Toys & Movie

With the advent of the equipment I bought to get the Wi-Fi going. I had to do something about the power situation in my computer corner. I had to buy another power strip. They keep getting better. It has surge protector for all of the 12 power outlets, one for phone, another for cable, and one I have not seen yet, a ethernet surge protector. Another great feture about it has 6 special slots for power transformers. I have re-routed some of my power from my computer corner from other places. Soon I am going to have to redo all the wires in my computer corner, not looking forward to it. It is a horable rats nest, even though I have taken some pain to keep it from becoming so. Did not relize how many electronic toys I had.

Anyways, while I was at Wal-Mart, came across the movie section. Could not resist buying "Message in a Bottle." Great movie, if you have not seen it you should.

Wi-Fi

On Thanksgiving I took my laptop to my Grandparents, who live across the street, and I noticed that I could see my Wireless Network, WirelessFreedom. The connection that I had was intermit. I took my laptop out of courosity into the sowing/computer room. I could get nothing. Sinse then I have tried a few things so my Grandparents could use my internet, and stop using slow dailup. Today I found something that works. In fact, with the special equipment I have, it even worked down the street way on the opisit side of the block. That is quit a distance for 802.11b/g network. Up till now I have not had my network secured, because I didn't think it was worth the hasle, sinse it couldn't go that far. But with it having a block radious, I have secured it. I don't want any loffers on my network.

Wish List

Last year I made a Web Site Wish List using PHP that I hosted from my apartment for my family and friends to use. I enjoyed creating it and sharing it with my friends and family. Sinse then I have moved away from PHP for my personal things (I still program in PHP for Interbank FX) have gone to ASP.NET. I originally moved to ASP.NET to go with the .NET Platform. After studing the ASP.NET platform, I was very impressed what Microsoft did with it. Microsoft has done it again, great inovations. In the past Web programing was different then traditional programing. ASP.NET has bridged the gap. Well, back to my main point. I was hoping to write a WishList web site in ASP.NET, but with everything else I am doing , I am not going to have time to do that. So I found a free Wish List Web Site on the Web. Here is the url, http://www.thethingsiwant.com/SJR3t2/list/WishList/, and my url that is being forwarded to it: http://wishlist.RetzNest.com/. I will be adding items here and there.

Interbank FX

Today Mark told me that he wants me take over all the Expert Advisor Webinars. I have been a bit surprised, I have enjoyed doing them. Maybe it is because I have enjoyed helping people learn programming, or/plus it boosts my ego from people mentioning how they like how I am helping them. One thing that I do that the previous guy was not is typing everying. I did it so people can save a copy of everything I have typed. Most people like this. I need to start saving them myself, because I have had a few clients ask me for copies of sessions when they were not able to join the webinar themselves.

NYUM

Ran into Elder Stadurd at the gym. Accually he reconized me and came over and chatted with me. He told me that Herb Truesdale talks about me every now and then. That good old Herb, I need to call him soon.

Work

I have one client that I do lots of freelance work for. He has beleived in one indicator for a long time. I really did not take notice of it till today. When he showed me how well it works, I was very surprised and impressed. Working on a strategy for him to use only that indicator right now.

Workout

Tyler, my trainer, took measurments today. I was excited to see that I weight 150.5 lbs. My main goal on gaining weight is to get to 155 lbs. I figure that is a good goal because that was my weight all thru High School. Current rate, I think it will be easy to get over that. I gained inches every were. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is that I gained 3 inches on my chest.

I ran out of Musle Milk at a good time. Because I asked my trainer if he wanted me to continue with it, or go with something else. He having to start taking "Cyto Gainer : Lean Muscle Maximizer" instead. He feels it will help me achive my goals faster.

Phone

My phone contract recently expired from the family plan that I was on from an old job. I did some looking around for the what I considered the best cell phone providedr. Well they all have pros and cons. I decided the best for my wants and needs is Sprint. I also got a new nifty phone. I bought PPC-6700 a Windows PDA Phone. One thing that I am excited about it has a vibrater mode. That may seem like a weird thing to be excited about, but this is the first PDA that I have seen that has vibrater mode. Depending were you are, the vibrater mode comes in handy. Check out some of the reviews: CNet, Phone Scoop.

Toys

I went to the store with Matt, he wanted to go to Wal-Mart to get a book shelf. While we were there I saw a good deal on an Electrostorm Ball. I have wanted one of those sinse I was a kid. Now that I have it, I need to find a good spot to keep it. It really makes quit a lot of arcks. If you put your hand on it just right, your finger starts to get very warm.

Movie

I went with a group of friends to watch "Mobsters and Mormons." It started off weird, in fact it looked a bit a home made movie. But was funny. At the end it had a very good point to it. I was plesantly surprised by it. I would watch it again.

Domain

I just bought RetzNest.net to do some testing on a few ideas I have, and won't have to worry about doing anything bad to my domain RetzNest.com . I am looking forward to trying these things out, and I don't have to worry about screwing anything up.

Spent an hour with Helen on the phone again. At first she did not seem much like herself, but after a while she warmed up. She is still sick, but seems to have more hope again.

NYUM

Just got off the phone with Helen Ovenstone, a member from my mission. We chatted for an hour and a half. She has moved to Texas. She was wondering when I was going to go visit her. It would be nice to go see her. If she is really dieing like she thinks she is I will see what I can do.
