g’nite, dear journal. think good thoughts for my feline friends, and their caregivers.
Lappie is now 2000. Hooray! much better than “WinMe”. all of his drivers are working… I just have to get big brain twiddled so that Lappie can share big brain’s internet, files and printing. The Laptop didn’t like the 2000 drivers too much… fortunately I had a crack team of netsurfers downloading video, modem, and assorted other OS pieces for me. 🙂
I should have Big brain home and back online tomorrow night…. I’m guessing that maybe 30 minutes more of work will complete the little remainder.
Thinking about my sweetheart, and hoping that she’s having the most pleasant of dreams. I’m going to join her in snoozetown shortly.
Goodnight, dear journal.

Okie… taking apart big brain for the move to work shortly…
I’m a little nervous about taking them both to work, just because it’s all of my techno-loot… I’d hate to lose my online abilities from home for too long. (Hopefully, both will make it home in one piece tonight.)
Unhappy dreams last night… but I’m happy to have awakened to the discovery that they were just dreams. I don’t like losing people that I love.
Step one for the new website. I’m going to make a point of putting a few minutes every day, until it’s all done.
I want to twiddle the colors some, and put a small banner graphic across the top.. something the width of both columns.
I’m going to try for something minimalist, though… my last major revision was “I got a kitten” and changing it to accomodate LJ code.

Found out today that my accumulated sick time doesn’t accumulate. my 99.9123 hours left has been nullified, and I lost 3 days of my vacation time as a result. what it boils down to is that they stole over two weeks of paid time off from me, in case I have to do any hospital time. Also, they’ve told me that I have to use my vacation time before next June, because it no longer accumulates too, it resets.
I’m going to see if they can give me my 240 hours of vacation partially in pay, then… because there’s no way that I’ll just throw money away… or, if they like, I’ll just take a week off every month for the next six months. Somehow, I don’t think that they’ll let that happen. Same thing happened to Kev, and he’s got more time built up than I do!
After all is said and done, from now on I’ll get three personal days, three weeks vacation, and three sick days a year. Since I’m salaried, they don’t count any day that I’m in for at least four hours off of my time…. so I foresee a lot of 2-6 workdays in my future, too. ; P
I bet my dad would’ve made one of these for me as a kid.
Dang. Scientists in Australia are testing a new jet (called a scramjet) that may allow air travel at eight times the speed of sound. That would theoretically allow you travel around the world in about 5 hours.
Coming soon: New hackable kids toys. Can you imagine hacking the Instant Messaging stream and making the toys swear? Or saying things like “There’s a monster in your closet. I saw it. I’m your pal.” Oh, I can see so many cool and evil uses for those.
You thought telemarketers are annoying? How about commuter-quizzers? – Motorists on a busy interstate were flagged down at random to participate in a marketing survey about attitudes on a proposed high-speed railway to be built along the highway. Needless to say many of those “selected” were rather off-put by the tactics of the marketing company, and quite a few expressed their doubts about the legality of the operation.
Misc keywords that linked to my site, lately-
I’ve got nice pot of earl gray tea.
I’m going to hit the sack fairly early tonight… catch up with my battery charging. I’m going to read a little bit before bed, though. I hope that tonight I get a full line of snooze in.
Nighty night, dear journal.
I’m a little perturbed with my chatty proggies lately. I wonder if it means all of their servers are getting too big.
AIM – been pretty good, lately. falls down now and then, but gets right back up again.
Yahoo – Weird stuff. folks visible to others but not me, or vice versa. (makes creating a nice group chat testy)
ICQ – the most pesky offender. I was sending messages back and forth to my sweetheart yesterday, when they suddenly stopped. it turns out we kept sending, but neither of us were receiving! not even in our history, just one ways. I did, however see when she logged off to drive home.
I’ve grown very dependant on gabbing with my sweetheart during the day. Pesky when our ‘telephone’ is spotty, but I guess I can’t complain too much… it’s free to use.
Thank goodness for e-mail. 🙂
“Come out… come out… where-ever you are. To meet the young la-ady who fell from a star” Glenda was such a cool witch. Seemed like she was out of it the whole time, but then again, she did ride around in a bubble.
Dave might be giving me his old Mac this weekend… which would be very cool for doing development even more cross-platform. Now, I’m thinking about what the Network name on the Hive might be. (Current Network elements are Queen (big Brain), Worker (Lappie), and Drone (Palm).) So far, Pupa was offered, and I like that… but I figure I have until it gets strapped into the network (oh boy! AppleTalk! I haven’t dealt with that in about 2 years…we’ll see how hard or easy it is to add it to the hive at all. I’d like to share the dsl net connection and files) . I’m excited… I had a line on a free mac before, but the bottom fell out of that deal. This machine is the last one before the IMAC candy-colored ones came out… it’s beige. 🙂
You know, one day, I’ll have a lovely library in my home, with overstuffed chairs, wireless net connections, tasty scents of sandalwood and such, high bookcases reaching to the ceiling, and plenty of well read, loved books on the shelves. Meanwhile, I’ll have to be happy with boxes in my closet. Maybe this weekend I’ll get some shelves, and make more of my texts simpler to access.
I’m staying home again today, instead of spreading disease like Scotto Germyseed. I’m drinking Theraflu in which I can actually see tiny organisms evolving from radial to bilateral symmetry as I watch. Give to me health, O healing, hot, lemony brew!
Fiddling with CSS, and what I want to know is why I can’t specify type in CSS to degrade to different sizes, like so:
.sansesque { font: 12px Verdana, 14px Helvetica }
Given the x-height difference, those are really more equivalent than if both are at the same size. Does anyone know a workaround for this (or a reason it doesn’t make sense)?
(Yes, I know 14 px Helvetica looks ugly. just making an example, here)
simple substitution cipher. maybe better than the lodd idea?
Open Excel 2000. Under File menu choose “Save As Web Page” option. Click on Publish button and check “Add interactivity with” box. Press Publish button. Internet Explorer will load our HTML page with Excel table in the middle of the page. Scroll to row 2000 and column WC. Select row 2000 and press Tab key to make WC active column. Hold down Shift+Crtl+Alt key combination and click Office logo in the upper-left. Now you are ready to play the game that looks like spy hunter. Use arrow keys to drive, space to fire, H to turn on headlights.
*grunt* *scratch* Late to bed, Late to rise…
Well, I was up pretty late last night, polishing off a programming project, and doing a little futzing around. Reworking my home network, cleaning house, and generally puttering.
I need to dash off to the store and post office. (Get Newt and myself more groceries, and mail a bag of switches to tomorrow’s birthday girl. it’ll get there a little late, but preemptive gifties have made it there a week in advance, so it’ll balance out.)
Going to see Paul, Kevin, Brad, Bheesham and Marjo briefly today, so I’d better get moving.
Be back later, Journal.
*hungry for Asahi Dashi Tofu and Vegetable Tempura*
Anyone want to take me out to dinner?
