Started a blog today
My wife Samantha recently started a blog about the various craft projects she makes ( http://theneedtocreate.com) so I thought I would start a blog as well. I wanted to blog about something that I enjoy but also something that has not already been done to death, so I settled on Texas wine and winery reviews. Texas Wine Blog is up and running as of this afternoon, though I haven't done much other than gotten the layout started and my first review post. Let me know what you think!

iPad funtimes
I won an iPad at my company picnic. Downloaded an lj app so I'm testing it out. I never win anything so this is awesome. Seems like it'll be a suitable replacement for my net surfing and IM needs and it streams netflix too! That is all. Posted via LiveJournal.app. | | Saturday, January 16th, 2010 | | 5:01 pm |
bi-annual LJ update
I haven't posted in a while but here's what's new My wonderful wife and I got married (finally) after 7 years of being together on New Year's Eve. We had greek food catered, and she did most of the awesome details like the table centerpieces, color scheme, etc (black white and silver) as well as making sure we hand plenty of new year's fun stuff like hats, tiaras, noisemakers, etc. It was basically a quick ceremony with great food and then partying until 2am. We got two bartenders and between my father and I we spent about $1500 on booze for 50 people, which is AWESOME because I have a full bar at my house now in booze from the leftovers. We didn't go on a honeymoon, as she's a teacher and was at the tail-end of her winter break. We are going to New Mexico the end of March, to the Taos/Red River area (absolutely beautiful). We want to find a cabin-style house to rent for the week and get nice and coz, and go wander around during the day, do some hiking on some trails and see the beautiful mountains, mesas, the river and probably do some snowmobiling. At work we started a Biggest Loser contest 2 Mondays ago. Anyone that knows me knows that I am very competitive and do not like to lose, so needless to say in less than 2 weeks I am down 15+lbs. I have been doing high intensity cardio for an hour+ every night at the gym and have been on a pretty much vegetarian diet. No meat, dairy, lots of veggies. I can only imagine how much weight I will have lost come April when the contest ends, if I keep this up full force! I am up for my 2 year review at work on February 11th. I can't wait, I know I have really worked hard in the last 6 months and my supervisors have seen that, so crossing my fingers for a good raise. I don't think i'm ready for the promotion to Level III administrator yet, but some money thrown in my direction will get me through another 6 months so I can learn more and get more involved in the critical operations around the Gator. I'll try to post more, I promise :) | | Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 | | 9:24 am |

P90X continues...
So I just finished the Day 3 workouts for P90X. The first day was called "Core Synergistics" and was a lot of resistance stuff mainly with some yoga and plyometrics. I toughed my way through it though, knowing that subsequent days would get easier. The next morning I woke up sore in muscles I forgot I had. It was actually a good sort of pain, cause I knew I pushed myself hard. Last night I did the Cardio X workout which was, well, cardio. There were a bunch o new exercises that I had not done before, mixed in with more yoga, plyometrics and some Kenpo. It definitely got the heart rate up and I was sweating more than normal cardio workouts. Woke up this morning sore in different spots. Tonight I did the Ab Ripper and Shoulder/Arm workouts. My abs are burning and I had to stop about 3/4 into the shoulder/arm workout because I could barely lift my arms at all. I think my muscles are as torn down as I can get them right now. I still got an hour workoout in, as the abs program was 15 minutes and the shoulder/arm was 60 of which I did 45. Tomorrow is a one hour yoga day, which is good as it will give my muscles a day to rebuild before the next workout of Legs/Back and Ab-ripper again. I am really looking at a lifestyle change. I think the lemonade diet that I went through a couple weeks back really made me realize how good i CAN feel if I work at it. I've worked on eating more healthy and making better choices. I've now had consistent exercise for 3 days with 87 more to go (minus a few break days in the plan. The exercises in P90X make you FEEL that they are working, and in new and different muscles as well as the standard ones. I will keep you all updated with my progress, I know you are at the edge of your seat! :) | | Saturday, August 1st, 2009 | | 11:40 am |
Day 4
So i'm on Day 4 of the lemonade diet and so far so good. I've had plenty of energy, I feel a lot less bloated, i've lost about 13lbs (mostly water weight im sure) and I haven't been hungry really. I do get cravings just to taste something other than lemons, syrup and cayenne but that is satisfied at night with my herbal tea. I see no reason why I won't be able to fly through the rest of this diet. Soon I will be toxin free! Wish me luck :) | | Thursday, July 9th, 2009 | | 4:58 pm |
sorry for the lack of posts (if anyone actually reads them)
I'm one of those people that has gotten sidetracked with Facebook and Twitter lately so I haven't really updated my Livejournal. I've been busy working, playing RockBand 2, swimming, the usual. Exciting news on the horizon is that we are going on a trip to Florida from the 17th to the 26th and we have a condo on Sanibel Island for 4 of those days which is REALLY awesome. Also Sami and I have decided to finally go and officially get married. We set the date for New Year's Eve and we are just going to have a party at my parent's place because they have a huge back yard and 5 acres for parking and whatnot. Just gonna have someone officiate and then it's lots of booze and dancing and fireworks and whatnot. Then we are going to NYC for honeymoon because Sami has never been up north. We are gonna go to all the touristy stuff, catch a broadway show (i'm rooting for The Toxic Avenger but it's lookin like Wicked :-/ ) Anyway other than that, same old same old --- If you want to facespace me you can do so at http://facebook.com/nuberTwitter is http://twitter.com/chrisnuberSo what are YOU up to these days?

