So, I finally got the raise I’ve been hoping for. Seems like its been coming forever. Anyway, I just want to keep it short and sweet today, so there you go. I got a raise.

Well, last night me and several friends celebrated the new year, the last half of this year has been so wonderful. I have to say thank you to my wonderful Fiance, Jennifer. She really completes me and I honestly have no idea what I would do without her. I’ve updated the look of my blog, hopefully it is less offensive to the eyes than the last one.

So, I’ve been censoring my blog, knowing that my General Manager and Manager read it. That ends right here, right now. It is my personal web space and I will say what I want on it. I recently got moved from WestHost, where I had been working for 2 years and am now a Server Engineer for vps.net. Read the rest of this entry »

I just had to rant on this, I’ve seen it so much lately in my profession it is just making me sick. Changing your SSH or other ports for “security reasons” is stupid. Let me show you how stupid it really is. Read the rest of this entry »

So, shortly after my last blog post, my drivers side window got broken. This was Salt Lake City’s last strike, it is forever out of my book for living places. At least nothing got stolen out of my car, not that there is much to steal in there, just some trash, couple of pieces of paper with nothing personal on them, and my little stereo. I let my insurance know this and they are going to replace the window for the cost of the deductible, which is $150. This surprised me but I figure its cheaper than buying the glass and getting it repaired myself.

So, I drove up to Layton, helped my mom get some groceries because apparently she has hurt her back and so I wanted to help her out, then I ate some dinner and headed home to Logan. Drive was interesting, I never leave my windows down while driving on the freeway. Anyway, I got home, unpacked slightly, then watched Coraline with my roommate in 3d. I liked how they kept the 3d subtle and not scream in your face 3d. The movie itself made me think the writer was on some crazy drugs while writing it, but it was a very good movie. After that I got ready for bed and got to sleep at around 11 or 12.

Now I am back at work, had to get up at 6am so I could get to work on time. I am excited for next week because then I get Sunday afternoon shifts instead of Sunday Mornings. It was a pleasant surprise from the Team Lead. I’m not sure it’ll last, but I’m excited to see what happens. This week is going to be busy, I will be working 14 – 16 hour days up until Thursday and Friday when I only work 6 or 7.
