Sorry for the lack of updates...

It's been a busy month since I last posted and I just wanted to write something today. Here's an update of what I have been up to:

• The new machine really hauls and as I Twittered, I actually upgraded to Hardy Heron already and I haven't looked back. The sound still isn't 100% and I could never really get Wine to work properly, but I guess that's why I can either dual-boot it or bring up the XP partition in VMWare Server under Ubuntu. Overall, I'm realy impressed with the strides that Ubuntu has made.
• The Wii should be back today and I'm anxious to check out all the games that I borrowed from a friend. The girls have actually missed it and it's flashing blue light, next to the den television.
• Believe it or not, the outside cleanup is almost done and it 's not even May yet! Traditionally, we don't do it until the middle of May, but with the nice weather, I couldn't resist - particularly after being recharged after our trip to Florida over Easter break. Today I have a bunch of plantings to take care of in the yard and some trees to trim. After that, it's mulch time!

Well, that's about it for now. I'll write more later and expand on some of my updates above...
