Some might have said that this shirt was spoilt by being inadvertenty dyed pink after someone wrote “Rag” on the back. But I said differently. And so, I suspect, would have Shakira, were she here, and were she mounting a presidential bid, perhaps with the Governator as her vice president. And as usual, I was [...]

I figure that probably the Haters who are harassing me today about the VT search don’t read this website. If they did, they might know a. that I consider a boss who does not bring donuts to be no kind of boss at all; and b. I worked all weekend on this thing, got it [...]
I’ve decided, and though I still believe it should be better represented on the web, I have had to change my color scheme to a much more attractive orange in order to preserve my sanity.
Unsurprisingly, things did not go precisely according to plan. They usually do not when I attempt home repairs, cooking, and arts-n-crafts projects. Things started to go wrong in the art store where in my state of advanced sleep deprivation I did not buy enough dye. When I got home I also discovered that you need [...]
With 21 hours to go, VT search is behaving, so is the google search component, and my glasses are strapped to my face with a piece of a cat toy. Who could ask for anything more?
Make Your Own Goggles From Broken Glasses
Published July 30th, 2006 in Daily and pearls of wisdom. 0 CommentsIf you’re like me, and I figure you probably are, you have had about 12 hours of sleep in the past 3 days while you try to fix VT Search. And coincidentally, your wife took your glasses with her to New York and she won’t be back until Wednesday. What to do? Despair? No. Because [...]
A few years ago I did some work for a company which sold things like gift baskets with certificates to spas inside them. One time they produced copy for one of the ads which said something like “For when you want an evening pamper!” I thought at the time that pamper wasn’t really a noun, [...]
Never Sleeping, Always Working Except When I’m Blogging
Published July 29th, 2006 in Daily. 0 CommentsSo as part of my innovative new inititative- NSAWEWIB- I would like to share some thoughts. 1. There is no Apple support forum for Nanosaur. Why? Don’t people need help with this program? 2. My powerbook has developed a dead pixel! Egad! 3. What is the purpose of a bluetooth mouse that is operational from [...]
I’m not really doing that, but I’m discovering new bits of hidden, messed-up code all the time. All the time! At least I have my tiger mouse with which to share this fabulous Saturday night of VT search bliss.
A lovely birthday present. Tiger mouse: check. Tiger operating system: check. Tiger car: check. Now I just need tiger knee socks and a kilt and I will be set.
We go to great lengths to prevent the dogs and cats from accessing the closet in this photo, the closet which houses the pet food as well as the always popular trash can. Our current method is to push the piano bench in front of the closet door before leaving the house. Today, I forgot. [...]
I’d like to point out that getting a Macbook might conceivably be more practical than lugging around two diminutive laptops. But I am impractical. It really does take 2 hours for changes to the Google search template to propagate. What a horror. And I still don’t know where the beastly gray lines in the search [...]
And immediately puts them back in because the little lady has taken them* with her to New York. *Them, of course, would be my glasses.
My wife’s out of town and I left work at 10:30, so obviously my next step is to turn on all the household electronics and start writing about it. Why do people feel compelled to tell you what they are consuming at a given time- who cares? But I will now fill you all in [...]
… so to speak, I may as well dither on about VT Search since I am apparently determined never to leave the office today. I’ve also met the night security guard and I like him. His name is RJK. RJK, if you are reading this- HOLLA. VT search is now rendering more or less OK [...]
