Weird, MT just ate my post about being sick 🙁 Anyway, yea, been sick since Monday night, I’ll leave the details light, as you really don’t want to know what was going on internally. Needless today I haven’t slept “normally” since then, though today I feel mostly human again, though the tummy is still rumbling […]
I did this a couple of years ago and got most of the stuff on the list…. well, mostly bought it myself years after the fact, but hey, here’s a snapshot of the materialistic side of me, Alan’s Christmas Wish List 2006! Second (or third) 20.1″ LG LCD monitor for the desk. I have one

So somehow last night we managed to get more than 50% of the 5 vehicles we had here stuck in the snow in one form or another. At one point we had a landrover at the top of the driveway pulling a red 4×4 stuck in the driveway while pulling a white truck that was

Today I hit the big 3-1. Yikes. Not quite time to get myself a red sports car and go budgie jumping just yet though.

Welp, Halloween came and went with nary a growl. Sounded like most of the kidlings showed up before I got home last night, and there were only 3 or 4 that showed up after I got back. None of them looked like they were as cute (or appropriate) as Sillz’s son, shown there dressed in

FireflyMom was over today keeping herself busy by helpfully working on the deck. She’s the only one that really knows what’s going on with it to be honest. Anyway, somewhere along the way she helped Firefly install a cat door at the front entrance. I got home and began the training as I have done
Long long ago, when I was…. maybe 12 or so, so around 1987, I really don’t remember, I created a time capsule. For some reason it popped into my head today that maybe it was time to open it. It’s a pretty lame time capsule if I remember right. I had a cookie tin or

Google recently released their code search engine, as you may or may not know. Just for fun, I googled myself. Most of the (few) entries were expected. A couple of mentions for bugs I posted, and some for minor contributions to a couple of projects. There are two I am a bit stumped on though…
