Well, my blog from yesterday WOULD have worked if I had put in the right password for my ftp account.

So I figure I’ll do some updating today. I just started listening to a CD that I got the other day “San Francisco Sessions, Vol. 3”, it’s a mix CD by Garth from SF and it is really good. It’s got that nice west coast SF house sound. I keep thinking I’d like to spin more of this stuff, but it would be quite a change for me. For now i’m just working on learning more about this style of house.

I’ve tried to shop online for records for the past three days and just have not been finding anything that I like. It is really frustrating me. I’m not sure if there’s just nothing good coming out or if I’m just in one of those down times where nothing I listen to sounds right. I think I may need to go into the record store and just listen to things there for a bit. A lot of times that’ll get me into a different mood musicwise.

I’ve started looking around more at other people’s blogs to see what they are up to. I think I may have to start trying to do some more things with mine. Whatcha think?

First off. I’m trying this little BlogThis! button that was on my menubar. I’m not quite sure when I put it there, but this will be a nice test of it.

So it’s the 4th of July. And I haven’t done much of anything all day. I cleaned for a bit, and am doing a little bit of laundry, but I just haven’t felt that social so I haven’t made a huge effort to track down something to do tonight.

I’ve also been coughing more then usual. I think it has to do with my prednisone dose going down. My pulmonologist feels that we shouldn’t raise the dose though, since I’ve actually been losing weight since I dropped my dose. He did give me some cough syrup with codine, which definitely helps a bit.

I’ve been watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus for the last two hours on BBC America. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. There are some great shows on it.

My employees rock.

Since the beginning of the year I’ve been moving more into the role of IT manager at work. I have about 5 people that report to me and am slowly learning how all this kind of stuff works. Today was a cool day for me because we had a problem with our firewall at work and Jim, the on call person, took care of everything with the help of our resident firewall expert (Lenny). It’s just a nice feeling that I can relax some while not on call.

I think that air conditioning must be one of the greatest things mankind has ever come up with.

Yesterday I drove down to CT to see my sister, who is at my parent’s place for a few days. The extra bonus is that she brought along my newphew. He’s just over two and so funny. He’s quite a handful. My parent’s place has one problem though. No air conditioning. They have one a/c, but it was in the closet. In CT yesterday it was in the 90s and very humid. I was a bit overtired and have been coughing a little bit more then usual lately, so the humidity was just killing me. I was extremely miserable. Finally, at the end of the day, my dad put the a/c in. I have barely left the room since then :). I finally got the really good sleep that I’d needed to for the past day or so. It is really amazing what 12 hours of sleep can do.

I just got a call from work. We lost all the connectivity from our offices to the outside world. Luckily this doesn’t affect our web sites, but it does affect the ability of our finance people to be working on their end of quarter reports.

It’s great to see my sister too. We haven’t had a chance to talk much, but I think she’s glad to get up to New England, even if it is to just visit for a few days.

(This blog is going to go up to my site later on because I currently can’t get to my machine at work through the net)
