Wow! I did not realize how long it has been since I posted... My weight is about the same as I posted last time. Not because I didn't lose anymore weight, but because I have gained some back! This is the biggest reason why I haven't been posting,...

Sorry for the long gap in time, but many other pressing issues came up, not the least of which were medical in nature... But, back to the topic at hand… I finally managed to get the financing for the public IPv6 address space taken care of at work...

I mentioned that the TR hub in my network had a story behind it... Well, here it is. My network is made up of castoffs and other people's junk, so I don't have the most up-to-date hardware to run things on (like the TR hub :). Well I was trying to install...

I created two presentations for work. I've included an edited version of them here... A technical overview and a short management presentation . Feel free to peruse them....

Haven't posted for a while, been busy with other more pressing issues... I finally had a bit of time to figure out one of the little niggling details that I wasn't able to get around to earlier on. PTR records for v6. Unfortunately, PTR records are a...

I set up a remote connection over a IPv4 VPN connection to a remote lab. It took quite a bit of tinkering to get things to work correctly, so I figured I'd share the effort in case somebody else tries to do it. I have a connection with my work lab set...

I have a fairly extensive lab that I built to help me simulate a small business environment. I've rebuilt it so many times that I don't even remember the count. The network lately has been, more or less, stable as far as the systems themselves go, but...

I've known about IPv6 in the back of my mind for quite some time. Every now and again I'd go out and take a look at the various sites and blogs to get an idea of where v6 stood in the world of IT, but I never spent much energy on it. Lately, I've been...

As I said in my las post, someone who had been reading my blog wrote to tell me of her sister who passed away due to complications from surgery. I wanted to share this with you all, so that everyone understands it does not always go perfectly. One thing...

Well, I didn't realize it had been this long since I had posted. Sorry to all of you who had been trying to follow along. We have had some major family issues come up, and blogging just hasn't found its way into my schedule lately. Well, first off - I...

Took a brief moment to upload some pictures... have to finish filing the taxes, and oh, yeah, I think I have a few minutes left for some sleep before I have to go to work tomorrow. Enough grumbling, though. I am thankful for my Lord sacrificing himself...

I love seafood, which would normally be a good thing - because it is one of the proteins I can eat right now. So Friday I got a small piece of salmon, marinated it and sautéed it up; trying to keep it very moist. Even though it was a small piece, I was...

Woo-hoo! I went for my 1 week post-op visit on Friday (should've posted then; sorry.) Dr. Richard cleared me for starting on soft solid foods; scrambles eggs, cottage cheese, very well chopped chicken or tuna salad, etc. Which is very good for me, because...

I am beginning to wonder about all those other people's blogs I read that just had tremendous amounts of energy as soon as they got home from the hospital; cause it ain't happenin' here! It's nothing major, but I just haven't felt real great. I should...

Well, it didn''t take me long to make my fist mistake. i actually did it while I was wrting the "I'm Home" blog earlier. One of the major rules of "eating" post surgery, is that you should never eat (or drink your protein supplement) while doing something...

I got to come home this morning. And I swear, having the drain pulled out of me was the worst experience of the whole surgery. It took everything I had not to throw up. It's not that it hurt tremendously (although it didn't feel good) but it felt like...

Well, it’s Friday. I wasn't much up to writing yesterday. The surgery went fine and there hasn't been too much pain, but I had a tough time shaking the anesthesia. It was also keeping me pretty nauseous. They let me have ice chips, but they kept making...

Well, its almost here. I should have posted last week about my pre-op, but i got a little distracted by everything. (I'll go back later and describe) But as for today, i have been on a clear liquid diet (luckily Jell-O counts as liquid). I had my last...

I have noticed a trend in all my past blogs; every single one starts with "OK". I will do my best not to submit y'all to that any more. However, immediately after surgery I promise NOTHING! More than likely I will write down a few things and have David...

OK, this is the fun part! However, unless you want to pay anywhere from $20,000 and up for your surgery all on your lonesome, it is a neccesary evil to fill out your insurance's paperwork exactly as they wish it to be filled out. My insurance is Blue...

Okay - here's most of the info the nutritionist gave us. Her spiel probably took up more time than anyone else's, and with good reason. My stomach is going from (well I probably don't want to know how big) to down to the size of my thumb. The basic rule...

OK, so my 1st appointment is actually 3 hours long! WOW! But...it's not at the Dr.s office, it's back at the hospital at their weight loss surgery clinic. Dr.s Proctor & Richard do so many of these surgeries that NorthEast Georgia Medical Center in...

not OK, so I decided to get serious about the surgery. My friend "C" had recommended the website: www.obesityhelp.com , which i had checked out before, but this time I registered and started looking for a doctor. I found one in Gainesville that had tons...

OK, I decided to go back and post everything that has happened since I first decided to have this surgery. (Because there has been a lot!) That way if anyone who reads this is trying to decide whether to have it or not, and wants to know what to expect,...

OK, I got the go ahead from the psychologist for the gatric bypass. (Yea!) I was still very worried about that. Something cool though, he said on my intelligence test; he said he's done over 2,000 test, and only 4 people have ever scored perfect - I missed...
