Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeWhoa! Microsoft and Yahoo to Link IM Networks "Users will be able to exchange text messages, PC-to-PC voice chat."
Their partnership suggests that Microsoft and Yahoo may have set their eyes on higher advertising revenue based on a larger aggregation of instant messenger users
Google has put fear into them!
add a commentI’m a winner! November 14, 2005 7:57 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI almost forgot! I won my first Blingo prize! I won a movie ticket and since I signed up under my wife she won a movie ticket! A note: Be careful about who you sign up under as a single household can only claim 2 prizes a month meaning Cathy and I are done for a month. She could have rolled the dice and not claimed the movie ticket but we thought a date on Blingo was not bad. They offered an alternative prize of $10 to iTunes. The prize just before mine was an IPod Shuffle!
Sign up under me or under my wife and lets win together! There is no catch or obligation and it doesn’t generate spam. Blingo returns the same results you would see by searching google but they add some Adsense ads at the top and bottom of the results which is how they make their money.
add a commentIs the Navy recruiting in the elementary schools? November 14, 2005 7:24 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMy 4th grader just said, "Dad, did you know that if you get one of your degrees in college and join then Navy that the Navy will pay up to 75% for your 2nd degree?" He explained that someone from the Navy came to his school and showed them pictures of ships. To me this just seems like a very wrong type of recruitment ploy but I suppose the thought has to be planted at sometime. If people don’t join our military, we will have to have mandatory service or a draft.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeDoes anyone have any experience with Blogger’s API? I’m running into problems trying to implement it in PHP and could use a second eye. And this example has not worked.

What is in that head?! November 14, 2005 5:50 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMorning comes and I’m up before the sun.
You know that dream where you are walking around naked and don’t really know why. Last night I dreamed I walked into a convenience store and the guy behind the counter was uncomfortably naked. He was sitting on a stool and trying to hide behind things to make it less evident he was naked. I didn’t say it to him but had this comforting thought, "Ah! Good. I’m not the only one that forgets to wear clothes."
The dream was far more complicated than that and in technicolor but that certainly a highlight. Time to get to work.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI so look forward to the end of my days
When at last I can lay myself to rest.
In darkness troubles are so few
And if allowed peace comes to you.
No conflict for the calmed spirit.
Muscles relaxed without burdens.
Nothing new for the mind.
And plenty, plenty of time.
The Day’s journey beats us up.
In the end there is no reward
Aside from the comforting thought
That you burden no one more.

add a commentBaby Signs November 13, 2005 10:38 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI think Evan is nearing that age where he can start communicating through sign (amz)
Cathy and I prefer to teach ASL over made up signs but are flexible enough to adapt to Evan’s own choices. The trick is to pick a single sign, like banana, and use it until the child learns it then add another sign. Trying to teach too many signs at once will only lead to frustration. With Amy it was very nice to know that she wasn’t just hungry but that she wanted a banana or apple juice before she could speak.
We highly recommend Baby Signs (official site – and it’s using ColdFusion! albeit with the horrid Fusebox methodology).
