Catching Up and Other Things

The holiday's were good. We went out to Vermont where there was nice food and drink (mmm, hot buttered rum is just the thing when it's 15 degrees F out) as well as some wonderful weather (at least until the temperature went above 30F -- then things started getting wet).

After Christmas, we returned from Vermont to some more family gatherings. First was with my Dad and then with my Grandmother as we'd missed her 80th birthday while we were out at Vermont.

After that we headed into the City (aka San Francisco in these parts) to spend two nights in a hotel to have a private room. We spent most of the time playing board games and the rest of the time either walking around in the rain, watching TV, or trying to figure out how "those shops" can get away with selling stuff that is clearly fake.

Returning from that meant returning to work and to all of the stuff I mentioned above. This meant some catching up since not only had the office been closed the last week of the year I was out most of the week before that. My work email was actually the easiest bit of it.

I'm now spending the weekend trying to catch up on the last week. CES presented quite a few interesting things this time. One of the more practical of which was the Intel Core Duo which Dell is already shipping in their Inspiron E1705 and Inspiron 9400 machines -- and it's not much more expensive than the Dothan processor it's replacing.

That's all for now -- time to go watch videos on my iPod or play games on my PSP (or new games I got for the GBA SP and N-Gage).

I got back from the new year with a crazy full RSS aggregator and even more podcasts. Aside from a few sites, I decided to just mark everything as read and start fresh. Even so, with CES this week, that didn't help much. And there were a number of podcasts that I actually wanted to listen to from over the holidays. The net result is that after an update late Sunday I didn't start updating much until last night -- which meant another week to catch up on. Erf. The holiday's were good.
