*significant sigh*

So, last night, I'm at the dojo. Had a pretty good workout. Got to work with my absolute favorite 13 year old girl who kicks my ass on a regular basis (she's been doing judo for five years) and had a really good time. Apparently during class, my friend Carla (carpezz) sends me a message saying that she's hanging out at one of the ( Read more... )

Well, it's official. As of March 1st, I've let my old domain registration expire for www.gray-cat.com. I've had that domain name for six years, the last year of which it hasn't been in use. So, I decided it was time to let it go. There were about three major versions of the website (the first one was pretty hideous, but my Mom liked them all) ( Read more... )

For the love of my sanity, I need help. Does anyone here know (or know someone that does) XML and XPath really really well (probably Infopath too)? I'm hip deep in The Land of Not Going Anywhere on this project ( Read more... )

This just in. Wendy's has brought back their spinach chicken salad. Looks like I get to eat healthy for a while again.

That is all.

I'm back from vacation now and back on the job. Man, it feels like the week (and a half) just flew by. I had an absolutely spectacular time, even though I didn't get to spend as much time hanging out with Jon as I wanted. There were roughly 5999 other people out there that I got to meet and party with ( Read more... )

First of all, I'd like to say that nothing pisses me off more than when a song that you know and really like comes on, and you try to sing along with it, but it's some stupid dance remix and the timing is all fucked up. I hate that ( Read more... )

The article ( Read more... )

Okay, this is such a minor rant that I'm almost embarrassed to bring it up, but my inner geek won't shut up about it until I say it.

I'm currently studying up on using InfoPath 2003 to work with SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (work related studying). I have sitting in front of me Beginning InfoPath 2003 by Wrox Publishing and in the intro, where ( Read more... )

Last week was a blast. I really enjoyed my vacation out in Vegas/Arizona. Jon and Amanda are, in real life, just like they are online. dracodragontk and I were treated like family, in true Italian style. We were fed way too much food (and good stuff at that) and had no complaints to speak of ( Read more... )

You ever hear of the saying that a friend will help you move, but a real friend will help you move a dead body? I can beat that. A real true friend is one that is willing to drop $760 on roundtrip tickets to fly you and your brother out to their neck of the woods just so they can spend an extra three days with you ( Read more... )
