travis' brain dump

You know it often amazes me that as time progresses I find myself looking at all the aspects of this blogsite. Perhaps its the fact I’m using it more or otherwise just coming up with new ideas but I find myself revamping the back end almost constantly. Different approaches to what and how certain things can be read or how they are categorized is almost a constant changing progress. To the effect of these changes, I’ve done the following:

Added ‘ Tech Stuff ‘ Category – Ok, so this was necessary as it seems I’ve crossed a threshold… I’ve posted three tech related posts and now it requires it’s own category. LOL

Added ‘ Humor ‘ Category – This too seemed necessary, however it seems there will be some cross pollenation between General and Humor anyway, so bear with me. 🙂

Moved Some Posts – Some posts have been moved to ‘ Private ‘ status. The reason for this is simply, I don’t want crawlers picking up some of my posts. While there are posts that still have passwords on them, the ones that are Personal and simply sent to ‘ Private ‘ are viewable if you have a login into the site. *any* subscriber who has been authorized is able to view those so long as there isn’t a password. If you happen to be looking for something, for whatever reason and can’t find it, just mail me. 🙂

Adding pictures – Yes, I’m going to try to continue update pictures… I’ve got plenty, just need to get em up. :)

Trying to take a little more time for life here… I guess it seems I’ve been kind of living in a little box for a while — according to Andy that is. I love how he explained it last night. paraphrased ->  ” I just sat there and watched, I knew you were still with us… but much longer and I’d have had to step in and kick your butt. ” Thanks Andy… glad to know you’d have beat me down, that’s what friends are for huh? Still, there is a part of me that is still grinding on things and is a bit disturbed. I’ll figure it out. That’s what I do right? At least I’ve got reinforcements called friends, I love you guys. 🙂 So, go right on with your threats Andy… I’m ready for ya! lol

Today has been a good day so far. I hope it stays that way. 🙂

I’m sure Kate is going to read that title and go… ‘ wait, didn’t I already get an email with that subject? ‘ lol

It is indeed midweek mayhem around here… It’s been steady all day today… just little things mainly except this morning… a couple of the engineers freaked out because they swore there was something wrong with the way my automated system packages and distributes our judgement base. (the dictionary of sorts that helps read content on web pages and categorize them) It turns out… it was a problem with winzip and a setting that needed to be switched… on their end… meaning my process is still 100% perfect. *hah!* I’m seriously going to develop some ego issues if I keep being right like this, but I’m afraid to ask what that one event will be that deflates it.

Speaking of ego’s… House last night… very good. I don’t think there were many moments Andy, Mike or I were not laughing. If you haven’t seen it, you must at least view it a couple times and give it a fair chance. So speaking of new things… new NIN album came out… not too shabby. I’ve got it cranked pretty good in my office right now, lol.

Anyway, microwaved lunch time.

pointless fun today… go try it if you’re bored or something… lol

… it’s quite possibly time for a blog.

With this new week it seems as though there are plenty of things going on. The weekend was quite nice I must say.

Saturday wasn’t too bad, well overall… We got some great runs in up at Breck on an absolutely amazing day. The temperatures were up in the 40’s with wondeful powder/packed powder surfaces. You couldn’t have asked for a better day. I believe we’ve gotten Ryan off to a great start in his endeavor to learn how to snowboard. He made significant progress within a short amount of time, however he was pretty done by the time he made it down the mountain… Just a couple more trips and he should be good to go. 🙂 The day however wasn’t without incident. Ronnie smacked his head pretty good towards the end of his 5th run and it left for an interesting afternoon. What started innocently as a good whack to the head ended up with a wild ride through the land of a pretty decent sized concussion with all the trimmings an emergency room trip to top it all off. It was good to see him up and moving around and remembering things again by the evening that’s for sure. Glad you’re ok buddy, you gave us all a good scare!

Sunday… well typical at best I must say, however a nap would have made the day all the better. I seriously woke up feeling like a coma patient coming out of it, but strangely I wasn’t all that tired. Pretty good for how long I was up and the pretty darn good workout I got up on the mountain. Oo… I broke a record too… but I’ll talk about that one later… LOL Later that night I had a lil crew show up for some fun and hanging out sometime around 6 so that was interesting. Shout out to Kate and crew, Mike, Ryan and Sharon for coming up! By the end of the night I think everyone was pretty tired out but seemed to have had a good time. Thanks Kate for bringing up the ingredients for dinner. Judging by the fact we didn’t have a single left over… I’d say it turned out good. LOL

So far the week as a whole hasn’t been bad at all. Interesting things going on all around and it’s only Tuesday. *scratches head* scary, lol. Overall I’m doing pretty good … I’d say a lot better than prior to Thursday for sure. Nothing like a little forceful self-smacking around and self-demand to pull ones head from ones rear end to get things rolling. 🙂 Just can’t let stuff bug me, whatever the case, that’s all. Either or, feeling pretty good today exception a meeting scheduled for 4pm. I really hate that crap. I’m trying to wrap stuff up from the day, not get something started… And people wonder why engineers always want to choke the life out of marketing people. muhaha :) 

I need to work out today…. I missed one last week and it’s frustrating me just a little, but what can one do? Weight has been holding steady so I can’t complain there and overall I’m feeling much better now so diet and exercise is working quite well. Mike, bring your butt up tonight. I’m serious, we need to talk bro. Same for you Andy! 😛

hmm phone call … much more interesting than blogging… later 🙂
