So it’s July already, where does the time go? Right now we’re getting our shit together in time for a visit from my brother and his family on Thursday who are coming to us by way of Chicago, for some reason they feel the need to go on a long road trip and take 4 days to travel Chicago to Cincinnati (I believe) to Washington to Charlotte, roughly a 1,225 mile trip. Apparently they want to go back via Memphis, making it a 2,387 mile round trip…
Finally after some 2½ years of using the version 9 label and theme, I’ve upgraded to version 10. If version 9 was served up from a Commodore 64, then version 10 runs off a Pentium 2 running Windows 95.
This isn’t one of those “I’ve had enough, I’m shutting this down” posts, nor is it a “my life is boring so I’m not blogging” either, its more of a “I needed a good WordPress plugin as the default admin area didn’t play too well with my iPhone”. Sad as it may seem, this is how I browse now, I basically only use the desktop upstairs for sending out resumes, downloading Doctor Who episodes, IMing Robyn during the day and occasionally watching TV.
Today I turned 30, how the hell did that happen? To mark this special occasion we’re having a party, I hope it ends better than my last party when Duane got me liquored up on pints of Tequila and I then killed Bohemian Rhapsody, but who’s kidding who here?
Here’s to my next thirty years!
One of the many benefits of Robyn working for Lowe’s is the amount of free stuff she gets, like tickets to basketball games and NASCAR races. Like last year, she came home with free tickets to the All-Star races, and as I actually had a pretty enjoyable time last time, I took them.
After much hilarity (read: ineptitude) we’re back online, some 3 weeks after we officially went off… So what’s happened in those 3 weeks?
You know, it’s been just over 5 years to the day that President Bush declared “Mission Accomplished”
How have you enjoyed the last 5 years of rich and bountiful peace? Just remember that when you’re gassing up on $3.50+ a gallon and prices of bread and milk skyrocket, it’s the rich and bountiful peace you’re paying [...]
Its almost sickening how much of a slave to the online world I’ve become. Its now been nearly a week without regular internet access and I’m literally fretting how out of control things have become.
Sure I have my iPhone but without a wi-fi connection I can only do so much, and even though we moved [...]
As TBS changed it’s baseball setup to go national, Braves games have been few and far between, more so since Atlanta’s local TBS changed to Peachtree TV. But here in Charlotte we need not fret anymore, as Time Warner Cable struck a deal to create a Braves specific channel that shows these games. And for some reason the “national” game against the Dodgers was blacked out on my TBS, so I switched to this channel and got more than I bargained for…
We’re 10 days away from closing on our new home, and over the last few days I’ve noticed it’s finally popped up on the satellite imagery sites like Google and MSN. including MSN’s Bird’s Eye View…
After much speculation, Flickr announced yesterday that they are now dealing with video content. Now while this could be one of those very bad ideas, and many people on Flickr are screaming YouTube! It does come with a few caveats. You must be a Pro member to upload videos and it’s limited to 90 seconds and/or 150mb filesize.
After a long, drawn out affair (read 15 months), the Charlotte Bobcats have finally confirmed that the Bobcats Arena will now be known as Time Warner Cable Arena…
Way back at the start of this year, I set forth 5 goals, after the 1st quarter I’m probably no closer to attaining 3/5. I haven’t bugged Robyn for any material items, but then nothing of note has come out since then… And let’s face it, Rock Band for the Wii is due out June 22nd. Last week we saw a house (a proper house, not a townhouse that we were looking at in the same development) that is perfect in many ways…
