I’m here in Iowa at the hotel, in the business center. They have a broadband connection here, so I decided that I’d do a quick email check before bed, and then I decided to do a blog entry. Even though it’s almost 11pm here, I decided it’d be okay to do this. I’m expecting a [...]
May 30, 2004Uncategorized1 commentI’m going to be out of town for the next few days, and while I could probably do a blog-by-email with my phone, I haven’t set it up yet. I’ll probably be uploading a lot to the moblog though, so keep an eye there. I doubt I’ll have time tonight (or the desire) to set [...]
May 28, 2004Uncategorized3 commentsSo, Qwest is our standard local phone service provider. There are some other tiny companies that do it, but generally, if you have a land line, you go with Qwest. Being a company that likes to make money (as most companies do), they tend to send out advertisements now and again. It’s understandable, and I [...]
May 27, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsSitting here and watching roughly over 219,000 lines of text get processed into database records isn’t that much fun. Work has been a lot of data import lately, which is interesting to debug, but once it’s working and you have to just sit and wait for half an hour, it’s a little tedious.
I’m posting in [...]
Today is Lisa’s birthday. Happy Birthday babe!
Today was an okay day at work – nothing to rave about, but not really much to rant about either.
Tonight we went over to Lisa’s parents’ house for a great meatloaf dinner for her birthday. They bought her some really nice stuff, as well as this Mr. Wonderful Doll. [...]
A couple of posts back, I mentioned joy that WordPress had support for Markdown out of the box. While I was glad that this support was there, I was noticing a bit of site lag. It turns out that it was adding roughly a tenth of a second per post in terms of processing. That’s [...]
May 24, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsThis weekend was great. Lisa and I saw Shrek 2 with Nasser and Deszarae on Friday night, after having some pizza at a local place called Poppi’s. Good food, good company, great evening.
Saturday saw us visit our gym, specifically the outdoor pool in the back. I have a bit of a sunburn on my shoulders [...]
So, yeah, I’ve moved from Movable Type to WordPress. I’m using a generic-ish CSS that I’ve snagged from Alex. I like the look of it. I still need to go back and edit these entries that contain images, since things have moved a bit. I know I’ve just caused a TON of linkrot, but at [...]
May 21, 2004Uncategorized1 commentSo, my friend Mark posted a link to a page that should tell you what celebrity you look like. Here are my results after three tests with three images:
Dennis Bergkamp, Clint Eastwood, Rutger Hauer
Jimmy Smits, Gene Hackman, Paul Simon
Paul Simon, Stanley Tucci, Erik Palladino
Paul Simon is there twice – makes me kind of sad.
May 19, 2004Uncategorized1 commentOkay, one last thing to mention about the cell phone — it turns out that textamerica does have support for Sprint (albeit with some fighting on their end), so I’ve set up a personal moblog. Right now there’s just a couple of pictures, and I might continue to use the service, since it’s free and [...]
May 10, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsSo, as noted in a post yesterday, I’ve got a new cell phone. I haven’t gotten a new cell phone in a number of years, so it’s very nice to upgrade.
For any interested parties, the phone I now have is a Samsung A620, which goes by a multitude of other technological monikers, including the Samsung [...]
I’m posting from my new cell phone – fun! More later on the phone.
May 9, 2004Uncategorized3 commentsSo, I got accepted into the Movable Type 3.0 beta. It’s a much slicker appearance, and the bold, italics, and underline buttons work now, as does the URL, so I can more easily create links. I’ll probably stick to just typing by hand now, or maybe get a nice plugin that lets me use wiki [...]
May 6, 2004Uncategorized1 commentMan, I really need to get into a better habit. Here goes.
Lisa is out of town all week. She’s in Florida for some uptraining. I really miss her. It feels funny to not have her next to me in the bed. There’s only been a couple of times in the past we’ve been apart, and [...]
