Tom’s occasional rambling thoughts

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 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.…
