Sheep Guarding Llama

Today begins a couple day stretch of, hopefully, catching up on some much needed sleep.  I’ve been barely sleeping for the past week, it has been really rough.  I got a decent night’s sleep last night and then got up and went into the office.

This whole week is looking like it might not be all that busy.  Dan, Warnie and I hit Redneck for lunch.  This was Warnie’s first time there.

I came home and we just had a quiet evening at home.  Liesl got into some trouble, though, for not listening and so she did not get a chance to play her video games tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.

Got to bed at a good time.  Feeling good with all of this extra sleep.  Tomorrow will be a good day.

The SGL site, along with all of the sites that I’ve had hosted on Rackspace, got hacked and we had some malicious stuff injected into the site.  So I did a migration and got the site off of Rackspace and it is now on my own server and much faster and far more secure now (and we have backups too!) so this should be much better.  My apologies to anyone having had issues getting to the site recently.  Everything should be working smoothly now.

Today was a relatively slow day.  Had a bit of crazy early morning work then took the girls up to daycare and got myself into the office for what turned into a very slow day overall.

I took this evening off and did pretty much nothing.

Got actual sleep last night, almost make up sleep.  Eight hours probably.  For most people that is just barely a night of sleep but for me it is way more than I normally manage to get.  I was feeling pretty good today.

This morning we finished watching the old seasons of Arrested Development and by early afternoon were ready to start watching the new season that was commissioned by Netflix.

It took about four episodes of the new Arrested Development before we were able to get into it.  The new season has basically the entire cast of the original back which is really awesome but the format has been changed a bit and it took a lot for us to really get hooked again.  A lot of the feel of the original series is lost and it feels like a real disconnect.  The new series attempts to cover something like seven years of “gap” between the seasons and you feel really lost trying to keep up with how the story is being told.  Once we sat through it, though, we did find that it was really good and the story was coming together so we are really enjoying it now but it took a bit to get to that point.

We are excited for Arrested Development and Netflix as this is the first time that a major network show that was cancelled has managed to be resurrected by an online carrier.  This has a lot of potential to be a game changer in the television media space.

For the first time I got a chance last night to actually get some sleep.  Still very tired today but better than I have been this week.  I decided that today would be a day off from pretty much everything.  So I slept in as much as possible and we then spent a bit of the day getting to nearly the end of the first three seasons of Arrested Development so that we can move on to the new season on Netflix, hopefully tomorrow.

I went out and got Subway for lunch.  It is really handy having a Subway so close.

Liesl and I put in quite a bit of time playing Ankh 2 today.  We had a good time hanging out playing today.

I got to install and play Morrowind just a little bit today.  I’ve been wanting to really get going with this game for years but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

This evening some friends came over and hung out for a while.  So we didn’t end up going to bed until late, but we did get a delivery of rhubarb from New York which I hope to make into a pie.

Had to be up really early this morning because it is non-farm payroll.  So I was up around five thirty and into the office.  I got paged out just after six so my work day started an hour before even intended.  A long day in the making.

It was a busy day but my twelve thirty I was able to head up to Lewisville to meet Dan for lunch as he was heading down to the office.

This evening was busy at work.  I worked until six thirty then ran home and worked on till eight.  A fourteen hour day after a very long week.  Very tired.
