Late-night weekday banter....
Good evening folks,
Looks like I'm still waiting for the remaining laundry so I can finish packing for tomorrow morning's trip, and a good time to update the blog.
Health and Exercise Updates:
Since spring is here and summer is fast approaching, charity and weekend exercise events are here! Since the last post of the tour de cure, I was able to complete the I Care Classic 65-mi ride through the hills of Morgan hill, the Bay-to-Breakers in San Francisco, and of course the walk down the street to the local safeway to get groceries. On the positive side, I'm now able to last up to ~ 13 miles jogging at a mild pace, cycling up to 80 miles, which are both personal bests. When the mindset back in 2007 was to quit smoking and get into shape, I didn't think I could achieve this. Wow. It's a great feeling and quite inspiring :)
As far as my health, I've been doing quite well. I eat breakfast on a daily weekday basis, that includes fresh fruit, cottage cheese, oatmeal, and an occasional hard boiled egg-- Lunch has also been kept to a mostly veggie-type of meal, with the occasional burger and outing here and there :)
Technical mumbo-jumbo:
I hate Acer with a passion. I picked up an Acer Aspire NAS awhile back, and didn't find out until after purchase that it did not support true raid-5-- it has a WHS version of "load balancing" which includes a proprietary method of balancing data distribution on the drives in a method called "folder duplication". Ummm yeah sure, that sounds reassuring. Just one question-- How in the heck would I be able to find files if one of the drives blew? Can we say, needle in a haystack? Anyway, so I was migrating data off the NAS when WHS decided to reboot because of an important windows update that needed to restart the system. I mean cmon.... right when I'm performing file copies?? two thumbs down for Windows Home Server (WHS). This sucker is going on craigslist as soon as I'm done.
Work / LIfe:
Vacations rock. Plain and simple. In the time I was working at my company almost 3 years ago, I have not taken vacation longer than 2-3 days. I also realized that I was throwing away days each year after not using them as we max out at a certain limit-- This year, for my health, sanity, and recreation, I have actually scheduled and taken vacation. I always told myself that one day I would love to travel, and this year I'm doing so -- North Carolina, Philippines, Switzerland, and hopefully Australia / New Zealand. Pictures speak a thousand words, and that is what I look to do when on vacation-- Enjoy the sights and sounds of foreign places and capture them in a photo :)
Also, when was the last time you were able to wake up early, watch the sunrise while jogging on a white-sand beach? :)
Tomorrow I'm off to vegas-- Talk to you later!
