Hey peeps! I haven't been on SG much lately or anywhere else online for that matter. Been super busy!
Quick recap of the last month or so:
My Blue Fronted Amazon passed away from liver disease. He was only 12 and they are supposed to live for 60 - 80 years! :'-(
We are looking into adopting a baby Blue Fronted Amazon next month so that we can raise it properly instead of dealing with a bird that's malnutritioned from morons that feed parrots nothing but seed!!!
I somehow passed both of my summer classes even though I probably should have failed the math class (I failed 2 of 4 quizes and got a "C" on 2 of 5 exams.) I think they just passed me to get rid of me!
Went camping last weekend. It was hot and sticky. Came home a day early.
I finally hooked up the Bluray/surround sound player/receiver up to the Internet (for netflix) after owning it for like a year... and on a related note have been watching ST
S9 and ST:Voyager like crazy. 
I did a data recovery job on a hard drive that had been hit by a massive power surge from a large industrial saw. The surge was so massive that it took out the power companies transformer for the whole block/area. I had a custom circuit board made for the drive and it literally took 60-62 days with speeds varying between 1 byte/sec to 5mb/s (which is why it took so long) but I was able to recover approximately 70% of the data on the drive. Not too bad even for me!
I switched the desktop computer from Gnome2 to XFCE4 (still running Gentoo Linux) and while it's a step backwards from Gnome2 it is definitely better than Gnome3.
Still shaking my head in disgust over the Windows 8 UI. WTF, over!
and life goes on.......
