So really, a big update is coming soon....oh hell...just keep reading lower for the full update...but I HAD to post this little tidbit.
We were having trouble getting on the net, but anything that was either cached in my systems DNS cache, or I had bookmarked by IP address, so I figured out that Comcast's DNS servers were down. Simple solution, go to the router configuration and type in the IP addresses of two other DNS servers....But where am I going to find two DNS server IP addresses when I can't connect to any named URLs? Simple.....Pull the UofM DNS server IP addresses out of the back of my head. :-) Those servers are just 1 node removed from a root DNS server....which also resides on the campus. Random memories...
So, here is the long update. Chrissy and I have been on a Diet for a while. We are following the Weight Watchers Points Plan and have been since the end of January. So far, including a couple day set-back for going on vacation, I have lost 42lbs, and Chrissy has also lost about that much. It has been great. Besides having my clothes fit better, I feel awsome. I am down to about the weight I graduated college at (which still isn't a weight to be proud of, but I am headed in the right direction) and it is progress dammit! Anyway, things are going along well, and I will try to keep you all up to date about my progress. Gonna run for now, so this really isn't THAT long, but it is big in news (and my stature).
L8r folks.
