I’ve decided to update the look and feel of my blog.  This allows me to show all my links along with my content, so woo hoo!

Well, it’s about time for a change. Just never figured it would be caused this way.

JustHost has some great deals for hosting and gives UNLIMITED everything just about.  My domain is currently being transferred from 1and1 to JustHost.  Currently my DNS through 1and1 is pointing to JustHost to handle my new domain hosting.

So far things have been great. Just got my blog uploaded to blog.gilldev.net and will be creating www.gilldev.net to handle my consulting business.

So if you need any help, please contact me and I’ll see what I can do to help.

Thanks,

I’ve decided that I’m going to cut some body fat.  I tried this back in October with success, however it was hard to stick to since my girlfriend wasn’t willing to also try it out.  Well we’ve both made the decision that we need a change in what and the way we eat so we’re both going to take the diet from Tim Ferris – The “Slow Carb” diet – and try to cut some of the extra wait we’ve gained.

Later today I’ll try to post some of the starting details for myself: weight, height, body fat %, etc.

Perhaps a picture as well (how emberassing ; )

Well I’ve been here at IGT for a week and two days.  So far it has been up and down.  At first I was told that I wouldn’t be receiving my computer for a couple weeks, then I got it the second day.  Then I was told that I wouldn’t be receiving my signing bonus until the end of August, then I got it the first Friday after I started!  I was also told I’d be receiving my badge which lets me into the labs and the entrance to the building we’re in on Friday…well I still haven’t received that.  That is mainly due to the fact that they don’t keep track of paper work they have people fill out too well.

That was a big frustration at first.  I was sent a packet of papers to fill out, however since I didn’t have the address of where I would be moving, I had to put down my parents’ address.  That works, but it isn’t quite accurate.  When I got here I then had to fill out a few pages that I already did, but it wasn’t too big a deal.

Outside of the stresses of not receiving things on time, things have been better since I did receive the important things early.  I’ve been working on learning about what it is I was hired for.  I can’t tell too much, however it is the future of IGT, which is a pretty great feeling that I’m on such an important project.  It has been quite boring, frustrating, overwhelming, and interesting since I’ve been here due to everything I have to know.  Most of what I’ve been doing has been dealing with learning about the new system and trying to get it all understood…well there is much more than I was ever expecting.  Hopefully things will sink in soon and I can get onto helping my colleagus out.

Well that’s work stuff.  I’ll post later on how things are outside of here.
