If you create a database, don’t expect it to live forever. Always keep a backup of at least your schema, and preferrably your data. After having experienced a total data loss, I’m at least reassured that I kept my schema on a system other than the one the database was running on. I had to […]

Booooooomtown Homirobbery Division
We watched two new cop shows this weekend, Robbery Homicide Division and Boomtown. First, Robbery Homicide Division was ok. It’s better than CSi, but far worse than any of the Law & Order series or NYPD Blue. The weird part is it’s hard to nail down what’s wrong with it. LA is ripe for a […]
If I Were Rich…
If I were rich, I’d get one of these for the office, one of these for upstairs to go along with my work provided Powerbook and abandon the PC World forever. While I’m dreaming, I’d have 1.5mb/sec DSL, a wireless network and everything would have Airport cards so there aren’t wires strung all over the […]
Sacharin Home Alabama
So, I took Jen to see Sweet Home Alabama last night. Oh my, what a crap movie. I’ll start with the two good things about the movie, and then go into the myriad sins it commits. There were three highlights: Candace Bergen, Ethan Embry and Fred Ward, all underused, but they managed to stand out […]
Head of the Class
I love that I’m ahead of the curve on something. I used to use definition lists because they were easy to style (back in the wild days before CSS was widely supported). Now, unordered and ordered lists are easy to style. My favorite is to use margin-left:-15px to keep those bullets lined up with that […]
My Name Is
My name is Kevin, and I’m rockin’ the suburbs. That is all.
Photography is Yummy
Through k10k, I found this lovely photography site. There are some amazing photos in the portfolio (like this one). A great use of Flash as well… pretty without being unusable or superfluous. I’ve got a lot to get done today, on top of getting my car fix (which I’ll tell you all about later). I’ll […]
I’m Huh?
According to one of the Ops guys at work, I’m Da MAAAAN. I’m not sure what I should do to cement my status as DA MAAAAAN, but I’m open to suggestions.
The Folds of Thieving Acid House Hillbilly Jams
So, the big order from Amazon showed up yesterday with Jen’s Gift Pack and my CD’s. I got Jen the new remastered Grease DVD, the soundtrack, the Grease II soundtrack, Carole King’s remastered Tapestry and A3’s Exile on Coldharbor Lane because she loves the Sopranos theme song, but I don’t like the rest of the […]
I Have The Power!!!
It’s sick and wrong, I know. I can’t tell you how disgusted I am by the whole thing. When I first saw it, I knew the end was near. What am I talking about? You don’t know? Oh, you’re gonna crap yourself. They’ve made a new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!! It’s wrong […]
