What a day. It rained buckets here, so traffic sucked. I got into it with a friend over the death penalty. Not a close friend, just someone I met online and never in person. Says I, "even turkey has gotten rid of the death penalty." Says she, "yeah, 'cause they're dumb." *sigh*
I went and picked up my first load of grease in months. It...

Ahh, spring. When a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of the riding season. And love, I guess they say. I washed the bike last week, and adjusted the shifter. She feels right.
The love thing? I was thinking on the way home how it would rock to have somebody hanging on behind me. But I'm not sweating it too much. I'll get by with...

I was gonna write a rant, but I just read Llona's journal, and it completely disarmed me. Maybe next time, kiddos.

Yeah ! Almost ready I guess. I had to get quite a few things to make the trip easier. A good pair of walking shoes. Some quick dry clothes, a player, and a bunch of film. It will all be worth it . : )
My exciting Saturday. Wake up after noon. Play around on the internet and rip CDs. Make dinner. Eat the aforementioned. Finish reading the April 2005 Playboy. Nap on the couch until midnight (albeit with a warm wiener dog draped over me). Play around on the internet.

So how was the Christy Hemme pictorial?
Yeah....I'm a WWE geek, but the ladies here on SG are so much hotter than the avg. Playboy model!

Bugger it all. I'm taking a vacation day. Make it a 4-day weekend. The ability to do this with zero notice is one of the greatest benefits of not having to deal directly with customers. The greatest benefit of not having to deal directly with customers is not having to deal directly with customers.

I am a writer of software in the C and C++ languages. I've been doing it professionally for about 9 1/2 years (holy fuck!). I've only had 3 jobs since college, 2 of them with the same company. My current specialty is PDF. Yeah, the "Download Adobe Reader" stuff. Adobe publishes a 1000-page or so instruction book (specification) on how to create PDF files. When...

The only experience i have with RTF is dealing with WordPad/Word conversion for school papers, and that's a royal bitch and a half. Is RTF a microsoft spec? It would make sense.
ick, back into the not knowing what i'm doing. eh, it's time to go home now, anyway.

I'm a little cheerier today than yesterday. I gave my brain a rest and did a bit of work on another project, one that I know my way around. And I was reminded that Friday's a holiday! Plus, I got to ride the bike in today.

I call everyone love.

I am sooo fucking lost at work right now. I'm so fucking lost, I don't even know how lost I am. All I can do is stare glassy-eyed and drooling at the streams of incomprehensible shit scrolling by in another window.

Oh yeah...how is the Coke w/ Lime? I've been drinking Diet Coke with real limes for years (Willy's rocks...lemons AND limes available at the Coke fountain!). I tried the Diet Coke /w fake Lime added by Coke, and I didn't like it.
That said, I do like a bit of real lime when I'm drinking Rum & Coke. I skip the lime when I'm drinking Whiskey/Bourbon & Coke.
Even if you accept the premise that killers should be killed, you must admit that while there's a possibility that a single innocent person can me executed, nobody may be executed.
I don't have a major issue with the appeals process when there's a chance that the person's trial wasn't fair or accurate. When Brian Nichols shot and killed a judge and court reporter in front of however many witnesses, the margin of error became 0. He was already identified, multiple reliable witnesses saw what happened. The victims are definitely dead.
At this point, I say his fate should be in the hands of the families of the victims. If they all agree that he should die, execute him that day. He is not an innocent man.
In the other case I mentioned, there is a slight possibility that the confession was coerced. If he enters a guilty plea in front of a judge, his execution shouldn't take too much longer. If he wants a trial, and that is well within his rights, then he is open to the appeals process afterwards.
