Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeLeaves have blown up against the sliding glass door and are moving with the wind so the cat has taken guard position by the door and is manically batting at the glass to scare off the leaves. The door is loose in the frame so it makes this funny thumping noise as she does it.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeOne of my favorite sites is SlickDeals.net (even has its own rss feed). Now I’m adding Woot.com! As this article explains, woot.com lists a new item (and ONLY 1 item at a time) at midnight 5 days a week. The item is available until it is sold out. There are no people to talk to, no customer service, etc. Just great deals.
Found another one: http://www.dealtaker.com/
And another: http://www.ecoupons.com/
And another: http://www.shopping-bargains.com/
And another: http://www.dealcatcher.com/
I still encourage you to do your Amazon shopping here.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeTime to regroup. Do I switch from impossible task 1 to impossible task 2 or stick with impossible task 1? Or do I take a stress break with near impossible tasks A, B, C, or D?

Mini-series in my head December 13, 2004 5:06 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI love recurring dreams, particularly the ones that are not identical but are set in the same scenerio.
For instance, last night I had a dream in full techicolor where I’m walking around in a parking garage. I run into some others that are very frustrated because they can’t figure out how to get out of the garage. I am able to lead them out because I’ve been here before but it’s not just that my character in the dream “has been here.” I literally have dreamed this parking garage and this city before but on a different topic.

This Morning
Made some great coding progress yesterday but its just not enough. To do the quality of work I like to do I just need some more time. I’m kicking myself so hard right now! On the positive side, it is 3:45am and I’m up and going!

add a commentDead Fish Swimming December 12, 2004 9:13 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life
This beta fish is incredible. It actually has personality! I found this glass container at AC Moore roughly 3 years ago for something like $6 and the plant at Bi-Lo for $4 and the fish for $3 or so. I thought Sarah would really enjoy it and she has.
I’d seen a cheap plastic version of this type of tank for $19.95 so for less money I put together a better quality fish bowl myself. I was told to expect the beta to live approximately 2 years if well cared for. I would not say that we always take the best care. For instance, I should have taken this picture 10 minutes later as the water is no longer as cloudy as it is in this picture. The fish is regularly fed and has lived nearly 3 years!
Frequently it is so still in the tank that Cathy and I have each announced “time for a new fish” but then we move the plant and it swims off. I do recall being told “it likes to hang out in the roots of plants.” I am sure it was resting peacefully and we probably scare some life out of it each time we do that but it is so hard not to check on the fish when it goes so long without moving!
