Turkeys and onward

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Wednesday:
I went to my 8:30AM class and then went home around noon(skipping my 6:00PM class). At home I starting showing my Dad and brother the plans I had for a new bed I plan to build as soon as possible. Pretty uneventful.
Thursday:
Turkey is always good. This year was no exception to that. The meal was [...]

Maths of finance

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

One would call this an experimental post. Right now I am typing this out on my Blackberry while in math class.

GFI MailArchiver
Exchange 2003 Mail Journalling: The GFI product is almost the samething as this feature of Exchange. However, GFI puts its data inside a SQL database.

A new beginning

Friday, November 11th, 2005

This post marks a transition from the days of LiveJournal to a new WordPress blog that I will host myself.
I’ve been fighting the idea of switching to my own blog system for a long time because of the easy of use that LiveJournal offers. This changed when I did some research to setup Andrea’s blog/site. [...]
