Cinco de Mayo
May 05
David and his family, one of my co-workers, invited me to their home today to celebrate “Cinco de Mayo“. David was grew up in Mexico and moved to the US in his twenties, he’s been a good friend and I’ve enjoyed pr acting my Spanish with him and learning how to cook Mexican dishes. We ate Guacamole dip, chicken sautéed in chocolate mixed with pepper and tortias mixed with cactus, peppers, onions and cream cheese.
Later in the day I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005, IIS, ASP.NET and Community Server 2007. I’ve wanted to learn ASP.NET which is a Microsoft based server-side web programming language. I am going to be attempting to convert Ogden2k.net over to ASP.NET on my dev server at home.
The weather has been fairly cool this spring although the trees are finally starting to bud and the grass turning green. I purchased bird feed for the feeder that mom had given me for Christmas along with a Golden Finch feeder that hangs on the outside of my bedroom window. The birds found the feeder last Saturday morning which was nice to wake up to them singing.
I now have a DVR from Time Warner, I have been wanting this for awhile now; it’s coming in very handy as I have many shows scheduled to be recorded and different days and hours of the week.
