hi again everyone.

sorry for the long absence. i promise to be better. lets give a life update:

work has been busy. customer launches are coming up, so we have been going pretty hardcore for most of april. things have slowed down a bit as we have worked out most of the kinks on the software side of things, but the air is still a bit tense. i’ve been doing a lot of testing of drivers, benchmarking, some coding of windows apps, and learning about linux packaging systems. good times all around.
a second intern from byu started with the group a few days ago. he is actually the guy who set me up originally with this gig. its been fun having someone like me around, and we have had a bit of friendly competition going on.. seeing who can get more kudos awards (have i blogged about those yet? they are $25 gift cards we get for doing a good job.. i’ve got about $125 worth of amazon credit right now..), coming up with names for each other (i enjoy calling him intern #2), etc. good times for all.
i have been shaving less lately. its actually gotten down to almost once a week. the one time i do it, it is still quite enjoyable and satisfying, but i save some time during the week.
i am in the elder’s quorum presidency at church. i thought i had escaped that calling back in utah, but it found me again. it keeps me busy, but its been good for me. i have been going out with the missionaries a lot too. it feels nice to be able to do that again after 3 years in mormon-ville…

ok, thats it for major updates. will post more later.
