Yeah, it's been a while since I posted anything on my LiveJournal. Life has been pretty busy and a large portion of the content I used to write about is technical and now just being posted to http://www.kernellabs.com/blog.
That said, things have been moving along lately. Preparations continue at a feverish pace for the wedding in May. The logistics are pretty overwhelming. In addition, with Victoria moving here in May I've been working to get the apartment ready for both her and the cats. This has meant lots of time spent cleaning out closets, throwing out crap, and general making of the apartment "kitty safe". One of the cats in particular likes to eat paper and gnaw on stuff, which doesn't bode well for all the circuit boards and other electronics I have sitting out.
Just because I didn't have enough on my plate already, I am in now the process of switching jobs. In a couple of weeks I start working at a company on Long Island that makes PC based TV tuners. It's the same sort of work I've been doing on Linux TV for the last two years, the opportunity to have a full time job doing such is very exciting.
So we have some exciting times ahead....

Its a mouth full of AWESOME!
Victoria came out to the City this weekend. On Friday night after work, we went and saw her mentor Katherine, who is going to be performing our wedding ceremony. Wow, I now have an appreciation for how much stuff variability the actual ceremony can have. Pacing, readings, vows, declarations of consent, language. Walked out with a ton of homework in terms of figuring out how we want this to go.
On Saturday, we had brunch at Tablespoon (sitting next to Lucy Liu), and then went down to Union Square and picked up Victoria's new glasses. Later that evening, Amy came over and we had Patsy's for dinner and chatted for most of the evening.
Today Victoria's aunt and grandmother came into the City. We showed them the apartment, got some lunch at Heartland Brewery, and went to the top of the Empire State Building. Despite my apartment being in the shadow of the building, I had not been to the top since 1998, and Victoria had never been at all. 15 miles of visibility, so we could see quite a bit. Will post some pictures I took later.
While staying with Victoria's aunt last weekend, we saw Jeff in a commercial. He's the one screaming "It's a mouth full of awesome!" at the end.
Too funny.

Fricking Awesome. This is yet another reason I like Andy Walls.

Hmmm, does not the "queue" in workqueue mean "FIFO"?

Weekend
Had a nice weekend. Went to Philadelphia Friday night after work. On Saturday, Victoria and I had dinner with Annie and Frank and played Cranium, and then went to Jeremy and Jamie's for Jeremy's birthday party (photos to follow).
Today we went to the movies and saw 2012, which was *ok*, but not terrific. We had a nice dinner at a vegetarian Chinese restaurant on South Street and then I hopped the bus back to New York. Been working on code, trying to get caught up.
With Victoria's classmates staying at the apartment from Friday to Sunday for the ABCT Conference (and the required preparations, cleaning, etc), and the board meeting for my building on Tuesday, it's going to be a busy week. Combined with two different driver projects I am working on, it's going to be extra busy.
Annie made me really delicious brownies with chocolate and peanut butter, and I just know I'm going to make myself sick at least one night this week due to my lack of self-control.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming...
Took the day off from work today so I could finally install the moulding I bought when I had the floor redone. Rented a mitre saw from Home Depot. Here's something that many of you in New Jersey don't often consider: if you rent a tool from Home Depot and you do not own a car, how do you get it home? Here's a constructive suggestion from personal experience: don't take the subway.
Anyway, that's done. Also picked up the appliance extension cord I need for the oven. Working on some Linux driver work tonight.

Don't worry, you don't need to be on Facebook to review. I've switched to using Facebook for my photos because the photo uploader in Livejournal is such a piece of crap, even after all these years. You hear that LiveJournal? If you're going to provide a "Scrapbook" feature, how about making it easy to upload photos in bulk?
