Bye Bye DirecTV

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

So DirecTV has just gotten too expensive for us while we are reviewing our budget over all, so in response we are headed to strictly antenna. Monthly Bill = $0 which is a nice change for us. We are signing up for Netflix though, so we can get the streaming movies feature and have it [...]

AT&T crappy service

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Well once again I am without DSL. This would be the 3rd time I have had my DSL modem replaced by AT&T. This time though it is going to take them 4 work days in order to ship me a new one. Thankfully my work has given me a Sprint MiFi card and it works [...]

Contractors

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

This is ridiculous, contractors. So this post is a rant. I’m fed up with hearing about contractors taking over a business because they won the bid, then tanking the business. So I just heard from a good friend of mine that works a very very large computer company and he is praying and hoping he [...]

Apple Certifications & Serving study

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Well I’m into studying for my 3 of 4 tests to get my Apple Certified System Administrator certification. I get very very tired of studying. I think I can last about 30 minutes then take a 8 minute break. (It’s enough time to complete a little game of Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3, yes [...]

Yes 10 degrees away from freezing, too cold too early. Conner has started homeschooling and seems to enjoy it. We are trying homeschooling until our finances [...]

The Light

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

So I’m sitting here looking at my light on my desk trying to think of things to write about. I am currently waiting on a very large file to download so that I can start testing it. Also updating a few of the other test machines I have in my room. Chicago is really growing [...]

Exercise

Friday, July 10th, 2009

So in my last post I informed everyone of some complaints I already have with IL, but then I mentioned for a minute that we have excellent parks and trails. Well here is a story that pretty much confirms my statement that they have plenty of exercising places and what the difference being from the [...]

Tollways

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

So Katie and I are really figuring out a lot of differences between TN and IL. One of the major items that we can’t stand at this moment are the toll roads. It is so annoying to try and remember to keep a ton of change in your car! So we now both have an [...]

MOVED IN

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Yes we are moved in, for those of you all that don’t read my wife’s blog. But we are in and trying to enjoy it, but tonight was a tough night because we really wanted to clean out the garage but mosquitoes decided to join us. So we decided to not fight them any more. [...]
