Critter’s Krib

Hey bud, how’s it going?

*shrug* One day at a time, I guess. I haven’t written much due to the fact that one person in the family has been ill. Talon became sick just as Christmas vacation started. He was pretty ill for a couple of days, but then he’s been pretty lethargic and tired ever since.

I took him to the doctors the other day and they did some blood work. One of “his lines” was elevated. They drew more blood to send off to be tested for mono. I guess we’ll find out Tuesday, but he’s been doing better. It is just possible he was totally wiped out by the virus.

For New Year’s, we traveled to Wilmington to stay with a mate of mine and his family. It was a /really/really/ fun trip. It was nice to get away from reality for a while. We (all of us) ate 3 bushels of steamed oysters. I was having flashbacks to when I worked at Crabby Bill’s while I shucked them. Talon was able to stay up with everyone and welcome in the new year, but he crashed out shortly afterwards. The majority of us all ended up staying up until 4am. I’m too old for that shit LOL. Especially when I wake up early regardless of when I crash out. Needless to say, 8am came around rather quickly. It was a good time though. I think we all had a blast.

It is a shame our visits to the beach are so far in between, but hopefully we can change that.

Work has been so/so, nothing too exciting, nothing too boring

I have a couple of personal projects I have been working on. I might have mentioned them before, but I cannot for the life of me remember, and I am feeling too lazy to have a gander and see.

Project #1 is an AIR implementation for Seesmic. Seesmic is still very much in pre-alpha, and things will definitely evolve more as it goes along. I will have a ton of changes to make to my app, but that’s ok, it will keep me busy. www.seesmicAIR.com 

Project #2 is another Seesmic project. There are members on Seesmic from all over the world. A few weeks ago we had a discussion on Seesmic about the general lack of geographical knowledge of the world. *wheels spinning*  I was probably on the crapper when the idea hit (I do my best thinking there), why not have the Seesmic users do a video and explain a little bit about where they live? I made a post on Seesmic explaining what I wanted to do, and the response has been great. I do my best to keep the thread bumped up daily so that new users can see it as well. I have also had great support (on both projects) from the Seemic team. Loic Le Meur (founder of Seesmic), even wrote a post on his blog in English and French. You can view the replies on www.seesmicworldprject.com

Anyway, that’s about as good as a catch up from me as you are going to get today. I am sick as hell.
