Well, April Fool's Day is over, thank god. For a person such as myself, and many others in the technology-interested community, this day usually sucks. You cannot trust anything, albeit, some things are blatent and funny, others are just confusing. In example, Google's GMail... it apparently IS real, and Google has released a new release claiming the press release of April 1st was a coincidence/oversight. Do we REALLY know yet? No. Hopefully it's true, that would be cool for searching e-mail && having a single point of failure! (Hehe, I would definitly back up my e-mail from that massive thing, can you imagine how many people will have accounts!).

Today I won a Cisco 2501 router on EBay. My reasoning to purchase this router has multiple edges. Foremost, I really would like to "upgrade" my network. I feel that this is a fair start, as anything from Cisco is pretty neat, but a nice router would be a cool replacement for my overworked server. Secondly, I have taken three semesters of CCNA training, have both large hardcovered books covering all four semesters, and my coursework that I did during. This is a lot of investment that is kind of lingering since I decided to not continue with the CCNA program.

I totally finished one of my three papers last night, and went and highlighted all of my evidence for my second paper tonight. I think I have a really good thesis and valid evidence to accurately relate back to it. I am just really itching to get these last two papers done so my mind can relax some.

And finally, NOTACON (NOTACON) is fastly approaching! I think the prizes I have lined up will make some attendees happy, some of the volunteers/core are also contributing aside from what has been donated. This event is going to be fun, no no, it is fun. All future definitions of fun will have to reference NOTACON in order to accurately portray what fun is.
