Java One last week

Im back from the JavaOne Convention in San Francisco. It was a great week. I didnt think I had picked up very much detail at all though. But today I was in a meeting with a coworker who was explaining some Java Architecture to a group of other programmers and I knew everything he was talking about! I understood how it all worked together and what I didnt already know easily slide into place for me.

I guess Im finally getting this Java stuff. Time to buckle down and head to Colorado. haha thats just the way my life is.

(ill try to post a few pictures from the convention sometime)

Group Hobby

So last week I took some time to go climbing with some friends. Rock Climbing seems to be our latest 'Group Hobby'. Before this it was tennis. Well Im finally posting because I was just sent a picture that was taken of me while I was 'bouldering' which for you uninitiated means 'climbing without a rope' (you dont go very high without a rope).

I just wonder if this is a foreshadowing of things to come... moving to Boulder and all.

workaholic

When you get to work on Monday morning and you feel disappointed that you didnt work the past two days something is SERIOUSLY wrong.

Im super excited that my family is coming to visit in 2 days. The weird thing is that I find myself discouraged that I wont be able to work late when they are here. Im turning into a monster.

I never thought i'd become addicted to work. Ive always been immune before. Haha oh well there are worse things to spend hours on.

anticipation

Today I feel rather excited. I mean im not jumping up and down excited Im just eagerly anticipating certain rapidly approaching events.

For example tomorrow is 'Cinco de Mayo' which to me equals eating yummy mexican food which I just happen to love.

Then next week my parents and sister are coming to visit. Its the first time my parents have visited me here in Orlando so Im stoked about that. Let the good times roll.

Immediately following that I am going to San Francisco for a Java conference. I love that city and so Im looking forward to visiting, and several Orlando friends are coming too so I get to show them around the city. yay!

After that I enter the 'just waiting to move to Colorado time' since I still dont have a final release date set yet.

All in all its good stuff.

Walker Wedding

Since it appears I havent posted since Easter (has it really been that long?) I guess I can talk about anything thats happened since then. And the only thing other than working long hours that has taken place is my trip to California for the Walker Wedding. It was a really nice wedding and I had a blast. It was also fun to catch up with alot of Livermore people. Yay!

Congratulations Derek and Amy. Enjoy your portable pyrex.
