it's hard to come up with titles for these things

Some interesting things have happened this week, but I haven't really had much motivation to write about them. I'm beginning to become very busy at work due to our implementation of HIPAA security policies. There's a phrase on the whiteboard by my desk that says "HIPAA will kill us all', and I believe it. There's an amazing amount of crap that has to be completed by the IT department, and the funny thing is we should have been doing most of it already. The good thing is that it's one of those job security things.

So I guess i'm going to have to adjust the tagline on my blog. I bought a Dell XPS Gen 4 (with a 19" LCD) and an Inspiron 8600. So I guess I finally was able to afford an LCD monitor. Although I will still be spending the vast majority of my time in front of a CRT here at work. I was offered a 15" LCD for my desk, but it doesn't get anywhere near the resolution that I typically need. Needless to say, I am VERY excited about playing WoW, Half-life 2 and Doom 3 on my new computers.

There is a fairly interesting thing that happened at The Church of the Aposltes here in Lexington. The whole church, priest and all, picked up and left to start their own "Anglican" church. In America, the difference between an Episcopal Church and an Anglican one is that the Anglicans don't like the fact that we have a gay bishop. Very Christian if you ask me. Way to be inclusive and love everyone! Such a great example! Assholes...
Anyways, the priest that was in charge of the church, Martin Gornik, has been acting like a real ass for the last year or so. I knew him since he was a priest at Christ Church, and I always thought he seemed like a nice, charismatic guy. Little did I know that he was extremely conservative, and obviously homophobic. Really, a shining example of a person that shouldn't be a priest. There is a silver lining, though. The Bishop has decided that he wants to take the church and make it young adult oriented. We don't really have anything like that in Lexington, so I think it's a great idea. We're having an organizational meeting tonight at 6:00 in case you hordes of readers out there want to come. It's located at 1321 Trent Blvd., off of Man O' War. Here the article from the Herald-Leader, Parish splits from Episcopal Church

Slow week in geek news. Most interesting is that Microsoft is going to turn off Windows Update for pirated versions of XP. The caveat is that updates will still install if you leave on automatic updates. Seems kind of pointless to me. Someone will just find a way to repackage them...

I'll try to be more interesting next week...
