It's been a little over a month since I broke my collarbone, things are slowly getting back to normal. I still haven't ridden a bike outside yet, but I've been on the trainer almost every day and when it's all said and done will have put in ~1000 miles on it. The first 30 days I been worked on my cadence and can do ~125RPMs for as long as I feel like it (on the lowest resistance setting on the trainer) and for the last few days (and next 20 or so) I'm cranking up the resistance and seeing how big I can make the sweat puddle. I'm thinking I should get a heart rate monitor to figure out how much work I'm actually doing. I'm back to using two hands to type pretty well but I'm still mousing with my left hand which is less weird than a month ago but still kinda weird, and it's still not a good idea for me to do things like open bags of chips. More X-Rays in a few weeks and we'll see how it's doing!

I also finally got around to taking some pictures of my house. I bought it in December but have been waiting for things to get a bit more moved in. Theres still no dining room table or bed, but I'm not going to be doing any heavy lifting soon so figure it was time to share some pictures of it as is. Nothing has broken yet, Greg has been awesome by coming over to mow since I'm busted, and thanks to my parents I have some trees and bushes planted in the back yard. If you're in the neighborhood and need to watch a HD movie or play some super smash brothers on a big TV, or have a beer on the back porch, just let me know!

In other news:

• My brother got married and is off to New Zealand for his honeymoon!
• San and I have our plane tickets and hotel reservations for this years Gallery Developer Conference, Amsterdam and Paris in July!
• They finally put no parking signs on my street on one side. Now it will be possible for things like the Garbage and UPS trucks to make it down the street since cars will only be on one side. Getting out of the driveway will be a lot easier too!

I had to figure out what to do for Internet at my new place. The previous owner had Comcast because he watched a lot of TV and having cable internet made sense for him, but I'd rather not deal with Comcast customer support when things go wrong as well as their network filtering, and I'm not planning on watching any TV. However, he also didn't have local phone service so there was no phone line running to the house and I didn't want to get phone service either. There is a monitored alarm system installed as well, and it has a cellular modem on it so that it doesn't need a phone line, but that costs extra for them to monitor so costs look like this:

1. Comcast + Cell Alarm = 42.95 + 49.99 = 92.94
2. ATT DSL + ATT Phone + Phone Alarm = 20.00 + 32.00 + 36.99 = 88.99
3. SpeakeasyDSL + Cell Alarm = 49.95 + 49.99 = 99.94

Is it worth 10$ a month to not have to deal with ATT and Comcast? Yes. If I do end up getting TV I'll go with Satellite anyways...

If you're looking for a new DSL provider, use this link for Speakeasy DSL and I get a few $ off my bill if you sign up :)

It's been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. A lot's gone on, so here's the short version and I'll likely go a bit more in depth over the next few weeks as I get around to starting to post more regularly.

• I graduated from Georgia Tech with a Masters in Computer Science specializing in Networking.
• I bought a house in Reynoldstown/Cabbagetown in Atlanta, GA and moved in. Still need to get some furniture and fix some things.
• I started work as an Operations Engineer for SugarCRM where I'll be working on scalable infrastructure sorts of things.
