Seafood Salad and Neighborhood Changes

We stopped at
what I consider to be the "new" tops of deleware and sheridan. It been
a while since I've been in the old neighborhood. Get this, Feel Rite is
gone. Hodown and I spent a long time working for them in the early to
mid 90s, I feel old now. See the pic, now there is just a Charter One
in its place. I think that was the only Health Food store where I've
bought acid. Crazy early 90s.

I also snagged a pic of my elementary school. While driving by I
realized I spent my entire life living only as far as one block from
elmwood. Lets just say it was the first "big street" I crossed as a
kid.

cemetary models

into the game
engine.

On the way their my mother and I stopped at Michael's. They had a major
clearance sale on junk. Here is a

Twin's Birthday

We started out with some games of bocce? For those of you that don't know, it's a lawn bowling game played by Italians. Here are the rules.

What else could you play at an Italian birthday celebration.

Here is a picture of my dad and my uncle. They are identical.

Louie the Dog

This is the closest I have been to a dog in about 5 years. It was freaky, thank you loratadine.

As an update to this I am now thoroughly sick and wait another five years before I get that close to a dog again.

Same Party - I am actually having fun riding a tricycle build for a two year old. It's amazing that I fit this seeing as I am 6'1 but it works fine.

The four journal entries below

The four entries below were actually from Saturday. Unfortunately, my email was down that whole time, due to a server upgrade at our web hosting facility, so they didn't post until today.

Actually, the web hosting service we use sucks. They used to be really good, and then they just started going seriously downhill. I would like to move the site to another location but I am having so many issues with the move.

1. Host it myself - the best solution. Seeing as I own a really nice server, I would like to use it. The problem is the connection is to damn expensive for me. Sounds like I really need to write for a grant.

2. Move it somewhere local - I could move it somewhere local but I have a lot of issues with maintaining the anonymity of keeping it far away. I like the fact that some tech dork out west does not care about our community at all. I cannot guarantee that someone local wouldn't. I mean what if some local person had a vendetta against us then fucked the site up. It's too much trust for people I do not know. Why would someone far, far away at a giant tech headquarters want to know who was writing this or that journal entry? It's simply not an issue. Someone here in town, might have more curiosity and that's what worries me.

I also like the anonymity of calling joe techie when there is a problem and getting mad at him a lot more then being pissed off at some local person with a face, when something goes wrong.

I need to make a decision soon, or hope that now that our hosting service upgraded that everything will be great again.

Dad's Gift

After examing the ton's of arty stuff that my father for sure would never want I ended up getting him a gift certificate to Gabriel's Gate, my favorite restaurant in Allentown

Well, seeing entry this came to my journal 3 days late, now I have more to say about it. Turns out my father deosn't like Gabriel's Gate, my mother told me. So Terry, matthew, and I went there yesterday with the gift certificate. You should try that sometime, it's pretty fun because you feel special that you have a gift certificate even though you bought it.

Five Missing Journals

I wrote five journals today and sent them along with pictures via email to my journal. Unfortunately, the lame ISP had some email drama and are installing a new cisco systems router. Until then the email is all on hold. So someday soon, all the journal entries will come all at once out of time order.

Argh, I wish I had a grant right now. I have so many ideas and I want my own line, so I can ditch this server and use my own. I mean I have the server, I just need the connection.

Calamari Squid and e:peeps mixup

[inlink]lisa,32[/inlink]

Funny that you mention squid. Most of the calories that were used to produce the code for this site came from calamari. Simply put calamari energy = happy paul = quick thinking paul = programmer paul. Thank you calamari for making elmwoodstrip.com possible.

On a side note, I did not have calamri yesterday morning when I made the stupidest error. I was trying to purchase the rights to epeeps.com and instead got epeers.com. Which sound so lame. Errors like that make me so mad, but it's my own fault for not double checking. So now I own epeers.com and don't want it. I was planning on starting my social networking site, a subsidiary of (e:Strip) at epeeps. I probably still will, but I have to get over my anger about the mixup first. The idea is that elmwoodstrip.com will be about your ideas, links, pictures, etc and (e:peeps) will help you find your friends in town via cell-phone, IM, SMS, computer, networking connections. Who knows.
