Cool, see different sorting algorithms working. The first ones in the list are amazingly inefficient. The Improved Sorting Algorithm Demo

Take Back The Media Bush Knew – An American Requiem22

Some very poignant observations in this article. I have never thought that moving all the jobs overseas is a good thing, for one who are the companies supposed to sell to if everyone is working low wage jobs or not at all? And, of course, the health care system in the US stinks, sure those…

Capitol Hill Blue: A Tattered, Tarnished Flag

This long drawn out situation was finally resolved when I saw on my credit card statement a credit for the fee that was charged in February. Never once did the this company respond to my emails, they simply paid me back and hoped I would be quiet. Not likely. On the page where a question…

The kids insisted (Matthew mostly) and I certainly did not argue that we should see star wars episode 3 on the first day. So I ordered up the tickets and we went to the 9:30 am showing (the 9 am show was already sold out). It is nice going that early, people trickle in more…

A few years ago Kathleen had setup an account with a web host for her old church. The site worked but the support just stank so we moved the site to our current provider (page-zone). So I guess what I am trying to say here is that if you if happen upon these guys, run…

It’s been a while since I was here, not for a lack of topics, just laziness. sigh. Last Sunday Matthew finished up his concert season with SOGO. This was the sample of SOGO, a number of local restaurants bring in different foods and the groups play music for us while we eat. Quite nice although…

So I was watching the news the other day and the subject of marriage came up. There is currently a court case in this state which could invalidate the laws here that disallow gay couples to be legally married. What caught my attention was a comment by one who was against this happening, he said…

I like the giving those who may stop by here the chance to leave a comment, not many have but that’s OK. There is one person though who quite convinced that I should be playing poker. He has an automated script that runs through here and posts nearly everywhere that I should go play poker.…

It is nice that USC had such a large margin of victory in the Orange Bowl, this means that Dino Rossi will likely not be calling for the game to be replayed because it was too close. Although I did notice near the end of the game that it appeared that there were many more…

I just saw the end of the Orange Bowl, congragulations USC! What a great win. Nice to see a Pac-10 team win the national championship so convincingly. Now if only UW would get it together and make a challenge and be the top dog.

Sql Reporting Services A couple days in Seattle

I recommend four day weekends. I had Thursday off for Veterans day and I took a day of leave for Friday, quite nice and relaxing. Got quite a bit done too, we put up shelves in the office and utility room, washed a fair bit of clothes, cut the grass, cleaned and made bread. I…

Haven’t been here in a while. Here are some sites that I find useful: Tweak win2k settings Should work the same for WinXP

A while ago, probably about a year now, I purchased some ink cartridges from myinks.com (no link here because I don’t want to up their google ranking). At the time I did not think anything about the marketing messages they sent me since I did purchase something from them and may have even requested it.…

Character sheets for D&D can be found here. Matthew is interested in this, certainly something I would encourage since I wiled many an hour playing D&D with friends in high school and college.

Windows had the bad habit of remembering what used to be installed on a PC. This can sometimes cause confusion because you get multiple choices for a single device, i.e. I have a scanner that every time it gets plugged into a different USB port it creates a new device for it so that when…
