Leave My Clock Alone!

Just incase you missed it, the morons on The Hill decided to extend daylight saving time by four weeks as part of a sweeping energy bill.

one of the sponsors, said, "The beauty of daylight savings time is that it just makes everyone feel sunnier."

What drugs are these people on?!

Under the measure, clocks would be turned forward an hour on the second Sunday of March and turned back the first Sunday of November. Currently, daylight saving time runs from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. The extension would become effective one year after the enactment of the energy bill.

Wow! I finished something!

I just finished a project. This is going to be a technical showcase piece for me. Valid css, valid html, very semantic, well documented, database driven, client front-end, client backend (password protected area), employee backend, with a shopping cart. I’m quite pleased although I could continue tweaking it until days end (such is the way of a perfectionist). I don’t often find it appropriate to blog work related items. Work like this comes to me by designers that have worked with their clients to create the desired look and feel and a light specification. I then take that artwork and turn it into the html layout, build the database design, tighten up the specification and so forth to create a functioning web application. Much fun!

One chance

Once upon a time
I was feeling fine
Delusioned, crazed
And heart ablaze

What ruined me?
Visa, Mastercard
“Charge please”

What was my downfall?
The need to please.

What brought me to my knees?
Caffeine
Simulated ADHD.

And how did I cope?
Fraternization
And fermentation.

What now?
I break
I’ve broke.
