    It has been a while and I won’t be saying much tonight as it is getting quite late. I have been staying up too late and getting up early to go work, not a good combination. What a day at work, my server locked up, AGAIN. Third time in three weeks, it is getting tiresome.…

    A quick note before I go to bed. Been so busy lately I haven’t time to do the much it seems. We did get the yard whipped into shape last weekend, in some places the grass about 2 feet tall, that takes a while to cut down to size. We also planted about 6 trees,…

    Kid problems come and gone Computer problems sort of gone .Net programming Yard work

  • Microsoft’s hypocrisy

    I could go on here for a while if really tried but I won’t. My main point here is how MS has said all along the .Net is to be this great open architecture, everything can play together and won’t it be great. Turns out they were lying like a rug. First they patent the…

    I think that I am going to like this. Moveable type looks quite nice and much less complicated than php-nuke. Now mind you php-nuke is very nice product also but it offers much more than I currently require. All I want to do is keep some notes up here for my own use and hopefully…

    Been busy with many other things. Also avoiding this old slow machine, too much I am afraid though since I do need to get my java program going. I also am going to look at some different software for keeping this up. I like phpnuke but it sure is complex. A lot more here than…

    Another weekend come and gone. Not much computerish happened despite my having a big project to get done. I did get some bread made and pecan-cinnamon sticky buns (yum yum). Also made calzones yesterday for dinner, they were delicious. In fact, they were so good that Grant hated them and Matthew loved them, typically the…

    The days slip by so quickly. They are full days but I get home do stuff put the kids in bed and before I know what’s happened it is 11:30. Oh boy. Matthew had his soccer practice tonight and both boys will have games on Friday. Should be interesting, they are still playing by bunching…

    I meant to get back tomorrow, especially since it so much simpler now to put up comments. I just spent the evening messing around, did not get a lot done it seems. Lounged around a bit this morning, made waffles, yum yum. Then made some bread, a basic honey-wheat recipe and by this time it…

Got any book recommendations?
