I finally have a well paying job and I am excited about it, it's been too long. I am a developer/dba/admin for a very fast growing local company. I worked with the team before and I am familiar with the product. I can't wait to start next week. So USF keeps me and I get a sweet job, this is my month so far

I will be staying at University of South Florida and continue my Management Information Systems degree. I am going to re-apply for 2006-2007 Microsoft Student Ambassador position at USF. I also hope to get awarded a Lead MSA for my district. I am very happy with these news. I am committed to this decision and will move forward.

1. Just realized that I just can't send an attachment or receive one with out having a anti-virus scan it. Good thing is that there Windows Live Safety Scanner that you can install right from your Options menu. I sense Windows Live Messenger moving toward a true SIP product soon. 2. Sounds are now managed from inside options and not showing up in the Control Panel -> Sounds 3.
