Being “off-the-road” has its challenges

I will be home for the entire week next week, which is the first time that’s happened this month. Not that I am complaining, but once I get home I have a very long laundry list of items to complete and only 6.5 days to complete it in until I go back on the road. So here’s the short list:

  • Generic stuff that can be done anytime during the week
    • Laundry from the past week
    • Put my bed together at my new home - I have been in this house now for two months, still no real bed
    • Finish unpacking all of the boxes left under the stairs - working on not being a packrat so much of the stuff is bound to get tossed out
    • Put an ad in the paper for a roommate - save money this way
    • Work on the Fedora GI Guide
  • CodeAway Saturday from noon to 6pm - good times
  • UTOSF HackNight Saturday night, 7pm - more good times (gotta get call for papers out)
  • Sleep in all day Sunday - my only real day of rest, but that’s the life I lead, this may lead a little into Monday as well
  • BoardGames on Tuesday night with friends I’ve not seen for a couple months - that’ll be nice
  • Lunch with my friend Tristan on Wednesday afternoon
  • Two meetings Wednesday night at Applebees in Draper
    • Centralized Calendaring among multiple communities - 6p
    • UTOSC Planning Meeting - 8p
  • Two events as well on Thursday I’d like to attend
  • Friday will bring something, but currently, there’s nothing. Maybe I’ll try to keep it free.
  • Oh, and I still have to work on Thursday and Friday, so I guess I’ll work that in somehow as well

Whew! I’m excited to be home though, and am sure this list will grow!

Cheers,

UTOSF HackNight - Tonight: Possible Change of Venue

Well, it appears that I am one of the many victims of Qwest and their lurid line noise issues, thus no DSL for me! Because of this, I’m in the process of scrambling for a new location for our UTOSF HackNight this evening. If anyone who’s coming would like to donate their location, or know of some place central to those in Salt Lake County with free wireless and open all night, let me know. I accept emails at herlo1@gmail or you can twitter me at http://twitter.com/herlo.

If nothing pans out, fear not, I do have a possible alternate location for this event, which I should be able to arrange for by the end of the day as a backup plan. As it stands now, everyone should just arrive at my place @6:30 (instead of 7pm) in Murray and we’ll carpool and caravan as desired.

See you all tonight for an awesome hackfest!

Cheers,

Herlo

I’m Famous! Woohoo!

So for those of you who follow this blog, its not the first time I’ve done shameless self-promotion. However, in this case, its only after the fact that someone else thought I was important.

I want to say thank you to the CodeAway and their organizers (Matthew Reinbold, and others, I’m sure) for putting me on this list. I hope to prove them right and kick some tail in Utah Open Source and around the tech community this year. I’m also glad to see at least a couple of faces I recognize, which means I need to meet the others on this list and get them involved in UTOSF and the UTOSC for sure.
