Afternoon watch, 7 bells (3:49 pm)
Today is my father-in-law's birthday, happy birthday!
Forenoon watch, 3 bells (9:33 am)
I've got to get several more functions and Qt Signals hooked up so I can meet my Monday deadline. I've been working on this program all weekend, off and on. I did manage to squeeze in an Invader Zim marathon. Still considering a Firefly marathon too.
First watch, 8 bells (12:03 am)
- Well it's about time to turn in. First I'll read some more, though. #
- It's shaping up to be another evil spring day here. My allergies are killing me when it's like this. #
- Getting hungry. Breakfast was a long time ago #
- Working hard. Anticipating the next can of diet pepsi, my beverage of choice
# - Had to drive Lorien to the airport earlier. Her plane should have just taken off from Spokane #
- Writing a complicated SQL query to mine some data #
- Ack this thing is KILLING me. Not finding any good solution... #
- Stupid 2^16 row limit in spreadsheet programs. When you need 500k rows, where do you go? Looks like another C++ program for me... #
- Just got off the phone with the big boss. His new home network router uses the same IP address scheme as our corporate network.
# - It's Boom Blox Block Party time!!! #
- Lorien just called, her plane landed in Houston a few minutes ago #
- Boom Blox Bash Party is pretty fun! Played solo game for about two hours last night. #
- Last night had a dream that I moved in to a new house and it already had a bunch of garden gnomes so I didn't have to buy any. For The Win!! #
- Finally cut all ties with Verizon. Man I hate them #
- They tried to "make my service cheaper," like it would matter #
- I hate any service you regularly have to call in and complain to make it "cheaper." Give me your best rate or take a hike... #
- Going from phone+768k DSL for $98/mo (ouch!) to 3Mb standalone DSL for $38/mo #
- My favorite plastic bag warning images, together on the same bag http://yfrog.com/12mxgj #
- Microsoft offering free 1-year TechNet subscription (and downloads!) to IT pros: http://tr.im/nd4b #
- Won another #munchkin game, this time with Booty 2 add-on. Andrew @sjgames answered a death-related question so I didn't die AND lose 2 lvls #
- Also, I ordered some #munchkin sets from Warehouse23 today. Saves the drive to Spokane, plus maybe they'll throw in some promo cards... #
- My brother is coming over tonight and bringing ice cream sandwiches. Yay, ice cream! #
- $5 pepperoni pizzas at Little Caesars. I wonder what I should do for dinner... #
- The barbecue sauce experiment is on hold until tomorrow. Little bro Wes came over and played Wii for several hours... #
- RT @sjgames CNN headline: "Scientists track penguin poop from space" You mean it's happened? Run! We're under attack by the Space Penguins! #
- Oven is heating up. This is shaping up to be my best sourdough loaf yet! #
- Fresh out of the oven: http://yfrog.com/41gs5j #
- Seriously, who writes these synopses? And at whom are they targeted? http://yfrog.com/0jb7bj #
- Having trouble getting to sleep tonight. I hate nights like this #
- Does anyone know where I put my sleep? I seem to have misplaced it... #
- Meeting time. Yay, we're doomed! #
- Eating some of my sourdough bread I brought to work. Dry. It's that good... #
- Listening to some Carbon Leaf. Sometimes I forget how good they sound... #
- Classic rock station was playing Dio... #
- Stuck at a traffic light, just missed it and have to wait the whole cycle... #
- Wow just missed another one #
- And gas light just came on #
- They should make gas hoses shorter to penalize people that can't figure out which way to approach the pumps. #
- At the movies, alone. Somehow this reminds me of high school... #
- Forget the fact that I used to work at the movie theater... #
- Andre, a cow-orker just came into the theater. And I thought I would be alone. Nooooooo!!! #
- No longer have row to myself. Stupid tweenies. #
- Star trek was good. Silar was a good new Spock. Nimoy as a better old Spock. Pegg rocked as Scotty! #
- Ooh ooh new Burn Notice on TiVo... #
- It's as past dinnertime. I'm so hungry! #
- Haha! Yakima WA has a thong ordinance. No "cleavage of the buttocks" allowed! #
- My hay fever is KILLING me today... #
- Listening to the new Celtic Music Podcast by @marc_gunn #
- Sounds like I may have a 3Mb Internet connection lit up today. At last! #
- Aw man, spoke too soon. They're saying the 9th now. This is the last time I'm ever dealing with Verizon #
- Haha! Now they're saying it "might be working now." Does anybody know what's going on?? #
- Time to get the heck out of Dodge! #
- Today's corporate Email spam statistics: received 14,596 emails, allowed 404, tagged 14. I love my Barracuda! #
- Woohoo! 3Mb Internet connection is up and going! #
- The Invader Zim marathon of evil doom has begun #
- Been writing some code to get a head start on a Monday deadline #
- Made a new cinnamon roll recipe. Not a keeper. They're okay, but not that great. #
- Wow....no other words explain the Herring King: http://rathergood.com/herring #
- The Invader Zim marathon continues. So doth the coding. Got a lot done last night though. Hope to finish up today. #
- Got so much more coding done today, I'm almost ready to stop. Project should be easily on time for Monday at this point. #
- Also, Invader Zim marathon is on the final 6th disk... #
- Just put some chicken in the oven. I marinated it in my homemade barbecue sauce. Smells great! #
- Also, today I acquired a #munchkin Silver Piece! Well, that AND two expansion sets (Unnatural Axe and Clerical Errors) #
