Website is back up again, and strangely enough, it just happens to be exactly a year after the news posting below announcing that we were moving then... This time we're already moved, and we're getting unpacked and getting everything set up again. If you don't already have it, email one of us to get our new address. Our phone numbers did not change, even though we're in a different county, because they're cell phones and we're still in the same area code.The website will be going down for scheduled maintenance (new CPU fans) and a move (we're moving!) starting Friday August 17th, and might be back up as soon as Saturday the 18th, but could be as late as Tuesday the 21st. Don't be surprised if you try to get to our site this weekend and it's down.
I realized that I never posted a link to the photos from our own camera showing our honeymoon photos and stuff, so click here to see them! We finally got in touch with our photographer, who as it turns out actually sold his business. Paul's former webmaster Israel Isassi was very helpful, and we really appreciate his efforts. Here's a link to the photos taken by Paul Martinez. If you click any of the larger images, they will open the full size image, which is suitable for printing at Walgreens or wherever. And before anyone asks, yes, we did purchase the rights to do this from our photographer, so it's not stealing!
First update in almost a year! Time flies when you're having fun being a newlywed couple! Diane E. sent us some photos on CD, so we posted em here. If you have photos from our wedding, please email them to Jason so we can get them posted, too!
It's a boy! Jeff & Mary had a baby boy on May 17, 2006 at about 9pm eastern time. They haven't chosen a name yet, but are leaning towards Luke. We have baby pictures from the hospital, and as I receive more photos, they'll show up at the above link, or in Jeff's section at the left, and will be organized by date. 
We finally have a wedding date. On October 28, 2006, Dian and I will be getting married at the Prince of Peace Catholic Church. We can't wait!
If you are receiving spam claiming to come from gibson99.com, don't believe it! Starting on Saturday April 14th, I started getting tons of bounced emails that I never sent. Every single one of them was some BS stock market spam. Right now, there's only ONE valid email address you should ever get "From:" anything that ends in @gibson99.com - but I'm not going to say what it is, lest the spammers read this and start abusing it. I'd like to keep this email address that I paid for! I will say that it's a real name, and a common name - nothing obscure or unusual. It's a very common English name. I say this because most of the bounces I see are coming from nonsense account names like "vwfhu" "asdf" and "sdifu" - just random keypresses. Please don't set your email filters to block anything from me - instead, use a proper filter like SpamCop and SpamAsassin to block the actual sender's IP address. Be sure to check out Spam Primer or just Google stop spam. For the curious, there IS a term for what's happenning to me - it's called being Joe Jobbed. Google that if you like - there's loads of hits on it. And for the loving folks who are spamming using my good name, just pray to whatever Gods you worship that I never meet you. It won't be pretty. And if you DO get any of this spam, DON'T BUY ANYTHING! If nobody buys things from spammers, then the spammers will go away, since it will no longer be worth their time to spam everyone. I'm engaged! On April 1st, 2006, Dian told me "of course I'll marry you" when I asked her if she would. Our engagement is not an April Fools' joke, though the beginning of the way I proposed to her started off that way. read more... Before anyone asks, we do NOT have a wedding date yet! The church is making us jump through a few hoops first, to help us make sure it's really the right thing to do. I have no problem with this, though Dian is a little impatient. As soon as we have a date, I'll let everyone know!
Not to take away from the big engagement news, I put other updates down here...Justin's section has grown to include a bunch more pictures, including his 2nd birthday party. Sorry for the poor formatting of the directories, but it works, for the most part...
Jeff & Mary's Wedding photos - Yes, they got married in September, and the pics have actually been online for a while, but I never announced them here. Sorry!
CameraPhonePix - Curious what I take pictures of? In here, you'll see pictures of everything ranging from broken car parts, a quick and dirty tour of the DeLorean shop, cats in weird sleeping positions, a jet engine heat blower, people making weird faces at the camera, cuts kids, "Cover Your Ass" pictures, and all sorts of other random things. Updated on a regular, "whenever the hell I feel like it" schedule.
Eventually, I plan to update the entire site here to be built just like my carputer site. It does away with all these nasty tables I've been using for formatting (which isn't really the right way to do it, even though it seems to get the job done), and gets things into the 21st century with CSS and a much more efficient, effective, though not effortless, format.
Just doing a couple tweaks to the site. Added Dian's section (which will grow with time). Our photos from the trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, the week before Memorial Day can be found in Dian's Section. I Removed directories that aren't needed - the old "career" directory, and "cooking." OK, so my original intent was to put stuff in there about my job history, or post recipes online, but I figure my resume alone is sufficient, and I don't have any good recipes of my own that are worth posting. Any other suggestions? Something you'd like to see here, or something you think should go away? Email me and I'll see what I can do!
What's cookin? The site is finally back online. Guess my cable company doesn't hate me anymore. Now I can host images and stuff again!
