When it rains it pours

I imagine that whatever loyal readers I had/have likely have moved on, given that I haven’t updated this blog in forever.

I checked my posts real quick and I see a few drafts that are pretty meaty and just need finishing, I will maybe see about doing those tonight.

Quick update….

1) Work has been busy, good busy, lots to do, lots of freelancing to be had.

2) I formed a company, “Red F Tech Consulting, Inc”. I had been doing consulting/freelancing for the better part of 2010, but in April of 2011, I formalized it and have moved all my freelancing work under my company. Learned a lot about ADP, accounting, payroll taxes, regular taxes and what not.

3) Started swimming in the mornings (recent as of this week), the evenings are CRAZY busy at El Salido, so in the mornings I now swim at the Milbourn pool, closer to the house, open for lap swimming from 6am to 9am, cost $50 for the summer. I miss El Salido, but it will be there for me in the winter, after Milbourn has closed. Still swimming at El Salido on the weekends.

4) Still driving the Corolla, but thinking about test driving some cars soon, namely the Yaris (hatchback).

5) My 15″ MacBook Pro is in for repairs, again. I am still an overall satisfied Apple customer/user, but starting to feel like a Jaguar owner, it is great when it isn’t in the shop. This time the Video Card and possibly the general cooling system for the machine is fscked. I expect it back on probably Monday, hopefully Monday. My spare MacBook (plastic white one) is a good stand-in, but I am still a little hampered in what I can do without my 15″, nothing critical is being held up, but I miss it.

6) I still bake, but the frequency has dropped significantly with the amount of extra freelance work I have been doing.

Well, all for now.
