Shawn and Sara(h)

We had (e:shawnr) and his wife sara(h) over for dinner last night. It was nice to hang out, although I must confess I suck at video games and we played them. Well, I kind of watched playing them although sometimes I had a controller. USually, once I figured out which character I was the game was over.

We ate lots of good food. We had tuna steaks, salad, Rider Family Potato Salad, fruit salad, smoothies, string beans and more.

HEre are the berries pre fruit salad. They were full of organic yumminess, that wegmans has at prices the coop could never dream of.

Blood Pressure

I am obsessed with blood pressure machines. I seems like every year my blood pressure gets lower and lower. Is there a "too low."

Written vs Verbal Communication

I had an interesting conversation with a person who is very adept at business level interpersonal communication, so I thought I would share it with you all.

She told me the reason that verbal communication is preferred, is that it isn't recorded like written communication. An email can be forwarded or saved forever and bite you back but a phone coversation or better yet personal meeting fades with memory.

I guess that's preety good advice but seeing as I record my whole life, nothing should ever fade till the alzheimers is so bad I lose short terms memory.

I also thought about the fact that I have (yes, unethically) recorded numerous phone conversations and face to face conversations on various digital devices and wonder if she was talking into account the increased collection of data in the era of personal digital devices.

Either way, it's something to think about. If it's questionable say it with as few digital devices near you as possible, best idea is to meet someone at a nudist colony or a have a swim meeting at the lake, lol.

I am such a freaking loser

Nothing sucks more than being a loser careerwise. Maybe it really is time to split from this city although I really don't want to. I am so tired of feeling like a loser. I went to get my old job back today and it turned out something had to change because the two classes they were going to have me teach were at the same time, argh. So now I am going to end up being a lab technician while teaching the Advanced Programming class this semester.

Then I get home and they are tarring the parking area in our backyard, so everything smells like cancer.

Night at the Clam Bar

I went to the clambar with (e:matthew) . I was looking at my journal from last June [inlink]paul,981[/inlink] and we went then too. (e:hodown) said she might make a donation to the server slush fund. I need $144.00 to get the connection setup. After that it's 104.00 per month but we already pay $59.00 for internet and $40.00 for server space, so maybe its not much more. It depends if it includes a phone number. If it does I am sold because having home access to the server will mean speed and easy development/backup.

[size=m]Twisted Takes Off[/size]
lwist: ok. gotta go. see ya in a couple weeks!
lwist: lwist signed off at 11:32 pm.

Everything (e:twisted) will be out of my life for a bit, till she is back from vacation. I am going to die or have a thesis when it's done.

Pride and Traffic

It is nice to see traffic arriving in from other places on the web. I promised myself that I would not program this afternoon at all and just leave the site alone. Let's see if that can still happen!! If anyone visiting the site from afar wants to hire me or chat about the site, feel free to shoot me a postit or an email, using the icons under my userPic. You can visit my portfolio

to read more about the user's interface and about site features, although it has been upgraded a bunch since that was written.

Right now I am working for $17,000/year with no health insurance and it can't be hard to beat that for a PHP (OOP), MySQL, XML, AJAX, WAP, DHTML programmer and graphic designer/ hard worker.

Well today is another pride parade and festival. It should be fun, as are all elmwood events. It is weird not being able to view it from the porch this year. I was so used to living on elmwood. Now we have to walk.

Man on the floor

Geoffrey [inlink]paul,2491[/inlink] knocked some guy out giving him a massage in our living room. I don't really know him and he is snoring. Geoffrey thinks it would be funny to decorate him with flowers. The kid is the same guy in (e:flacidness) 's journal [inlink]flacidness,113[/inlink]
