So last night I was talking with Heather, and I made a statement in which I used the word "stature", and she thought that I should have used the word "status" so she corrected me. I did not argue with her at the moment because it was not important, but there was a voice in the back of my head that was telling me that I did use the word correctly ( Read more... )

Yes, LJ finally has allowed the basic account users to create their own style sheets for their pages. Now, I can finally make the small changes that I have been wanting for awhile. Instead of just being able to change colors and widths of columns, I can now change background images, set different sizes for different windows, and just the all ( Read more... )

Ah, the days of the dorms at college. What with going to those early morning lectures, studying all of your homework and getting done in time for that 10 o'clock bed time..it was just happy times all around. Ok! Who am I kidding.

Today and yesterday, the highs for the day were in the high 90's and in some places 100 degrees. It is so dishearten! Here I thought I left Kansas to get away from all of the sunshine and hot weather, and ( Read more... )

es, it is Friday. The last day of the work week. What does this mean for me? Well, two days of not having to get up at 6:30 am. That is at least a good thing. But I still have to get through today before that can happen. I will probably be spending the afternoon building a script to automate the job of installing some software that we will be ( Read more... )

That's right, I think I am going to revamp this WebLog. New job, new city, and poor lack of updates to the site has given me the opportunity to make this something better. I believe that I want to take this more towards the direction of sharing my interesting thoughts and occurrences from both work and life here, as well as share some of my ( Read more... )
