Cool Changes Around Here

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

More changes here; notice the new(-ish) Meebo Me! widget on the sidebar there. I’d say I wrote it myself, but it’s based heavily on the Xbox Live! Gamertag widget. I just changed some values around and voila! it worked… not on the first try, but that goes with any piece of software. I’m always hesitant when something I write appears to work the first time out the gate.  It’s like, “okay, what’s broken?” Like a house or car that is up for sale way below the market.

Fry: Well, I give up. What’s the catch?
Landlord #3: Oh, no catch. Although we are technically in New Jersey.

Fry: Not one place even remotely liveable.

Mom’s got a blog

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

First of all, I’ve said this before, I hate the word blog. It sounds like some sort of disease or gastric condition. “I’ve got the blog.” Yuck.

But yes, my own mother has entered into the world of cybertown express with her very own blog. At least it’s through wordpress, so it has my endorsement. She’s already ahead of me as far as…  Je ne sais que  – she’s got at least onecommenter while I’ve yet to have anyone. Granted, I don’t put myself out there like she does, she does have a business after all.

I’m hesistant to share my own blog with her.  Sometimes I say or do things that might cause her to blush.  But you know what? Screw it? We’re both adults.

All dressed up and nowhere to go

I Attempted to go to a job fair today. After washing my filthy Steve self, I went online to confirm some details, and it turned out the event was postponed until next Tuesday. So I’m here in some clothes that are a bit nicer than my usual fare (which is usually a black nerd T-shirt and jeans), and no place to be.

To pad my small post a bit, I’ve been trying to beat my high-score in Pac-Man C.E. ever since my last post about it, but to no avail. My average score is getting steadily higher though, and I can only hope to beat the record very soon. I was having the best round yet yesterday, but the pizza guy came and it was time for us to eat. Oh how I wanted to finish that round! C’est la vie…
