Casa De Kerr - We're In!

We moved into our house last weekend and it looks great. I'm just now blogging about it because we have no TV or internet access in our subdivision yet and work has been crazy to say the least. Alas, I'm blogging now. We closed last Thursday and moved in the next day. The move went rather well. The movers and the fridge were early and nothing was broken. We decided to move the small stuff ourselves which worked out pretty good. The only hiccup in the day was that someone had to be at the apartment between 8:00am and 12:00noon because someone from Grande was coming by to pick up the modem. Of course they never came by! We finished moving everything over by 5:00pm instead of 2:00pm which was the plan. Anyhow, Steph and her mom stayed at the house for the most part unpacking everything that day. Wouldn't you know, the house was 90% unpacked the day we moved! Everything was unpacked by Saturday save my study which I finished on Wednesday. As far as the house, we had a few wrinkles to iron out. We still had some pipes sticking out of our backyard, missing the touch-up kit, cover for the attic, and a few other small things. All in all it was great. The construction manager fixed everything we pointed out and then some. With everything done I can now say with pleasure, "Hey Lucy, I'm home!"

Guys Night Out

My church life group had guys and gals night out last night. It was without a doubt, a lot of fun. We stayed at the Mowrey's parent's house out in Bourne. Mowrey's own a 6k sqft house on top of the hill that looks over pretty much everything. The house is decked out and one could only dream of house sitting for a week. I love the house but I don't think that I could live there. Too much house for Steph and I, even if we have 2 kids! Anyways, Mr. Mowrey is really cool and down to earth guy which is awesome considering most of the people that I've met whom have such a house are arrogant jerks.

Moving on, there was a total of eleven guys including myself. We played Texas No Hold'em and basketball into the wee hours of the morning. In fact the only reason that I'm writing this at 7:22 AM is because I couldn't sleep for four hours. We played a round of poker with no betting to show the new guys and I must admit, it's weird playing with 11 people. After the first round we all bought in for $5 bucks. I got second place loosing with an 8 high strait to a 9 high strait! At least I got $10 bucks for second place. The next round we played I got spanked and broke even for the night. When we move in next week I will be investing in poker chips. It was a lot of fun and we'll definitely have to do it again.

We played b-ball outside where I found a whole new meaning to "don't judge a book by its cover". Kevin is nice guy who is in his early to mid thirties. He's about 5"10' and weighs about a buck fifty. He just had his first kid about 9 months ago and is probably one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I'll be honest, my first impression of him was; nice guy, feel sorry for him if he's ever in a fight because he doesn't stand a chance. Anyhow, Kevin is to quote one of the guys, "A black man trapped in white man's body". Kevin schooled, no owned, no embarrassed everyone out there on the court. He made Kobe Bryant look like a rookie! This guy was driving the lane like no one was there, made all of his outside shots, and just kicked our tails.

All in all guys night out was a blast. I'm looking forward to the next but first I have to move into my house. We'll be closing on the 9th of December and moving in on the 10th!

A Little Odd

Just thought this was a little odd.

1. Blogger is not updating my blog count. Been at 63 for the past 2 months now?!


2. Blogger's spell check marks "Google" as a misspelled word?!


3. Blogger doesn't have a built Google search or just a search utility for a specific account?!

Google Deskbar

I just downloaded the Google Deskbar and the development SDK. I've written the infamous "Hello World" and I'm planning on writing some more plugins here in the near future. The only thing that's a little odd is how you load and unload the plugins. You load them by placing the dll in the plugin directory. Unloading is another story. You're supposed to hit some key sequence to unload all plugins but as soon as you unload them, they are reloaded! Thus making it pretty difficult to update/test a plugin. Maybe its just PEBCAK but then again, there's not a lot of documentation about on the API....

Switching Back And Forth

It seems that we are making the switch again. First it was ASP.Net, then JSP, and now we're doing PHP. I come from a PHP background so its a welcome change but I was actually wanting to go with JSP. I just purchased the Struts book and was ready to start "going to town". Now I'll be "going to town" with PHP. In all honesty though, I'm anticipating another switch back to one or the other by this time next week.
