I am so behind on this journal…

Nick was down the weekend before last. He came to Tuskegee after the 5th. He was down just visiting before he leaves for the Army. He graduated in May.

Asia is doing well. She is bad as ever and she is getting big. I took her to the vet last Wednesday for vaccination and deworming. She is pretty healthy and a big ball of energy. I have to go back in about a week and a half to get her second set of shots. I am considering getting her vaccinated for kitty leukemia.

Sunday just got two new G4 machines in his office. He got them to do delivery of quicktime movies of professors teachings so students can go back and review the class over the web. On of the G4 has the SuperDrive and the other is has OS X Server. And OS X Server is pretty nice.

I watched Steve Jobs MacWorld NY Keynote address today. Apple basically did speed upgrades across the bored.  One of Apple’s guys did a pretty impressive demonstration on the “Megahertz Myth.” I always new that the PowerPC G series were more efficient processors compared to their Intel counterparts, but his presentation was very simple. I am glad Vinod was able to see the Keynote. He said he was very impressed. Hopefully we (we being the mac people in the office) will be able to fully win his heart over to Mac.

This past Sabbath, Richard and I visited the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Auburn. It was very refreshing to visit a new church and see new faces. We saw Dawn. I haven’t seen her since last August. She is finishing up at Auburn University in August. Anthony was there with his friend Lanissa.   She seems to be pretty cool. We may go back this coming Sabbath.

I was suppose to start my “summer vacation” this past Monday, but Dr. Webster wasn’t ready for us last week so I had to move my vacation up two days so we could get started on his lab in the Vet School. So Wednesday was going to be my start day, only I forgot to get a price quote request ready for the Dean of Engineering to upgade one of the IBM Netfinities to run some database application (I think), that needs to be installed Monday. Well I had no idea where I was suppose to get the price quote from and the boss left the office early Tuesday afternoon before I could ask him. I was finally able to reach him today to get some information on what I needed to do. Needless to say, I got the price quote. Then my boss tells me I need to be the one to install the hard drives (and configure them for RAID) and install the memory. The memory I could do no problem, but configuring a RAID setup was another story since I’ve never done it before. And besides that, I am suppose to be on vacation. Ah, the joys of working in IT.