eeepc
Originally published at Chris Nuber's Blog. You can comment here or there. So the EEEPC’s OS decided to take a dump and running sim-ple commands like ls and rm and top would segfault.
I have been meaning to reload it with a better linux distro anyways, the one that comes with the Asus EEEPC is pretty lame.
I decided to load Crunch Bang linux on it and so far it’s working out pretty well. It’s lighter weight than Xandros and it uses a simple window manager which uses about 20% less cpu than KDE did.
Other than that, just staying busy with work and the fam. | | Saturday, February 14th, 2009 | | 7:53 pm |
Circuit City - putting the BLOW in blowout
Originally published at Chris Nuber's Blog. You can comment here or there. So we are looking for a new lcd-tv for the bedroom, nothig big just a 32″-37″… I figured i’d stop by Circuit City since they are having the Store Closing Blowout Sale!1111!1
I thought they’d have some refurb tvs or some good deals on last gen stuff. They wanted $600-700 for a 26″ lcd, and 1200 for a 37″
Needless to say we left soon after entering. No wonder these people are going out of business, with prices like these. | | 3:14 pm |
playing computer repair man again
Originally published at Chris Nuber's Blog. You can comment here or there. So i’ve put off fixing teh gf’s coworker’s computer for a week or so that it’s been here but I finally started on it today.\
The problem was “It’ll boot up but freezes before windows, but it’s been in the garage for a year”
I go to boot it up and it’s got a short somewhere. Come to find out the neon bar things that whoever installed when building it were frayed on the power wires so it was grounding on the case
I removed them but then found that the power supply was fried. So I replaced the power supply with one of the dozen spares I have, then I put it all back together (the correct way) and it boots the Windows XP install CD, but says “No drives found”. Come to find out it’s a rather archaic motherboard with the very first incarnation of serial ATA so it needed drivers on FLOPPY to be loaded at boot time. So I dug up a floppy drive, plugged it in to my computer, downloaded the drives, wrote them to floppy disk, pplugged the floppy drive into their computer and loaded the drivers and off I go…
I will never forget why I stopped doing computer repair and entered the administrative side. | | 12:04 pm |
Much needed vacation
Originally published at Chris Nuber. You can comment here or there. The girl and I are going to San Antonio next weekend. We spent a couple hours looking at the various hotels on the riverwalk last night online and finally came to a decision.
Hotel Valencia
 Hotel Valencia - room It looks really nice from what i’ve seen online and I think we will have a great time. We will probably go out to Gruene TX on friday and then Saturday there is a seminar at the Alamo that the girl wants to go to since she’s a Texas History teacher and all. | | Wednesday, February 11th, 2009 | | 9:09 pm |

orange citrus tilapia
I made a pretty tasty dinner tonight. Orange Citrus Tilapia with white rice. It was simple but really good, even Sami liked it and she doesn't like fish. It consisted of Tilapia, black pepper, a citrus spice seasoning mix, some lemon pepper and some fresh squeezed oranges with a bit of olive oil. I will make it again soon. We bought a few lbs of tilapia at Sam's club today |
