Found a winner! February 19, 2008

Posted by Mike in General, Life, Work.

After looking at only a couple houses, I found the winner.  In fact, it looks almost identical to my grandparents old house (before they moved).  I am being lazy - I will upload pictures later.

Once again, I am keeping the information generic due to assholes that are trying to screw up accounts (any online account that I have, there has been a spike in people requesting the password, login information).  To the people that do it, I laugh at your stupidity.  In most of the email requests, it shows the IP address.  Since I know where the two people that would most likely do this, and have seen both of their IP addresses before, I am recognizing the numbers.  Dumb fuckers - I told you if you don’t stop, I would involve the police.  I have already filed a report, and with any additional attacks, I will release more information to the police.  Keep playing your fucking games, and we’ll see who laughs last :D

Anyway… (more…)

Wow, its been a long time since I have updated…

I came home the other day, and found out that one of our family friends needed some internet help. They own a business and wanted to start selling items online. So, I am currently working on getting that set up. Its a good feeling to be able to work on a website that has over 90,000 website visitors per month. It will be awesome when it is all done.

Also, things have finally been slowing down at work. My huge project has finally been delivered, and another one is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday.

On Saturday, I went to look at a condo. Price was really low, but it was a repossession or a foreclosure. See some issues behind the cut. I dont think that one is for me. I am working with my realtor and my morgage company so that I can find that special place. Already locked in a 5.375% mortgage interest rate. One of the best rates that I have ever seen. I am keeping my eye out, and will post the finalists here :)

oOo - Repo condo pics here!!! (more…)

Back Home December 1, 2007

Well, I made it back home. I had a great time. Although, I didn’t win the Wheel of Winners contest at The Hilton, I did walk away a winner. There is a small casino on the strip called Casino Royale. I happened to stop in and see what kind of games they had. For the first time, I decided to try some table games. I sat down at Blackjack. I decided to play $100, and after about 1 hour, I walked away with $3,000. Not bad. So, I still ended up a winner.

The weather was perfect. It started to rain on Friday, but that’s when I came home.

I am currently copying my photos to my computer, and will upload them soon. :D

Vacation, Finally… November 23, 2007

Well, it took me 11 months, but I am finally able to use the rest of my vacation.  I am going to go to Vegas next week.  I can’t wait - it should be a blast!

I go back to work in December for 2 days, then traveling back to Montana to go to a client site.  I am there for 3 days, and then come back to work.  I work another 3 days, and then I have the rest of December off as vacation.  I am excited, and a little concerned.  The major project I have been working on for the past 7 months is finally coming to a close, and everything is going to come together when I am gone.  In a way, I am glad because I don’t have to worry about it anymore.  But, the major contacts are concerned because someone else will be taking over during my vacation.  It will work out - it always does.  However, there might be some mistakes made that would not happen if I was there.

One project comes to a close, and another one starts up.  Hopefully, it won’t be as challenging as this one.  This one definitely stretched me to my limits. (more…)

TCG Codes and a New Casino :) September 29, 2007

I spent some time today redeeming more Neopet TCG codes.  Click on the tab above to take a look and see what I have won so far :-D

When I went down to the casino this week, I realized that the new MGM Grand Casino is almost ready to open. Behind the cut are some pictures that I took with my phone (yes, I know that they are crappy - what do you expect with cell phone pictures???)

I have been civil, and left you alone. Why can’t you do the same thing?

This will be your only warning…

Stay the fuck out of my personal life. If you continue your actions, I will involve the police, and I WILL follow through and press charges.

Yay, Photos! September 24, 2007

I have been working on this one for a while…

On the top, select Photos, and click on the link.  Currently, I am only allowing people to view the pictures.  This means no new user registrations.  I might rethink this in the future, but for right now, this is how it will be.  Take a look at the photos and let me know what you think.  (This is much better than the Flickr sidebar widget :P)

Another new page September 3, 2007

Boy, I have been busy :)

I created another page where I listed several links to Neopets related topics.  Check it out on the top row of tabs - “Handy Neopet Links.”  If you click on any of the links, and they are the standard Neopets Petpage, leave a message here, and I will remove them.  Also, if there are any that you think should be listed there, leave a message, and I will check into it.  Everytime I come across a new page that I think other people can benefit from, I will add it to that page.

Also, don’t forget to visit my updated “About Me” page :)

Well,

I did it.  I finally decided to post an update of my past 3 years.  You can find it in the About Me tab located above.

Since you cannot comment on that page, feel free to leave any comments on this post related to the newly added page :)
