So many new things...
So I wasn't able to get back to the blog before the week of New Year's Eve/Day ended; big surprise, I know. Sorry about that. I am trying to be better about this stuff, I promise I am. It's not that I don't care, or that I think y'all don't care... I just seem to forget; I get caught up in other things that take my time and attention away; it just ( Read more... ) -
A Great Christmas (Carol)
I've not been very good at this blogging thing, have I? I know it's not New Year's Eve just yet, but it's less than 24 hours until it is... So I'll consider it close enough; besides, the way I am this may be the only post you get before 2009! *lol ( Read more... ) -
Why should we care what they think?
To Lindsay Lohan, Chevy Chase, Brad Pitt, and all the other Hollywood "personalities" who think you're so important just because you're a "personality;" Go blow it out your butt! Nobody thinks you're better than us "common people." Nobody needs you to inform us on what is important and what is not. Let's face it, Ms. Lohan, you're not exactly ( Read more... ) -
Tonight's "Two and a Half Men"
Ok, so this evening has been unusual to say the least. I was expecting company tonight, which never showed up - but that's ok. I had some "complications" this afternoon and wasn't entirely ready when I was expected to be so the additional time is something a reprieve for me.
But what was really unusual was the end of tonight's "Two and ( Read more... ) -
What a WILD weekend...
Well the college football season has been the best (and among the worst) I've seen in a long while. Not only is there a much better spread of talent across the nation than ever before, but the "worst" thing (the BCS bowl system) looks even more useless and bogus than ever! Yes, I've said it before, and I am STILL saying it. We'll see Missouri and ( Read more... ) -
Almost finished
Well things have been going quite fast around here... We've got a lot of things done around the house since we "finished" construction in April...

How good is Ask.com's "superior" algorithm?
So I have been seeing those really retarded Ask.com commercials boasting their new search engine (they've retooled how their searches are polled through their database) and the "most powerful algorithm on Earth." Quite bold words. I decided, tonight, on a whim to test them on a simple concept. I have seen the silly little "This will be the day that ( Read more... ) -
Nifty new theme
Well I finally decided to change the theme here, and I was happily surprised to find they had a purple one! YEA! Purple is my favorite color, so I figured I'd use this for a while. I am actually thinking about making my own, since I am fairly well versed in CSS positioning and layout control now - and that's what these all use by the looks of it. I ( Read more... ) -
Safari troubles and triumphs
Well I had some trouble with Safari, apparently the installer has a method of scanning for the fonts you have installed and compiles a list of them (in XML) so that you can tell the browser what font(s) to use - a handy thing. However, on my laptop (which is soon to be a Linux machine again- but for now isn't) the fonts titles and actual file names ( Read more... ) -
Surfin' Safari Style
Well this comes as a surprise to me - but then I don't know why. It seems Apple is doing just about everything to get their software into everything in the Windows world - and oddly Microsoft seems ok with this. Odd, but interesting ( Read more... )
