      <title>Was away on vacation</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s been quiet here the past several weeks and that&amp;#8217;s because for the first time since I started &lt;a href="http://planetargon.com"&gt;Planet Argon&lt;/a&gt;, I was able to take an extended vacation.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/2476085538/" title="IMG_8957 by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2399/2476085538_4c8e01ed1a.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="IMG_8957" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;My partner and I headed to France (Paris, Nice, Lascaux II, and Bordeaux) for a few weeks. It was a first time for both of us. I&amp;#8217;ve posted some photos on &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/"&gt;my flickr&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/sets/72157604714698814/"&gt;vacation set&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/2475271101/" title="Lascaux II by Robby Russell, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2191/2475271101_9dc8d5aef7.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Lascaux II" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;d like to thank my amazing team for helping make it easy for me to take off for that much time. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In any event, I wanted to post a few non-technical links&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://veggie.tumblr.com/"&gt;Veggie Tastespotting&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://tastespotting.com"&gt;tastespotting&lt;/a&gt; without the meat)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://robbyrussell.muxtape.com/"&gt;Robby&amp;#8217;s Muxtape&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://grabb.it/users/robbyrussell"&gt;Robby&amp;#8217;s Grabb.it&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/robbyrussell"&gt;Robby on twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedflix.com/robbyrussell"&gt;Robby&amp;#8217;s feedflix&lt;/a&gt; (netflix queue/stats)&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Link yours up!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;In the coming weeks&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;ll be posting some more thoughts on Project Management, time management, and anything else that seems to come up. If there is anything you&amp;#8217;d like me to write about, feel free to &lt;a href="mailto:robbyrussell+blog@gmail.com"&gt;drop me a line&lt;/a&gt; with a request.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Another Brick in the Wall</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Today is my 26th birthday!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Today I am getting &lt;strong&gt;our new Lead Systems Administrator&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href="http://david.planetargon.us"&gt;David Gibbons&lt;/a&gt;,  up to speed with how we run our hosting servers. Expect to hear more from him in the near future. He&amp;#8217;s jumping in and going to help take some of the hosting responsibility off of my lap as I am spending more of my time working with clients and our developers.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;December is a huge month for &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PLANET ARGON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and we have lots of fun things to announce over the next few weeks. David should have a headshot on our about page in the next few days. You can spot him in our &lt;a href="http://www.planetargon.com/chat.html"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;IRC&lt;/span&gt; channel&lt;/a&gt; as &lt;strong&gt;dgibbons&lt;/strong&gt;. Stop by and introduce yourself to him! I&amp;#8217;ve known David for about 3 years and it&amp;#8217;s great to have him join the team!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Today I am also celebrating that &lt;strong&gt;I got engaged&lt;/strong&gt; last night. My lovely girlfriend took me out for dinner last night and &lt;em&gt;proposed to me&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Today I turn 26 and it looks like the next year is going to be pretty exciting&amp;#8230; :-D&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;...back to work.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;some friends and us are meeting up at Lucky Lab brewery in SE Portland tonight:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;From Allison&amp;#8217;s email to people:
Robby&amp;#8217;s Birthday! (at the Lucky Lab)
Date: Monday, Dec 05, 2005
Time: 7:00 PM
Address: 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd.,, Portland, OR&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;cheers&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
