Well, hopefully some of you may have noticed, but this blog has been down for quite some time. I had a slight power supply failure in my home server and after exporing all the options (to replace the original would have been about $80!), I decided for a slightly frankenstein looking contraption with a powersupply…

Went to the Microsoft Worldwide Partner conference over the weekend in Toronto. Was a fairly good event, although I didn’t get nearly as much out of it as I did last year. I think there were several factors that contributed to this: this was the 2nd year I’ve gone, so there wasn’t as much new…

Been back at work for a few weeks now. My collar bone is still broken and it’s really starting to become a serious inconvinience. Not much pain, but whenever I “forget” and lift more than about 5 pounds, it reminds me. My stitches have healed up nicely, although of course there are two nice scars.…

Well, this will be the first non-injury related post in almost a month. We left for vacation last Saturday and have enjoyed the last few days in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The drive here was great in the new truck…the kids really seemed to enjoy the DVD player. The house is ultra-cool. Swimming…

Got my stitches out yesterday. After having had both staples and stitiches to close up wounds, I have to say that neither are very pleasant. Maybe it was the location, but the stitches in my foot were almost as painful to remove as they were to put it…of course I have to remember that when…

Well its taken almost two weeks, but I’m finally starting to do some of the things I used to do. Still can’t pick up the kids (or wrestle 🙁 ), but I am able to go out and get sround reasonably well. The thing thats giving me the most trouble now is something I didn’t…

Tried to get in some work yesterday. Spent all day sitting upright and as a result my left leg was painfully swollen at the end of the day. It really was quite grotesque if I do say so myself. It’s better this morning, but I learned my lesson (for a day or two anyway): I’ve…

Went to my second doctor’s visit today (so little happened at the first, that I didn’t even bother to blog about it). Some good news: no infections in my sutures and my bones seem to be setting properly. Still no definitive word on recovery time, but it looks like it’ll be 3-4 weeks before I…

The doctor that was so insistent that I have a brace for my dislocated shoulder was now saying that was the least of my problems as soon as I told her that with both my arms bound up, I has no leverage to get up or sit down. She really wanted to get me out…
