Now I'm calling the cable company to order their cable modem package. :evilgrin: [Caveat: That is, if they are honestly, truly offering it in my area. They've had a tendency to be non-committal wrt when my neighborhood gets coverage. But they just sent me this flier in the mail, so we shall see.]

I'm glad you have a good job now :)

Buy nifty stuff? I already put in a request for the cable modem today; I was told that my neighborhood is supported.
I also need to get some new ties for this new job. Ah well, we sometimes need to make sacrifices. I will miss wearing demin shorts in the summer months.
I am experiencing both relief and trepidation. I'm glad that I'll finally have a steady income, but I have this feeling that I must "prove myself" all over again. But maybe I'm just putting too much undue stress on myself; that's what my wife thinks. It was with sadness that I had to tell my old/current boss that I've found a full-time position. Sure, he wanted to hire me full time, but they couldn't afford to do it for "a few more months" -- unfortunately, I need to pay my mortgage now, so I had to make that decision.
Looks like I'll still get some work from him on the side, but in LAN administration and some web server work.
Money is nice to have, I have learned.

You could have asked me, I could have told you that :)
I'm in southeast Pennsylvania. Wisconsin isn't all that far, no?
add the entire length of the Cheese State to that though, it's prolly close to a thousand miles :(
One day we shall have an OSY-meet though. We should determine a central location. Most of us live on the N. American Continent.

Hehe, no, that's not selfish of me ;)

Also have friends in Chicago.
Of course, if you come out my way, I'd be willing to put some people up in my place. We do have some room. :D That, and a house-wide LAN; Starcraft, Q3, Civ3, Dungeon Siege, RtCW anyone? :evilgrin:

Obviously I'm back up and running here in the heartland. Now I gotta drive down to WI and find AYB a job. Don't make me do that AYB, I'll be pissed if I spend any more time in my truck ( 2168 miles in 5 days, 1680 of that in 2 days ).
This = Teh Win!

Does High Heat have LAN support? I have several game pads, just in case!
Not to mention our extensive DVD and even more prodigious laserdisc collection -- we'd not be lacking for entertainment. Unless you wanted to play a console, that is. ;)

I'd definitely like to do multiplayer Dungeon Siege.
The Mighty AYB shall quest with you in this INDEED!

I'm quite the reverse; I never commit enough time to get into career mode.

Do regale us all with the great tales of your working tagnuttery, Harb!

Meanwhile, I'm working at implementing Terminal Services and ISA server at my current contract job. And I have a few *BSD distros to play with at home, and if I get some time I need to complete my Cisco learnin'. Now, if I could only figure out a way to play Dungeon Siege while I sleep, I'll have this 'time management' thing down pat.
