The past hour of my life (804kb) plays in 5 seconds. Perhaps a little too fast!
Ah…..
More rain! How pleasant! Heavy too.
Amy loudly “Rain rain rain rain!”
Good Cleaning
Yahoo! My initial goal is to help settle an account with a collector. I believe I have already paid but obviously the onus is on me to show that and I have become too disorganized to show those kinds of things. I am certain that in these past several years I have double or tripled my debt due to disorganization. I am also certain that I have been double and triple billed on some things.
Anyhow, in cleaning I found my CD of MS Security patches! Working on people’s computers just got easier!

My cat doesn’t appreciate my incense.

Student: Why am I compelled to help others when I cannot help myself?
Teacher: Are you sure you aren’t helping yourself?
A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa…
A New Day!

This Morning
I woke in a terrible panic but did manage to pull myself from bed 20 minutes earlier than usual.
Yesterday was all about other people’s problems. Even when I sat down at the computer and committed myself to 2 hours on a very specific task I failed to start the task and helped someone else instead. Mind you, it was rewarding in that I was problem solving and succeeding but nothing I did yesterday contributed to preserving the well being of my family.
This morning I could feel the stress building horribly so I woke the wife early. I don’t like doing that but I was going to crack. It is raining and I can’t get the dog to pee outside. I watch her and when she squats I run her outside but the kids don’t help. They are kids so they are oblivious to what goes on around them.
Ram Tough?
Since this is an edu and this wonderful tidbit is likely to disappear I’ve take the liberty of reproducing it here. I knew not how to contact the author so I give credit here.
It’s hard to read this without thinking "Dodge trucks are for pussi…"
Many of you are familiar with the “Tough Guy” image that truck companies try to create in their television commericals – with all the off-roading and drag-racing up hills with boats in tow (because there’s all that water at the top of hills)… Incidentally, most of what you see voids the warranty that comes with such vehicles… Anyway, I ask you how ‘macho’ a Dodge Ram can be when their emblem is basically the female reproductive system with nostrils:
I linked the Dodge emblem (on the right) to their site in case you want to buy a truck.
Bad Dad
Lost my temper with Noah. He needs a lot less of that and more love. He needs much more love!
Of Grasshoppers
Student: What is rain?
Master: The cleansing of the air, the cleansing of the mind, the cleansing of the soul, and the renewal of life…and the cause of much corrosion in New Jersey.
Peace
Ah! Rain…
One of the first things I am going to do when I have regular income is build a screened in porch.

Iraq Interior Ministry Says Report on Nukes ‘Stupid’
CIA insider whispers “that’s not where those are supposed to be planted, ‘stupid’.”
Geek Mode
This looks like a decent discussion of a weighted rotating banner system in ColdFusion. It looks similar to the one I wrote myself. I have the urge to review my code now and see if I need to make some improvements.
Plasma Mug
A gift from my brother-in-law (4mb d/l) I couldn’t figure out how to compress the video any better. Looks even cooler with coke in it! ThinkGeek.com
From the mouths of babes
So Amy has this bad diaper and Cathy declares “whew! What’s that smell?!” Amy replies, “Molly [the dog] did it!”
Other People’s Projects
So I get over to the inlaws and get the motion detecting light wiring finished rather rapidly. Spend some quality time with the father-in-law and on the way home hysterics erupt. Apparently he has called the mother-in-law urging her to get home–no other information. Her car breaks down and I quickly drop Noah and the trailer at the house to rush back to the inlaws house to find that the father-in-law has locked himself out. I drive him to the mother-in-law’s office to get the house key. She has already arranged to have the car repaired. I return father-in-law to his house. I call one recruiter for the status of one job – “they went the .Net direction,”
I am finally home light headed from hunger.
