Back from vacation, and back into the maelstrom of work! First things first! I did manage to keep up with the journal while we were in Orlando. I have formatted the trip on a page of it’s own here. I will finish it up by adding some pictures (hopefully later this week). Needless to say, we had an absolutely great time! Ah yes, back to the subject of work- good news (finally) I am now the first (and at the moment the only) Senior Systems Administrator for SBC Wireless! I haven’t really had any time to relish this new title because as soon as I accepted, I got hit with all sorts of new projects (including the fact that my co-sysadmin will now be reporting to me) sheesh! A bit more than I bargained for!
I finally succumbed to temptation and purchased a game for my home pc. As you may know, I am not by nature a player of pc games. This one is different. Diablo II. I enjoy being able to enjoy a bit of gameplay with an intuitive interface. I don’t want to learn some cryptic hand gestures reminiscent of a necromancer aising the dead just to be able to play a game ( ala’ Half-Life. It shouldn’t require seven out of ten fingers and an above human dexterity just to play a friggin’ game!) Diablo II has a very easy interface. In fact, I can easily play the game with my mouse and occasionally two buttons on the keyboard. I applaud the developers at Blizzard for the wonderful interface. It makes the game so much easier to enjoy!
