The Zereps

how many domain names can you have that all point to the same place? I’m currently testing that theory and will get back to you on that one, but I’ve added my latest acquistion to the pile of names that already point to this site. You can now reach us at my alter-ego DNS representation at: http://asiclipt.us

Anybody who’s known me for any amount of time should recognize that name–I use it for a lot of my online screennames. I know its easy to make fun of, but it’s very unique and I doubt anybody else in the world has ever come up with that name for anything before. BTW, happy friday the 13th. 😉

This week is finally over. And luckily for me, Monday is a holiday, so that means no work until Tuesday–hurray! Shannon and Marc are still here on their visit. Today they went and saw The Met and the American Museum of the Moving Image (one of my favorites.) There’s so much stuff to do in the city here, but Candice and I never go out and do ‘touristy’ things like museums or tours or anytyhing like that. Hopefully, that will change in the future. It’s going to rain here tomorrow (since we’ve been having a warm spell lately,) but then on Sunday, it might snow because the temp’s going to drop to the low 30s and upper 20s. yeah 🙂

..that is, Shannon and Marc, have been here for a couple days now. I think they’ve been enjoying themselves. I don’t get to do too much stuff with them during the day because I’m at work. But yesterday was an exception. Candice and them came over to Union Square (just a couple blocks from my work) on the subway and we all went out to Indian Food for lunch. There’s this really excellent Indian restaurant that has a lunch buffet, so you can try new things that you can’t even pronounce. 😉 Last night we didn’t do anything too excitint–an episode of X-files and some videogame playing. Hopefully we’ll have some pictures to prove they were actually here soon.

Anybody seen the new MacBook Pro with dual-core intel processors, PCI express, an SATA hard drive, and an ATI Radeon X1600 video card?

Shannon and Marc landed safely on Sunday night at Laguardia Airport arount 7pm EST. On Sunday, we slept in, Candice went to work and I headed off with our visitors to downtown Manhattan. We took the subway to the last stop in Manhattan and then walk about a mile and a half to the bottom of the island where we caught the Staten Island Ferry. Shannon wanted to see the Statue of Liberty, but the ferry to Liberty Island costs 12 bucks and the Staten Island ferry is free–and it goes right past Liberty Island. It’s about an hour and a half round trip from Staten Island to our house, so that and walking around Manhatten consisted of most of our adventures yesterday. More to come soon…

…at least in our little digital world. I wish there was real snow here though–it’s definitely cold enough.

Hope you enjoy the new plugin… don’t worry, I’ll turn it off eventually, but for now just let me be hopeful. 😉

Marc and Shannon are coming to visit us today.. actually, they will be here in around 3 hours (7:45pm EST.) You can check the status of their flight here: Flight Status

When they come we’ll take some pictures and keep everybody posted as to our activities. Have a great weekend!

Hmm.. well over the holiday weekend–Monday sometime after 1am to be exact, apparently the database server of our hosting company had some issues. Then other small weird things started happening, like at one point the weather status plugin stopped working, then the redirectors for our other domains like thezereps.com stopped working. Everything seems to be working fine now though..

Today was the first day after the long New Years weekend that I had to go back to work. I got pretty bored today and was pretty antsy to go home. It rained here today which made the walking part of my hour-long commute to and from work pretty stressful.

Yesterday, I had a pretty relaxing day at home. I cleaned up a bit while Candice was barista-ing at the Freeze Peach Cafe. I devoted a couple hours to Half-Life 2 and finally, after over a year and a month since I got the game, I finally beat it. Now that I have a fancy new video card, I think I’ll be playing a lot more 3D-accelerated games–the next one in line is called F.E.A.R. I bought that and a year’s subscription to ‘Maximum PC‘ magazine with a gift card I got. Thanks Doug and Winn!
