Slept in today. It’s the first time I’ve been able to do this in a few weeks, with the Brooklyn GNOME Summit and the Thanksgiving holiday and all the travelling.

In fact, today I pretty much just sat around the house. Yesterday my dad and I went down to my elementary school, St. Pats, to run some cat 5 for the middle school and such. Until now they had been running the network on a coax ring which was fine for the old Netware network (no offense to my employer!) but doesn’t really cut the mustard now. We thought it’d be a short job, but we ran into a bunch of problems drilling holes into the cinder block walls and pulling cable through blocked columns. What we had antcipated to be a five our job ended up taking 14, and we didn’t completely finish.

Yeah, so that sucked and I went drinking afterward with Kara.

Saw a bunch of other folks from high school and chatted with a few.

Thanksgiving was lovely. Are we a good lookin’ bunch or what? (I am not pictured)
