My internet connection was down for about 18 hours, until after noon today. 
Jane called about 1 this morning and left me a voice mail. Kind of odd for her to be up that late, let alone calling me that late. I hope she's ok; all she said is that she misses me. Odd, 'cause she doesn't even answer my email.
Are grapes considered fruit?...

Tis true. I shall see you in silliness.

it's all good, kid is out of my class.
Sunday is the 10th anniversary of my first day as a professional software developer.
I feel really effin' fortunate to have fallen into a career that I love, that I do well, and that can support me in the lifestyle to which I've become accustomed. I say fallen into because I have math degrees and only ever took one programming class in college. I had...

Bwaa ha ha ha haaaa! There is a competing version of intelligent design.
Go read the User's Guide to Adhesives. Interesting stuff, but it didn't tell me what I should use to bond felt to slate. There ought to be an online doo-hickey where you can select two materials from dropdown boxes, and it'll tell you what the best adhesives are for joining those two materials.
As far as the slate to felt thing, I think I'm...

Maybe you're the first person on earth to think of glueing felt to slate. It could possibly be if it's not on the internet.

mark your calendars! the 2005 Folk Fest is August 19-21 at the North Atlanta Trade Center. It's apparently the world's largest folk/outsider art show and sale. I went with Jane last year. We got there late, but still had 4 hours to see it. Bzzzt! Thanks for trying! We barely got halfway through. And this stuff is affordable. You can get limited edition (of like...

k. so, i'm curious. i notice that a lot of people that belong to this site are occupied in design. i have at least a couple of good friends who are, in fact. so, this is not meant as an affront, but "design" just seems pretty generic. i design software; interior designers decorate homes; i have a fraternity brother, a mechanical engineer, who designs scroll...

it was probably his wife's vehicle.
there is one male nurse-midwife in the atl area, and one homebirth male midwife in CA that also does births in Mexico. both of them get a lot of shit.
every now and then there will be a big discussion in the doula/midwife groups about male doulas and midwives and their place at birth. call me sexist, but i don't really believe men besides daddies belong at births. there are some out there, though.

I'm the local admin, but all of our network traffic goes through a larger data center in California, and they add additional filters/firewalls.
I normally just use my phone to do all my non work browsing...makes it easy to avoid getting caught.

Now you know why I don't sleep at night 
1. Now they want me to start reading PDF. This is a far more difficult task than writing. It's going pretty well so far, thanks to iText, a free open source Java PDF parser. Time's been flying at work.
2. Never the less, I'm fucking glad it's friday.
3. My attorney waived my arraignment hearing. I'm not sure what this indicates regarding my case,...

" My attorney waived my arraignment hearing." Dude, what did you do? Waiver of arraignment doesn't mean anything for you really. Just means you don't have to go to court to get formally charged and make your plea.
and now i see the lips ad. oops.

I've been reminiscing lately, about Project Athena of all things. I remember when I first got to MIT, Project Athena consisted pretty much of IBM RTs, Decstatation and Vaxstation 2000s and 2100s. The first year, I'd stay up until dawn downloading porn (via newsgroup; we didn't have web browsers) and playing on MUDs.

So, my doc agrees that a bite is a likely cause of Teddy's distress on Sunday. Fuck, I thought he was dead in the car. *phew*. Thank you for your well wishes.
Work, I'm groovin' on. I got this RTF that's causing an infinite loop in the import code (actually, in the code that writes out the imported info into our proprietary format). Wanna know...
