October 31, 2003Uncategorized1 commentI have realized that I managed to keep my goal this month – I posted at least once, every single day. I also hit my 200th post, a decent milestone. This will make 230, for those who are keeping count. I’m pretty happy about this.
I also got my notice that I’ve been invited into There’s [...]
Wow, I almost missed my evening post. That’d have been a crushing blow to my ego, considering I’ve done so well over the month. Now, onto real content.
It amazes me how the human mind works with emotion. Today I experienced a myriad of emotions, some of which are diametrically opposed, creating for a serious juxtaposition [...]
So, I thought that my grandma was doing well. I thought that they were just keeping her in the hospital until the pneumonia goes away. Then I get an IM from my cousin Hillary who tells me that my grandma’s surgery went well and that they got the feeding tube in. Surgery? Feeding tube? What?
Ugh. [...]
Boy, this is quite the sad development.
Rod Roddy, announcer on The Price is Right, passed away.
Taking a complicated form and converting it into an HTML form while trying to preserve the visual appearance can get really messy. While very clean in some ways, the piece of HTML I just wrote for work has to be one of the most convoluted pieces of HTML I’ve ever written. I have tables nested [...]
October 28, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsWell, once again it’s time for my evening post. It’s slowly becoming a new part of my daily routine.
Not to toot my own horn, but I’m impressed that I’ve consistently posted at least once (if not more) every single day this month. Yeah, a couple of those posts were basically “Tonight is a night I [...]
GamingFM – a music stream, featuring nothing but video game music. There’s some good game music out there. It makes for nice background music since there is rarely lyrics. It makes for nice music at work.
October 27, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsI highly recommend St. Germain to anyone who likes acid jazz. It’s very jazzy, more jazz influence than most other acid jazz artists. The sound is very nice and mellow but upbeat. I don’t know exactly how to describe it. I picked up both Tourist and Boulevard. I believe there is still one I’m missing, [...]
October 27, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsHave you ever watched some sort of entertainment and been left with this weird nervous feeling that you can’t conquer, where you feel really jittery and jumpy, with an upset stomach as an addition frustration with it all?
The latest installment in Alias finished and it’s got me all jumpy. Alas, will we ever know anything [...]
Texas-Fried Oreos, Anyone?
Yeah, so I like fried foods too, but not that much of them. Corn dogs and onion rings, fried chicken, okay. But fried Snickers bars? Fried twinkies? Fried Oreos? Just seems like too much to fry a dessert item. Then again, there’s something like fried ice cream over at Garduño’s, isn’t there? I [...]
I should have posted this last night, but I was lazy. That’s bad. At least I already had some posting for the day, otherwise I’d have broken my amazing streak.
Last night, Lisa and I went with Janelle over to Bennigan’s for dinner. I ordered some buffalo wings and a salad with some thousand island dressing. [...]
So, Apple released a new version of iTunes, one that doesn’t hose Windows 2000. I have a working copy of iTunes on my Windows XP system at work, so I’ve been dabbling with it and with MusicMatch Jukebox, and after some days worth of fun and experimentation, I’ve come up with some feelings regarding each. [...]
October 24, 2003Uncategorized2 commentsFor the first time just now, my buddy list on AOL Instant Messenger has developed a scrollbar on the right side. Considering I run at a resolution of 1280×1024 and have the bar taking up the full right-hand side of my screen, that means that I have way too many people in my buddy list. [...]
October 24, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsThis morning found us in an interesting situation. Normally I drive on Tuesday and Thursday, but today I had to take the trash, so Lisa drove over to the dumpster as I walked the trash. As I was letting her into her door, we noticed that the cover to our gas tank was open and [...]
October 23, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsA personal network, literally
I’d read about this yesterday, but received this article via email today. It’s quite the interesting read. This would make for a much more interesting network – you could call it peer to peer literally.
This is a picture of the heatsink that we pulled out of my stepdad’s old computer tonight in our attempt to clean and rebuild everything, so that Lisa has a fairly modern computer. Sorry for the poor picture quality, but my current digital camera is awful. The heatsink is composed of a series of metal [...]
October 22, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsBYU offering new degree in Scouting
That’s right, one can now get a Bachelor’s degree in Scouting education. According to the article, 10% of all Boy Scouts are LDS, but only 6-7% of the leadership of the Scouts is LDS. They’d like to bring the numbers up to match each other. Classes range from finances to [...]
What the heck kind of forecast is this? Within a few days we drop twenty degrees? That just seems messed up.
October 21, 2003UncategorizedNo commentsWell, I’ve spent most of the last few hours reinstalling everything at home. In some ways, it feels good to be putting a fresh install of everything on here, as now I’m back down to the essentials. At the same time, it’s frustrating because I’ve realized how much I had installed that I used on [...]
