Level 5 was an absolute killer today. I hope that it is easier on Monday. Monday is also weigh in day for both of the weightloss programs I am in right now.

I am really frustrated by the fact that I can't seem to get gnome-do to work on my desktop at home. it works on both of my laptops. The only cause I can think of is that it is because the desktop is 64Bit. Either way I will get this working at some point. And most likely piss everyone on twitter off. So basically it's win/win

So the president of Satyam computers quit today. But first he admitted that he's been cooking the books to well done for years. Money quote of the 53.6 billion ruppees on the books 50.4 billion were non existent Nice.

Kicked the stepper up to level 5 about halfway through today. gonna try the whole 30 at 5 tomorrow. I may be in pain as a result.

My Arduino DueMilanova came yesterday! I was pretty happy about that. I have been reading the book "Getting Started With Arduino" and last night I did the standard "Hello World" app. I made a blue LED blink. I made it blink at several different intervals too. I haven't had that much fun with small electronics since I was about 8! Now the hard part is learning how to use the other stuff I got. There's resisitors and wires and a bread board, oh my! I have never been a big electronics geek. So I am sure that there will be many mistakes made along the way. The goal here is to have fun!

I will try to blog a bit this weekend or one night this week about the process I had to follow to get the dev environment up on my linux box. I also plan to set up the ruby-arduino stuff and see if I can get that to work. there is a nifty video here on using ruby with the arduino Here

I also now have a SIP Phone working! Not only that but you can call it through my firewall. the number is AriT93@ekiga.net. It even does video, scary as that is!. Now I just need to get a better webcam to use. Need to find one that works well in linux.

I'm starting to wonder at what age will my children not wake me up at 2:30 AM. It's going to be a long day.

Just wasn't able to get going today. tried on the steppert and the bike but It justm wasn't happening. Maybe tomorrow, that is if we DON'T ALL DIE IN THE ICE STORM OF DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm not sure what's happenning here but maybe it's time to step it up a notch at the gym in the mornings. After watching the finale on the biggest loser last night I'm feeling like kind of a slacker.

I'm blaming the sushi and the hot roastbeef sandwich for the current reader. That should be back down by the weekend.

It was a good weekend. Bean had a hanukah party at sunday school, I made sushi for saturday and sunday dinner. I didn't gain a bunch of weight. All in all a good weekend.

Work out was rough again today. But I finished it. It was nice to see the results on the scale too. Need to stick to proteins and veggies and less carbs.

Workout was pretty rough this morning. I was very drained afterword. Hopefully the energy level will pick up soon.
