Phew!
I just finished a majority of the new development on this large project that I've been doing for work. Just in time for my 4 day vacation. Woohoo!
I've been pushing up against this deadline (after sorta missing the first one. Oops) all week and I didn't know if I was going to be able to make it. But I spent pretty much all last night working on finishing up one section of the project at home and all day today getting the rest done...and it's done. Major stress level decrease.
The stress levels weren't helped at all though by the fact that the host of my personal website nopurpose.org was hacked Wednesday evening. This wouldn't be a big deal, since I don't really use the website for anything critical, except that I DO use the e-mail as my main account. So I've been without reliable e-mail for the past couple days.
I eventually decided I was going to jump ship to a different (more reliable) host that I've been using for several years already. And that I was going to move my domain's e-mail over to Google Apps. So now my main e-mail address is powered by Gmail pretty much. It's working pretty well so far. I've had it set up for 4-5 hours. It's pretty neat having gmail be your webmail interface.
Which clears the deck for a relaxing little vacation. My friends and I are going to go out to Whetstone Gulf state park on Monday. Whetstone is the source of a lot of childhood memories for me since my family went up there camping fairly often when I was younger. It's been a VERY long time since I've been there. But we're going up Monday to do some hiking and some grilling of steaks for dinner. Looking forward to that a lot. Also some other activities planned, but I've been looking forward to the trip to the park so much that the other stuff has slipped my mind...
I'll be sure to post some pictures from the trip up here later in the week.
EDIT: Oh, maintenance situation update. We got our oven fixed, thankfully. The leak situation still remains, but they're putting gutters up this weekend...so they say. I'll believe it when I see it, of course.
