Name: Kent Cowgill. Location: Chicago, IL USA.

I'm a software engineer and sometimes system administrator currently working for an internet marketing company in Chicago.

I've got a beautiful wife Lisa, a wonderful newborn son named Matthew, a nice little house in Chicago, a little black poodle/terrier mix named Spike, and two cats named Shadow and Butterscotch (photos of all the above are available in abundance in my photoblog).

I've done Perl development for over 12 years. I took a break for a while from development and turned my attention towards being a system administrator. Blame the dot-com boom - and I was in the right place at the right time. I never quite got development out of my blood - if I wasn't writing complex server monitoring and reporting systems, I would instead focus on learning some of the inner workings of Perl.

This site pulls together some of my interests - development, photography, and recently fitness, and acts as a playground for new technologies. Stay tuned :)

I'm posting a bit more than a day or two per post, hoping I can catch up to current before too much longer.

August 8:

I think I'm supposed to do week 3, day 2, column 3 for push ups today, but I'm not sure. I'm more sure about doing week 1, day 2, column 2 for chin ups. Regardless of what I've actually worked up to, this is what I'll be doing for the day.

Push ups: 27 then 19 then 19 then 15 then maxed out at 25. Resting about 90 seconds between sets for a total of 105 in about 8 minutes. I actually think I could've gotten one, possibly two more out of the max set before total collapse, but I just stopped at 25. But the really good news is that today, I hit all the targets for week 3 day 2. Hooray!

Chin ups: Not quite so good. 9 then 8 then 6 ...
