Work

I'm doing a six month internship at Mine Safety Appliances (www.msanet.com). It's been interesting so far. Their system is built on Haht's Ecommerce system (www.haht.com). Part of this experience is living in Pittsburgh by myself which is pretty fun.

Play

I've been working on alot of projects but mostly in C# and PHP. I'll hopefully get some time soon to release a quick C# program I made that's pretty useful.

I'm also building another computer. I'm forking my current computer so I'll have my WinXP machine (Cerberus) and my new RH9 machine (Lamia) side by side which should make development a bit more speedy. Lamia will be an AMD XP 2.0ghz, I'll put the complete stats up on my website eventually.

Life

I'm engaged, I asked the lucky lady back in April. Wedding plans are moving along but it's still up in the air whether it will be late next summer or the year after.

I haven't been home a full weekend in almost two months! This weekend is my cousins wedding (I have 13 aunts and uncles on one side and 6 on the other so this is a common occurrence), the following weekend is a friend's wedding, the weekend after that is helping my fiance (I really like the sound of that) move in at college and the weekend after that is a Dr.'s appointment about my knee.

That reminds me, I failed to mention that I tore my ACL in January and had surgery on it in May. Physical therapy is going well, I can definitely see it working. I lost about 50% of my strength within the three weeks I was off my feet. I've got about another month before I get my brace and I can start sports again.
