Diary of a Network Geek

Change is good, right?

Well, if you’ve noticed that my site hasn’t been updated much this week and were wondering why, it’s because one of my domains got booted from my old webhost. But, I found the folks over at Amzia.net and all is well. Actually, it’s better than “well”, at least on-line. Amzia.net is not only a better service, in my opinion, and a local company, but they’re cheaper, too! If you’re looking for hosting, check them out.

In other news, today is VD day. Oh, okay, “St. Valentine’s Day”. So, for fun, I bring you the news that Ken and Barbie are getting divorced. No, really. They make up some story about her being a “career worman” and all that kind of junk, but really, I think she’s just run off with G.I. Joe. Or, maybe this guy. I mean, c’mon, admit it, every girl likes a guy in uniform. Honestly, I think the only reason my wife was interested in me was that I told her her I was an Eagle Scout! (Then again, considering the pictures of my Eagle Ceremony, maybe not…) Personally, I think Ken should go for one of Joe’s girlfriends. Turnabout is fair play, after all. And, afterward, they could all get on one of the afternoon talk shows! Now, that’s what I call a good St. Valentine’s Day!!

My parents arrive for a short stay tomorrow.

I’m looking forward to seeing them, since it’s been over a year now, but I dread finding things to do. The truth is, I’m really a homebody and have little to no idea what to do around Houston! Sad, but true.
We’re all going out to dinner Friday night, for St. Valentine’s Day, so that’s taken care of, but the rest of their stay is up for grabs. I suggested checking out Shanghai Knights, but that may, or may not, be a good idea. And my wife suggested going to Old Town Spring, which sounds like something my Mom might like. As for the rest, I guess I’ll just have to play it by ear!
