Only a few weeks left until the big move to Redmond. An idea was thrown around at the dinner table last night, my cousins might accompany me to Redmond. If they do and help carry the luggage it will make things a lot easier. My parents wont be coming with me. They are very against the idea, I was supposed to become a doctor or something of that sort.

Part of preparing for the move is setting up my computer. I need to format all the crap off of my main system, burn the stuff I need to hold on to to DVD and set up my storage system. The problem with burning to DVD is my laptop has a DVD recorder but my main system doesn't (don't ask). Since I can't transplant the drive itself the plan is to move the files and burn them. This means a lot of walking back and forth to load DVD's into the drive as my laptop needs to stay plugged into the wall or it will die mid burn. While this is all going on, I will be making disc images to burn on my main system.

This is my bright idea for the day (I'm very proud of myself). I will use a remote desktop connection to use my main system to command my laptop to command my main system to transfer the ISO's and burn the images. So I can sit my lazy ass in front of one PC and do it all... At the same time using a second remote connection onto my Linux storage system to grab the files I need to create the ISO's. Yes, I had no organized plan what so ever to maintain any of my data. There has to be an easier way...

On a lighter note, I spent the weekend at a park where volleyball was played. The ball rolled into a nearby lake and someone was convinced to jump in after it. He dove in head first....

Then stood up immediately afterwards, realizing it was only 2 feet deep.
