So Princess Jen has a new throne, she will now be ruling a different department and function at Marshall Fields. Our good friend Emily is now (hopefully) one of Jen’s loyal subjects. I’m sure she’ll find great success in her endeavour as she has a way of doing so with everything. Look how good she did on landing a sweet dude like me. So, give Jen a pat on the back with a “good job” or a “all those hours were worth it now” and Emily, if you need someone to confide in, let me know. I’ve been getting ruled for almost a year now.

Thanks to my #1 Negard for getting me hooked on ClarkConnect Software. This software is the easiest to configure and the home edition is free, a price nobody can argue with. What is ClarkConnect you say? It’s a Linux (snort!) distribution that is fairly easy to install, it’s primary purpose is to set up a gateway/server for home or office use. It’s fairly robust and is just chocked full of great features. It has a stateful firewall, squid transparent web caching (very useful to conserve bandwidth) and it allows easy setup for Web, FTP, SSH, PHP, MySQL, Mail and all other sorts of goodies. It also allows easy setup for Windows File and Printer sharing, the unfortate but widely used method for sharing files across networked computers. I’m probably going to be implimenting a ClarkConnect solution to tackle a couple of our needs on the road. Thanks Jason.

So last night my friends through a “semi-surprise” going away party for me. I say semi, because my roomate inadvertently alerted me to the party. That having been done, I was still truly surprised. My wonderful girlfriend Jen and Monkey (Eric) set up the majority of it. They enlisted the help of another close friend of mine from college, Kasey to help rack up the surprises. The first surprise was that my college friends were there. Since I hadn’t been privy to any knowledge or planning, that was 2 points for Jen and Eric.
