When I saw the first reports of the Shuttle Disaster on the web this morning I was sure that it was a mistake, and they were talking about the anniversary of the Discovery disaster 17ish years ago, and they got the date wrong, or I did, but no. I’m sure you can find all the […]

I’m not sure what it is about karma coming back to bite or kiss you in the posterior area, but it seems to be flooding back my way nicely. Not only do I have 3 days a week work, plus two other projects on the side, but today I got a call from one of

Just in the middle of some mod_perl programming for my design contacts. One of the contracts I did work for them a while back has come back with some changes and enhancements, so I am doing that for them, of course 🙂 It’s nice to be back to this project, my code is mostly readable,

To all that asked, my ride on a horse with a name went well. Clyde was a big ass Clydesdale whose body size was a bit wrong for his legs. He looked like a very big, sort of stretched, weiner dog. Anyway, the ride went well, and my instructor (that’d be Firefly) did well, teaching

What a bizzare and horrible night. It was one of those nights when you can’t sleep and everything is conspiring to keep you from having a good night’s sleep. I met up with NateFlex at the gym last night and we did a shoulder workout, so that didn’t help. The cats decided they were going

Corny looks up at me and mews, so I look back at him, and mew back. I decide that he may be trying to communicate, so I follow him around. We circle the kitchen, then head back to the living room and head to the cat post, which he hops onto to receive petting. I
