Things are interesting.

First and foremost I want to extend congratulations to my friends Brian and Lindsay who just got married yesterday. Granted they're not going to see this for some time as they are probably already a little more than halfway to Hawaii right now, but it's the day after the wedding and I was too tired after the ceremony/reception last night to write this update.

Of course while I've never been one to discuss my own relationship-ish stuff on my site, I feel like I need to make an exception in this case. Yes, I have a girlfriend. Yes, she's awesome. No, she's not pretend. We've had a really great month together so far, and it doesn't show signs of slowing. This weekend we're headed up to the lake, so I'm going to have to once again suppress my seasickness, or at least make sure the boat just keeps moving forward.

Then there's work. I have a new boss already. Thanks to some corporate restructuring I've been moved under an engineering manager whose department was also shifted under someone else. No big deal, though. As good as my last manager was, I've worked with my new boss regularly and he's a cool guy. Plus, since I have a very specific job, nothing about what I do is going to be different. I'm not worried about the change.

I am quite sick. Enough to require a doctor visit.

I do not like going to the doctor, but I will admit that my doctor is really great. I first started going to him on the recommendation of a friend and former colleage at SecureWorks, and I'm glad I did. He's the type of doctor that takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, answer all your questions, and crack the occasional joke or two.

But right now I just want to rest.

And we're back. In more ways than one.

So you may have noticed that my website has been down for a long time. This, you see, is because I went on vacation. Not directly, mind you, but invariably any time I go on vacation something happens which causes my site to go down while I am out of town and is not possible to fix until I return. In this case, two days before leaving my ISP seemingly imploded. You couldn't get to their websites, you couldn't call them on the phone, and you couldn't visit their offices. It looked like they'd shut down entirely.

As a result, I was left with no choice to attempt a last-minute changeover to a new ISP, working to reconfigure my entire network in advance prior to the circuit being activated so that when the connection was lit up, my sites would come back online immediately. Unfortunately, this did not happen as I had some netmasks incorrect and a busted route.

Things are up and running again, though DNS has not fully propagated as of yet so access to the site is going to be spotty for the next day or two. But since you're here (and reading this) you're free to have a look at the photos from my trip to Germany.

Update: Thanks to me using two cameras, I've just discovered the images in the gallery are going to display out of order. I'll fix this when I have more time.
