blogging again!

I upgraded the WordPress installations over at ResTek to 2.7 this morning and the new design made me want to start up my own blog again. A while back I deleted my account over at Dreamhost because I got tired of paying for it so I decided to use this free service instead.

With me being set to graduate in a 2-3 quarters (finally…), we’re looking for a new Server Administrator for ResTek. We found one to do the Housing stuff a while back. The pay isn’t anything to write home about and you’re limited to 19 hours per week (40 during breaks) but it’s an opportunity to learn an incredible amount, whether it be through experimentation or your peers. Things run really smoothly lately as far as the servers are concerned, but they won’t forever, and whoever is around will have an opportunity (like I did) to make improvments.

A while back I ended up picking up a new monitor finally. Next on my list is a set of speakers, but I’m too broke to pay for those just yet and Christmas is coming up meaning I’ll be spending my money on gifts for people. Estimates show the new monitor has increased my productivity about 35.7%. It’s nothing amazing but it’s nice to be able to watch movies or TV shows (The X-Files) from the comfort of your bed.
