I know that there are hard things in this life. Giving up a baby for adoption, seeing a loved one leave on a journey, being separated from your significant other… Now I’m not saying that these things are hard and a terrible thing to experience, but in my experience there is nothing harder than getting […]

I don’t know about anyone else, but I take as absolutely little time at the cash register as possible. When I left home to hit the pet store to get some cat food (lest I be eaten sometime in the night for lack of an alternative) I expected to go in, and come back, with

So a bit of playing with format and color. Wonder if it sucks. I’m planning to lock myself in my house this weekend with the absolute minimum of human contact so I can code, code code. Work on both work work and fun work (esp since P2P seems to have some people interested in it).

Maybe Survivor doesn’t completely suck. If you think of it as a giant game where the point of it is to win, by any means needed, like in the game Diplomacy, then it’s only mildly nausiating to watch. Which I did, along with about 19 billion other people, last night. It was a Geek Survivor

I was in bed at 11:30, but thought to myself “I can be creative, what is this sleep thing?” So I came out and made some changes and additions. Hope you enjoy. I had a(nother) dream last night. It was…. strange. Probably more so in that I remember it still. I was in an apartment

Lots of sleep, though a lot of it was restless. Not enough to deal with 40+ hours of uptime though. Enough to give me a weird dream though…. It was after the LWE show and I decided to go to Newark (though I have no clue where Newark is, in my dream it was located

Well with all the episodes, and all the changings of tapes and such, the start at midnight last night (23 hours ago) was fine, but we were only 2 episodes into season 7 when I left. I got to see almost all that I went there to see… that is everything 🙂 Only thing I

Well, the day (Friday) is almost over and I’m back from LWE. I actually got back on Wednesday and just have been a slacker (still) about updating. However, you can read all about my adventures here [archive.org link – why am I needing links for my own site?!]. I’m about to head out to Cat5’s

Happiness is mod_perl, php, mysql, HTML::Embperl and DBI all playing nicely togeather. Not so nice was waking up to cat-barfing sounds. However, all is not totally lost, I get to head out to the Linux World Expo in San Jose with SilverStr, who very nicely invited me along. I’ll probably hang out with people in

Well, thus ends a nice long weekend. Saturday was spent hiking in Golden Ears with friends, followed by Dogma [archive.org link] (again) and hotdogs. Sunday I did… uhm…. nothing. Got some perl/database stuff going on the server so that I can start things (still). Today we LANned over at Cat5’s place (I kicked ass… what
