Fall break is finally here! At last, a five day weekend haha. Unfortunately, I will have to use much of my time off to work on my Threaded Case Study for my Networking Components class. If ANYONE has done a networking project similar to creating LANs, WANs, or wireless networks, I would greatly appreciate a tip or two. Thanks.

People power. To feel your best today, spend more time socializing with others. Attending a party would fit the bill perfectly! But, that’s not the only solution. You can also go to any crowded public place where you can mingle with lots of people. Great day to go to a popular restaurant, movie theater or store.

i usually don’t trust these things, but they’re always right haha

The FLU!!!

acoble — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:46:36 +0000

I developed a minor flu over the past couple of days. I don’t quite see how because i took every precaution in the book to prevent it. I always wash my hands after using the bathroom and I use hand sanitizer about ten times per day! So I must have developed it from someone who was throwing their germs around unknowingly. I’ll probably never see the day where EVERYONE will follow these healthy habits. But if you’re curious, here’s a link for some good tips to fight the FLU!!!

Hello world!

Hello! i want to use this blog to share things that will be learning this year. Things related to Web and Programming or CST or things of that nature. Other than that, I would be more than happy to chat or communicate with other aspiring computer techs. I also have a passion for music. I play the drumset so if there are any other drummers out there, let’s talk haha.
