So this monday was a pretty good birthday if I must say so myself. Woke up in the morning and found a couple pairs of jeans and a shirt left on my bed by the birthday bunny. Headed to work, but there wasn’t much going on. Got some singing and stuff from some of my co-workers. My Grandparents also rang in with cards and phone calls, so it was nice to hear from them as well. When I got home Stacey gave me a bag full of candy with what I must say was a great card on it:<\/p>\n
To: Dork<\/p>\n
From: The Bestest Sister Ever<\/p>\n
Happy Birthday.<\/p>\n
Slightly paraphrased as I don’t have the card right in front of me. Next my family (including Pauline) and I headed to Glasgow and ate at the Tumbleweed<\/a> there. The food was great and it was nice to get to spend some time with everyone. Pauline also brought the first mock-up of my custom laptop bag that she is making me. I didn’t want gears to feel left out since diablo had his own carrying bag. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n While I did get called in that night to fix something, the next day continued to seem somewhat like my birthday as I had taken the morning off from AFNI<\/a> and got another present while I was enjoying the time off. By the end of the day though I was pretty tired, but I went to WEMS and worked on that lab setup there some more. It is shaping up some, but I am starting to run into problems that server horsepower and clever little tricks on my part are struggling to solve. Hopefully it will all work out though when I get the second server and get it setup.<\/p>\n Today I picked up the other of Pauline’s gift, which is more than likely to make all my other machines quite jealous of diablo. She ordered my a Li-Lan all aluminum case from Think-Geek. It comes pre-modded with a window in the side, blow hole on top and it is a sleek black finish. With the addition of the Tux Windows etching that I purchased for it and the red light strips it is going to be a really nice looking machine. Brock<\/a> mentioned some stuff to allow me to dual color the etching or even to add things to it. Now I am thinking that I might try for some horns and a tail to go on Tux …..hmmmm. The site he pointed me to is located at metku.net<\/a>. Check out his stuff, it will make you want to buy a dremel and box of led lights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So this monday was a pretty good birthday if I must say so myself.
