With the weather turning rainy again, I haven't had a chance to pull out the camera for the last week or so. That's just given me more time to play on the new PvP servers for EQ2, though. So far PvP has been a lot of fun.

I was going to write up a review on this Thai restaurant yesterday, but I figured that to really do it justice, I should wait until I visited there again so it was fresh in my memory. It is just down the street a few blocks from our apartment, so we decided to go there for lunch again today. I now have the burning spiciness of the food in my mouth as I sit and type this.

I had seen Panorama a few times along Bascom when taking a detour home from work. What attracted me to it was the fact the soaped windows advertising "$6.99 New York Steak" and "Now serving Chinsese food." Since my wife loves steak, and she loves Chinese food, I figured it'd be worth it to stop in for lunch one day.

It's been awhile since I've written up a restaurant review. To be honest, we've only eaten at a few new places lately. I'll start with the one we ate lunch at today since it is fresh in my mind. When I get time, I'll go back and try and write a bit about the other 2 places that stick out in my mind.

A few weeks ago, when I got my paycheck I noticed that I was nearing the maximum vacation accrual amount of 240 hours. Since I don't want to lose any vacation time I could accrue, I decided to take this week off.

Last night I sat down at my computer after work and decided it was time to give the photo gallery on Rogue a makeover. I decided to download the latest Coppermine and installed it on Rogue. Coppermine has some nice batch processing stuff that helped a lot. I created 74 albums to match the 74 album entries I had in the old custom-made gallery. Copied all the old JPGs over to the album directory for Coppermine, then spent a good couple of hours running Coppermine's batch file add feature for each of the 74 albums. I like the results a lot.
