Noah rises. A door bangs. The baby cries. Tommy snores.

The air conditioning unit sits smack dab in the middle of the house within the garage. Ever since I busted the garage door too much outside air makes it into the garage creating much condesation on the unit. It has a pump that collects the condensation and pumps it 30 feet to the outside of the house. It is a total abnoxious setup and the pump has gotten to such a state that it runs all the time now.

Well, I think last night it may have died. Which is good in that we won’t hear its horrid noise all the time. But bad in that I may have a water problem to contend with quite shortly. Fortunately, I have already contrived a solution. To my wife’s chagrin it may involve tearing out a piece of wall!

A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa… July 30, 2004 7:24 am

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

My brother and his wife will appreciate that I am listed on Chiropractic Blogs!

I like numbers. So I woke up this morning at 4:44 and then again at 6:06. I should have stayed up at 4:44 of course.

Anyhow, today’s focus is purely programming. I want to make major headway on my european project.

Today is the last day for early voting so I must get that done so I’ll have to take some time to look up some issues and make sure I’m thinking correctly rather than thinking what I’ve been told.

Took Tommy to STAR and on the way North Shore was flooded so I had to re-route us but still managed to take back roads almost to Lenior City. I love back roads! I really enjoy rural TN. It’s interesting when a tree is down across a road or it is flooded around here because you get this long backup of traffic in one direction then have an occasional car drive by the other way. Seems no one ever thinks, “at this time of day shouldn’t more cars be coming?” Of course, the only way to discover what is truly going on is to drive to the point of the closure and turn around to become one of those few cars going the other way that no one thinks to question. Well I question them now!

While Tommy got some horse riding in, Amy, Cathy, Noah and I played on playground. I demonstrated to the 8 year old some climbing techniques that had mom frowning and will have my back aching later. Amy only got kicked in the face once. She is so tough and plays so hard and tries to keep up with the big kids so much that she constantly looks abused. Between Tommy and Amy I am sure we will have an interview with DCS one day.

Ended the evening with a unique pleasure! A very good friend of mine looked me up and we chatted in length. He even suggested an employment opportunity that will require some deep thought and heavy consideration. I could have talked the rest of the night. It really makes my day when old buds find me or I find them. In our crazy adult parental lives it is so easy to become so egocentric that you begin feeling alone and without friends. Of course, communication and maintaining friendship is a two way street and I don’t even stay in touch with my family enough much less my friends.

Time to hunker down to some coding. I had promised the wife some quality time tonight. I’ll have to rain check for tomorrow.

2 psuedo-marketing emails sent

appointment scheduled with ITT Technical Institute admissions. I need to get paper from somewhere. I’d like to have a degree from UT but ITT or Devry will have to do. My ego doesn’t like it. I feel they are 2nd hand but its better than buying a fake one. Perhaps my impression will change after I visit them on Tuesday.

Domain name transfer requests along with all email, ftp etc information compiled for 5 domains and sent. That will both save $129/mth and allow me to turn on the heat with my http://www.sidesigns.com and http://templates.sidesigns.com sales.

Resume and letter of introduction sent to a recruiter in Washington DC.

It’s that time of the day. The part of the morning where the decision about what to do next influences the total outcome of this day.

My mind races!

-Finish documenting email addresses, ftp information etc for domain transfers

-Send nasty gram to Sears DNC Request

-Call my state representative to start pushing fair credit/collections laws (I know..there are some out there but Joe Public doesn’t know their rights)

-Continue reconciling accounts and bills in MS Money

-Program

-Social Networking

-Sales calls for Content Monkey

-Submit Resume(s)

-Update Dice, Monster, Linked-in and other online job tools

so much more..

I promised to get a piece of code working in the next 5 hours but I’m dead tired and the code is cryptic and undocumented. Ugh!
