I am now the proud owner of an 8gb iPhone. While I’m a little bummed out that the stocks widget is hardset (I don’t really care about stocks and the market at all). Other than that this is the greatest phone ever. Well worth the wait and I can’t wait to go crazy customizing and optimizing it for what I need/want it to do. Crazy that I’ve had a cellphone since 1997 and this is the first one that does anything close to what I want a phone to do. Give me a few weeks to get really in depth into what it can and can’t do and I’ll post a review on it.

So I’m going to start this off quite simply and succinctly. I am so enamored with OSX Server and the Apple Remote Desktop tool that returning to a Windows based network literally makes me want to cry. This is the greatest server setup I’ve ever dealt with. It’s amazing, simple, stable and all around just great. Other than that I’m dealing with the typical getting systems updated and correctly configured.
Right now I’m in planning stages to overhaul the account management and equipment management policies. So far it’s going swimmingly and I hope it contiues to go as smoothly.

Overall after the first week I’m totally thrilled about the place. My boss is great, my Corp. IT Director is great, my tech Mike is awesome and everyone else I work with seem excited to see what I can do about cleaning up the network and making it a faster, more reliable stable one.

In other news, still looking for a house down there and so to minimize the costs of a car rental and wear and tear on my friendships with Jason and Angela I’m going to relocate temporarily to a extended stay hotel until I find a house (I figure this will also motivate me that much more to find a place quickly since hotels are spendy :D

I’ll try and get a more verbose posting up with a daily rundown but that might end up moving to it’s own blog at dreamflicks.com

Lates.

So it’s been a really long time since I’ve posted a new entry. Long story short (and to paraphrase Shrubya) Parenting is hard. It’s a long hour, tiring messy job and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

In other news, we’re moving out of our new apartment due to heavy water damage that the management “forgot” to mention. The place seemed really nice until we noticed the black mold seeping through the paint (not food for a place only 3 years old).

Also in other news I just baked my first banana bread from scratch and it is was really good. yum

More news later. In the meantime I’m no longer participating in the cssreboot. It now appears that the new site is nothing more than a digg traffic generating engine. The from scratch gorgeous site former owner Benjamin Adam designed has been replaced with an unskinned Pligg install and all registration info was dumped in the move. Very sad.

Not much on exact details yet but:

touchscreen, no stylus, gorgeous iphone from Apple.

Here’s a pic:
