Life gets interesting when you are juggling a bunch of things and events just happen around you in a random fashion.

• Writing training material for the LPI 101 exam preparation and presenting it on Monday nights.
• There are at least 5 local usergroups that I am a member of which I go to meetings during the month and a few international ones that I try to attend the IRC chats for
• There is the day job which keeps me busy writing papers and documentation as well as trying to squeeze in new methodologies and testing
• Rebuild of my home environment (which always take a back burner), although I managed to upgrade my two macs last week, so I can get some videos finished and the audio sessions from BSDCan finished. The web server is being replaced next with a machine that is no faster, but it has the benefit of HotSwap SCSI disks.
• Six technical magazines/month to read, as well as the one or two O’Reilly books I manage to get every month.
• Reading for pleasure, latest was Kim Stanley Robinson’s “50 Degrees Below” - part 2 of a climate change trilogy - there are five or six novels/month
• A wedding to attend this month
• Just got my deck completed, now it needs treatment/stain and furniture (10 years in the making) and worth every penny paid to get it done. (I’m a hopeless carpenter)
• Filling out proposals (read government grids) for contract work
• Locating and reading documentation of performing TRAs and SOSs in an approved manner for the RCMP/Federal Government (that’s where the money is right now)
• Arguing with Adobe about my invalid serial number (8 days and counting)
• Contemplating volunteering for a few things with the local computer charity (have to consider my time)
• Quality time with my family (has to take priority)
• Plan, design and mock up the plan for my home office and my wife’s project room (lots of room in the basement, just need to get a few walls and a nice floor in place and lots of power) also need to figure out where the computer racks will reside.
• Gut basement again (get rid of 50% of what is down there). I figure a 15 cubic meter dumpster will do it (better that the 25 cubic meters last time).

Now I need to look at September…
