El Paso Work Trip

Nathan — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 02:38:55 +0000

Here are a few pictures from my last trip to El Paso for work. Yes those are real coyotes! They came and ate scraps outside of the window at this steak restaurant. I’ll be going back in a few weeks. Hope to go to Roswell NM, and Carlsbad Caverns.

Hawaii Trip 2009

Nathan — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 02:30:07 +0000

I went on a work trip to Hawaii in the middle of November. We were on Kauai, which is very small and very old. Not much to do there, but I guess I wasn’t there for vacation so what can I expect. Here are some pictures from the island.

Israel and NYC Pics

Nathan — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:15:59 +0000

Last month I had to go on a business trip to Israel. On my way back I had an 8hr layover at JFK and jumped a taxi into the city.

Israel was a pretty cool place to visit. Chicks are fine, and out number the guys by like 3 to 1. The hotel I stayed in was right on the beach and the Mediterranean Sea was beautiful. One day I got to go on a tour around the Sea of Galilee and some other Holy places. Other than being there on a business trip it was a pretty cool place to go.

So I only got to spend about 4hrs in NYC but it was awesome to see. I walked around Time Square most of that time, then made my way to 5th Ave. Found lots of cool places that I have only heard about on TV. I can’t wait to go back sometime and spend more time.

New Headphones

Nathan — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 21:41:20 +0000

I listen to music a lot at work. I have an extra long 3.5mm extension cable, this lets me work on both my computer while still listening to music. I can’t have my iPod, so I got a mp3 CD player. I also have rechargeable batteries for it. So basically my cubicle is all setup for nonstop listening to music. But recently I have noticed that my iPod earbuds have been starting to hurt my ears. Anyways I would like to know your opinion on some new headphones. Do you like Over the Ear or On the Ear, and which headphones would you recommend for <$50.

Nathan — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 18:20:06 +0000

Some great stuff today. The Interweb just keeps getting better. Also check out Strages’ Quickies he might have something useful there. Have a great weekend, and see you all back here again on Monday.

Digg 3.0 is coming Monday. This looks to be a great update to the ever so popular social news site digg.com If you notice to the right of my site, you will see I use digg a lot and have my feeds up.
Yay we can now have amateur porn hot lines. Would that just be swell.
So you want a PSP mod chip, well here you go, check your umd drive first, then order away. Let me know if it all works out.
Fun with Google.
Here you go, any professional website that names a section Business 2.0 should be shot, and here is proof. 10 people that don’t matter. Are the “Business 2.0 Magazine staff” fucktards or what. I want you to look at this list and tell me that these people don’t matter. CNNmoney.com and the “Business 2.0 Magazine staff” why don’t you go fuck your self. Thank you very much.
Yay for movie critics
What did I say, the girl lied, she said she was 15. Ok here is the thing. Does the 19 year old really think he is going to get out of this my saying, but Judge I didn’t know she was 14 her profile said she was 15 and single. Dude the age of consent is in Texas is 17…guess what “YOU ARE FUCKED!!!”

Its over!

Nathan — Thu, 04 May 2006 15:19:05 +0000

There goes another semester. Its lost to the times, although I believe some of that time will have to be repeated. I really need to stop doing that. I hate living at home, and I really think that is one of my biggest problems. When I get home and try to work on something, I always get interrupted. Its just not a good environment for me to learn. I don’t know maybe this summer I can try to make a change. Maybe with the new job, I can afford leave and live on my own, in town somewhere. That would be great. But there is always that problem with my parents, and how they don’t what to let me go. I can just see it now “you can move out, you cant afford it, you won’t go back to school” I went through this at the end of last semester. Then I just fell back into the same old life. I can’t stand it anymore.

SSH Tunnel

Nathan — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 22:34:32 +0000

So I finally got a SSH Tunnel set up and working. So everything that goes through the browser is encrypted. With this new job, I think they may actually watch the network, and I don’t like the idea of my traffic being watched. So now they cant see it…he he Well anyway, it’s off to the 2600 meeting tonight, then to the anti-V-day/housewarming party over at Honey’s, Cherry’s and Mog’s Should be fun, well at least I hope so. This will be the first time in a while I’m going to go out and not care what Lauren is doing for the night. Although we did spend a little time together today. It was weird cause, everything was the same when we used to hang out, except we didn’t touch each other, like couples do. So maybe we’re cool and can hang out and stuff. Well back to work.

Day 2

Nathan — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 21:45:22 +0000

So I’m at work. Yep here at work, reading over some paperwork. There is going to be a lot of reading in this job. Everything has to be documented, and signed and looked at and stamped in blood…lol..OK that last one was a little over the top. But really lots of reading and stuff. I saw Lauren today, and it was OK, we talked for a second, then off I went. It was a little weird, but after I left, I was OK. You know breaking up and getting a new job, all in a couple of days, was really a good way to start over. Going to work kept my mind off her yesterday, and I actually got a full night sleep. Breaking up is hard to do, but whats even harder is loosing the friendship that we had. I hope we can still keep that. Maybe in time. Mean while I’m trying to move on, I’m looking for myspace to help with that, yes i hate it, but all the girls don’t…lol…so until next time keep on keepin’ on!

P.s I have my del.icio.us links up, and running off my server

Times Change for better or worse, I guess we’ll see.

Nathan — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 15:59:52 +0000

Well lets see where to start, yesterday was my last day at Ameri-tel, and my last day with Lauren. What a way to end a week, quite and break up. The quiting was not the bad, it actually went over well, and today I start my new job, I am now a software engineer. What was hard was the breaking up. After over a year together it’s hard. I don’t want to be alone, but I know its better for both of us. Now she can be the sorority girl she longs to be. I think thats the main problem she found out that she was not the person she thought she was. She wants to party, and hang out till all hours of the night. As for me, I’m not like that, I can party, I can stay out late, but its not me. I just hope she stays safe, and if we are meant to be together than things will fall in place that way. Right now we are taking time, we’re not forgetting about what we had, how could we? We are just taking some time. Time and space…….

Interview #2

Nathan — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 00:27:45 +0000

So today I reveived another call from a company that I had an interview with last week. I don’t think I should say the name of the company. Lets just say that this is not a job but a career. It will be a good job money wise and learning wise. That is what I’m looking for, a job that I actually learn something. I know it may sound weird, but don’t you just feel like your not doing anything with you life if you don’t learn something. I’m hoping that interview #2 will be the start of a good job.
