New Year, New Look

Happy New Year! I’ve decided a few things:

  1. This site needed a facelift. New theme, new header graphic, maybe more if I get ambitious.
  2. I need to either post here or abandon the site. I’m going to try to post more. This year I’ll be deploying a DCIM system for work and I figure that the experience will make for some decent content. I’ll also be working on several other large projects that should make for some interesting posts.
  3. Posts here will be mostly technical. But, amazingly many things are technical – data center stuff & IT stuff is obvious, but parenting, home repair, cooking, and many other things are extremely technical too…

Here are a few planned items that I hope to post about in the next 30 days (it helps to have a plan!):

  • DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) software – evaluating and selecting
  • Data Center Management – Facilities vs Information Technology?
  • Leaving IT and then working with them as an internal business partner

It’s a pretty crazy world we live in

I started out the year fully intending on finding some quiet time once or twice a week to sit down and write a few entries. Just minor stuff, links I found interesting… social commentary… the usual rubbish. Looking at the archives, I managed alright until the end of March.

That is when we went on vacation. We had good time, but when I got back to work. Whoa… strap on the seat belt and hang on. April began with me leaving for San Antonio over the Easter weekend and Katie going to Vegas with a couple of her friends. She had a good time. I was working and it was extremely humid and raining in San Antonio. When Katie got back she complained about how crappy she felt when she was in Vegas… she took a pregnancy test and… we found out that we are going to be parents!

hmmm…

I just realized that if you look at most of my pictures on flickr that you might think that Kate and I are some kinda lushes…

Well… only when we have no commitments the next day…

and that happens very rarely…
