Long time, no post.

I have been ignoring the blog for some time now. Last year was rather busy. Eva started a new job (Pharmacy IT) as well as take classes at Ann Arundel Community College to retake some science credits she needs to get back into pharmacy school. I helped install another 512+ nodes (around 4096 cores) to the Xeon based Linux cluster and at the same time decommissioned the 1024 processor Altix at work. Charlotte started daycare. Charlotte also ended up getting a case of Strep Pneumonia right before her second birthday. The Pneumonia caused fluid to build up around one of her lungs which caused us to spend around two weeks at UMMC's PICU and then Children's ward. She ended up having a VATS procedure and a chest tube put in to drain the fluid. Eva and I were a wreck but with the help of friends and family we survived and Charlotte had a very happy birthday and holiday season.

Charlotte has also decided around Christmas to move full-on into the terrible twos. Everything is a battle now and Eva and I have taken to referring to her as "the mental patient" as she will be perfectly fine one moment and a screaming lunatic the next. Otherwise things are good.

Work is rather busy for Eva and I at the moment and the first half of this year is going to be nuts. I hope to get around to going through the pictures from the end of 2007 and all of 2008 to get them up on the website sometime soon.
