Spring Break, A Little Late
Ya - I’ve been lazy about posting here lately, but I just thought I would drop a quick update to show some activity.
Last week was Spring Break for my local area and I was initially planning on leaving on a short vacation out to the lake to enjoy the warm weather, but I skipped it in favor of getting some work done. With a recent death in the family this week, that all changed because I had to head down to Sierra Vista, AZ (aka Sorry Vista - a boring as hell town) and watch my parents house for 4-5 days, which is now a impromptu vacation. Time to get caught up on work without any distractions.
And of course, what is a vacation without getting any work done. In lue of all of that, we’re moving forward on our co-location up in Phoenix, moving equipment from Tucson, and hopefully acquiring some office space in downtown Phoenix (400-500 square feet) - we’ll see if that all happens in due timing.
Anyways, over the past two weeks I’ve just been doing quiet a bit of development, clean up, re-organizing my backup solution (for our data and customer data), fixing our graphing system. And of course, still pushing forward with my legal bullshit dealing with my former employer, as time goes on it gets more and more exciting.
For those of you in the Phoenix metro area, or for that matter, any person that has ever been to Scottsdale, might appreciate the following website:
ScottsdaleSucks.com
Pretty humorous, considering it appears to be fairly true and worth taking a look at if you have time. Basically the guy (a best selling author) lived in Scottsdale for quiet some time, and got sick of the unbelievable arrogance, fakeness, and poor driving that all plaques the town of Scottsdale. I’m not to big of a fan mainly because of their bullshit Freeway Traffic Cameras that they use to ticket people on the 101 freeway (which they don’t even maintain, the state does).
And of course, here’s a few great blog posts from blogs I frequent on a nearly daily basis:

DanGrossman.info - Whoa. Authorize.Net has a reoccuring billing API?
Dan Grossman is a pretty interesting guy and at first when reading his blog, thought he projected a huge sense of arrogance which I think is pretty damn annoying (like TylerCruz.com), but the guy is super-intelligent, appears to know what he’s talking about and of course, always has a sensible outlook on things. He’s got several decent websites and a pretty active blog.
None the less, when I get back to Phoenix this weekend I’ll be launching one of our new sites, enjoying the weather before it gets too damn hot (it’s around 85F now, but in less than a month it will be around 105F) and hopefully taking care of the car situation, although at this point that is at the bottom of my agenda.
Anyways, hope everyone has a outstanding weekend, take care and good luck.
