Let’s see…Back at the end of February, I got rehired by one of my previous employers, P3I, and am now the Web Developer/Windows Security person supporting the 14th Weather Squadron here in Asheville. Same place of work, slightly different position. I’m still doing mostly Linux system administration (RedHat and SuSE), but with the new Windows part of my title comes the duties of Sharepoint administration. I got to go to Atlanta for a week of Sharepoint training a few weeks ago, and I’m headed to DC for another week soon.

The Whappers continue to rock, and we finished our 3 song demo earlier this month. We have put the finishing touches on our press kit, so look for us starting to play out much more often soon!

Gray turns 5 in May, which is pretty crazy. Dax is 2.5 now. It’s amazing to watch them each develop the individual personalities. They have both reached the age where they play together, which is great during those times that Alicia and I need a little downtime.

Alicia has had several openings at the Merrimon Avenue Galleries, and she continues to sell many paintings and jewelry at the Kress Emporium. It seems her booth is one of the most popular. She has even branched out into finding old furniture, fixing it up, and painting it. Look for an updated web site soon.

I’ve been doing a good bit of side work still too. Nothing to show yet, but several projects are nearing completion.

I think that’s not all, but that’s all I can think of.

The band I’ve been playing with since October finally has a name, and it is The Whappers.

Naturally, we have an official The Whappers web site (set up by yours truly) and the obligatory Myspace page too.

Last, but certainly not least, we will be playing this Saturday in Asheville at the Emerald Lounge on lower Lexington Avenue downtown. Let the face melting begin.

First, I’d like to point out the new Photo Gallery I put up here. I decided to start fresh, but look for more pictures (and video…yay!) soon.

September has been a more relaxed month in that I am no longer under the big deadline I was stressing out about in August. The web server nightmare and subsequent move to a new server has smoothed out rather well. I’ve had visits from family the last two weekends. And I’ve been playing some music here and there, which is always good. Most importantly, I’ve been doing fun things with the boys and Alicia since I haven’t had so much extra work to do.

I have a bunch of cool links to post soon, so check back.

Oh, in case you were wondering, we don’t need no stinking badges.
