add a commentFunctionality added to CompleteLottery.Info August 26, 2005 8:30 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeIt doesn’t validate. It doesn’t look that great. It is not what I would use as an example of my codign. It is not what it is intended to become. But, instead of sitting stagnant, CompleteLottery.Info now has functionality. If you have a lottery related website or want a directory of lottery related websites, CompleteLottery.Info now allows to you add and list sites by state for lottery related information in the United States.
add a commentToday’s Stressors August 26, 2005 8:01 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeIt’s Friday. This weekend I take the boys to Camp Buck Tom’s and upon our return I go to a lengthy scout leadership meeting. My current list of stressors:
- Finish and deliver work to client 1
- Return call to prospect
- Make presentable progress on client 2
- Troubleshoot a problem for client 3
- spend 3-4 hours on something I am neither prepared for mentally or materially which could lead to a major life changing event
- Make progress on the financial paperwork because 1 week ago I was supposed to be talking to my Uncle and I can’t even find the letter with the phone number I’m supposed to call
- Balance the books
- Send invoices
- Work on family computers (wife’s and 2 children’s)
- Clean house
- Grocery shopping
- Pack for camping
- Make sure I have enough money for gas to and from Camp Buck Tom’s
- Email client 4

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMy linux harddrive is failing in a bad way. If it dies, doing my linux/php development becomes a bit more challenging! Granted, I’d prefer to be doing CF.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI have one child that refuses to accept my time management lessons and lacks organizational skills. Of course, perhaps I’m not the best teacher or example. I like the Franklin-Covey system based on Stephen R. Covey’s First Things First (book) ( the cd version
is great too ).
Today this child decides to sleep in then at the last minute explains that she is taking her roller skate shoes and requests I fix a mechnical problem with one of the wheels.
My first inclination is to say "a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine" and tell her that I cannot do it. But this is a sweet child and I want to come to her aid. No! NOOOOoooo! Not the puppy dog eyes!
Let’s see if I can come through and get this wheel fixed.
Update: Shoe fixed.

I’ve been banned. August 25, 2005 8:25 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMy wife has declared that I am no longer allowed to go to PTA meetings, Open Houses, Parent Orientations, or other similar group functions. The middle school declared this an open house, and last year it was in the true sense of the word with leisurely student guided tours of the building and impromptu discussions with the teachers, but instead put on a scheduled orientation with a 30 minute meeting in the auditorium and then an hour+ presentation in the classroom by all the team’s teachers. So when one teacher addressed how makeup work would be done in conjunction with absenses and cited "obviously if they are out for a week having an appendix removed we are going to work with them" I chimed up and asked "so how many times can they use the appendix excuse?" I miss being a student 🙂 My wife feels I’ve lost my mind.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThanks to Michael’s August Challenge my google ads to the right have turned down right cheery! Currently showing for me are:
add a comment"A Positive Attitude Is Everything. Become Positive and Powerful with this Free new system,"
"Feel good about yourself.Surround yourself with positive, Christian people. Learn how."
and
"Why aren’t you happy? The reason’s simplier than you think. Find out the answer at Paul’s tips."
