Archive for June 2004

The weekend progressed quite nicely. For once, I had very little to do, so it was, by far, the most relaxing weekend I’ve had in a while.
Friday night involved some relaxation and hanging out with Alex. Pool, darts, and video games were all played. I went back to his place Saturday afternoon for some BBQ […]

Societal Malady 24June2004|18:44

The week has been moving along quite nicely. As usual, not any big events have occurred, but enough small things have such that an update is warranted.
Work has been pretty good as of late. I’ve been doing stuff with Excel, numbers, formulae, etc. How can you go wrong? Doesn’t mean I can’t wait for the […]

Patron Saint of Traffic 21June2004|20:40

Pictures are up! Yay for progress. They would have been up over the weekend, but I thought that IE’s non-compliance foiled me. It ended up that I only had to discover the compliant way to do what I wanted and write a little script to make it work in all browsers.
The weekend was quite good. […]

No Specific Reason 17June2004|20:03

This has been quite the good week. Not for any specific reason, mind you, it just has been.
Work has been going steadily. A couple of lulls here and there, but, for the most part, it has been moving at a respectable pace. And I am getting some interesting work to do now. Overall, quality of […]

Experimentation 13June2004|21:39

The weekend is drawing near an end. This means work tomorrow. Blah.
Part of today was spent cooking. Yay for Jewish food! Noodle kugel and charoset were quite tasty and quite missed. I’ll have to do that more often. The food processor does need to be disciplined, however, for hiding from me.
Not much other excitement to […]

The rest of the week ended without too much excitement. Work picked up finally, so it’s been more interesting around there.
The car is in the shop right now for its scheduled maintanence. Should be getting it back this afternoon. Then it needs to be washed also, but the dealership might do that for me.
Tonight, I […]

Molasses in January 9June2004|13:46

I just finished my lunch break and I am now writing a blog entry. That should indicate how slow today has been. In actuality, the day has been even slower.
Work hasn’t been pretty good up until today. Been working on some database merging and such, which has essentially stalled today for a couple of reasons. […]

One Down 7June2004|20:35

The first day of work is behind me. It looks as though my job won’t be too bad. I even get fun things like Cisco IP phones and Herman Miller Aeron chairs with which to play.
After my drive home, I discovered a revolution in my house. The air conditioner decided to attempt a revolt by […]

Books 6June2004|13:37

I added my now ridiculously long reading list. I suppose book recommendations are welcome, but don’t expect me to run out and buy anything anytime soon. Not including books that are in progress, I have 4218 pp of reading! Eep!

The Calm Before the Storm 6June2004|10:11

The calm being a lack of work. The storm being the presence of work. Fun stuff.
Yesterday mostly involved being apathetic and slumming around the house. My computer was an ample source of entertainment for a good deal of the afternoon. Then came some tennis with Vim. That was surely more interesting than expected (read: we […]
