Yup it has been confirmed. Next Wednesday I’ll be going to Portland for two days. I told people down there today and they are excited to meet me.

So the goal this weekend is to get my alternator fixed. I probably have to bum money off of Cam because I get paid on Monday and not Friday like I thought (ARGH!!!). I’ve gotten money from her in the past and I always paid her promptly back. So she knows she can rely on me.

Then I’ll be happy off driving next week down to PDX!! I’m a little nervous. Never been in Portland before really but I heard it was a cool city. I guess we shall find out. I’ll try not to speed down there because the freeway is so easy to speed on (mmmmmm SPEEEEEEDING URGES!!)

Good times I suppose… Gooooood times.

Today Cammy Cam accidentally lost my mom’s money while grocery shopping. Poor Cammy was really sad. My mom wasn’t that angry though. See if I would have done something like that my mom would STILL be yelling at me about it. Seriously…. ah the silence.

Which reminds me…. I have been slacking off on my email lately. See work email I reply almost instantously and if not I got people calling me at the good ol’ 212 (my extension) saying “Yvo do this” or “Yvo why is my printer not blah blah blah” Hopefully when I go down to Portland Sean will give me some FACTS (our system) passwords. Sean and I were talking about makes someone a good computer nerd. We came to the conclusion that a nerd can only be as good as his environment. For example… someone might install say a PCI card and install the drivers and be considered a genius. Where as others have to configure multiple servers with UNIQUE software (not like Linux or Windows or the generic db stuff like MySQL or MSSQL where the commands are WIDELY available) but rather something that not a lot of companies use like FACTS. It really depends on one’s definition. I know there are smarter people out there but in my immediate knowledge of people (I don’t know about Sean yet) I don’t know anyone that knows more then me, quite opposite… I am always answering questions for them.

Welp… that is it for now. I am going to find something useful to do.

Signing off,

Yvo
