Another month has gone by and once again lots has happened. Mostly the same ole mundane stuff though. I've been getting back into the swing of things at school, which as always with me takes some time. I only have 9 credits this semester but that's 9 credits too many :) I have leadership, classic civilization, and poly sci classes. Nothing too difficult, just time consuming reading (Iliad, Odyssey, etc, etc).
Everything is cruising along at work. I continue to enjoy working on SLED and everything else open-source. I'm excited to finish school so I can work on this fun stuff full time.

A VERY Long Time
Well, once again it has been way too long since I last wrote. It's impossible for me to sum up everything that has happened all summer, but I'll do my best to remember at least a few of the major things.
I bought a house! This happened in the end of June. It's just a little 1500 square foot house that will serve well as a bach-pad. We've already had numerous bbqs and every Sunday kids come over for chatting and otter pops.
I went to my first Mason Jennings concert a while back as well. I haven't posted pics yet, but I will. It was a great time and had lots of good music from his new album Boneclouds.
I saw G. Love for the third time. That was a blast as always.
More recently, I saw Ben Harper for the first time as well. Ben has many different musical styles and I don't think I caught him on the night that he was singing in my favorite easy-going style of his. The concert was still a lot of fun.
On the work front, things continue to go well at Novell. We shipped SLED 10 back in July and feedback has been great. Since then, we have created a newly formed qa team for SLED. I have moved buildings once again and have returned back to building H on the Novell campus. We're on the 7th floor and this time I was blessed to get an office.
School has started once again and I'm really on the last stretch this time. I have 9 credits this semester and the load will likely be the same next semester. That'll be it, then I'm done and graduated.
Life is great and well.

Seely's Farewell
Well as the title states one of my best friends Ryan Seely is taking off bright and early in the morning to head back to Canada. He and I have done a lot together the past few years and I am not alone when I say I'm gonna miss the kid. I wish him the best.
In other news school is about ready to finish. Only 3 more tests and I'm done for the year...Marketing, Supply Chain Management, and Finance. I can't express how happy I will be to have them over and done with.
To be completely honest the past month has gone by so fast that I don't really remember a whole lot. I did go scuba diving the other day for the first time which was pretty cool. I've gotten involved with a number of open-source projects recently as including iFolder and Diva . iFolder is a backup/sharing solution which is wonderful and diva is a video editing application for the gnome desktop. I was also asked to be a gentoo dev which I think will be really exciting and fun experience as well.
Keep on keepin' on!

GNOME 2.14 and other stuff
Yet again it has been another very long time since I last wrote. This time it has been almost 2 months which is way too long, I'll do better! As the title says the GNOME project has released a fresh new version. I'm running it right now and as always I'm impressed. There have been great speed improvements. Last week was Novell's Brainshare conference in Salt Lake City and I went up there a couple days and enjoyed that as always. School is slowly but surely moving along...I can more than see the light at the end of the tunnel now which means I slack too much because this is pretty much my last semester...ever. :)
In other news, I'm getting ready to start learning a new web framework for php called symfony which looks promising. I'm just getting started on that so I'll try and keep my findings/experiences posted here.
I've kinda started getting into swimming the past month or so as well. I've been going to the rec center about 2-4 times a week which has been good to get exercise. It's still been cold outside which leaves little motivation for jogging.
One last little tidbit, Ben Harper released a new album entitled "Both Sides of The Gun" which I picked up on Saturday and I think it's great. Hopefully I can see him in concert this summer sometime. Well, as always, got schoolwork to do, later.

Birthday
Another while has passed and lots has happened. As the post title says, I had my birthday on the 16th and that was great. The pic show Fajen, Phil, myself, and Ryan. We went and had some dinner at fuddruckers and that was great.
In other news, school has started up again and this semester will be a lot of busy work. That's ok though, this is the last mile for me so I'm gonna push along as well as possible.
I also started working at Novell again. Things just didn't work out at Network General so I headed back. Kinda an interesting series of events but that's not important right now. What is important is that now I'm working on desktop linux which is awesome, that where my passion is so that's great. I'm also working with some great people and look forward to getting some good work done.
For a birthday present to myself I went to a G. Love concert and that was the best concert I've ever been to. I honestly couldn't have asked for more. That was on the 21st of January so it's been a week now, but I still have his tunes going through my head. You check out my flickr site if you want to see photos from the concert.
I'll try and keep this updated a bit more in the future. Famous last words though.

Washington D.C. Temple
Well it's been a while since I posted again and as usual a lot has happened. Since I last posted I have made it back home to Utah and started classes up again. I had a great time in D.C. and met colorful people in the airports and on the planes on the way back.
I'm not too awfully excited about school starting up classes again but this will be the last time pretty much. I have finance, marketing, organizational behavior, supply chain management, and something else. Today was the first day I had class with Brother Mills and he did a great job. I need to study up some stuff for class tomorrow so until next time...

Happy New Year
Another couple weeks have passed since I had a chance to write up a new entry so here goes. First off, I finished up classes for fall semester 2005 and was happy to get that done with. For my accounting final all I needed to get my anticipated C+ was a 20% on the final so to take the final I walked into the testing center and filled in "c" for every answer. When it all said and done I got a 22% which was passing with flying colors :) The day after class got out on the 17th I went to the U2 concert in SLC and had a great time. I went with Jeff, Ryan Whiting, Jeff Johnson, and a couple other people I didn't know. U2 put on a great show as expected and it was a great way to kick off my break in between semesters. On the 23rd of December I flew out to Baltimore Maryland to be with my brother Jared for the holidays. The flight went great and I actually arrived early which is surprising especially during the holiday season. Since my arrival we've had Christmas and a couple trips to D.C. to visit the sites. It's been great to see the capital and all that goes with it. On the 31st I took a trip up to Gettysburg and looked over that incredible battlefield. There's an interesting feeling there. I'll be flying out of Maryland on the 3rd to get back to the grind at home. I also recently purchased tickets to see G. Love perform up in Park City on the 21st so stay posted for the report on that!
