This is the month for painting. We just got our house painted, and deck washed and sealed, and today we started painting Brandon’s room. He’s getting a light-ish blue, with a space-themed wallpaper border and bed set. Looks pretty good, so far. We’re doing the second (and last) coat tomorrow, and then next weekend we’ll… Continue reading Paint

Errata
I was reading through PHP Advanced this evening and on page 63, came across something incorrect (regarding objects in PHP): PHP does not support multiple levels of inheritance, so you could not make a Grandchild class that extends a Child class that in itself is an extension of the Parent class. Actually, PHP does support… Continue reading Errata
Items for your consideration
So, we got a new cat this week. More specifically, my wife got a new cat. She’s been bugging me to get another dog, which I will not do; one is enough. So, more or less in exchange for that, I capitulated on a cat. So far, our other two cats pretty much hate it.… Continue reading Items for your consideration
Oscar
Didn’t catch most of the Oscars last night, nor did I really want to; I have no desire to sit through 3+ hours of drivel just to find out the only awards that really matter. (For those keeping track, those are best picture, director, actor/actress, and supporting actor/actress. Best script and musical score are okay,… Continue reading Oscar
No clever title
I love the irony in this Slashdot posting: “XML Co-Creator says XML Is Too Hard For Programmers“. Reads to me like a title The Onion would publish. Anyway. The Slashdot post led me to Tim Bray’s weblog, which is pretty cool to me. (But then, I’m a geek and this probably won’t be as cool… Continue reading No clever title
What are all the colors of the rainbow?
Our trip to Portland today was definitely one of the odder ones. In short: The good news is, Kaitlyn’s eyes are as good as they’re going to get, according to the doctor, which is pretty damn good. No more surgeries. The bad news is, the doctor recommended a second eye surgery for Brandon, before he… Continue reading What are all the colors of the rainbow?
Kon-Tiki
We’re heading up for a day trip to Portland tomorrow for Kaitlyn’s post-op visit to the eye doctor to check how her eyes have progressed since surgery. Have to get up at 6 am though, that’s a bummer. Here’s a link too geeky/cool to pass up: The Contiki Operating System and Desktop Environment. It’s an… Continue reading Kon-Tiki
Philosophy
I thought I’d share something I had forwarded to me in an email awhile back. I don’t know who wrote it, so I can’t give proper credit. A philosophy professor stood before his class with several items laid out on a table in front of him. As the class began, he picked up a large,… Continue reading Philosophy
I’m here all week, folks…
What with the recent talk over Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting married, I’ve heard speculation that she might take to calling herself “J. Aff”. I think they’ve got the wrong idea. She should take both surnames, hyphenated, so she’d be Jennifer Affleck-Lopez… or, you know: J. Aff-Lo. Hey, it could be worse, I could… Continue reading I’m here all week, folks…
03/03/03
By now I’m sure everyone in the Gregorian calendar-using world has commented on how cool it is that today’s the third day of the third month of the third year of the century/millenium. I got a kick out of it when I saw it as the due date on a Blockbuster receipt a couple of… Continue reading 03/03/03
