I can handle commenting right now, but I just can't handle talking about what's going on with me. Thanks to all of you that give me a moment of distraction here or there.
Good thoughts will be appreciated, especially tomorrow morning. I may be about to lose another one of my kids, or I may not. All I can... Read More
Blogger's block is writer's block, except when it is worse-
It knows no bounds to emptiness in flat prose or free verse.
You sit and think, and much you stink, so sit and think some more
You contemplate your shopping lists, but hesitate to bore.
You'd plagiarize, but damn your eyes, there's nothing that seems right-
You're cursed with... Read More
So, I got bitten by a zombie and now I'm the zombie ruler of the universe. Oh, and the gay zombie ruler at that! It's pretty fun, but not such a big deal.
So, what's new with me, you might ask- or since you're doing the asking, you'd ask "What's new with you?"
And I would sit there, and think a bit, and eventually you'd realize I wasn't coming up with much, and so you'd ask something like, "So, how about that March weather?" To which I might reply, "Yeah, it sure came in like a lion *last*... Read More
It's nice to see that you are doing well hon.. I really hate that I've lost touch with ya as of late..
I've missed seeing you in silly land. Was thinking about you at length the other day.
Take care hon and remind me not to be so slack keeping up on you..
Well, you can stake that claim
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blame
If they don't take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frame
We go out in the world and take our chances... Read More
I've started taking practice tests for my Java certification attempt. One reason that I'm slower on my project right now is that I did it partly to learn Java, and my focus is now (for the moment) on specifically learning what I need to pass the test, more than rounding my skills out- not to worry though, I will come back...

So, I was on a mission today, trying to find something interesting to capture in images.
The sun teased me with patterns of light and shadow cast onto my office window by the ornate metal bars. The light and shadow both were like tenuous solids living in the glass.
Try as I might, it wouldn't translate. Too close to the window and I could not... Read More
I was working on the project when I realized that I could do it better- and vastly improve the potential to produce interesting graphical output- if I did things a different way. The program would also be 23 zillion times faster.
So, it's all scrapped, and on to the new version. Here's the first little bit- it's a skeleton,... Read More
So what's new with me since last time? Really, not much, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned, because the time I have before I should stop writing and start sleeping is only so much... and should alllow for the amount I have to write quite nicely.
Item the first- while I've worked with computers for a long time, and replaced cards... Read More
That is an interesting project. Do they have an average life expectancy? You could program the Beasts to have a higher chance of preying on the young or elderly.
Hope she pulls through ok
