I’ve been camping out 3 out of the last 5 weekends and so far the weather hasn’t let me down. But soon it’s gonna be freezing cold. My weekends will soon be a mix of ramping up on my SQL DML skills, learning all about joins and temp tables. And Fable 2, Fallout 3, and Guitar Hero World Tour all just released. Not to mention I just got an email about KILANFest happening again in January.

The last KILANFest was October 4th & 5th, it was a blast, but only Travis & I drove up to Louisville for it. I’m hoping to bring some more folks from Tennessee with us for KILANFest 5.0, potentially 2 cars. And I really want to stay for more of Sunday festivities. Last time we arrived on Friday night even though the event starts on Saturday morning. But hanging out on Friday night was a good time. We got to help setup for the event, which consisted mostly of crimping network cables, tearing off duct tape, wishing I’d brought my fishtape, holding open doors, and “field testing” the Rock Band setup.

But it was fun spending time with the IT crowd at Summit Energy. Every IT department has to meet unique requirements for the business. I’m in a group of about 40 IT professionals that focus on the development, implementation, and support of clinical applications and infrastructure for over 150 locations. They run a shop focused on corporate user support & proprietery internal enterprise systems. It’s probably just a change of wardrobe, but it’s fun to sit down with them and talk shop and maybe do some networking.

That should be one of the highlights of KILANFest in January. In the meantime, I need to get my Guitar Hero skills up to par. It’s my understanding there will be a GH tourney and I don’t intend on finishing 2nd.
