I thought I'd go head and get one last posting in here before the end of the year.

First....

Anyway, I know I've been slacking on this whole "blog" thing, but I can assure you that it will come to and end! (the slacking, not the blog). Here's a run down of what has kept me super busy over the past week or so:

• I have surrendered to The Big Bang Theory. Finally watched it, and now I'm a fan. I must agree: Smart is the new Sexy. I know I'm about 4 years too late, but better late than never, right?


• We went to Keat's parent's beach house for Xmas. It was fun. Traveled over 1000 miles. Yay. That's all I can say.


• We got a Wii for Xmas! Yay! Now we can watch Netflix on our TV


• Been working hard on planning some new seminars for Shadow Dev. One deals with the Mobile market and one deals with taking brick-and-mortar stores online


• Also been working on notes and storylines for our two new mangas: Phoenix Eye and All Souls Crescent


• Been working/studying/planning on a new version of MyShadowDev to help clients check/report things


• Rearranged my desk before I left. Looks nice:
  
  chisaineko.shadowdev.com - so far, looks good


• My laptop is on its deathbed. The fan is about to give out after so many years. It's wheezing so much it's hard to talk over it. I checked in on the warranty from Best Buy, and wouldn't you know it: it expired on 12/26! On Monday! I should have taken it in last week and had them fix it over Xmas break! So basically I have a delima: pay $90+ to have it shipped off, diagnosed, and (hopefully) fixed; pay $900 for a new laptop; or pay $200x2 to get some new desktops (Yes, Windows - some of my programs only run on Windows and I'm not paying $900 to get the Crossover software, and until they create a stable Wine, I can't use a lot of the programs I want to). Personally, I think I'd go for the desktop since it provides more power with less hassle, and more customizable than a laptop. My laptop has served me well these past 3 years, but I think I'm ready to move on once it croaks (luckilly, all of my files are on a cloud. Can't say 1 specific location, because I have many.

And now for something completely different:


Also, remember Fresh Prince? I found a photo of the cast from about a week ago:


Chances are I won't be able to post between now and midnight tomorrow, so HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE and have an enjoyable party/celebration/sit at home.
