This last weekend was one of my last free weekends for the next three weeks. It didn’t turn out too bad.

So Tabby, Courtney, Matt, and I went off to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Beginnings Friday night. Allow me to interject that my expectations were quite low. I was fairly certain that this was going to be boring, and completely un-fun. Fortunatly for me, and those involved, I was wrong. The movie was highly predictable, and no, not in the sense that I know the plot already, but in that it was easily guessed as to what cheap thrill was going to happen next. Despite this fact it was good horror-flickin fun with enough blood, gore, bone-crackin, chain-sawin action to keep me entertained.
Saturday night kept me and a few friends up late with plenty of alcohol, chocolate and gummy bear/sprinkles bras, video games, and of course cheesy movies. Sleepiness didn’t hit me till around 4:30am. And yet somehow, I still managed to get up at 10:00am. I’m tellin ya, it’s my magic hour. Wink

So, going back to my original statement, my next three weekends are booked. This is a little unusual for me, but… hey. This coming weekend, my oldest daughter is having a birthday party. She’s turning seven! Simply unbelievable. I’m getting old… :o Then the following weekend I am going on a family outing kinda thing. Since my family has around six or seven birthdays between the months of August and December, we decided we’d have like one big get-together. Finally the weekend after that is my friend April’s wedding, at which I am filming. Outta be cool. :) Now I just have to get a digital cable so I can capture the video to my laptop.

In the coding side of the universe I’ve been doing a bit of experimentation with TCP client/server development in .NET. This is coming along pretty well. Yes, I do have a reason to be doing so. One of the products I wrote and we use here at my work I am considering turning it into a client/server based application, making a clear seperation between the user UI and the server side functionality. The biggest problem I’m running into at this time is calling a callback delegate that resides on the client from the server. I seem to have the permission part of the issue resolved, but now it is having issues resolving the type from the assembly, or something to that effect. Anyway, I’ll figure it out.

And finally… drum roll please… My laptop is supposed to arrive today!! YES!!!
