looking for all this free time I am supposed to have now that I am not working. ;-)

Where do we go from here?

Yea so I am borrowing the line from Buffy. But that silly song has been going through my head since Friday, which was my last day of work. Yep I finally left the job that was driving me crazy. I am now a house husband, or as I like to say “domestic lord”. Melissa is thrilled that I am finally taking a break form working to decompress and as she puts it “to learn to have fun” To be honest am a little nervous…

Another Holiday Season in the books

Well Melissa is off at a confrence leaving me alone to my own devices for a week. So I took down the holiday decorations. Then I cleaned and broke down our departed pig-pig’s cage. I am still a little bummed about that.

The holidays were pretty good, got lots of sharp pointy things from wife unit, guess that means she really trusts me(for the record it was 2 cooking knives and a new multi-tool) Showed mother-in-law unit around Vegas, I think we overwhelmed her.

Also go a new mandoline for slicing, chopping and making waffle cut stuff.(already made some sweet potato chips yum) And a rocking new Waffle iron and a cook book, all which is definately getting me ready for my next thing.

Well its now under the 2 week point before I take on Domestic Lord status. I am already starting to think on how I am going to organize my time, spilt up chores etc… As well I am making a list of stuff I want to do like finish lifting the jeep, put a telephone line in my room, and completely upgrade and rebuild this entire website.

My current plan is to spend each day doing one house chore and a some time with routine stuff. I figure I could spend like 2 hours aday on the house and it would be in great shape and not require much cleaning on the weekend.
