Well, it's like 8-9 months or so since I've actually written something. I guess I'm just not a diary type of guy or something. I got reminded about this when I was doing my status report for work today. It sounded like something I would type in advogato!

Well, life has been the same for me. Actually it's kind of depressing because we are doing another round of layoffs at work and possibly yet again more layoffs in June. This is really bad. I hope I can survive. I think though after this it would be very hard to cut more jobs without really affecting how we do our work. Oh well, we'd go from a big team to a much smaller team.

Other than that things are pretty swell. I haven't worked on my mp3 player box in awhile. I have most of the pieces working but I'm having trouble with the GUI. I lack the motivation to continue becuase I have to spend more money on getting something to output to the TV. I need a serious vga->ntsc or svideo to finish the whole thing. I also think I"d like to try converting it to a TiVo type device.

I think I'll finally be able to join Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI) as a part time masters student in CS. It feels good to be in school oddly enough. It's such a nice countepart to being in industry. There so many cool and interesting projects that are nice to talk about.

I think I'll quit while I ahead. I"m going to try to write more often.
