Network connectivity issues, a baby, and books

I have spent all day at work troubleshooting a network issue on my machine. Finally have it working, though my method of fixing it isn't exactly the best.

So frustrating to lose an entire day to a problem like this.

And tomorrow, a large portion of my day will be spent moving to a new cubicle. Doh! Well, maybe next week I can get some things done here at work.

Regarding personal projects, they are at a standstill at a moment. The arrival of our little boy A has been wonderful. It also requires a lot of work! It's a delight to be with him, and watch him observe more of the world around him. The pooey diapers are just a bonus.

I have been doing a little reading. I finally got around to reading "I, Robot" by Isaac Asminov, and I enjoyed it. Encourages me to work on my short stories, since that is mostly what that book is comprised of. Just because it's short doesn't mean it isn't worth doing!

Now I started "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. About 60 pages in, and it's making me want to play Transport Tycoon. Also, there are portions of her philosophy that I can agree with.
