I now officially have my 3rd DyKnow User Group Meeting under my belt. For some reason I’m not always super excited about going, probably because I usually end up going by myself, but I always immensely enjoy being there. This year I found out that apparently everybody from DyKnow knows about my blog. I remember a year ago or so I was looking at my stats and saw a bunch of hits from their domain. I was a little intrigued but kinda forgot about it. Anyways, this has encouraged me to blog a bit more about some of the techie stuff I deal with.
This year they’ve started up a community web site for all of us users to populate with tips, tricks, etc, etc. I think this is a wonderful idea. I love being able to go to a forum for a software package and troubleshoot my problems using other peoples’ past experiences. I should be posting a few things as soon as my account gets activated. I also wrote up a little report to turn in to my jefe. If you’re interested in reading it, I’ve pasted it down below so as not to bore all you casual readers. Some of the formatting is a little off because things never transfer correctly from Word, but it’s still readable.

Yeah, I’m gonna get something real hardcore like Falkor from Never Ending Story giving Snuffleupagus a high five….across my back.
I feel like lots has been happening. Every time I think, “I should blog about that” I’m always too busy to actually sit down and do it. Last week our water got turned off. That was kinda interesting. Luckily I was already done with my shower and out the door when it happened. Well, I guess that’s lucky for me. I called up the city and turns out they had turned off the wrong water. Our neighbor had moved out the night before and the city had just made a mistake. At first I was a bit worried about forgetting to pay the bill or something like that. Everything turned out though.
I’m sure all of you are looking forward to all of the new summer movies coming out. Liz and I still haven’t seen Spiderman 3 or the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. We don’t really care that much. We’re saving our money for the good ones….like Hot Fuzz, 28 Weeks Later and more recently……Knocked Up. That latest, another Judd Apatow classic, is simply amazing. The best thing I’ve seen since Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. I just love the stuff he makes because they characters seem so real. I sympathize with them, I have a friend just like them, or something happens that happened to me once. I also loved that half the cast from his TV shows appeared in this movie. If you saw 40 Year Old Virgin, you would have recognized a ton of actors there too. I’m hoping Liz and I go see it again.
Lastly, I went to my asthma doctor yesterday. It’s been three months since I felt like I was dying. Amazingly, my lungs are great. However, I just so happened to have gained 20+ pounds since all this crap started a little over a year ago. Starting last month, I’ve been trying to get active again. I’ve been walking to work (about 4 miles round trip), I’ve gotten back into lifting again and I’ve tried to start eating less. I don’t think Liz likes my amazing weight loss capabilities. Last year I realized some of my clothes didn’t fit any more so I lost 10 pounds in a week and a half so I could wear my nice pants to a wedding. For some reason when I start eating only when I’m hungry and start exercising, the pounds just drop. For example, I lost 5 pounds between yesterday morning and this morning. That’s a bit extreme, but as long as I keep it off and stick to what I’m doing, I’ll hoping be back to “normal” by the end of summer.
