This 4-Block World reminded me of the first training gig I did for my latest company, at this client. I saw Jesse White in an old episode of The Twilight Zone the other day, acting opposite Carol Burnett, of all people ( Read more... )

It's not like Russian users are trying to join my friends list, or like I'm on vacation or anything. In fact, life is about as interesting as this. I'm still trying to get my Tomcat service to work, still trying to stay out of sight and out of trouble, still trying to get my right hand to work. Very dull. Just like I like it. But I gotta check

...probably from watching the Braves lose. AGAIN. I should stop watching until they win. This is like watching the White Sox in the late 1960's, when they had great pitching and couldn't hit the side of a barn with a badminton racket ( Read more... )

The dentist saw me yesterday morning and decided that the crown on my back molar had disintegrated to the point that it had to be replaced. He didn't have time to do the work then, so I had to come back later and have the old one removed and a temp put on. Jaw's a little sore, but at least I can chew on that side without pain ( Read more... )

Actually, I did--I broke a crown on my back molar, and it's keeping me from chewing on that side. I'm off to the dentist tomorrow morning to see what they can do.

It's been real quiet workwise, so I've basically been standing around waiting for the phone to ring. And hoping I can hear the person on the other end when it does. I'm not overly happy with AT&T right now. I haven't been able to get to the Internet from my phone for a couple of weeks now, half of my calls sound like they're coming from the ( Read more... )

I spent the weekend unable to use the computer because a certain half-Siamese cat decided to knock the keyboard off the table, and it broke. So, I had to get a new keyboard yesterday, and since we spent the day reading at Starbucks and I came home and watched the ball game (Braves lost to the Angels despite an excellent complete game by Jorge ( Read more... )

Time sure flies when you're not doing anything productive...it has been really, really quiet the last couple of days. I should appreciate the time while I have it; things are going to get very busy toward the end of the month. They've approved the upgrade of the training servers to a 64 bit version of Windows, so they can add a whole lot more ( Read more... )

Mary and I spent the afternoon at Starbucks, because both of us desperately needed a change of scenery. I spent a good part of the time trying to figure out why a program that works fine crashes every time I try to start it as a service. Have I asked for help? Yes. Have I gotten any? No. I think I need to ask some different people. Maybe ( Read more... )
