Sorry, things got really busy and complicated for me over the last few weeks, and - no excuse - it was more a choice not to update my Blog rather than laziness/procrastination/absentmindedness. Now everything is back on track, so I can finally start updating again.
I’ve been uncharacteristically busy at work as of late. Last week I only worked a little over 40 hours, but logged close to 60. There were a lot of times when I was working on two projects at once. The biggest thing I’m working on is a DVD Video Livewire is putting together for one of our clients. This is my first real-world project in DVD Video production. The software I’m using isn’t very complete (and has won the award for The World’s Most Annoying Splashscreen), but if this turns into a money-maker for Livewire, we’ll probably buy something decent.
For now, I’m damn happy to have several simultaneous projects. This is when I work most efficiently. Just think about it… we spend fourteen years in school, and another several years in Post-Secondary with several projects all running at the same time. Then we enter the workforce and are expected to “Focus on this…”. Personally, I’m three-times the worker when I have two projects running, and five-point-four times more efficient when I have three or more projects running.
If you can figure out a formula for what I just said, let me know. I’m too busy to sort it out right now.
On Saturday, I helped paint John & Seiko’s new place. After, M&D and I went to the Eldest Brother’s house to have dinner. I haven’t seen Erin and Freddy in a few weeks, so it was fun to once again fill them with sugar and get them wound up before leaving.
The house is just about done, and will be getting new carpeting on Wednesday. After that, I have to help them move in. At about the same time, I have to move Paul’s stuff. My stuff will probably migrate over to the new apartment during the first half of December.
Simone asked me if I was going to move my computer and bed before I started sleeping over at the new place. I had to remind her that “Home Is Where The Hard Drive Is”. Once my computer moves… I’m moved.
Sunday, I had a total Geek Day. Andrew’s sister was having trouble with her computer, so she brought it over for me to take a look at. While troubleshooting and replacing the CPU fan, I watched LotR: The Two Towers. I even worked a trip to the computer store into the mix.
Gawd, I’m a geek - and I love it.
