I have vacation coming up next week and everyone advises that I go out of the area for a little bit.  I’m torn as to what I want to do.  Course, due to my ill timing it seems I’ll be flying solo no matter what I choose to do.  It’s sort of depressing but so is the life of me.  Grin and bare it!  I’ve got a few ideas from coworkers but not sure which I’ll settle on.  I should just compile a list and look each up and see if I can afford a trip there or not and then plan it out the rest of the way.  We shall see though.  I have an entire week to make up my mind yet!

Windows 7 has all kinds of neat perks and tricks that anyone can take advantage of if they know where to look or do to use them.  Since beta, a friend of mine had wrote a few blog posts about Windows 7 and ways to tweak or use it.  You can find him and his rantings here.  I would have linked to every article but it’s better if you actually browse through his site since he has quite a few useful articles on all sorts of things.

The boys over at maximumpc.com have also done something similar about windows 7.  There’s quite a few pages to what they posted but its all good info.  If you haven’t checked these 2 sites out and you have windows 7, then I guess you need to haul click-butt over to them now!

I haven’t had much to post about lately.  It’s been so busy with work and company that I just haven’t had the time for much else.  Next week I should have something to put up on here.  Until then, hang in there!

Well, last Friday I purchased an enchilada lunch plate that was for a little league charity fund raiser and ended up with food poisoning.  It didn’t kick in until 8 or so hours later.  That was one ugly twist of the stomach and body aches all over.  I had to work Saturday and that’s when my symptoms kicked in.  Man, lets just say the toilet gods shined on me since I was the only guy in the building Saturday.  I made so many trips it looked like I was doing drills!  Needless to say, that killed my gut’s appetite for mexican food for awhile.

Looks like my new FPS love is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.  It’s very well done.  I like the realism the game has as well as the competitiveness in the multiplayer side of it.  The queuing system in it reminds me of halo’s multiplayer lobbies.  I pretty much suck at it but hey, the only way to learn how to do it is play against those greater than you.  Gotta eventually catch on!  Or just get beat down a lot.  Either way, the game is pretty fun.  Worth trying out at least once if you’ve not played any call of duty games.

PS: PC version for the win.  That’s right, I stab at thee console jockeys!
