"Murphy was an optimist!"

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMy posts usually don’t come anywhere close to the quality of Very Mom’s Garlic Shooting Vagina (certainly a novel approach to fending off vampires and husbands). I feel the need to slip into bathroom discussion.
For those of you that may not know this, boys pee standing up but they don’t have to. Girls pee sitting down but they don’t have to. (Device Free method)
Today I chose to stand. Now, speaking of pee I’ve been trying hard these past few days to convince the dog to use the grass instead of the hardwoods. Finally out of her cage she was feeling playful and carrying her tennis ball around to solicit a game of fetch.
I should mention one of the benefits of peeing while standing and public restrooms is the flies, cockroaches and other various moving targets that make it into the urinals. As a matter of fact, as a child my family would frequent a particular grocery store that had toys in the urinals which as liquid was applied would spin and land on horoscope type quotes or points.
Today my target rapidly became a tennis ball. First reaction wanted to be anger but came out as laughter. Second reaction was to question if I could flush that. Third was “do I wash it off?” And final reaction, after finishing my target practice, was to reach in, throw it away and wash thoroughly.

The Downside to Sex with Twins November 28, 2004 11:45 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAnd all this time I thought sex with twins was a male fantasy…
add a commentIt is a paternity suit that not even DNA testing can solve. A five-year-old boy may never know his father’s identity because his mother claims she had sex with identical twins at the time he was conceived.
Technical Issues November 28, 2004 10:56 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSo last night I finally went to bed after becoming seriously frustrated. I started to get my head around this object oriented undocumented mess and decided to create some hardcopy documentation but suddenly I could print without locking up ColdFusion Studio. Even notepad refused to print.
So I woke up thinking everything would be fine after a good reboot but still nothing would print. Finally I put some paper in the printer and everything worked out fine.

So Reagan got shot but didn’t actually die. Did this count? Or did he break the curse? Certainly there was no attempt on GW Bush during his first 4 years as the curse would have implied. So, does an article in today’s Knoxville News Sentinel explain that the curse has indeed happened to GW Bush?
Colombia: Rebels sought Bush assassination attempt
Colombia’s main rebel group asked followers to mount an assassination attempt against President Bush during his visit to Colombia last week, Defense Minister Jorge Uribe said. There was no evidence Saturday that rebels even tried to organize such an attack. Uribe told reporters late Friday that informants said the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia told followers to attack Bush during his four-hour visit last Monday to Cartagena, where he met with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.
Well, this article may not answer The Curse of Tecumseh question but it certainly tells us that Target is not GW’s supplier–looks like he goes straight to the source! ()

This Morning
Yikes! The holiday weekend is over. I’d planned 4 days of intensive programming. Where’d it go?! On the positive side it has been a great 4 days. I feel destressed and vibrant but let’s see how the rest of this day goes. I am also getting my head around this Object Oriented PHP but more on that later.
Today I have programming, dog school and more programming.

Target beats Walmart to the punch as first retailer to offer marijuana. I’m sure this link won’t hang around long and some Target IT person is sure to be on the chopping block. For prosperity I’ve save the HTML just for giggles but probably won’t put it up for fear of lawsuit. Before it is implied, no this is not done with photoshop. It is actually on Target’s real website.
If pot is not your thing, try some crack
Got the munchies? Here’s a cookbook.
There are two sexual related Target links but I’ll let you find those on your own.

add a commentArgh the frustration! November 27, 2004 2:28 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI can understand software developers becoming schizophrenic and affected with multiple personality disorders. We often have people attacking us for blame or “why doesn’t this do that?” and then we have such conflicting rules in our lives like “meet the impossible deadline but don’t neglect the documentation or quality.” One of my favorite quality assurance quotes is “9 women can’t make a baby in 1 month.”
My roots are in software quality assurance but I’m basically a developer now. I know why and how to document software but we all know that often budget ($) and time just don’t allow for the documentation and correct coding.
But it’s so infuriating when you have to take on a project that is undocumented and obfuscated! I’m on what should be a simple simple project but the previous developer went ‘include happy’ (that is, writing 5-25 lines of code in one file and including it in another but not reusing it anywhere else) and tried to write this object oriented. This project did not deem the need for object oriented code. I’m about to pull my hair out.

This Morning
Woke this morning, added wood to the fire, lost the battle with the puppy on housebreaking (it’s going to take 3 concentrated days of effort) and decided to settle on some programming. Allowed myself to get lost in some blogging. I’ve been wanting to do a followup post to Spy Journal Blog Tips “How do I change my cursor?” and succeeded in posting “Styling the Cursor“. Now I can settle in for a long day of programming.
I love this time of year! November 26, 2004 9:32 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI went out last night around midnight in jeans and no shirt to collect kindling for the fire. The air was crisp. The sky cloudless and the moon full or nearly full. I stood on the stump 2.5 feet of what was once a tree that must have stood 100 feet tall–that is until I climbed it and cut it down. Now there is a small clearing in my yard where I can stare up at the moon and see the leafless trees around me reaching up toward the sky as if they were placing the stars on the sky as decorations. There is a chill in the air but I am not cold. Nature’s energy abounds and brings serenity. The ground glows in the moon light and man’s modern contraptions and technologies seems unusual silent tonight. Nature itself is peaceful. Few dogs bark. The coons are not shuffling about. The hoot owl is silent and there is no drone of crickets. I breath in deeply through my nose and stare up at the moon to break the still air with a hushed “hello mother!” What a beautiful night.
Tonight is the same and I had to sit on the retaining wall of the driveway and simply enjoy and revel in nature’s beauty. I would enjoy a backwoods camping trip right now.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life
You heard right! On the Briefing on MediaWise Video Game Report Card (Nov 23) Unfortunately C-SPAN only keeps the video archive up for 15 days. It’s an hour long and exceptionally presented. The discussion is about how to keep “immoral” and violent video games out of our children’s hands. Although I do not agree with all their points, the speakers deliver their message very well. We have all been faced with our children asking to play Grand Theft Auto and we can deny them but what happens when their are at their friend’s house? It is up to us as parents to instill a sense of right and wrong in our children, an understanding of reality versus pretend, and to openly discuss with our children what we want them to do or not do with the choices we can expect them to need to make (games, sex, shoplifting, drugs, laws and so on). I enjoyed hearing David Walsh speak.

Woke cold. I’d let the fire die down but we still had enough coals for me to get it roaring again. The dog and I will do battle today and try to begin teaching her to go outside. I am now the only person in the house trying to train her and I haven’t put the right amount of time into her training so I will try to sqeeze in some training. I will try to work in some work on 3 different projects. At some time I need to go drywall this weekend as well as make repairs on my own house.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeWell we all went over to the inlaws and had a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn’t be beat then we headed over to the dump but the dump was closed it being Thanksgiving…whoever heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving…so we headed back to our house which closely resembles the dump.
We had a calm and relaxing Thanksgiving Day with the exception of Cathy’s grandmother falling, splitting her head open, getting 7 stitches, MRIs and CAT scans. Oh, our appliance curse followed us to the inlaws as their gas heater started making a peculiar sound and vented a lot of heat to the outside. We played Aggravation , Pokeno, built card houses and had a blast!
