It’s been a while since I updated my blog.  I haven’t been able to take photographs outside because of the rain and it is starting to get annoying.

Lately, I have been busy with work and spending time with my girlfriend.  Within the past week, I have been working on my computer and replaced my old Netgear router with a Linksys WRT54G-TM Router.  The reason for the switch was so that I could replace the firmware inside of the box with the newest version of DD-WRT.  The new software is a breeze to setup and has a much better range of features for the router.  The second modification I made to the box was to install a heatsink on the main chip and a fan on the top of the case to push more air into the box to cool down the components.  This was a fun modification and has kept me from being bored with my free time.  The WRT54G-TM model is better than some of the other routers because it has the available space to install the Mega version of DD-WRT.  This model also runs a bit faster and won’t bog down as easy with heavy load.

I have a vacation coming up soon and I am saving up some money for the trip.  Disney World HERE I COME!  But really, I have only been to Disneyland and that was when I was 12 years old.  My girlfriend and I booked a trip to fly to North Carolina to visit some of my family and from there we are all going to drive down to Florida to stay for a week.  I will be taking my camera with me and I hope to come back with an awesome collection of photographs to post here and upload to flickr.  The entire 10 day trip will be awesome, considering it has been a very long time since I have been out to N.C.

As my girlfriend falls asleep next to me on the couch, I sit here looking out my living room window and see that it’s raining fairly hard.  I haven’t been able to go out and take pictures of much lately and everything in my house isn’t very interesting.

I have a short shift at work tonight, 6pm to 9pm.  Tonight will most likely be really slow, especially when retail sales are down, not to mention, the NYSE took a hit today and dropped like a rock.  I might try to take a few photos of products or something to pass the time when I have nothing else to do.

Three hours until work and it looks like today will end up being fairly mellow.
