good game

Overall, I think it was a good game. The Raiders didn't really show up until late in the third quarter, but I think that the Pepsi commercials won. The one with Ozzy came in first followed by the baboons (since Sierra Mist is a Pepsi product.)

Man, there's a lot of stuff going on behind blogs. You got your template stuff, which could include javascripts and the rest of the *ml stuff, and pictures, and content and different main blog servers competing over content, counters, feedback/coment buttons, and more!

I think I've spent about 4 hours over the last 2 days just adjusting or researching how my blog should work and how it should look. I'd love to have a counter and comments functions, but I'm not sure that anyone is reading this stuff anyway. :-\

I need to write something other than this self-referential garbage anyway.

chow;-)

Blog blog bloggin' along

OK, so I'm gonna try to change the template in use here and see if I can make it a bit prettier (er, um nicer in a masculine sort of way I mean. ;-)

So, I wonder how I enable comments here at blogspot, or a counter... I guess i'll poke around some more...

OK, so if you are viewing this on a Mac running Mac OS X (and not using IE), you get to see the pretty blue ripples background. If not, you see a nice warm yellow background.

paw, paw, bite!

Life goes on

Well, two people were laid off in my department yesterday. I'm very sorry to say that they are gone. Both will be missed. The odd thing was that they were laid off so suddenly and no one else was. It was said to be a 'structural' layoff and not one based on performance. :-\

Now maybe I'll get cracking on the stuff that needs to be done. :-D Like paint the bathrooms, install a new dishwasher, muck out my office and the garage, etc. Oh, I haven't taken down the xmas lights yet... Maybe this weekend.

OK, so I may need to determine what the theme of this site is. Should I write about my life? life that happens around me? the various web issues? Things I'm interested in? (I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to start a monologue about things I'm *not* interested in.)

Oh, I did say that I'd write more about myself...

I'm male, about 40 years old, I have a lovely wife and kids and I am lucky enough to be able to live in the same place that I grew up. I have several core interests that seem to do a great deal to influence my underlying structure. Off the top of my head I'd list these as:

• Family
  
• Education (Because of my mom & dad)
  
• Palo Alto & Stanford (home town)
  
• Fantasy & Science Fiction (and associated items)
  
• Macintosh Computers
  

Obviously, there's some things missing, but that's a start.

So, here it is...

Free weblog for me. I'll probably upgrade eventually. ;-) But for now, since my web site MacDude.com seems to be stuck in limbo because i can't ftp to the host server and I can't use ssh becasue I have /bin/false as my shell... :-P

Hmmm. Seems really lame, doesn't it. It started out innocently enough, I got a domain name and found space on a friend's site... Only the friend's site got moved to another friend's site (I only know his name and email address) where it was broken into a couple of times and so he's locked up so securely that it's nearly in stasis.....

Wow, is blogging really just a venting vehicle? Next time I'll try to be more up-beat and tell you something more about myself....

bye
