Today was one of those quite rare instances where I am feeling overwhelmed. Not that is anything I can\'t handle, but I am currently wading through a big load of java code, (and learning alot I must say), and handling a bunch of little one-off requests that seems to find there way to me, (usually at the busiest moments of the day).

However, I look at it in a good way...it means I am needed. Back when I worked at CUNA, I felt pretty much useless. I didn\'t fit in there anyway, with all of my Microsoft bashing and pro open-source sermons. God forbid CUNA decide they wanna save a little bit of mony in the long run...but I digress.

I have more pictures of Olivia coming, but I have to get them off of my camera first.

Finally, those of you with a firewall that you can monitor, (not sure if Zone Alarm will pick it up...), do me a favor: visit Wil Wheaton\'s blog and keep an eye on your firewall. Let me know if you get any portscan-type activity while visiting his site. I was browsing it the other day and noticed alot of packets hitting many different ports all from AntiWar.com. The minute I left his site, the packets stopped coming in. I did email him, but never heard back, but what do you expect, he\'s a busy man with a popular site.

For those of you not in the know, Wil Wheaton played \"Wesley Crusher\" on Star Trek TNG. I was never a really huge fan of the show, but enjoy watching now and then. He also starred in the movie Stand By Me. He has since turned \"geek\" and has his own blog which I frequent every now and then, but seems to be somewhat popular.

Anyhow, here\'s to ya...
