Here you'll find updates on big events in my life as well as photos, a calendar, and my resume.
So, I guess that the pictures that were taken shortly after Vanessa and I were engaged don’t count as “engagement pictures”… or something like that. 
So we spent a couple hours this afternoon on campus taking pictures that I’m told are the “official” engagement pictures.

I spent a good portion of the last two days trying to get iCal to publish calendars to my PHPiCalendar installation using publish.ical.php. Whenever I tried to add auth in my /calendar/calendars/.htaccess with something like this I’d get a 404 error displayed by wordpress:

It’s that time of the year again — just a couple of months until my domain name registration needs renewed. Since I’ve been piggybacking on a friend’s hosting service for the past couple years and since I’ll have left Manhattan by this time next year, I decided that maybe it was time to start looking for a hosting service of my own.
After searching for a little while for web hosting plans, I decided that really what I was looking for was cheap above anything else. I don’t really expect this site to ever be very large or consume a lot of bandwidth, so almost any paid plan would work. So I found a plan through FindMyHosting for less than $2/mo that had everything I needed. It lacks shell access, but that’s something I can live without.
Anyway…. to the point of this post — I saw the web host change as an opportunity to change things up a little on my site. I’m trying out a new WordPress theme, and I found a better Flickr plugin that displays my photos from Flickr on my site. Tell me what you think.
I finished my internship at Garmin in their marine division where I was working on a new chartplotter for the 2007 line. I thoroughly enjoyed my projects there, and the culture at Garmin is absolutely amazing.
I’d highly recommend an internship at Garmin to any exceptional undergraduate students (they’ll only take the best), and I hope to start working there in May 2007 after I graduate.
Here are the pictures that Amy (Vanessa’s mom) took of us at University Gardens — the place where I proposed — this weekend.
The bell tolls for me. Or maybe that should be “the (wedding) bells ring”… Only time will tell.
As of last night around 19:20, I am a (very happily) engaged man. Woohoo!

In the past week I’ve gotten the privelage to run away from an almost-3 year old pretending to be a snake, watch a 1.5 year old eat a lemon, and have an almost-4 year old tell me that I’m his buddy while he’s laying on me watching a movie and then try to get his mom to let him come home with me.
I love life.
I have a Beach Boys song stuck in my head — I can’t really say that I mind, but it’s strange. That’s all for now; I’m busy beating a SunBlade 1000 into submission… so far it’s winning. 
So… I’d told myself that I wasn’t going to be “one of those” — the people that use their blog/xanga/whateveryoukidscallthemthesedays to gush about that “special someone” that makes their eyes light up and heart jump for joy… But, in the interest of being able to direct people here in lieu of going through it in 101 different conversations via IM, I’m going to have to break that unwritten rule. I promise to keep these entries few and far between so as to not annoy those of you that have me RSS aggregated in with many others.
