(This was actually my last entry on my original blog)
So two points. I just ordered a new laptop from HP. Having a dog has prevented me from ever spending any reasonable amount of time in my office, but with a laptop I’ll actually be able to work from the kitchen table. As soon as I get the laptop I am going to archive off my blog and use one of the lazy pre-made blogging programs. As much as I enjoy coding this blog, I just feel computer numb after spending 8-10 hours at Rockwell and would prefer something that was an opportunity to express my thoughts, and not something that I am forced to perpetually maintain. Plus I’ll get some cool new features like password protected entries. Admittedly I could spend a weekend coding up this feature, but the earned value is dismal considering there are free alternatives.
Ok point number two. I am going to start devoting more time to covering topics in computer security. This is something I have a lot of interest in, and becoming more knowledgeable about the topic could do nothing but help my job. Hopefully, despite my burnout feelings from work and life in general I’ll feel a modicum of motivation to do some side research. I would really like to in the future become known as an expert in this field.
So two questions.
You get to work from home? Sweet.
Topics in computer security? Lame.

Sadly work from home means do School work. I can work for Rockwell but its one of the unpaid variety :(. It will just be one of many topics including beer, sex, and drugs…

I feel like I have not seen you in forever. I hope all is well.
How exciting that you got a new lappy… are you still paying for your old one like Chris is?
