Last night (Tuesday) we had dinner with the language instructors, all American except for one Japanese guy.  It was kind of a little slice of home since everyone was speaking English and using utinsils.  We went to a Japenese-French restaurant that was REALLY good!  It was another set menu so no awkward ordering   Once [...]

Current Mood: HappyOK, first business day down. The server is up and running. I’m not sure I’m going to leave it with Small Business Server or go with straight Server 2008.

I love it here! I’m a network administrator, which is what I always hoped for at EDS and could never achieve. There [...]
