So, how about the lack of updates around here? Well, there are a couple of reasons for that. For starters, last week was a total wash. I (along with pretty much everyone else in my group) was sent to training over at Tibco, for the entire week. The first three days were spent learning their new product, "Business Works". The last two were more technical, learning how the Tibco adapter SDK works.
Anyways, the point being, that it was a really exhausting week. And of course, now that we have all taken a giant gulp from the Tibco kool-aid, we have to immediately launch into a quick-to-market project with an insane deadline.
But not only is work being, well, a bunch of work, but other stuff is happening as well. For starters, Sara moved out about a month ago, deciding that the job thing wasn't happening out here, and that it was time to move back home and give the Chicago thing a try again. So, now I've got a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment to myself, which is really a waste. So, I'm doing the whole "trying to find a roommate" thing. Which, so far, is not going well at all. So much for the fabled craigslist.
So, it's increasingly looking like I'm going to be moving out of here sometime in the next month, into a one bedroom. Since everybody knows how much I don't like moving, you know that I'm excited.
Oh, and I've been buying far too many video games recently (though that doesn't exactly translate to me playing them, but I'm close), and I'm going to get into comics again (damn that Joss Whedon! Plus, Claremont and Davis doing Uncanny!?!? I'm not made of stone here, people!). So, I'm thinking no girlfriend until 2005, Mike's Orkut gesture be damned.

You can reconcile video games, comic books and girlfriend. It can happen. Just look at Mike. I have faith in you man.
