Well i went on a bike ride today at Jubilee College State Park, and when i got done i was everything but happy. XX( Man sitting on your can all winter can take it's toll on you. I will have to get a friend to come let the dog out now during the week, so i can go do some riding to get back into riding condition. Well it happens. That's my new saying. I don't know where i got it from, but i keep saying it to people. Weird. Well anyway. This whole online dating thing just does not work. I think people see me and think what in the world. Maybe i need to put up some different pics of myself. I will try to get a friend to take a few of me this weekend. Well anyway. I also did some work in the front yard 2day. I have allot more to do, but at least i got a good start. Well that is all for now. I will go do some more house work.

Well the daily grind is taking it's toll. I am looking forward to the weekend. I just found out that i can get the handgun that i want. This is goin be cool. I went shooting again last weekend and decided that i wanted to get my own gun.

Scuba classes have started again so i am in the pool more now on sunday. I have fun doing that and so would you. So head over to Aqua Diving School and sign up for a class. Tell them Ed sent ya. I need to have some work done on my scuba gear. Nothing major, just a little repair.

I have to work on the underGround website. This is the College group at the church that i attend. I will post a link to it when i have more of it done.

Some other people have asked me about websites that i need to work on. I will get something done this weekend. Since i am doing backups this weekend, I can get allot of work done and some books read.

Well i am going 2 go get something 2 eat. I need to get some things done.

Oh ya gnucash rules. I am now running my business finances with it. Allot better than having to go to a windows machine and run quickbooks.

Well i have finally had it with RedHat. I have used there system for a very long time, but now this relationship is over. I have a client that is upgrading there server, so i went and ordered a new version of RedHat Linux for them. The price was way more than what i believe should be for the system, and in my opinion they have not added any more value 2 the system. Also what are they thinking. Ya Linux is great, and all the software that comes with it is great as well. But I cannot install Linux on my workstation and go buy Avid DV Pro, or Autodesk's AutoCAD. Macromedia apps are also missing. Ya i can run some with Wine, but that just doesn't cut it. I want native apps. It's not Linux's fault here, but RedHat making a decision to charge $179 just for a workstation version is just nuts. And it does not leave an easy entry point for new users to try the system. What i mean is, I have a new project that the company has given me. I believe that Linux is the best solution. So i go and download a copy and build a demo with it. Now RedHat wants to charge me $179 just for a workstation verstion of there system, well this is a server so i want the server version. Well allot more money is needed. So now just to do a demo using RedHat i need to fork out a load of cash. Since the managment is not all comfy with Linux they do not want to invest in something they feel will not work. That is why i am moving 2 Debian. RedHat you don't have the app base to justify that cost! Well i will keep a list of how far i get with Debian. I also will be working on changing all my documentation over to that system. Something new 2 learn, and looks allot better than Fedora. Oh well. I hope someone hits RedHat with a clue stick before they destroy themselves. Well i will post more about this l8er

Well i have not posted in a long time. I don't know why, just been busy. Well I played the bass for the Jr. High group band last night. I could say that i did suck. I need 2 practice more. I think it will get better over time. I still enjoy playing the sax, it is allot of fun. I am at work right now. I have been working on some projects but nothing really exciting. Abby is still doing good. I need 2 take her 2 the vet and have her ears checked again... I don't know what is goin on with her. The snow is mealting and i am getting ready to get back on my bike and do some riding. Well my co-worker is here at my desk and wants to get some coding done. So i have 2 go now.
