Wow. Have I been a
Wow. Have I been a lazy non-poster or what? Friday was so damn busy I didn't have time to even think about the Net. Routing problems tending to mask other routing problems and when you uncover one and correct it, it uncovers the ones that where hidden by it's existence and a chain is born. Sometimes I wish that Joe and I were the only people in the company that configured network gear... we could avoid a lot of this rogue shit going on, but it's a big network and there are only two of us... and I like to have time not working, so that wish is simply impractical. Friday, after the chaos was sorted, Bob and Joe joined me for a couple of beers at The Flying Saucer. It was so busy and loud in there that we couldn't carry a conversation, so we migrated to the State Bar and Lounge for single malt conversation. EL and I had a nice dinner at home afterwards and went to bed early because we had a big Saturday planned. The premiere cast and crew screening of Xtracurricular. We made it Austin just before noon and met Sean and Tim at The Alamo Drafthouse on 5th. There were a lot more people there than I'd imagined would come. A large percentage of the cast and crew plus family and friends... it was packed. The movie was a tremendous effort for the two and I'm proud of how it turned out. For their first feature length film, it was really great... shot all in HD, original score, CG effects and other visuals... just great. There was a big cake cutting and celebration at The Bitter End afterwards, but EL and I couldn't stay long. We headed back to Houston. I have to work tonight, so I wanted to make sure I was rested. It really has been a busy last couple days. As we talked about all the wedding stuff left to do over dinner last night, I realized that it wasn't going to "settle down" soon... ugh! I woke early this morning... couldn't sleep... bad dreams. It's so quiet here in the mornings. Well, it's quiet here all the time, but especially the mornings. I've been sorting through bills and moving things about in my office... trying to be quiet so as to not wake EL in the next room. I finished UT2003 and started charging up camera batteries. I think I'm going to try to take some photos this morning sometime. It's been a while because of all the rain associated with Claudette. It will be fun. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
