So for those of you waiting for my con report... who am I kidding, no one was waiting. :3

I will say, FC completely redeemed furry cons for me; I don't think I've ever had that much fun or learned so much in one week. If I ever get some free time, expect to see more stuff posted here, of a much more mixed-media variety.

Speaking of free time, the reason I've not posted this entry yet is because I've barely had any of the stuff since the con; mostly I've been catching up with classes, but I've also been looking for loans and stuff.

So, in direct opposition of what a lot of people seem to be going through right now, I've actually picked up a second job: I'm now officially an IT Technician for the Magdalena Ridge Observatory - a collaboration between the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, the California Institute of Technology, and Cambridge University. I'll be helping them run a lot of their hardware, as well as assisting the current webmaster. Neat thing is, I'm going to be working with a lot of my professors as well, as many of them intend to use the observatory when it's completed (as do I). It'll be really nice. I start Friday.

In addition to all of this, I've finally been able to get my old SPARCclassic machine, Concord, up and running properly - with a disgusting PC emulator program and accelerator card. I'm currently running DOS 6.22 on it, but I have Windows 3.1 installed and I'd like to find a copy of Windows 95 to throw on there just because. Basically, it's a little virtual machine on the computer, with its own separate processor. I'd like to give it its own hard drive, but the accursed external drive enclosure is kind of broken; I need to figure out how to fix it still.
