Yes - I agree and thanks to my buddy Kyle for reminding me earlier in the evening about … me not having posted anything in a while. Apart from mundane aspects associated with settling down and setting up an apartment from scratch, I haven’t done much to write about. On that note, I must accept - I hate packing, moving, unpacking, and such. If you say who does?, I wouldn’t disagree with you. Once the settling down and setting up was almost done, I spent much of every evening in doing a bit of scripting and playing around with CSS, PHP/MySQL - mostly for my website (and of couple dear friends as well) - and developed some useful utilities. As most of these utilities are on the admin/maintenance side, I can’t really write about them - at least not yet.

Rest of the pictures from this settling down and setting up process are here: One | Two | Three

Some of my evenings were spent in watching my beloved MTU Huskies Basketball games - via HuskyLive (video stream on the internet). I was pretty disappointed with myself for more than one reason: this post-season turned out to be the first time in Tech history that both men and women basektball teams hosted a game the same day; although our men were eliminated in quarterfinals, women beat quality opponents (Grand Valley State University in QF, Wayne State University in SF and Ashland University in the Championship game) to not only win the GLIAC but also clinch a berth (or should I say punch their ticket) for NCAA tournament in Springfield, MO. I would have paid a million bucks (that is, if I had a million bucks) to be part of this momentous event but nevertheless I am pretty proud to have been part of the process. After the first couple games I saw [1 and 2] in Kenosha, WI, with many star players get injured through out the season, it was an awesome achievement. To see many freshmen and sophomore players step up to fill big shoes and not freak out/fall apart in the face of adversity was, needless to say, very inspiring

In other news, now that Spring is already here, I have started working out periodically to improve/strengthen my shoulders (thanks to Health & Fitness Center staff on campus) and I have found a softball league to play on this Summer. Kinda looking forward to that. Before my camera gear gets buried under dust, I should find entities (state parks, birds, wild life creatures, landscapes, etc.) to shoot pictures of. Please do check my Showcase often for subsequent pictures.

In passing, if any one knows whether the proposed June 2008 Version Two of iPhone (by His Steveness and Apple) is just a software upgrade OR it includes a hardware upgrade as well, I would greatly appreciate it.
