There’s just something wrong. What’s wrong? I have no idea. I’m taking the blood pressure medicine (started on Wednesday). Today, I just feel worn down and low. I’m not tired, I just have no energy – listless would be a good word for it. We went out to lunch, and eating didn’t feel good (that […]
After our marathon meeting this morning, the folks in my group headed over to Banjara for some Indian food. Why? I suggested it because Jen doesn’t like Indian food and I had a terrible jones for it. I’d never been there before, and I was pleasantly surprised. The lunch buffet is stocked with really good […]
For those of you using OS X, and who upgraded to Jaguar, boy do I have good news for you!! Fink has been released!! It now supports 10.2! You can use all your favorite Unix programs like ncftp, emacs, etc from the comfort of OS X.
Ok, why isn’t today over yet? It’s only 4:50, and I can’t keep my eyes open. I’d give anything for a Code Red or Dr. Pepper right now. I think it’s a great sign of my commitment that I haven’t had one already.
In the interest of lowering my blood pressure, I’ve undertaken the following: no caffeine reduce caloric intake by 1/3 – 1/2 of current levels no soda of any kind (because diet gives me headaches and taste like dirty diaper) no more cream cheese-laden bagels for breakfast (today I had yogurt) no more late-night snacking I […]
I’m still sick, so I decided to suck it up and go to the doctor. He says it’s still a cold and if it’s not better by Thursday, come back in. Ooooo-kay. In other news, I have insane blood pressure. It’s kind of scary that it’s been creeping up over the past few months and […]
It says something, I’m not sure what, that I refuse to get sick during the week. I have been miserable all weekend, coughing up lung monkeys, blowing my nose and finding rubber cement in the kleenex and feeling just horrible. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning to get some drugs and hopefully head off […]
There are many kinds of people who end up working software development. I’ve been writing code for half a decade now and I’ve discovered that there are only a few general categories people fall into. There are strengths and weaknesses in each category, and you’ll be able to tell which category I think I fall […]
I’m sure that if you pay attention to such things, you know that AOL laid a lot of people off today. I’ve been through several (I think this is my sixth or seventh, I can’t keep them straight now). They’re no fun, and it always feels like people have died when I hear they’ve been […]
Don’t fight the Man… it only leads to pain, my friend. To explain, web standards: CSS, DIV’s, XHTML, the whole “separating content from display” nonsense, etc… it’s hard. It’s really hard. It’s especially hard when you have an extremely wide range of browsers to support, a rigid and uncompromising client, a design that doesn’t lend […]
