Busy May

May is almost over and I’m not sure where it went. Work has been going ok, the UT Libraries version of the new UT web templates should be ready in the next couple of weeks. Then the long and probably painful process of converting the libraries over to the new templates can begin.

On a personal note, I spent most of May getting the family finances in order. Cashed in some stock and paid off all our credit card debt, which was a sizable sum. Next on the agenda is looking at buying or building a house. Building on the land we have now is one option, or we may sell our current place and move a bit closer to work.

Anybody want to buy a Mac mini or a couple of Pentium 4 Windows XP machines? The only computer we ever turn on at home anymore is the laptop, so I’m on a mission to get rid of our desktop machines and reclaim some cash.

But for now we’ll be taking a break and headed to Arkansas for Memorial Day. Should be a nice change of pace.

    I’d offer to take one of your XPs if you weren’t so far out =p Need something cheapish to get the stuff off my old drive after the motherboard crapped out, and it won’t fit my new one.

    For what, $20? =p I guess if it was just the core system, I really don’t need another monitor or extra peripherals and so on.

    True just the system itself is pretty heavy.

    Well, I suppose your asking price would have to determine it. E-mail could prolly work better from here out, in any event ;)
