I am indeed not dead

Contrary to what major news outlets may be telling you, I am without a doubt not dead or dying.

So, I suppose that I will probably start actually doing artsy shit again, seeing as school is certainly in my favour in terms of difficulty this term in particular. No real hard classes to be seen, with a lovely large break in the middle of my day for either work or other shit.

Speaking of work, I'm now working at the Liberty Center One tech/data center near my home. Good work, pays nice. I get to have some hands-on work experience with service providers and servers in general. Getting to see the backbone that is our internet on a small scale is both interesting and absolutely terrifying. Holy hell, this shit is so goddamn patchwork most people would not believe the amount of upkeep that goes into updating legacy systems (like the internet) without having a single second of down time. Man alive, that shit is hard.

Also also, if you follow my soundcloud, you may have noticed that I suddenly awoke like some great musical beast, and by that most of my recent music could be considered synonymous with the deep growling of a bear. Take your pick on interpretation, but if you like jazz and or funk, or even just want some nice relaxing ambient music with rain sounds to boot, head over to my soundcloud or my bandcamp. You can just google me and they'll show up pretty high.

I've started taking to watercolours again, as you may have noticed. I wanted to actually do some physical art, seeing as I'm not terribly good at much other than things like graphite sketches and shit like that. But, my brief foray into watercolours has so far yielded relatively positive results. People seem to like it, and I must admit that I find it rather pretty.

If any of you play TF2, hit me up. Apart from Kameron, I don't really have a buddy to play TF2 with, and although battle-medic chain combos are incredibly fun, only two people is never fun. Especially with auto-balance. So just lemme know, and we can start hitting up servers as an unstoppable force of pub-stomp.

I think that about wraps up all important things from my end. Apart from that, I've completely upgraded my computer, keeping only a single harddrive from the last computer. I've turned my original rig into a dedicated server, and that seems to be running very well. Well, as well as it can what with the sporadic power outages and me being to lazy to setup/test Wake on Lan (WoL).

So, if you need anything, you all know how to get a hold of me. I hope to be back to posting shit every week or so. It's always fun to do that.

Love, Dylan.
