Anniversary

Well, it's been the greatest thirteen years (16 really, counting dating and living together) of my life.  Beyond a shadow of any doubt.  Mrs. H is the greatest wife in the whole world!  Don't expect to see me, talk to me, or anything else today or tonight.  Tonight's all about me and my baby.

To Tina:

You, thirteen years ago today made me the happiest man in the world.  With every year that passes, that happiness grows stronger and stronger.  Thank you for loving me so much.  I hope you always know that I love you more than I could ever say, type, or express in any way.  You are my life, and I thank you, God, so much for letting this wonderful woman come into my life.  I give You the praise for leading us to each other.  Thank you, Father.

God bless and geek on!

I ask you...how kewl is my wife?

Gotta tell you guys this.  My darling wife, whom I love more than I could ever express in mere words, has done the ultimate in uber...epic....kewl wife-ness!  Our anniversary is Monday, the 25th, and for our anniversary she bought me the Logitech G500 gaming mouse!  Waaaayy awesome!  If you don't have one...get one.  Best mouse I have ever used, especially while gaming.  Wait...there's more.  This wonderful woman, who has unbelievably put up with me for thirteen years of marriage (16 total), and who doesn't give half a hoot about Guild Wars, my online game of choice, has also given me a piece of Guild Wars 2 artwork, and is allowing me to display it in our home!!!!  In my computer room/office, of course, but still.  This thing is huge.  It's in nine pieces, that make one big picture.  It rocks!  Here's what it looks like, 'cause I haven't gotten it yet...lol.


This will be on my wall (in nine separate pictures that make one large picture)!!!  Again, I ask you, how kewl is my wife?  Extremely!  Thank you, baby.  I love you!

In other news, I am now only four missions away from Guardian of Cantha title, thanks to a three mission gauntlet run by my buddy Shane and myself last night.  Thanks, Shane, for the help!  After those four, I'll be off to Tyria for the Guardian title there, and thus achieve Legendary Guardian!

God bless, geek on, and Guild Wars 2....hurry up already!  LOL

workin...workin...workin...and something new to me

Man...long day.  Dock, sorry I missed your call.  Will try to call you back maybe Friday.  Finally got home from work (day was horrid and awful) to my wonderful, beautiful wife, who made me feel better just by looking at her smiling face.  She also let me gripe and moan about my day, so thank you, baby.  I love you more than anything on this earth.  Working on a general clean-up/speed up job for a client.  Folks, please.  If you have your computer password-protected, that's great...but if you don't think it's too much trouble...how about giving the tech working on it the bloody password?!?!  Can we say helpful?  I knew we could.  But as I always say, there's more than one way to skin a cat.  Anyone ever used Ophcrack?  Nice stuff.  Had the password in question in a minute or so...after I downloaded the LiveCD version and burned the .iso image to a DVD, that is.  Didn't blank it, either, just told me what it was.  Can we say helpful again?  Knew you could.

Hey, on a different note, our website, SwinTech Designs, is fast approaching 10,000 hits!  This is apparently due to my efforts to get it listed in web directories, so to create backlinks, which in turn (with the more backlinks you have) drives your site higher up the search engine ladder.  I aspire to be on the first page of all my listed keywords, as well as for "SwinTech" itself...but such things take time, an SEO (search engine optimization) company, or a lot of effort on my part...and even if you don't pay an SEO company to do it for you, some directories you must pay to be listed, especially if you want a "featured listing."  Learning all this from research as I go.  So, to my friends, guildmates, associates, and colleagues, I make a humble request:  Google the site...a lot...and if you have time to visit, I do have a couple of new offerings for view in LAN Party Boxes.  It would take too much of anyone's time to ask for keyword searches and paging down and down trying to find the site and click on it, so unless you just have nothing better to do than search for things like "custom pcs," "gaming pcs," and such related terms, then looking till you find SwinTech Designs, and clicking on it...don't.  Too much to ask of anyone.  I'll keep plugging away with web directories, and asking other sites to link to mine.  But please, feel free to Google it as much as you can stand...lol!

God bless and geek on!
