So I decided to write to my brother again today. It's been 5 months since I talked to him. I told my ex, Savannah, "I love you". It's strange now that she is engaged, but I really just want her to be happy now, even if it's not with me. I asked out a woman I met over the weekend on Sunday night, and she said no, but I really saw how she was seriously looking at what it would take on her part, and really couldn't date right now. I made it to NJ on time today. The plane rides weren't all that bad, and I finished reading Tipping Point. It's a great book. I will have to come up with some ideas to promote my company using the methods in the book. Overall I had a great day today.

I have decided to look at possibilities for employment. I am looking at Landmark Education: Network Administrator, Administrative Assistant, and Staff Member. I am also looking at taking a 6 month contract. My top priorities in these positions are job satisfaction, salary, hours and location.

I'm looking forward to my trip to New Jersey tomorrow. I'm going to try and move the tickets to leave later since it's now past 12am and I'm not packed.

Wow, I found VNV Nation tour dates that I may be able to go see! I happen to be going to New Jersey next week to do some work at Picatinny Arsenal. I'll post on that as it unfolds. I currently have to track down a DVD for Platform OCS before I leave on Monday morning.

I was hooked on VNV Nation ever since my friend Nathan introduced me to them around 2000. I lost track of them over time, and stumbled across an ad almost randomly for a concert they had in Houston in September.

When I got to the venue I was a little disappointed, and when I saw the opening band I was starting to wonder if I should have come. After the first act I decided to stick it out, and I am so glad I did. VNV Nation delivered on everything I had remembered them to be and more. It was the most inspiring performance I have ever seen. I bought their latest CDs, and they are still in my CD changer in my car today. I must see this band again! Come back and play in Houston VNV!

Libertarian for President 2008

I came across this campaign via an ad while reading my e-mail on gmail. I fully support the Libertarian Party. Libertarians support you, and your freedom to choose. That's what we stand for. There are no areas where you should be limited in your freedom, except where your actions harm others. Please visit George's site, and if you agree with what we stand for give us your support.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Alex Cresswell. I'm 30 years old. I have worked in the IT Industry for 9 years. I have four certifications: RHCE, CCNA, NCLP, and NCLE. I am really a huge geek. I love to build networks and fix them when they break. I have a brother named Mark who lives in Alaska, and my two Parents who are still together live in Hot Spring Village, Arkansas. I own Alpha One Networks. I'll tell you what we do, but I want to ask something first. How much money does Amazon.com lose if it's down for an hour? How much money does your business lose if your network is down for an hour? What we can do is build a network that will stay up 24/7. More on that later.
