Reality Me

Looks like someone has been making postcards! You will probably want to click and release your mouse wheel then drag the mouse pointer down slightly to use the autoscroll. I should be mean and say something like “that last picture was funny!” I actually went to the end to see if there was any joke as the last picture (something I would personally do). I doubt many other people will make it all the way through. Enjoy!

Looks like one of these postcard pics was used for the famous “Everytime you masterbate God kills a kitten” picture.

Since the topic came up, here is a must watch anti-masterbation commercial No nudity. Worksafe with the exception of the word “masterbate” being spoken repeatedly.

The cat has failed to catch its prey. My Hunt (amz) has begun. The evident of mice in the kitchen is disturbing. Time to eliminate the rodents without hurting the toddler, cat, dog or curious 8 or 14 year old. I give the 11 year old enough credit to stay away from the traps.

Mommy Matters has an exceptional letter. I give it a must read!

This Morning

I worked through the night! And it felt great! I am no more tired this morning that I typically am.

I am trying to figure out why TN Lottery Results is not getting ranked by google. By the documentation and FAQs I’ve been reading it is possibly due to a lack of external links to the page. The blog is not ranked possibly because they think the page is a “landing page” or “doorway page” for TN Lottery Results.

I’m having too much fun with Google’s Adsense right now. I just added the skyscrapper to the left to try for a day or two. I already think it looks too obnoxious. I have a total redesign for this blog coming soon anyway. I don’t want to turn the blog into a large advertisement.

I’m a reference person. I realize that the biggest difference between my ColdFusion experience and my PHP experience is a pocket reference. Granted, I have years of ColdFusion over PHP so there is a greater familiarity but as much as I like searchable online documentation I still have an affinity for a paper reference.

Time to shop O’Reilly’s.

Tonight my relationship with everybody permanently changed.

I don’t know what sins I committed in past lives but they must have been some doozies. I sure would like a hint as to when my penance will be paid.

I can’t believe how physically exhausting talking can be. Today has been a series of long phone calls with coding between. I need a nap.

Anyone have a good source for cost effective monitors? I figure it will be a sale at Office Depot, Stapes, Best Buy or CompUSA. No, I really wish we had a Frys.

The solution: When using multiple logins with Windows98 this error occurs after logging off one user and logging on another user. The solution is to restart the computer between logins.

This Morning

Woke at 2:30 rearing to go. I had so much energy that if I knew where my running shorts where I was tempted to jog around the neighborhood. I was excited that I was dressing to go program for a few hours. Then it happened. The sirens song wafted into my ear. My wife’s call was too strong and I returned to bed only to rise sporadically until 5:30 when I started my day.

Uncomfortable phone calls scheduled for today.

Fuel line split in the car. You know..50 cents worth of fuel line but this car with all of its sundry dealer specific options has managed to create dealer only part out of the fuel line and rings in at $291.18 and thats the part only!

Great. Now the cable is out. How am I supposed to work without the Internet?! How do I pay for things if I can’t work?!

Tis a sign. Let’s fix some things. I will read about the fuel line repair. That is the highest priority. Then the garbage disposal.

Alright. Since I started drafting this I’ve jacked the car up and inspected the fuel leak. Looks like road debris got the line. The repair will involve removing the entire fuel tank and the shop can’t see us until Wednesday. Seeing how the part is $300 alone I bet that repair comes close to $1000. So I thought for safety I should rent a car. To get one that fits us will cost $550 for a week. Don’t forget the garbage disposal just went out and that $99-150 and if we wait too long things will begin to smell. Oh, and then there are the chilly nights with no heat pump (think anywhere from $300-3000). And I’ve been budgetting $800 to finish the french drain. And then there is urgent dental work which may be $1500-2500. Another project is being budgetted at $400 per month until it can be paid. And I want to replace our vehicles with a new one and I anticipate that to be $700-800 per month plus some cash ($2000-3000) down.

I’m going to go hide in bed.

I really would like to take today off.
