I’ve been listening to the soon to be released Radiohead album, “Hail to the Thief.” It’s pretty good. I wouldn’t call it groundbreaking, but I like it. I just find Radiohead soothing.
Tomorrow is errands day. Running errands and then I’ll be brushing up on some coding knowledge after that. I am watching one of the shops and it will probably be slow enough to brush up.
Time for spicy spinach dinner! Yum
The macros are working! See, when I type :skittles: it shows up as: :skittles: I’ve got other ones for people and places that I link to often enough. I just thought I was going insane. Come to find out, I just shouldn’t work when I’m tired.
The kids are off playing Ages of Empire with my brother. Silly kids.
Temperature keeps dropping. Supposed to be in the really low 40s tonight. It was 64.6° about 10 minutes ago. Burr.
I need to have my brother come up with something spiffy for my site. Better yet, I should see about having him do an online comic for Skittlescam. Well, at least a cartoon version of her. He’s pretty good at that kind of stuff.
Well. People piss me off. I got rude today and I liked it. I’m tired of people trying to tell me that I don’t know what I’m talking about. Hello, I’ve got 14 years under my belt, you’ve got what you heard on tv. Give me a break! I am also tired of people complaining about having to pay tax here when they are on vacation. I don’t care. You are here, using our roads and services, deal with it! I can’t help it if you come from a land of ass-backward people who are scared of their own shadows. I’ve realized that there is a not-so-far-away country where apparently they must have something in the water that is making them stupid.
On a completely different tangent… Josh, my dad, and I were sitting and discussing automtic knives (switchblades) and how it is funny that they are illegal. I can open a Spyderco knife faster than I can open a switchblade. I’ve scared customers opening knives a little too fast for them. /sigh We just can’t win.
Well, today is Tonya’s birthday. The kids have behaved and I think she had a good day. Yeah.
It’s thundering and lightening outside. We just had one really close. I’ll probably shut down in a little while.
I’m so tired I don’t even want to get up. Oh well.
Brittany said her teacher said she got an “A” on her report. At least she earned it.
I tried to eat a single twix bar. I managed to eat just over a half of a bar. I’ll save the rest for another day.
Tomorrow is Tonya’s birthday. Can’t say how old she’ll be, but she is older than me.
Brittany managed to finish her report today. I think she learned more about page formatting and basic computer concepts (cut, copy, and paste) than she did about Ancient Rome. Well, at least we had her doing her own work. Apparently a friend of hers had five different people essentially doing the work for her. These types of things will show soon enough.
I’ve been teaching Brittany basic algebra. She is really excited about it. I started doing it because I know she likes solving codes and it helped her with remembering her multiplication. She has even started making algebra quizzes for me. I really hope Shalyn and AJ are into learning as much as she is.
Well, I’ve been working on trying to get MTMacros working on here, but something is wacky and I just can’t get it to come up. I have tried a zillion different ways, but something is just wonky somewhere. I will probably work on it this weekend or something. It’s not a high priority really. I just figured I’d try to do it.
I can’t stop playing Cinema Sequence. It’s sort of like 6 degrees of Bacon separation, but not exactly. It gets addicting. I am writing this in hopes of not playing it for a while.
Hot Skittles action now available on a second camera! Tell your friends, tell your friends’ friends!
Yeah, we set up a second cam with one of the extra cameras I have. Maybe she’ll be seen more considering it’s pointed at her bed. She was on earlier but there was steak to be sniffed out and so she went searching. She also discovered the sevian ladle and began licking that. Cats.
So, I’m trying to figure out how to hook up some wireless cams, using the cams I already have, which are quite a few. Why hasn’t anyone come out with a wireless usb port? That’s what I really need. Plug my usb device into a little device and bam, connected to the network. If Linksys has their wireless print server, what is necessarily stopping them from making a wireless usb port that can be controlled from a “host station” or something. I’ve got to talk to some friends. Maybe we can come up with something. Other than that, I guess I’ll be putting the other cam for Skittles up in a little corner or something. I haven’t really decided, but it would seem people really want another cam. /sigh
